1FreeBSD Source: 2--------------- 3This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file 4was last revised on: 5$FreeBSD$ 6 7For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this 8directory (additional copyright information also exists for some 9sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for 10more information). 11 12The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for 13building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) 14and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html 15for more information, including setting make(1) variables. 16 17The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install 18the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of 19the Makefile in this directory for more information on the 20standard build targets and compile-time flags. 21 22Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), 23and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html 24for more information. 25 26Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the 27`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build 28world before. More information is available in the handbook. 29 30The kernel configuration files reside in the `sys/<arch>/conf` 31sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. 32NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible 33devices, not just those commonly used. 34 35 36Source Roadmap: 37--------------- 38``` 39bin System/user commands. 40 41cddl Various commands and libraries under the Common Development 42 and Distribution License. 43 44contrib Packages contributed by 3rd parties. 45 46crypto Cryptography stuff (see crypto/README). 47 48etc Template files for /etc. 49 50gnu Various commands and libraries under the GNU Public License. 51 Please see gnu/COPYING* for more information. 52 53include System include files. 54 55kerberos5 Kerberos5 (Heimdal) package. 56 57lib System libraries. 58 59libexec System daemons. 60 61release Release building Makefile & associated tools. 62 63rescue Build system for statically linked /rescue utilities. 64 65sbin System commands. 66 67secure Cryptographic libraries and commands. 68 69share Shared resources. 70 71stand Boot loader sources. 72 73sys Kernel sources. 74 75tests Regression tests which can be run by Kyua.
