building a kernel "the old way"

[Christian Groessler <chris%groessler.org@localhost>]

Hi,

with "old way" I mean not using build.sh.

I ran:

-------------------------
[muc-twinppc:/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/conf]$ config GENERIC
Build directory is ../compile/GENERIC
Don't forget to run "make depend"
[muc-twinppc:/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/conf]$ cd 
../compile/GENERIC/
[muc-twinppc:/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC]$ make
making sure the compat library is up to date...
make[1]: cannot open ../../../../../../compat/common/Makefile.

make[1]: stopped in 
/usr/obj/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC/lib/compat
*** Error code 2

Stop.
make: stopped in /local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC
[muc-twinppc:/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC]$ cat

find . -type d
.
[muc-twinppc:/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC]$
-------------------------


So source code isn't under /usr/src, but /local/netbsd-src/src due to 
tight space in the /usr partition.
Running "make depend" first doesn't help, it gives a similar message.

It says, "make[1]: stopped in 
/usr/obj/local/netbsd-src/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC/lib/compat", 
but there is no "lib/compat" directory there.

I'm using -current from around May-17.

Is building a kernel this way not supported anymore? I have to admit, I 
don't remember when I did it last time before, probably not for a few years.
