1This is the top level of the DragonFly source directory. This file 2was last revised on: 3$FreeBSD: src/README,v 1.15.2.4 2002/04/26 16:01:35 bmah Exp $ 4$DragonFly: src/README,v 1.5 2004/01/31 08:52:16 asmodai Exp $ 5 6For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this 7directory (additional copyright information also exists for some 8sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for 9more information). 10 11The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for 12building components (or all) of the DragonFly source tree, the most 13commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs 14everything in the DragonFly system from the source tree except the 15kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The 16``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install 17the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of 18the Makefile in this directory for more information on the 19standard build targets and compile-time flags. 20 21Building a kernel is a somewhat involved process. Documentation 22for it can be found at: 23 http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html 24Although the above reference is FreeBSD-specific, it is also generally 25applicable to DragonFly. Also see the the config(8) man page. 26 27Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the 28``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build 29world before. More information is available in the FreeBSD handbook. 30 31The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf 32sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the 33file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation 34kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not 35just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference 36than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it 37wouldn't even run). 38 39 40Source Roadmap: 41--------------- 42bin System/user commands. 43 44contrib Packages contributed by 3rd parties. 45 46crypto Cryptography stuff (see crypto/README). 47 48etc Template files for /etc. 49 50games Amusements. 51 52gnu Various commands and libraries under the GNU Public License. 53 Please see gnu/COPYING* for more information. 54 55include System include files. 56 57kerberos5 Kerberos5 (Heimdal) package. 58 59lib System libraries. 60 61libexec System daemons. 62 63nrelease Framework for building the ``live'' CD image. 64 65release Release building Makefile & associated tools. 66 67sbin System commands. 68 69secure Cryptographic libraries and commands. 70 71share Shared resources. 72 73sys Kernel sources. 74 75test System tests. 76 77tools Utilities for regression testing and miscellaneous tasks. 78 79usr.bin User commands. 80 81usr.sbin System administration commands. 82
