Hi,

The exact error I'm getting is:


nstall ===> host-mkdep
cp host-mkdep /usr/src/tools/obj.i386/tools.NetBSD-1.5ZA-i386/bin/nbhost-mkdep
cp: /usr/src/tools/obj.i386/tools.NetBSD-1.5ZA-i386/bin/nbhost-mkdep: No such 
file or directory

*** Error code 1

stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src/tools/host-mkdep
*** Error code 1

stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src/tools
*** Error code 1

stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src
*** Error code 1

stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src


I've tried to compile from source under NetBSD-1.53_ALPHA but that 
distribution is very messed up!  So, I installed NetBSD 1.52ZA version of 
snapshot and distribution works great.  So, I sup -s -v the sources and 
compiled the kernel and it booted fine.

Now the new kernel is boot and I'm trying to build NetBSD.  I tried these:

trial one)

#make build (failed)


trial two)
sh build.sh (failed!)

trial three)
sh build.sh -t (failed with error again!)

trial four)
make obj (success)
make build (failed!)

I've just freshly downloaded source today!
sup -s -v


P.S. Thank you for your input, especially, Mipam, Frederick and Andreas.

Any clues to why it won't build?  I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.


Yours sincerely,
Sung N. Cho,
