That would have been me. Thinking about it, it does make sense to go straight through the build doing as much as possible, and to only stop to ask for user intervention later. A warning at the end of `make World', along the lines of `errors building target foo', might have been useful, though. I just wasn't used to things working that way, as most packages I build from source have a ./configure script, that takes a fraction of the time to complete, and checks for all the likely problems, so that the full make process should succeed anyway. > make World WORLDOPTS= > make install install.man > > .. takes ~=20 minutes on a bad day, including untarring, and also > calculating dependancies, and tarring up final packaging. ;o) At 133MHz, it took my machine nearly 10 hours to do same. The slight improvement in performance was possibly worth it.
