But not doing it makes the installed version rather useless on mips and powerpc, doesn't it? I mean, not having the links to the platform directory when headers in the machine directory depend on it? Or am I missing the purpose of the installed bsd.kmod.mk? > > The same happens in config(8) where we create a platform link > > in all cases, not just for powerpc and mips. > > See the comment for kmod.mk.

I don't like it, but won't actually wake up every morning and go look for it in an attempt to make my SM life more enjoyable :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
