I don't know about the original poster, but what you're probably seeing is that 'make World' will do an initial 'make clean' to clean out from a previous build if the top level "xmakefile" file exists. If you interrupt after a partial 'make World', then removing the top level file "xmakefile" will prevent the initial 'make clean' when doing a subsequent 'make World'. >Try "make Makefiles". > >I don't know why the tarballs should be in this state; I'd call it a bug. They're not. I've tested running 'make World' from cleanly extracted tarballs from the XFree86 ftp site, and it completes without any problems.
