I find it useful for cross builds, but cd ~/work/p4/foo/<arch>/compile/BLAH ; make is significantly shorter than make buildkernel NO_KERNELCLEAN=yes NO_KERNELDEPEND=yes NO_KERNELCONFIG=yes KERNSRCDIR=/home/john/work/p4/foo KERNCONF=BLAH It's also much faster, especially when building LINT and fixing typos and syntax errors after a tree-wide sweep due to an API change. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Mon Mar 28 2005 - 18:18:54 UTC
