Hi there,
I'm trying to build a snapshot of -current for macppc. I've never built
the whole release before (only kernels), and I'm running into a problem.
I've set up the environment variables for BSDSRCDIR, BSDOBJDIR, DESTDIR,
and RELEASEDIR. I've run 'make obj', which completes without errors (but
all it seems to do is create directories in $BSDOBJDIR). When I run 'make
release', it gripes at me, because it can't write to the nonexistant
directory structure in $RELEASEDIR.
What do I have to do to get it to make the directories (e.g.
$RELEASEDIR/usr/share)? I *really* don't want to have to make them all by
hand.
Of course, what I'd prefer is if someone else were to upload a recent
snapshot to ftp.netbsd.org, since I've got one of the slowest PowerPC
systems we support (150 MHz).
Thanks,
-- MW
