That step wasn't in the book because it was an error. Greg regularly sends
out errata and addenda to "The Complete FreeBSD" on this list. I've
included the relevant section below:
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition
Last revision: 2 August 1999
Page 362
________
Replace the text at the top of the page with:
Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel:
# cd ../../compile/FREEBIE
# make depend
# make
The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created:
apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files
needed for the build.
Thanks to Mark Ovens <marcov@globalnet.co.uk> for drawing this to my attention,
and to Francisco Reyes <francisco@natserv.com> and Bill Fumerola
<billf@jade.chc-chimes.com> for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the
third edition.
