7 sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
8 more information).

10 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.
