Um, are you sure?  Do you have some left-over /usr/X11R6 directories?
When did it start doing this?

	Hrrmmm... maybe that's the problem. I had installed X, then realized it
was the 3.3.3.1 version still and cd 'cd /usr/X11R6 && rm -r *'. I'll try
again with no X directory at all. 

Sorry for the confusion,

Doug

This one's bitten me before. Can you confirm that it was pilot error and 
not some other problem?

	I don't see how it could be pilot error to have an empty
/usr/X11R6 directory. :) In any case, a quick look at the Makefile for
doscmd shows this:

.if exists(${X11BASE}/include/X11/X.h) && exists(${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a)
CFLAGS+= -I. -I${X11BASE}/include -DDISASSEMBLER
LDADD= -L${XLIBDIR} -lX11
DPADD= ${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a
.else
CFLAGS+= -I. -DDISASSEMBLER -DNO_X
.endif

When it failed for me the error was directly related to lX11, so I'd say
that this is a genuine bug given that I didn't have either one of those
files (although I did have an empty /usr/X11R6 directory) and yet make
tried to link against libX11 anyway. 

	I vaguely remember having some odd problems with the .if exists
test a while back when I was working on a port, but I'm far from a make
expert, so I couldn't really say where to look for this.

I'll create an empty /usr/X11R6 before my next buildworld and see what
happens. It'll have to wait 'til then unless you can provide error
output.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

I'll be looking into this soon if Doug doesn't provide feedback.

Okay, I've tried this with an empty /usr/X11R6 and the build behaves as
expected, in that everything is compiled with -DNO_X . I'm out of ideas,
unless you can send the exact error message(s) you got?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

 2# cd /usr
 3# mv X11R6 X11R6-real
 4# mkdir X11R6
 5# cd src/usr.bin/doscmd
 6# make
make: don't know how to make /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h. Stop

	That's with -current cvsup'ed about 2 hours ago. When I ran into this
problem during the world build originally I got the same error message,
this is just the fastest way to reproduce it.

Hi Doug,

Okay, I seem to have the same .mk files as you do. I've just blown away
obj, cleaned out crufty objects from my source tree and am conducting a
buildworld, in the hopes that it'll trigger the problem you see.

If I can't see it, you'll probably want to ask in a public forum whether
anyone else sees this.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to let you know that the
buildworld went through without a hickup.

Let me know if you find out what's causing your problem.

Later,
Sheldon.

I can't duplicate this with CURRENT, nor with STABLE, so I'm closing 
this until more evidence is uncovered. :-(
