I beg your pardon, but "makeoptions" is just next to editing makefiles in /sys/modules. My dream was that specifying, e.g., "options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE" would result in building ipfw.ko inherently chatty :-) BTW, Ruslan, let me ask you another question, as you've been recently working at kern.mk files. Is it on purpose that the target "kernel-cleandir" doesn't invoke "kernel-cleandepend"? I've been sure that by common practice "cleandir" should remove dependency files... -- Yar To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
