Hi everybody,
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I was just installing my 3.9 release from the CDs Wim sent me (Thanks
Wim!!) and right now I'm in the process of applying the errata
patches. I have spent the last three hours reading the online
documentation from the website when I stumbled across something I
cannot explain as I read the instructions for the second errata
(ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.9/common/002_xorg.patch).
It reads:
Apply by doing:
cd /usr/src/XF4
patch -p0 < 002_xorg.patch
And then rebuild and install X:
make build
This conflicts with what I did according to http://www.openbsd.org/
anoncvs.html:
To extract the source tree from the CD to /usr/src (assuming the CD
is mounted on /mnt):
# cd /usr/src; tar xzf /mnt/src.tar.gz
# cd /usr; tar xzf /mnt/XF4.tar.gz
# tar xzf /mnt/ports.tar.gz
I unpacked XF4.tar.gz in /usr like the web page suggests, but the
patch assumes the XF4 sources are located in /usr/src. So I have no /
usr/src/XF4 directory.
I assume the patch instructions are correct and the web page is
wrong? I just moved the XF4 directory into /usr/src and applied the
instructions from the patch. It compiled for some time and just as
I'm writing this it aborted with multiple error code 1 messages in
the Makefile. I guess I misunderstood something here.
Can anybody help me out please? I'm a little confused about this.
Thanks.
kind regards,
Tobias W.
