I added it primarily to handle upgrades and cross-builds. Since it abstracts most of the (possible) hairy details and inter-dependencies of building a kernel by hand, I can understand that from a support point of view this is now actually the recommended way for regular users to build a kernel. > If it is now the way to build kernels, is there a brief explanation > of what it does differently than the old "cd to the compile > directory and type make" method? I haven't kept track of all the changes, so the best explanation is probably the makefile itself (/usr/src/Makefile.inc1). At this time I'll very likely misinform :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
