That said, i think it may be time to bow to the pressure, and just put a
fixup for this issue in kmod.mk, and the other .mk files, like I
initially did in r232473, but with a BIG FAT WARNING printed, so you at
least know you are attempting to shoot your extremities. :)
No, I wouldn't want that.
It's just that I thought the ports system
never uses anything from /usr/src.
Well, only the ports that build kernel modules need it, as far as I
know. This is because in FreeBSD we do not install the 'full' kernel
headers anywhere during installworld.
Maybe we could adopt the Linux solution and dump them somewhere in a
versioned directory. :)
Perhaps the ports which do use /sys should
print a warning to the user. Something like
"before building this port, make sure your
installed world version matches the version
of your FreeBSD sources."
By the way, what would happen if I try
to build those ports with no /sys at all?
It would hopefully error out. If you look in /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk,
you will see this at the bottom:
.if !defined(SYSDIR) || !exists(${SYSDIR}/kern/) || \
!exists(${SYSDIR}/conf/kmod.mk)
.error Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
.endif
So, setting SYSDIR to the correct directory is also a possible solution.
