If you have to ask, you should *NOT* attempt to build this kernel module on FreeBSD. The kernel, kernel interfaes, etc. are *DIFFERENT* between Linux and FreeBSD. signficicant sourte-code changes will VERY PROBABLY be require to get the module to (a) compile, and (b) run, in a FreeBSD environment. To do _that_ -- modifying the sources -- 'where the build directory is' is a very _minor_ incidental piece of knowlege. If you don't have that incidental knowledge, is is virtually certain, you don't have the skill set to do the required source modifications. Executive summary -- this is a DDT issue.
