Only a very brave soul would attempt to build FreeBSD on Ubuntu. What you want to do is to download a FreeBSD VM image and boot that on Ubuntu using KVM or VirtualBox. Then you can rebuild FreeBSD from source. If you want to do FreeBSD development, I would start with the latest 11.0 snapshot. First just install it and follow all the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook to get it configured as you like. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/11.0-CURRENT/amd64/20160518/ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ -Alan On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 9:15 PM, Kefeh Collins <kefehcollins@gmail.com> wrote: > good morning > please i have downloaded the freebsd source code but i cant find > any information on how to build it (in ubuntu 14.04) i will very much > appreciate any help > > thanks in advance > > On Sun, May 22, 2016 at 1:40 PM, Kefeh Collins <kefehcollins@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> hello >> i am a second year computer science student, program in c and c++ and am >> interested in contributing in operating system (kernel) directed projects >> please i need guidance >> >> thanks in advance >> > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
