kernel build: make does nothing

1999-09-02 Thread Sheldon Hearn
Hi folks, It's been a while since I've built a kernel on a stable box and I'm having trouble, almost certainly due to some silliness on my part. I do this: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf config -gr GDB cd ../../compilg/GDB make depend This produces the expected results and I end up with a .depend
