Subj: Re: How do I do a build install?
If you want to change ownership and permissions as well, you'll need to do a
workon as root which will require a .sandboxrc as well as EDITOR and PRINCIPAL
environment variables set for root. Otherwise you can just do this as yourself.
We'll assume csh here, adapt syntax for your shell.
setenv TOSTAGE path_to_top_of_install_tree
cd src/dir_of_choice
build install_all
or
build install_sometarget
Hope this helps.

You also need to be sure to use disklabel to apply bootblocks to the disk
and to ensure that osf_boot exists on the target disk.

Subj: Re: How do I do a build install?
First, you need to be root when you're in the workon for the install
phase to work correctly.
Next, you need to set aside a place to be the top of the install tree.
Perhaps /usr/install_tree [make sure that directory exists]
In your workon, you want to type [in this example at least]:
setenv TOSTAGE /usr/install_tree
and then:
build install_target
If you're testing a kernel install, things don't work the same. I have not
had much luck getting single parts of the kernel to install. The way the
build does it is the same as above in terms of setting up the install area
and the TOSTAGE variable, but when it goes to install, it does the
following:
cd kernel; make -ckEF install
Good luck!

John, one more tip which makes things easier. Since 'build' tries
to track down your sandbox rc_files, making a symbolic link
from /.sandboxrc to your own ~/.sandboxrc will make it so that
root's sandboxes will be the same as your own; otherwise you
need to add the ''-rc rcfile'' argument to the build; so do the
following on your system, as root:
# ln -s /usr/users/jdaddamio/.sandboxrc /
for example, then /.sandboxrc will allow root to always work as
if it were you.
