dear all, after trying to get along on my own for a while, i finally go so disapointed and unsatisfied and decided that i need help. i always ran into the same problem, so there must be something wrong about my procedure how i build kernel AND userland.
i got the final release of openbsd 3.7 on may 21 by ftp. burned it on a cd and made a fresh installation. after the system was up an running, i got ports and sources via cvs by doing the follwing : # cd /usr # cvs -q get -rOPENBSD_3_7 -P src and # cd /usr # cvs -q get -rOPENBSD_3_7 -P ports then i made a custom kernel by copying the GENERIC conf file to a file named myGENERIC and did a bit customizing. to build the kernel i followed the steps described on the official openbsd.org site (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html) # cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf # config myGENERIC # cd ../compile/myGENERIC # make clean && make depend && make instead of "make install" i first made a backup of the existing kernel (# cp /bsd /bsd.old) and then copied the new one over the existing (# cp bsd /bsd) after a reboot, i checked dmesg and everything "seemd" to work perfectly. then, i went through the steps of building the userland. # rm -rf /usr/obj/* # cd /usr/src # make obj # cd /usr/src/etc && env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs # cd /usr/src # make build and that's the point where it ALWAYS stops with exactly the same error message!! i tried it with openbsd version 3.5, version 3.6 and version 3.7. i always run into the same error :-( <OUTPUT> cc -fstack-protector -DPTHREAD_KERNEL -D_POSIX_THREADS -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-compare -I/usr/src/lib/libpthread/uthread -I/usr/src/lib/libpthread/include -I/usr/src/lib/libpthread/../libc/include -D_LOCK_DEBUG -D_PTHREADS_INVARIANTS -I/usr/src/lib/libpthread/arch/i386 -c /usr/src/lib/libpthread/arch/i386/_atomic_lock.c -o _atomic_lock.o /usr/src/lib/libpthread/arch/i386/_atomic_lock.c: In function `_atomic_lock': /usr/src/lib/libpthread/arch/i386/_atomic_lock.c:22: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libpthread. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src (line 72 of Makefile). [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src]$ </OUTPUT> can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong? is there a way to get the sytem back into a "clean" state without doing a fresh install? greetingz thomas
