Question about the build process

[Alina Groulx]

Hi everyone,

I have been asked to do a software assessment on FreeBSD.  So what I normally do is 
use a script to wrap around the build process normally Makefiles.  What I do is run a 
make -i and just read the build process.  I have noticed that you do not have a 
general configure script to build a general makefile.  Am I missing something?

I guess I need to know how you build it?
What compiler you use to build the code?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! 

Regards,

Alina Groulx

Your question is somewhat unclear, but if you are asking whether FreeBSD 
builds via the GNU autoconf-based configure system which one runs to generate 
a Makefile, the answer is, no.

I guess I need to know how you build it?
Consult the handbook, man release, or look at /usr/src/Makefile for the 
buildworld target.

What compiler you use to build the code?
Most commonly, gcc.  There's been some work to support icc as well...
