buildworld before installworld?

[paradoxmonkey]

Do one need to issue make buildworld before running installworld?

I'm trying to make a minimal jail using,

make installworld DESTDIR=/test SRCCONF=/bworld/src.conf

Yes, or else there's nothing to install.

You don't need to do it every time though. You can do a buildworld once followed by multiple installworlds. That's no problem as long as the sources haven't changed in the meantime.

Should SRCCONF be applied to buildworld or installworld?

At least on installworld. Or it might try to install parts that have been excluded during buildworld.

I usually build a 'full' world and only use a src.conf(5) when doing an installworld.

After creating my world, chrooting and issuing ifconfig I got:

Shared object "libipx.so.5" not found, required by "ifconfig"

The system only cares if the variable is defined, not the actual value. From src.conf(5):

The values of variables are ignored regardless of their setting; even if
they would be set to “FALSE” or “NO”. Just the existence of an option
will cause it to be honoured by make(1).

Setting those to "false" defines them. Instead, comment them out or remove them from the file.

Messing with src.conf is advanced usage and prone to breakage. Don't use it casually.

One can't ignore src.conf for only one of buildworld/installworld without being familiar with the system and taking special care to meet all dependencies. Looks like you built world with IPX support enabled, but installed world with it disabled. Install world with IPX enabled, or rebuild with it disabled.

Can I just use say WITHOUT_ROUTED instead of WITHOUT_ROUTED=true?

No. You can do that from the command line with -D, but it's not valid syntax for a shell script. You can probably set them without a value, though:

WITHOUT_NECESSARYSTUFF=
WITHOUT_CRITICALINFRASTRUCTURE=
WITHOUT_WHICHITWONTRUN=
