below are the problems that i see when building and installing /usr/src.
i've run into these, because i tend to do big makes, and make installs
via NFS, with /usr/src mounted ro, and /usr/obj mounted rw.
you should be able to do installs this way with no problems...
because of some of the below (particularly, those which don't put
binaries in /usr/obj) you can't...
tn3270 always relinks, even if constituent objs/libs doesn't change.
(not had time to look into it -- obviously a makefile problem)
rm -r /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/obj
ln -s /usr/obj/libexec/ftpd /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/obj
rm -r /usr/src/libexec/telnetd/obj
ln -s /usr/obj/libexec/telnetd /usr/src/libexec/telnetd/obj
(both had obj _dirs_ rather than links, but dirs in /usr/obj existed)
mkdir /usr/obj/sbin/netstat
ln -s /usr/obj/sbin/netstat obj
(netstat had no obj dir or link
rm -r /usr/src/usr.bin/elvis/obj
mkdir /usr/obj/usr.bin/elvis
ln -s /usr/obj/usr.bin/elvis /usr/src/usr.bin/elvis/obj
(elvis had an object link, to a dir which:
(1) wasn't present in srcdist,
(2) wasn't in a good place anyway. (was to .../contrib/...)
)
RCS binaries are made in rcs source dir
(rcs makefile is old-style, and therefore RCS should probably
not be in the standard build tree.)
(they've of course been dropped in jordan's box... 8-)
