8 The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
9 building components (or all) of the DragonFly source tree, the most
10 commonly used being ``buildworld'' and ``installworld'', which rebuild
11 and install everything in the DragonFly system from the source tree
12 except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The
13 ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
14 the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
15 the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
16 standard build targets and compile-time flags.
18 Building a kernel is a somewhat involved process. Documentation
19 for it can be found at:
20 http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/
21 Also see the build(7) and config(8) man pages.
23 Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
24 ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
25 world before. More information is available in the DragonFly handbook.
27 The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/config sub-directory.
28 The X86_64_GENERIC is the default x86_64 kernel configuration used in
29 release builds. The VKERNEL64 is the default 64 bit vkernel(7) kernel
30 configuration file. The file LINT64 contains entries for all possible
31 devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general
32 reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built
33 from it wouldn't even run). Also see the config(8) man page.
