This is a list of things I had to do so that make works from /usr/src.
It is not comprehensive, and by no means authoritive, and not in any
particular order. You are advised to read the entire list if you are
going to use it.
(1) Remove the references to lib and include in
/usr/src/Makefile. They need to be made before
the programs, so either put them at the start or
remove them.
(2) Edit /usr/share/mk/*.mk so that install does
a install -c instead of an install without a
-c. You will find re-compiles a whole lot quicker :)
(3) Do not re-compile libg++, g++, gcc, gas, gdb or
groff. (1) Its a waste of time, and (2) they come
up with errors when you compile them. (e.g. try
(cd lib/libg++ ; make depend ; make ; make install)
to see what I mean).
(4) Similarly, dont compile tn3270. It has bugs in
the makefiles that I dont want to fiddle with,
and there are no patches to it (yet.)
(5) When doing a 'make depend', keep it in the
foreground, since when it comes to 'expr', you
have to press ctrl-D to get it to continue.
(6) BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, type the following line :-
mkdir -p `find /usr/src -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{print $10}'`
This makes all the obj directories that are missing.
(7) You need to link /usr/include/vm to /sys/vm in order
to compile ktrace (and possibly a couple of others).
(8) I also moved all manual pages to /usr/share/man/man*
and removed the manual page creation stuff from the
/usr/share/mk/* files. You can then use catman (grabbed
from one of the /usr/othersrc/public catman files and
slightly modified) to create the cat* files if you so
desire. If you are short on space, this might be a good
idea.
(9) Dont forget to add in netstat and tset to the list
of subdirs in usr.bin/Makefile to get these made as
well (The sources are on agate in one of the unofficial
subdirectories).
(10) Dont forget to apply all the patches :)
(11) I got the message 'Program cc1 got fatal signal 6.'
when compiling awk, so I left that out as well. If
anyone has a fix for this, let me know, and I will
put it in.
(12) Make sure you have put in the DES code if you
want it in (/usr/386bsd.errata/crypt.instructions
explains how to get the crypt code into your library.
Remember you are going to be re-compiling it though!).
Once all these have been done, it is a case of typing :-
cd /usr/src
make depend (go get a pizza, preferably in
another coutry).
make (go get another pizza, preferably
on another continent).
make install (see make depend).
On my system, crond and crontab came up with lots of warnings. They
dont seem to have suffered as a consequence, so I guess you can
ignore them.
How rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk anonymous ftp is laid out.
I have put my entire source tree and share tree up for anonymous ftp.
In addition my current kernel (all drivers included and fully patched),
and configuration are in the top level directory. Anything that I have
installed for local use is kept in src/local (sources only).
If you think looking at any other files will be useful, please let me know.
A dist.fs and fixit.fs with fully patched kernels will appear sometime
in the very near future.
