Also with bmake, you *can* usefully set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in a makefile since the choice of .OBJDIR can be made after make starts reading makefiles. So the current test is perhaps out dated on that score too - though only if something like auto.obj.mk is being used (-DWITH_AUTO_OBJ) which I don't think I've tested with buildworld. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
