The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for |
| 11 |
building components (or all) of the MidnightBSD source tree, the most |
| 12 |
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs |
| 13 |
everything in the MidnightBSD system from the source tree except the |
| 14 |
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The |
| 15 |
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install |
| 16 |
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of |
| 17 |
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the |
| 18 |
standard build targets and compile-time flags. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation |
| 21 |
for which can be found at: |
| 22 |
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html |
| 23 |
And in the config(8) man page. |
| 24 |
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the |
| 25 |
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build |
| 26 |
world before. More information is available in the FreeBSD handbook. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf |
| 29 |
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the |
| 30 |
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation |
| 31 |
kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible |
| 32 |
devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient |
| 33 |
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a |
| 34 |
pure reference and documentation file. |
