Building XFree86 3.3.6 in -current



As part of rebuilding my system today, I rebuilt X11 as well to incorporate
the latest drivers.  The install portion fails at the last(?) command in
the install sequence.

# cd /usr/src/X11
# make build
...
cd distrib/notes; make install
install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 README.i386  /usr/X11R6/README
/usr/libexec/makewhatis `/bin/pwd`/dest/usr/X11R6/man
makewhatis: /usr/src/X11/dest/usr/X11R6/man: not a directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/X11.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/X11.


The relevant lines from /usr/src/X11/Makefile:

install: install-xc install-contrib install-linkkit install-distrib
        /usr/libexec/makewhatis ${DESTDIR}/usr/X11R6/man

Since distrib/notes was installed (sucessfully), all the prereqs for
install have been met.  The makewhatis line doesn't look correct with
the ${DESTDIR} /and/ /usr/X11R6/... there.  Same for a few other
lines in the Makefile (see the install-xc target).

Has anyone else experienced this?  Should I have set DESTDIR prior to
starting the build?  I'm looking for a sanity check here. :)

(Yes I've run the makewhatis manually without problems)
