6 The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
7 building components (or all) of the DragonFly source tree, the most
8 commonly used being ``buildworld'' and ``installworld'', which rebuild
9 and install everything in the DragonFly system from the source tree
10 except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The
11 ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
12 the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
13 the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
14 standard build targets and compile-time flags.
16 Building a kernel is a somewhat involved process. Documentation
17 for it can be found at:
18 http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/
19 Also see the build(7) and config(8) man pages.
21 Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
22 ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
23 world before. More information is available in the DragonFly handbook.
25 The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/config
26 sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
27 file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
28 kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
29 just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
30 than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
