A generic NOTES file (in /usr/src/sys/conf) is combined with a platform-specific NOTES file (in /usr/src/sys/platform/conf, where platform is i386, amd64, pc98, etc) to create the LINT file. $ cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf $ make LINT cat ../../conf/NOTES NOTES | sed -E -n -f ../../conf/makeLINT.sed LINT Regards, -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
IPFW in-kernel NAT: How to compile?
All: I'm building a machine using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, and noticed that there was now a kernel configuration option to enable in-kernel NAT in IPFW. So, starting with a pristine system, I tried to rebuild the kernel with this feature as I trimmed out the unneeded device drivers. But the build failed -- and the error messages suggest that the problem had to do with linking libalias into the kernel. libalias seems to be there, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Ideas? --Brett Glass ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

LINT was removed back in 2000 and replaced with NOTES, since that better describes what it's really used for.
