I'd recommend leaving CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS alone (I've only managed to make problems when I set these), but I would change CPUTYPE to your CPU Type, options are:I am going to do a fresh install of FreBSD 5.3 this weekend on my computer. Immediately after the installation I want to do a buildworld and install a custom kernel.
My question is what special arguments should I use in the 'make.conf'
file for this project. Is it really necessary to change this file at
all? I was reading the handbook and it mentioned the 'CFLAGGS' entry and
a few others.
AMD CPU: athlon-mp, athlon-xp, athlon-4, athlon-tbird, athlon, k6-3, k6-2, k6, k5
Intel CPU: p4, p3, p2, i686, i586/mmx, i586, i486, i386
If you want to rebuild a custom kernel add this: KERNCONF=FOOBAR
--------------------------------------------------------------
For your kernel config file comment out everything you don't need (make sure you have a "working" kernel b4 you buildworld), i.g:
cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU device eisa device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives device atapist # ATAPI tape drives all the SCSI Controllers etc. Don't forget to add in sound support etc. etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------
then buildworld:
# cvsup -g -L 2 foobar-supfile (set the cvs release tag to RELENG_5_3)
# cd /usr/src
# make -j2 buildworld && make -j2 buildkernel && make -j2 Installkernel && reboot
test your new kernel, if it works drop down to single user mode
# shutdown now
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# reboot
If system is still working then mergemaster
# mergemaster
# reboot
Done.
rm -r /usr/obj/*
I would welcome any feedback that is available.
Thanks!
