Build OpenBSD Kernel ======================================================================== I'm running OpenBSD-current for a while in order to support my port. It's currently only one port, but that's a start, right? Anyway... every once in a while I stumble over a patch on the OpenBSD Mailinglist I want to try and this requires me to apply the patch and build the Kernel with it. But how? Well, the documentation is where you would expect it: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Custom Download the kernel source # cd /usr # cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs checkout -P src Update the kernel source # cd /usr/src # cvs -q up -Pd Configure Kernel # cd /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf # cp GENERIC.MP MYKERNEL # config MYKERNEL Build and install kernel (amd64) # cd /sys/arch/amd64/compile/MYKERNEL # make clean # make # make install # the old kernel is /obsd now That's it. Reboot. This is ONLY the Kernel. If you need to build the whole system, please consult the OpenBSD documentation. # Changelog: # * 2019-10-24: Created |
