Hi, sorry for taking so long to respond to this one. We've been
thinking a lot recently about how to let users do builds (both kernel
and user-space) out of our source tree. For the moment, we have
something which should work for the kernel even if it's not optimal.
First, you'll have to update your "config", since I had to make a
change to make it accept a configuration file that's not in the
current directory. As root, do:
cp /srvd/usr/sbin/config /usr/sbin/config
Second, make a kernel configuration file (copy ATHENA-AHA and modify
it; I assume from your message that you know how). You can put it
anywhere you have write access; for my example, I'm going to assume
that you have it in root's home directory, $HOME/FIELD-OF-DREAMS.
Then, as root, do:
mkdir -p /usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
config $HOME/FIELD-OF-DREAMS
cd ../compile/FIELD-OF-DREAMS
make depend
make
When you install the new kernel, also update your
/usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs_1.0A.o from
/srvd/usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs_1.0A.o.
In deference to jhawk, I should note that all of the second part will
work as a non-root user if you are in group wheel and /usr/obj is
chgrp'd to wheel and group-writable.
