Solved FreeBSD 10 to 11 (or 12) buildkernel fail

[gustopn]

Source buildkernel fails on FreeBSD 10 when trying to upgrade to 11-stable, 12-current, or 11.1-releng

 

[abishai]

Probably you try to build it with outdated toolchain.

 

[gustopn]

Yes, that might be the case. Any suggestions how to work around it?

 

[rigoletto@]

Try to update to 10.4 or other previous (than 10.4) 10.x release.

Also, how about your memory usage/total?

 

[gustopn]

I had it on 10.4 so, that should not be the problem, also RAM usage should not be the problem, I also was building that on a machine with 32 GB RAM, that's all more than sufficient.
I would rather look into the toolchain. At the moment I am trying to build world first and then the kernel, to see if that improves something.

 

[gustopn]

OK, the buildworld first seems to have helped, maybe it was responsible for building a new toolchain.
I now successfully booted into 12-current, I hope it will not get unstable.

 

[rigoletto@]

You might buildworld first (unless you are bulding the same kernel version for the second or so time), and then kernel, see Handbook.
