Gmake is not the same as make under FreeBSD and there are a few things in the Makefiles such as clean that don't work right.

Every so often I clean out the /usr/gr/... directory structure and run a script which re-builds everything. Thus it should be clean except for the non-gnuradio parts which were installed as root. Naturally, when I tried to duplicate this, it ran Ok. Grrrr.

Unfortunately, much of this is new to me. And being retired, sometimes I have to choose between new toys and food. :) -- LRK [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
