make buildworld

Hi,

A couple of questions from a newbie.
I have installed freeBSD 8 from img file on USB drive. no problems.
run
portsnap fetch && portsnap update.

Code: 
cd /usr/src
cvsup -L2 -g -h cvsup14.us.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

All seems fine.
I have created a custom Kernel.
I read that before you create a custom kernel to do make cleanworld && make cleandir then make buildworld.
So..
Code: 
cd /usr/src
make cleanworld && make cleandir

and this appears..
Code: 
home# make cleanworld && make cleandir
#   To be safe in this case, fall back to a 'make cleandir'
===> share/info (cleandir)
make: don't know how to make cleandir. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
home# make cleandir
===> share/info (cleandir)
make: don't know how to make cleandir. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.


First question is:
Do I need to make buildworld from a fresh install before reloading the custom kernel?
Am I using the wrong approach/commands?

Thank you in advance.
 
Zyou don't need to # make buildworld per se*, but it's not a bad idea.

If you have nothing in /usr/obj, making clean is redundant, at best. And I think (assuming you would need to in any case) you would want to # make clean, not cleandir. (is cleandir even a valid target? FIIK)


* I mean to make buildkernel or installkernel, it should automagically take care of any extrinsic "Stoff", ja?

You don't need to install net/cvsup-without-gui just use csup(1). It's in the base and works exactly the same.

No, you need to do # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL and # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL. A build or installworld will build/install all userland binaries (everything in /bin i.e.).

As long as the kernel and world are in sync, no.
