Hi Thomas, This is a mistake I made at first too. The FreeBSD Handbook tries to cover all the current versions of FreeBSD, and the kernel compilation section can be kind of confusing in that regard. To properly compiler a kernel in FBSD 4.x, do this: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel config> make installkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel config> That should be all you need to do. Good luck on your FreeBSD rite of passage :) -Sean Broestl http://www.counterstricken.org On Tue, 1 May 2001, Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to FreeBSD and tried to compile a new kernel as it is described in > the FreeBSD-handbook. > But when i try "make depent" after "config KERNELNAME" (works correctly) > there are several errors like perl5 ... /u not found,... > I have installed FreeBSD 4.3 RELEASE with /bin and /usr/src/sys. > > I tried to compile a kernel with a copy of unmodified GENERIC but it doesn't > work, same error at "make depend". > > What can/should I do? > > Thomas > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
