20060818: You need flex in your $PATH, which has become part of the base system. This needs bigger binaries. If you don't have flex yet, you can compile it first by doing: # cp /usr/src/etc/binary_sizes* /etc # binsizes big # cd /usr/src/commands/flex-2.5.4 # sh build 20061222: Install binaries in the right order because the new readdir implementation and the new mount program are incompatible with older kernels and the new kernels require the new mount. # cd /usr/src # make includes # make libraries # make cmds # make depend # cd /usr/src/tools # make hdboot # make install # cd .. # make install Installing fails for boot. Reboot the system # reboot -x 'unset image; boot' Now install everything # cd /usr/src # make install 20061222: The archictecture-dependent/-independent split needs ARCH= in /etc/make.conf, included by some Makefiles and sourced by some shell scripts. To install it, type 'make install' in src/etc, or simply copy the file over. 20070118: drivers.conf has been updated to include an ACL for mfs. it has to be installed before rebooting after an update of the mount command. 20070212 (r2751): mkfs needs more memory to make an image; chmem it or do # touch mkfs.c ; make /usr/bin/mkfs in /usr/src/commands/simple.
