What I was saying is that a native build populates /usr/obj/, but a cross build populates /usr/obj//. It would be more consistent to always populate /usr/obj/, and fix make release. > If you fix > that, there is the same issue with ${OBJFORMAT_PATH}. Once you fix > that, you have shared lib problems. (I've never quite figured out what > ${INSTALLTMP} is even there for.) The fix would be to populate WORLDTMP, or otherwise make sure those binaries are in INSTALLTMP as well. The reason for INSTALLTMP is to avoid pulling the rug from under your feet when you have a single pass upgrade. We don't have that (yet?). We tell people to install a new kernel, reboot and then run installworld. A single pass upgrade would save enough programs and libraries to complete the upgrade and then do a reboot. Another problem is parallelism. You may run into the situation that you both install and run the same binary. This can cause breakages. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Well, the more direct reason for the breakage is caused by the fact that the PATH during install is, ${WORLDTMP}/usr/sbin:${WORLDTMP}/usr/bin:${WORLDTMP}/usr/games:${INSTALLTMP} Which is usually ${OBJTREE}${.CURDIR}/${MACHINE_ARCH}. But that directory doesn't exist. (Or is that what you are saying?) If you fix that, there is the same issue with ${OBJFORMAT_PATH}. Once you fix that, you have shared lib problems.

Running installworld on machine X, when you did a cross-build for machine X on machine Y is broken. All other cases should work, AFACT. The brokenness is directly caused by inconsistent setting of OBJTREE. This is indirectly caused make release, for make release expects the object tree to be under /usr/obj and not /usr/obj/${TARGET_ARCH}. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Installing Cross Builds
After reviewing the world Makefiles, it sure looks like FreeBSD does not support 'installworld' of a cross build? There are some steps in the installworld which half-heartedly seem to try to support something along those lines, but don't really even come close. Am I correct that installworld doesn't work for cross builds? If not, I need to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. If I am right, I guess that means not too many people are interested in such a feature? -- Crist J.
