This is straight from the FreeBSD handbook section 5.2. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL # make depend # make # make install Is this the information for which you are looking? If I am correct, make depend is done on almost all software (that requires make depend) prior to the performance of make. This is my limited experience.
