hi adrian and everyone else
i have been trying to compile adrians latest build package from cvs
this is the first time i have compiled packages from cvs so i could be
doing something wrong
i followed the instructions in the INSTALL file
then i did gmake autoloads in packzges/xemacs-packages
i then tried gmake bindist in packzges/xemacs-packages/build
it seemed to be going fine then i got an error
this seems to be the command it fell over on

gmake: *** [binkit-common] Error 64
[rendhalverï¼ ulthwe build]$
i am running XEmacs 21.4.9RC1 on FreeBSD 4.6
i assume there is some weird difference between the linux and FreeBSD cp command's
note i had to use gmake to even get this far the std FreeBSD make
didnt work at all
if you need more info please let me know
