> Modified: share/doc/FAQ freebsd-faq.sgml > Log: > Change the "make all" into "make depend all" in 6.0.6 (section on kernel > building). > > Submitted by: Rodney Grimes This should be "make clean && make depend && make. The `make clean' step can often be omitted (...) and in any case should be run before `config -n', not immediately after. The `make depend' step can be omitted except when the kernel has already been built and some source file has changed since `depend' was last made". "make depend all" is often wrong and is certainly wrong for a kernel immediately after it has been config'ed. `make' doesn't rescan the dependencies after the `make depend' step, so "make depend all" is more or less equivalent to "make all; make depend". "all" is noise except when other targets are specifed. Bruce
