Don't make these values persist in ~/.profile. I have made this mistake before, & it will wreck havoc in very subtle ways if present when building ports. DESTDIR & RELEASEDIR should only be set when building userland, & never elsewhere. Once userland is finished building, make sure these variables are no longer set. |
I believe that the DESTDIR and/or RELEASEDIR environment variables are the issue.
As a new step in my userland build process I now do this:
unset DESTDIR
unset RELEASEDIR
And I am now able to build userland without modifying any makefiles.
(I just built the kernel and userland from sources with a manual patch.)
This bug has caught others in the past as well:
http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archiv.../msg00346.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/misc@ope.../msg54292.html
And Amaud who created a work-around:

After searching Google, Amaud's fix worked for me.
But perhaps the 'unset DESTDIR' and 'unset RELEASEDIR' commands should be put into
the FAQ?
Or even better yet put into the userland 'make build' process itself?
