Re: config <kernelname>
Steven,
Thanks for responding to my question.
[1] I downloaded v5.0 using anon CVS from NetBSD.org
[2] Following the NetBSD Guide, Chapter 31.3 Creating the kernel
Configuration File, as a test, I simply copied the GENERIC kernel config
file, as is to MYKERNEL with no changes in the same directory. I then
attempted, as a sanity test, the config MYKERNEL command which is the
next step to generate dependencies. The result was a bunch of lines of
errors reported. This was my test case before venturing off into
actually trying to change the config for real. Is anyone else able to
confirm my findings or am I off in the weeds here?
[3] MYKERNEL is in the same directory as GENERIC.
I did not try running build.sh yet.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem,
David

What version are you running on? Are you using build.sh? If not, you
should; it will compile a 5.0 config for you.
The other obvious question: is MYKERNEL in the same directory? There
are often included files in GENERIC.
I copied GENERIC to MYKERNEL and attempted to config it with the
following
config MYKERNEL
and received a bunch of errors which prevented further progress.
The kernel building Howto explains that these must be cleaned up
before going to the next step.
I would have thought that the existing GENERIC kernel config file
would be suitable for reuse. Am I doing something wrong or
what?
If I have failed to note a previous response to this question, please
excuse the faux pas.. I'm just getting started with this and am
prone to stumble here and there.
thanks,
