Re: Building -CURRENT on -STABLE

Hi,

if someone is facing the same error, the build variable MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must 
be set within the environment and _not_ within the make context. I would also 
suggest that the source and object directories are on the same partition. 

My sources where located in my home directory and the object directory on a 
separate zfs pool, but using symlinks to fake the directory structure 
wasn't successful. With the following steps I was able to build on the fast
machine, and install via nfs on the client.

On the build machine:
# mkdir -p /boiler/nfs/{src,obj}
# export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/boiler/nfs/obj
# cd /boiler/nfs/src && git pull
# make -s -j 4 buildworld buildkernel > /boiler/nfs/logs/build.log 2>&1

On the target machine (assuming server:/boiler/nfs is mounted on /boiler/nfs at the client)
# env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/boiler/nfs/obj make installkernel
# env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/boiler/nfs/obj make installworld
# mergemaster -Ui -m /boiler/nfs/src/

Best,

Gordon
