Hi,

build of world and kernel are coupled. If you had done a full rebuild of DragonFly previously (ie, upgraded from a previous version), your world would allready be built, and you could just build a custom kernel.

The important part, is that the same source (in /usr/src) is used for building both world and userland.

See build(7) for more information (man 7 build).


Best regards,

Daniel Bond.

Hi:

i'm trying to compile a custom kernel on my AMD64 X2 box, and in
encouter the notification shown below.

As i'm a newbie, can some of the more experienced folks share
the reason for the requirement to 'buildworld' before
'buildkernel' ?

Additionally, there doesn't seem to be this requirement when
compiling a custom kernel on FreeBSD. Any pointers ?

Thanks in advance.


thanks
Saifi.
