undocumented HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD variable and set it. Note it here so the blow up will not really be a surprise to people who read. Link the buildingworld chapter of our handbook in the README while I'm here.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file
|

was last revised on:

|
|
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
|
|
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
|
|
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
|
|
more information).
|
|
|
|
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
|
|
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
|
|
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
|
|
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
|
|
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world''
|
|
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
|
|
changed from the currently running version. See:
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
|
|
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
|
|
|
|
The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
|
|
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
|
|
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
|
|
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
|
|
|
|
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
|
|
for which can be found at:
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
|
|
And in the config(8) man page.
|
|
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
|
|
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
|
|
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
|
|
|
|
The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
|
|
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
|
|
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
|
|
kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
|
|
devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient
|
|
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
|
|
pure reference and documentation file.
