Stale files in /usr/lib

1999-01-25 Thread Sheldon Hearn 

Hi folks,

The following files are not being created by installworld:

/usr/lib/crt0.o
/usr/lib/c++rt0.o
/usr/lib/gcrt0.o
/usr/lib/scrt0.o
/usr/lib/sgcrt0.o
/usr/lib/kztail.o
/usr/lib/kzhead.o

Am I correct in assuming they're stale and can be removed?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Yes, they all reside in /usr/lib/aout now.

So then for a machine that makes world with -DNOAUT they don't exist,
assuming all ports have been rebuilt for an ELF world, yes?

I don't know -- I've never used -DNOAOUT. :-)  Somebody else will
have to answer that one.

Note, without those files you'll never again be able to link an a.out
program on the machine.  Are you sure you really want that limitation?

As I understand it, the only times this hurts me are:

1) When I want to build binaries for another (a.out-only) box.

2) When I want to use dynamically-linked a.out binaries that were
   compiled elsewhere on this box.

Unless I'm missing something, I'm happy with that. Thanks for the
feedback, I'll wait for someone else to answer on the other issue.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

I did make buildworld with -DNOAOUT on -stable and it went fine. I did
make installworld and it croaked because it couldn't find the
afforementioned files.

Now I know what is up!

The answer to your question is: those files don't exist on a -DNOAOUT
build as evidence by the error message I recieved. :)

Well, their absence certainly doesn't blow up installworld on a -current
machine.

You need to make installworld with -DNOAOUT too.  Otherwise it _will_ look
for a.out stuff to install.

 Now I know what is up!
