Re: Compiling only the base system?

2004-06-17 Thread Cordula's Web
how can I compile just the base system (sysinstall's minimal install)
from CURRENT sources in /usr/src into DESTDIR=/some/nonstandard/path?
 
  There is certainly some magic in .mk files to do this. I'm just
  too blind to find it...
 
 If you're running -current, check the /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd 
 directory. There's also some discussion on this in the archives.

Ah yes. Tweaking make.conf variables like this generates a useable
object tree!

Thanks for all the help,

-cpghost.

 I don't need the complete system, just the stuff that is normally
 available under /cdrom/base on a RELEASE CD (packed) or, if that is
 too hard, the unpacked files.
 
 Same for /cdrom/crypto.
 
 Is that possible without having to download the complete CVS repo and
 making a custom (snapshot) release?

I'm having trouble understanding the goal here.
In what way does make world not fit the bill?

From /usr/obj, I need only the set of files that are part of the
minimal base system. This minimal system is then net-installed
onto embedded devices with severely limited CF/Disk space.

So I need a way to turn a subset of the contents of /usr/obj
(on a host system) into the set of files that constitute the
base system as available on the RELEASE CDs. These files will
then be fetched via NFS by the embedded devices' sysinstall.

There is certainly some magic in .mk files to do this. I'm just
too blind to find it...

Thanks,
-cpghost.

Compiling only the base system?

2004-06-14 Thread Cordula's Web
Hi,

how can I compile just the base system (sysinstall's minimal install)
from CURRENT sources in /usr/src into DESTDIR=/some/nonstandard/path?

I don't need the complete system, just the stuff that is normally
available under /cdrom/base on a RELEASE CD (packed) or, if that is
too hard, the unpacked files.

Same for /cdrom/crypto.

Is that possible without having to download the complete CVS repo and
making a custom (snapshot) release?

Thanks,
