MidnightBSD

Most users want to check out a stable branch rather than use the current development branch called master . Look at the stable branches. For example: The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the MidnightBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being world , which rebuilds and installs everything in the MidnightBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel modules, and the contents of /etc . The buildkernel and installkernel targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. Documentation can be found at: The MidnightBSD documentation and wiki should be preferred. For additional background information, see the FreeBSD Handbook kernel configuration chapter and the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the buildkernel and installkernel targets, you might need to build world first. See the MidnightBSD documentation and wiki above for preferred guidance, and the FreeBSD Handbook for additional background. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/ /conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for possible kernel configuration options. Some architectures also provide a LINT file for compile-only coverage and a MINIMAL file for reduced configurations.
