The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for |
11 |
|
|
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most |
12 |
|
|
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs |
13 |
|
|
everything in the FreeBSD 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 |
|
|
|

|
|
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 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. |
