Just a simple upgrade problem, didn't found it in the FAQ (snif...)
I had just upgraded my system to FreeBSD-1.0-R (bindist)
But, while I needsome changes to the kernel I wanted to recompile it!
However, now version 1.1 already released, so I want to upgrade in once.
I have a working 1.0R system, and the 1.1R sources. The QUESTION what to do.
Once ..., I have recompiled 386BSD no problem then.
Now, however I don't know what to do first. I wanted to start with the
"sys.*" part. Have untared that, as I did with "include.*"
Now I have /usr/src/<<a lot of sources>> and
/usr/src/include/<<include files that have names as
the old /usr/include/<files> >>
When I make a config file, and config the system, I get an error:
"in file ... can not find "dirent.h"
It still in /usr/include, but I supose all those files are outdated
It is also in /usr/src/include, but make can't find it there. I supose
the old /usr/include/* files have to be removed and replaced by new onces.
Running /usr/src/include/Makefile doesn' work (or I don't know the right
targets).
Has anybody already compiled a 1.1R kernel on a 1.0R system?
Or should I make a bindist update first, then recompile??
Please HELP
