The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for |
12 |
building components (or all) of the MidnightBSD source tree, the most |
13 |
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs |
14 |
everything in the MidnightBSD system from the source tree except the |
15 |
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The |
16 |
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install |
17 |
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of |
18 |
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the |
19 |
standard build targets and compile-time flags. |
20 |
|
21 |
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation |
22 |
for which can be found at: |
23 |
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html |
24 |
And in the config(8) man page. |
25 |
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the |
26 |
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build |
27 |
world before. More information is available in the FreeBSD handbook. |
28 |
|
29 |
The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf |
30 |
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the |
31 |
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation |
32 |
kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible |
33 |
devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient |
34 |
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a |
35 |
pure reference and documentation file. |
