cant make buildkernel

2000-09-05 Thread Gary Smith

I have been tracking stable for a while without incident but since the last 2
weeks, after a cvsup and a make buildworld, make buildkernel fails with " make:
dont know how to make /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c.  Stop "

Any ideas as to why this happens ? my last cvsup was yesterday.

The softupdates code was merged with current (the licence issues were
resolved I guess), so when you cvsupped the system copied the updated
ffs_softdep.c on your existing symlink, then deleted the target the
symlink pointed to, leaving you with a dangling symlink.  

Delete those symlinks (ffs_softdep.c and softdep.h IIRC) and try
cvsupping again.

Thanks, I think that should work
