>Description:
Installing world with /usr/src and /usr/obj mounted via NFS to a 'real'
machine now fails as below. Somehow the install bits in sys/i386/loader
have become dependent on the absolute build directory. It used to be
ok to 'make build' on a 'thoroughbred' system and then 'make install'
on weaker systems by mounting /usr/src/ and /usr/obj, at least it was under
4.1. Note the error below: the /u3 device only exists on the
'thoroughbred' system mounted via NFS. This occured during 'make installworld'
(make installkernel worked fine)
===> sys/boot/i386/libi386 (install)
===> sys/boot/i386/loader (install)
make: don't know how to make /u3/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../ficl/libficl.a. Stop
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sys.
*** Error code 1
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS on a "weak" machine and try to
'make installworld' onto it. It'll fail as above
>Fix:
Workaround, not a fix: Create phony mount points on the system being
upgraded so it mimics physical disk layout of the 'build' machine. Help!!!
