Description Oliver Lehmann 2002-05-25 12:00:06 UTC
        I just removed everything which lies under /usr/obj. Then i ran the
        following commands in /usr/src
make clean
make cleandepend
find ./ -name "*.o" |xargs rm
        (make world is creating object files under /usr/src. These fact prohibits
         using the same repository on another architecture.)
        Now i ran make buildworld und it stops at:

cc -O -pipe      -static -o yacc closure.o error.o lalr.o lr0.o main.o mkpar.o o
utput.o reader.o skeleton.o symtab.o verbose.o warshall.o
sh /usr/src/tools/install.sh -c -o root  -g wheel -m 555   yyfix.sh  /usr/obj/i3
86/usr/bin/yyfix
install: /usr/obj/i386/usr/bin/yyfix: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/yacc.

        There are no directories created before install.sh is called. Thats why
        install is predicted to fail.

Fix: Fix the Makefiles

        i created a patch, but it does not work for all cases.

it works for:
 install sourcefile1 sourcefile2 sourcefilen directory
 install sourcefile directory/
 install sourcefile targetfile

but it dows not work for e.g.:
 sh /usr/src/tools/install.sh -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   size /usr/obj/i386/usr/libexec/elf

because, install.sh take the "targt-directory" (/usr/obj/i386/usr/libexec/elf)
as a "target file" (there is no / at the end of the directory).

How-To-Repeat:         just remove /usr/obj/* and run make buildworld in /usr/src

I think you've screwed something on your side.  What does the following command
tell you?

cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 -V WORLDTMP -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX

It should show you something like this:

/usr/obj/usr/src/i386
/usr/obj

Doh, we badly need to put this into a FAQ:

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is an environment variable, and only works right
if set as an environment variable.  It's documented in make(1) as
an environment variable, it's not listed in make.conf(5), and it's
warned about in bsd.obj.mk.

I have a patch that allows for MAKEOBJDIR[PREFIX] to be used as a
command line variable, but still no joy for setting it in /etc/make.conf.

The reasoning behind this is that make(1) uses these variables
internally, to chdir(2) into the object directory, and this happens
before it has a chance to even read /etc/make.conf.

I will close this PR.

From-To: open->closed

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Specifies somewhere other than /usr/obj to root the object 
tree.  Note: MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is an *enviroment* variable 
and works properly only if set as an enviroment variable, 
not as a global or command line variable! 

E.g. use `env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/somewhere/obj make'
