121173SjkhThis is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file 221369Smaxwas last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.7 1997/01/01 14:06:29 jkh Exp $ 321173Sjkh 421173SjkhFor copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this 521173Sjkhdirectory (additional copyright information also exists for some 621173Sjkhsources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for 721173Sjkhmore information). 821173Sjkh 921173SjkhThe Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for 1021173Sjkhbuilding components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most 1121173Sjkhcommonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs 1221173Sjkheverything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the 1321173Sjkhkernel. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on 1421173Sjkhthe standard build targets and compile-time flags. 1521173Sjkh 1621369SmaxBuilding a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, 1721173Sjkhdocumentation for which can be found at: 1821173Sjkh http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html 1921369SmaxAnd in the config(8) man page. 2021173Sjkh 2121173SjkhThe sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf 2221173Sjkhsub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the 2321173Sjkhfile named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation 2421173Sjkhkernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not 2521173Sjkhjust those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference 2621173Sjkhthan an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it 2721173Sjkhwouldn't even run). 2821173Sjkh 2921173Sjkh 3021173SjkhSource Roadmap: 3121173Sjkh--------------- 3221173Sjkhbin System/User commands. 3321173Sjkh 3421173Sjkhcontrib Packages contributed by 3rd parties. 3521173Sjkh 3621173SjkheBones Kerberos package - NOT FOR EXPORT! 3721173Sjkh 3821173Sjkhetc Template files for /etc 3921173Sjkh 4021173Sjkhgames Amusements. 4121173Sjkh 4221173Sjkhgnu Various commands and libraries under the GNU Public License. 4321173Sjkh Please see gnu/COPYING* for more information. 4421173Sjkh 4521173Sjkhinclude System include files. 4621173Sjkh 4721173Sjkhlib System libraries. 4821173Sjkh 4921173Sjkhlibexec System daemons. 5021173Sjkh 5121173Sjkhlkm Loadable Kernel Modules. 5221173Sjkh 5321173Sjkhrelease Release building Makefile & associated tools. 5421173Sjkh 5521173Sjkhsbin System commands. 5621173Sjkh 5721173Sjkhsecure DES and DES-related utilities - NOT FOR EXPORT! 5821173Sjkh 5921173Sjkhshare Shared resources. 6021173Sjkh 6121173Sjkhsys Kernel sources. 6221173Sjkh 6321173Sjkhtools Utilities for regression testing and miscellaneous tasks. 6421173Sjkh 6521173Sjkhusr.bin User commands. 6621173Sjkh 6721173Sjkhusr.sbin System administration commands. 6821173Sjkh 6921173Sjkh 7021173SjkhFor information on synchronizing your source tree with one or more of 7121173Sjkhthe FreeBSD Project's development branches, please see: 7221173Sjkh 7321173Sjkh http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html 74
