12 The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
13 building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7)
14 and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
15 for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
17 The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
18 the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
19 the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
20 standard build targets and compile-time flags.
22 Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8),
23 and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
26 Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
27 `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
28 world before. More information is available in the handbook.
30 The kernel configuration files reside in the `sys/<arch>/conf`
31 sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
