Also including KERNCONF=<your kernel> in the make command line will build your custom kernel.

So, if you build and install from the same source those files will allways be in sync. However, I think the /usr/include files get installed with the userland, so updating the kernel only will not update /usr/include and *will* cause problems if the kernel and userland sources are sufficiently out of sync. What makes you think the problem was caused by the include files not being in sync? cheers, mike makonnen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
