hi,
i have a machine that i use for building freebsd for a bunch of other
machines. in my old setup, all worked well, but now i am experiencing a few
problems which seem related to symlinking and mount points.
in the old setup /usr/src & /usr/obj were just your typical partitions on a
single disk, as in:
/dev/da0s1g /usr/src
/dev/da0s1h /usr/obj
in the new setup /usr/src & /usr/obj are on the same partition, symlinked as
follows:
/dev/ccd0c /array
/usr/src --> /array/src
/usr/obj --> /array/obj
on this machine, make buildworld works fine. installworld works just as well.
however, when i go to do a make installworld on a client (having mounted
/usr/src & /usr/obj via NFS) it dies right here:
echo \#'define __FreeBSD_version' $RELDATE >> osreldate.h; echo "#endif" >> osreldate.h
touch: not found
*** Error code 127
Stop in /usr/src/include.
*** Error code 1
now if i do the following:
% ln -s /usr/obj/array /usr/obj/usr
then run make installworld again, all is well until it gets to:
ln -s /usr/src/lib/libncurses/../../contrib/ncurses/man/curs_addch.3x curs_addch.3
ln: curs_addch.3: File exists
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/lib/libncurses.
*** Error code 1
after searching on google for that error, it turns up that i can use the -k
flag with make. if i then run make -k installworld it spits up many errors
(all related to ncurses) but completes the install.
ideally i would like to have this machine build -stable & -release as we have
client machines of different needs, so i envisioned having a nice ccd raid-0
of disks to hold the builds.
any ideas? thanks.
