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 sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/config
28 sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
29 file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
30 kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
31 just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
32 than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
