And once you've successfully installed the system, definitely don't try to use sysinstall for anything. It does involve learning a thousand difference commands, but it's worth it. The most direct method is as outbackdi...@gmail.com said: edit up a supfile run csup(1). You can also download the relevant src.txz from your favourite ftp server, extract it (tar xpf etc etc). Or even go whole hog pull it down via svn (this does take up about double the space, though). -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
How to build 9.0 from source?
I installed 9.0 without sources. Now I'd like to try building the kernel (or specifically the mfi driver), so I've tried to get the sources. The handbook says (in 9.55) to use sysinstall to get the source configuration - but that doesn't seem to work and what its trying to fetch seems more like an 8.x source set, I fetched src.txz and unpacked it and sorted out the /usr/src/sys link, and 'make' in the root of that builds the boot code ok. However, there is no /usr/src/UPDATING to check per 9.5, and 'cd /usr/src;make buildkernel' tells me: make: don't know how t make buildkerel. Stop. /usr/src was empty before I set up the 'sys' link (which in my case points to a zfs volume). It seems wrong to m - how can I get sources etc installed so I can build the kernel? (And userspace if necessary - but its the mfi driver I want to fiddle with) James ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(And userspace if necessary - but its the mfi driver I want to fiddle with) look in /usr/share/examples/cvsup theres files for csup, edit them to your needs, cvsup server and release the run csup -g 2 -L stable-supfile itll fetch all the sources... also see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html James ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
