: Thanks a lot! Of course, this leads to more questions on my part.
: Firstly, is there an already outlined guide for porting to new
: platforms?
Sadly, no. At the moment one needs to learn by doing....
: (Which is essentially what i'm doing for this project:
: http://opensource.bleepsoft.com/index.php/Main/L4BSD )
:
: Or is this something I'll get to stumble over through trial and error
: with 'make buildworld; ? I'm finding all sorts of extra places where
: the FreeBSD build system is expecting platform specific files for
: example:
:
: ===> sys/boot/iguana (cleandir)
: cd: can't cd to /usr/home/tyler/perforce/projects/l4bsd/src/sys/boot/
: iguana
: *** Error code 2
:
: The problem I'm having is that I just want to build the kernel
: specific to the "new platform" but will I necessarily have to provide
: the proper constructs for the build system to cope with the new
: "platform" in src/sys/ ?
Yes. However, there may be ways to improve the build infrastructure
to make more things optional, like src/sys/boot/$MACHINE...
