I had a hoard of problems upgrading a 3.0-current a.out system circa ~12/7/98 to RELENG_3. After CVSuping, running make aout-to-elf-build would complain about OBJFORMAT previously being set in /etc/make.conf (which I don't think it was) and suggested I override it.
Setting OBJFORMAT to elf, the aout-to-elf would fail unable to find make. Setting OBJFORMAT to aout, cause a nasty warning about a.out not being supported. I tried a few combinations and could not get aout-to-elf to build. However, I was around this by: setenv OBJFORMAT aout setenv REALLY_WANT_DEPRECIATED_AOUT 1 make buildworld mergemaster make installworld reboot make upgrade Kurt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
