I just got 1.0 installed on top of my 0.9 system, and it appears to be running fine. There was some problem with the upgr floppy, when it tried to upgrade my filesystem on wd0a, it died with a bus/fatal error... I got around it by doing it manually... But that is neither here nor there...in fact, disregard this paragraph. What I want to do now is be able to dial out, using cu. Now, I know there was a patch posted here or on the mailing list, I got that patch, and applied it.. YES, before I unpacked the new src tree I wiped out the old one. So I tried to rebuild the system. YES, I have applied patches 00 and 01. (02 and 03 are on the way)... The question I have is this: How do I build the system from scratch again? Under 0.9, I seem to recall, I just % cd /usr/src % make build but under 1.0 things *just don't go*. A ways in, the make pukes on some compiler errors, and I don't know what to do to fix things.. One thing I remember (this is all from memory, since I can't cu) is that there was a 'parse error' before __P in signal.h on line 194'. In fact, this parse error showed up also when I tried to rebuild the kernel... ie, both /usr/src/blah/blah/blah/signal.h AND /usr/include/sys/signal.h showed the same parse error. And there were a number of other errors involving things that were undefined, prototype decl mismatches, and so on. So what is it that I have done wrong? Am I supposed to follow the FAQ -current upgrade instructions, or is it supposed to be just a 'make build'? Boy, with 0.9 things just went, no problem at all... Oh yeah, before I forget, I'd like to thank everyone involved with the NetBSD project, I've been running 0.9 since last year sometime, and the whole setup is fantastic. Thanks... Also, thanks for any advice anyone in the know can give me as far as building the system goes. Also, building the kernel using the standard proc (config DUCK, cd ../compile/DUCK, make depend; make) --- is this still the correct procedure? Thanks a million in advance... Colin. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- fox@cs.mcgill.ca Colin Bradley Anything that is good and useful is made of chocolate.
