so kernel source was not part of install (i think it is for freeBSD, no big deal), and i wanna compile something which is telling me i need kernel source installed

i'm running GhostBSD11.1-ALPHA1-20170808-063724-xfce-i386.iso

$ freebsd-version -k
11.1-RC3

if i use

$ git clone https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git /usr/src

will that get 11.1-RC3 or no, i have to add something special to the git command or even git from a different github ?

You can get the source code from this GhostBSD wiki page:

Select the image you want

Your image is this one I think:


ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/relea ... SE/src.txz

Yes, that is the src tarball, however keep in mind two things:

1) you should spend some amount of time learning about GhostBSD/FreeBSD before to adventure into software building, FreeBSD/GhostBSD are quite different from a Linux distro.

2) We might drop i386 support any time, ideally within hours.

Thanks, ASX.

Sleeping make me feel like a "rechargeable battery" and we all know batteries allow for a limited amount of discharge/recharge cycles
