| 11 | The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for | |
| 12 | building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most | |
| 13 | commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs | |
| 14 | everything in the FreeBSD 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/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 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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not | |
| 33 | just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference | |
| 34 | than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it | |
| 35 | wouldn't even run). | |
