Two different times I got this same error:

obj ===> regress/usr.bin/sort
do-tools ===> .
dependall ===> tools

*** Failed target:  dependall
*** Failed command: cd /home/reed/netbsd/src/tools/compat;

This above is after a successful completion of the following on a Linux
host:

 HOST_CXX=/usr/gcc3/bin/c++ HOST_CC=/usr/gcc3/bin/cc ./build.sh -D
~/netbsd/i386/build  -O ~/netbsd/i386/obj -T ~/netbsd/i386/tools -m i386
-U build

Then I did:

 HOST_CXX=/usr/gcc3/bin/c++ HOST_CC=/usr/gcc3/bin/cc ./build.sh -D
~/netbsd/i386/build  -O ~/netbsd/i386/obj -T ~/netbsd/i386/tools -m i386
-U -u distribution

and got the error above.


The other time I got same message is when I accidently stopped at hp700
"build" and then restarted it with the -u switch.

The -u worked for me a few times the past few days until I updated on
Friday.

Also, the BUILDING document is unclear. I used -U with "build" and now I
want to install my ready to use sets. It doesn't say I will need
privileges to do chown, etc.

     build         Build the entire NetBSD system.  This orders portions of
                   the source tree such that prerequisites will be built in
                   the proper order.

This doesn't say things will be installed in my "destdir" -- I see thet
are.

     distribution  Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution
                   into DESTDIR, including files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc,
                   DESTDIR/root and DESTDIR/var.

This doesn't say if things will conflict with the files already in my
destdir (created by "build"). And it doesn't mention if a kernel or
kernels will be built or installed. It does say "full distribution". This
makes me think (if running on a NetBSD/i386 current host) I could chroot
into my destdir of a i386 build and use it.

Please carbon-copy me on replies. Thank you.
