Welcome to the freebsd-wifi-build wiki!

A short example of how to use these scripts

Overview

The build scripts make a few assumptions:

• The root and obj are built relative to the current directory;
• The source directory is the current directory - ie, run the scripts from inside the src checkout you wish to build from
• The configuration files are relative to the build script directory

Assumptions

• (platformname) is the configuration file name
• (archname) is BUILDNAME in the config file - this is used to construct the path for object and root directories for the system build
• This is because multiple platforms share the same architecture, so it's easier to have one shared architecture for the build tools, objdir and root
• (kernconf) is the KERNCONF entry in the configuration file

Setup

• Check out a source tree - I use /data/freebsd/head/src
• Check out these build scripts - I use /data/freebsd/build
• Make sure you've written, adapted or checked the configuration file in question - here these live in /data/freebsd/build/cfg/

Here's an example of how to get started:

$ mkdir -p /data/freebsd/head/src
$ cd /data/freebsd
$ git clone [email protected]:freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build /data/freebsd/build
$ svn checkout https://svn.freebsd.org/base/head /data/freebsd/head/src
$ cd /data/freebsd/mips/head/src/
$ /data/freebsd/build/bin/build (platformname)

It should put the kernel, mfsroot and relevant flash files in ../tftpboot/ . If you wish to copy things into /tftpboot, then just do

$ cp -vf ../tftpboot/* /tftpboot/
