This file +was last revised on: $Id$ + +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. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on +the standard build targets and compile-time flags. + +Building a kernel with config(1) is a somewhat more involved process, +documentation for which can be found at: + http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html +And in the config(1) man page. + +The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not +just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference +than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it +wouldn't even run). + + +Source Roadmap: +--------------- +bin System/User commands. + +contrib Packages contributed by 3rd parties. + +eBones Kerberos package - NOT FOR EXPORT! + +etc Template files for /etc + +games Amusements. + +gnu Various commands and libraries under the GNU Public License. + Please see gnu/COPYING* for more information. + +include System include files. + +lib System libraries. + +libexec System daemons. + +lkm Loadable Kernel Modules. + +release Release building Makefile & associated tools. + +sbin System commands. + +secure DES and DES-related utilities - NOT FOR EXPORT! + +share Shared resources. + +sys Kernel sources. + +tools Utilities for regression testing and miscellaneous tasks. + +usr.bin User commands. + +usr.sbin System administration commands. + + +For information on synchronizing your source tree with one or more of +the FreeBSD Project's development branches, please see: + + http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html |
