Hello,
I performed the following to prepare a release packet in usr/src
# ./build.sh -m evbmips -a mipsel -d -D /usr/build -R /usr/release -O
/usr/objects -T /usr/tooldir
At some stage I got an error on 'checklist' module. I found-out the cause
of error with some entries missing in
/usr/src/distrib/sets/lists/comp/md.evbmips. I had not included a _new_
header file entry which was updated in the Makefile of
/usr/src/sys/arch/evbmips/include/Makefile.
At this stage I had the toolchain and the build directory completed with
the required tool-chain and binaries. No since I didn't know how to
create release after this, I started the above procedure once again which
took more than 1 hour.
There must be some command to just create the release folder after
updating some files in /usr/src/distrib/sets/lists/comp/md.evbmips. Could
someone please help me out.
As I have understood by reading some papers on "build.sh" framework, it
first creates the required toolchain, then compiles the NetBSD system for
the intended target and then creates a release directory. Can some-one
please tell me the command to just create a release directory based on
the above mentioned directories used.
Thanks anyways.
