The corect command is 'make upgrade'.

Whenever I've rebuilt the world, I've always used "make world" and not "make upgrade". State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed State-Changed-By: hoek State-Changed-When: Sun Jun 20 05:49:41 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: "make upgrade" is for aout-to-elf switch. "make world" is the correct command for general upgrades. world will (should) warn you if you need to do a "make upgrade" explicitly. >Unformatted: >> I used cvsup to sync the tree as outlined in step 2, and then >> attempted a "make world" as directed in step 4. You will notice that >> "make upgrade" is not mentioned at all on this page. In fact, the >> handbook states, "You should at least run a ` make world' the first >> time through as part of the upgrading process." Perhaps the upgrade >> instructions need to be made more clear. Indeed. Why don't you file a PR, in the category "doc", so that this doesn't get lost? Bill
