Friends,
I'm hoping someone will be able to point out my error; any help will
be appreciated, I'm sure!
I did install the 950928-SNAP of FreeBSD 2.1, but didn't install the
kernel source code (with only 210M HD, I wasn't planning on rebuild-
ing my kernel until I got a bigger drive...). So, I downloaded the
sys files from the 2.1-RELEASE.
I copied GENERIC and reconfigured, went through most of the make,
and got an error. So I tried /usr/sbin/config GENERIC and tried to
make that. Same error, during make. Here is the make output:
/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC:{526}# make
building standard kern library
lorder: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number
ar: no archive members specified
usage: ar -d [-Tv] archive file ...
If anyone has an idea why there is a problem with the fd number (file
descriptor?) and maybe even how to fix it, or where to look, I'd love
to hear it.
Thank you,
Tim
