Hardware
- CPU: amd64-compatible 64-bit Intel or AMD CPU.
- 16GB memory, or the equivalent in memory plus swap space
- at least 80GB of free disk space
-
Software
-
The build environment must be FreeBSD 11.x (or 11-STABLE) (building on FreeBSD 10 or 12 is not supported at this time).
-
Required packages must be installed and set up:
-
pkg install -y archivers/pigz archivers/pxz devel/git devel/gmake lang/python3 lang/python ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel``` rehash python2.7 -m ensurepip python2.7 -m pip install six
textproc/py-sphinx_numfig
must be installed from ports as there is no package for it. This requires the ports tree to be installed:make -C /usr/ports/textproc/py-sphinx_numfig install clean
make bootstrap-pkgs
installs required dependencies automatically. It only installs what is listed in theMakefile

-
checkout
creates a local working copy of the git repositories withgit clone
-
update
does agit pull
to update the local working copy with any changes made to the git repositories since the last update -
release
actually builds the FreeNAS release -
clean
removes previously built files
Clone the build repository and switch to that directory
(/usr/build
is used for this example):
git clone https://github.com/freenas/build /usr/build
cd /usr/build
First-time checkout of source:
make checkout
A FreeNAS release is built by first updating the source, then building:
make update
make release
To build the SDK version:
make update
make release BUILD_SDK=yes
Clean builds take a while, not just due to operating system builds, but because poudriere has to build all of the ports. Later builds are faster, only rebuilding files that need it.
Use make clean
to remove all built files.
Built files are in the freenas/_BE
subdirectory,
/usr/build/freenas/_BE
in this example.
ISO files: freenas/_BE/release/FreeNAS-11-MASTER-{date}/x64/
.
Update files: freenas/_BE/release/
.
Log files: freenas/_BE/objs/logs/
