697.0. "backing obj files" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Apr 19 1994 14:09

Subj: 	backing obj files

How do you create a sandbox which uses the .o files from the backing tree?

I have tried -obj l /, -obj b / and -obj c /.  In all three cases when I
then tried to do a build FLAMINGO_vmunix fro src/kernel, it complained that
the obj area was missing.

Seems like mksb should do that, according to the man page, however this will
work:

mksb in the normal way.

workon and then:
mkdir ../obj/alpha/kernel; cd ../obj/alpha/kernel

If you have lots of space:
	mklinks -copy .

If you have lots of time, but less space:
	mklinks .
