Hi,

Could anybody give me some info about 'how to compile the FreeBSD source

Any pointers to useful links will also suffice.

first, this isn't the proper mailing list for this type of question.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be much more appropriate.

second, check out the freebsd handbook, at http://freebsd.org/handbook
for the answer to your question and a whole lot more...

Assuming it is in /usr/src (where it gets put by default)



cd /usr/src
make


or

cd /usr/src/
make buildworld
make installworld

or

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/yourfavouriteutility
make depend
make
maek install


If you do not hav ethe source, see the many places in th online handbook
that tell you how to keep your sources up-to date with the branch you
select. (look for references to cvsup)
