Use absolute path for KERNCONF in make.conf

[Dries Michiels]

Hello,



Is it possible to specify an absolute directory for kernel configurations in
make.conf?

Or does the specified name need to be present under
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/KERNELNAME



EG: KERNCONF = /root/KERNELNAME



Thanks

When I chased this down 5 or 6 years ago, I couldn't find any way to
have an out-of-tree kernel config file other than to put a symlink into
the src/sys/<arch>/conf/ dir that points to the out-of-tree location
(which is still a bit unsatisfying and requires a writable src tree).

KERNCONFDIR=/root ?

This works, thanks!
