I'm having trouble trying to build my own NetBSD Live CD on 1.6.1. I
suspect the problem is in the base toolchain, or rather, in my (and
NetBSD Live's builddist script's) use of it.
The problem is in trying to do a 'make' in /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies
-- it can't find nbcrunchgen, nbmkdep, nbmsgc, and more. I (and the
script) previously did a 'make' in /usr/src/tools, but that didn't
create nb* in /usr/src/tools/tools.NetBSD-1.6.1_STABLE-i386/bin
as the 'floppies' directory assumes will happen. I created symlinks
from nbcrunchgen to ../../crunchgen/crunchgen, etc., but it eventually
complained that msg_sys.def wasn't there. I assume I'm missing a step.
The relevant lines from mk.conf are
BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
BSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
MKOBJDIRS=yes
though /usr/obj doesn't seem to be used by what I did.
