Hi,
I want to know how to build Free BSD source. I saw Free BSD handbook
which says that couple of "make" commands will do the job. But, when
I tried to build Free BSD 4.4 Lite 2 source, it gave lot of problems.
Somehow, I could satisfy the compiler by fixing all the defects. But,
the system is not coming up ;-(
My questions are:
1. What is the procedure I need to follow for building a Free BSD kernel
source so that I can boot with my kernel ?
2. I am having Free BSD 4.4 Lite 2 soure. Is it possible to build this
source (kernel source) to have a customized kernel ?
3. Also, if I want to change only a specific driver (say SCSI tape driver),
is it possible to build only that particular driver (without building
the complete kernel source) and create a ".o" (equivalent to Driver.o
on SVR4 or compatible systems) and integrate it with the kernel ?
I am new to Free BSD (from SVR4 Unix platforms) and looked for
/etc/conf/pack.d directory structure on my Free BSD system. Oops !
I could not find one such directory.
Anyone out there to teach me how to do this ?
Any pointers to Web pages are also good enough ...
Will really appreciate your efforts/help.
Thanks
