Jose Borquez sat at his 'puter and typed on 11/23/2005 12:50: > I made a standard install of FreeBSD 5.4 with Kern-Developer Full binaries and doc, kernel source only. I attempted to compile a custom kernel running: > make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM Then I get the following error: make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop > I run it from the /usr/src/ directory. The /usr/src/ directory is empty. Does that mean the source files were not installed? > Exactly. The kernel sources had not been installed. Read the chapter on building a custom kernel in the handbook. make sure you cvsup properly before you attempt to go for the compile.
