Subj: Need more help with build install
Hi,
I'm trying to do build install operations for my current testing work on a
GOLD BL10 system.
Several places in the Makefile there are tar operations of the form
tar -cf - ${SYMBOLIC_NAME} | (cd ${TOSTAGE}/usr/sys; tar xpf - )
I understand what it's supposed to do. Apparently, tar on BL10 doesn't though
because it ignores the pipe operation and sends everything to the bloody
terminal!
I have tried using the tar from BL9 which was saved when Jan upgraded the
machine I'm using for this testing. It is even *worse* because it treats
the tar -cf - as if it were expecting *input* from the terminal!
So, whadda ya do to build on a GOLD system?
Thanks
John

In a workon? With make -ckEF install ? There were some problems where the Gold make was dumping what would normally go to stdout to stderr. You might try that tar pipe on a test directory somewhere to see if it acts the same outside the Makefile. John | |||||
