[...]About the only thing you should put in make.conf is the name of your
kernel config file:
KERNCONF=MY_SYS would cause the config file /sys/i386/conf/MY_SYS to be
used, assuming it's an i386 system.
OK. Is that equivalent to declaring it as a make command parameter:
| make buildkernel KERNCONF=MY_SYS
or do I really need to put it in make.conf?
It's the equivalent. It just allows you to leave it off of the make
command and i entirely optional. (Note that /etc/make.conf does not even
exist by default, but will be created if you install Perl.)
By "in-sync", I mean that world and kernel were either built from the
same sources or you understand any changes well enough to know that
there will be no adverse impact. (Unless you are hacking kernel code,
the second option is null and the sources should be the same.)
If I understand what you did, you now have a 6.1 world and
6.2-PRERELEASE kernel. This is not likely to work well, I'm afraid. :-(
FWIW, I have an AMD K6 at home and it's pretty painfully slow building
world or the kernel on that system (and it's 450 MHz). You don't even
want to think about building Gnome!
Well, buildworld fell over - but was just that I ran out of space on
/usr. Instead of building world again, I decided to:
| make clean
| make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
| make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
That all completed successful.
I had assumed that:
| make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
was equivalent to:
| config MYKERNEL
| cd ../compile/MYKERNEL
| make cleandepend
| make depend
| make
and would fall over too without building world first, but it seems
not.
Thanks for your help.
Geoff
