  <h3><strong>How OpenBSD Snapshots are built:</strong></h3>
  
  <p>
- Binary snapshots are supposed to be easy to use and install.  To ease
- their use, they are always statically linked.  Developers have built
- these distributions by doing
- 
- <pre>
- 	setenv LDSTATIC -static
- 	cd /usr/src
- 	make obj
- 	make build
- 	setenv DESTDIR /dir
- 	make snapshot
- </pre>
- 
- <p>
- If you find a snapshot that is dynamically linked, please inform
- deraadt@openbsd.org.
- </p>
- 
- <p>
  In each snapshot, all tar.gz files are rooted at /.  If you are a
  trusting kind of person you can use the following script.  However it
  is suggested that you not blindly install snapshots in this fashion.

  <p>
! The tar program you use must be GNU tar or some other newer
! posix-compliant version.  The tar files contain directory information
! in a new format, in particular dev.tar.gz contains all sorts of files
! that an older version of tar would break on.  Also, one should be able
! to use just about any version of pax instead.

- <h3><strong>But I want dynamic binaries!:</strong></h3>
- 
- <p>
- Real Releases, when they are made, will not be statically linked.
- </p>
- 
- <p>
- If you desire dynamic binaries on your machine, do the following:
- </p>
- 
- <pre>
- 	cd /usr/src
- 	make obj
- 	make build
- </pre>
- 
- <p>
- This will rebuild your machine's binaries in the normal way.  of
- course, before doing this later step of rebuilding all the binaries on
- your machine, realize that source code quality can vary from day to
- day -- on some days the make build might fail and you might run into
- nasty problems.
