Problems while trying to update DFBSD

make buildworld gives following error:

make: no system rules (sys.mk).
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/src.

For testing, I copied sys.mk to /usr/src, then make misses another file 
from /usr/share/mk/.
The permissions seem to be ok, 755, owner is root and group is wheel.
And I'm building with root.

Hi list,

I've got a probelm with the paths while doing make buildworld.
I can't run make buildworld, I have to run make -m /usr/sahre/mk/ 
buildworld, so make can find the files sys.mk  ...


What error messages you get if you do 'make buildworld'?  The
make program has /usr/share/mk hard-coded as the place to look
for sys.mk, so it should 'just work' unless maybe the permissions
are set wrong -- are you building as root or as a user?
