Title: Re: Question on order and targets of kernel and
world
I would appreciate a bit more information
on the 'world' and 'kernel'
building process. Please point me at the right section of the Handbook
or
Greg's book if there is a succinct description.

Thanks - I didn't realize 'buildkernel' was redundant to 'buildworld'.
You can build kernels with different

Thanks for the information and for replying.

If you are fairly up-to-date with freebsd-stable, the preferred order

Thanks Jim, Garance, and Pavan -
I think I have the information and references now. I also think I had
didn't have trouble before because I was basically moving only by very
small steps in my rebuilds: bugfixes rather than any changes of APIs.
_Much_ better to do this a bit more knowledgably.

I'm pretty sure that that buildworld does *not* build kernels.
If anybody has definitive information (like, proof) to the contrary I'd be
interested in knowing.

Nope. buildworld != builkernel. But buildworld does link the libraries. For
example if you have a system call and a corresponding library, buildkernel
will not be sufficient for you to allow the library call to invoke the
corresponding system call -- however a buildworld would do that.
