Cross compiling BSD

[Dewah77]

I decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to make a kernel from scratch (well the reason I wanted to make it from scratch was to avoid licensing issues), so I decided to modify FreeBSD and make its distro instead.
However I am having some trouble cross compiling it from Linux Mint. Help me to cross compile it from linux mint. (I dont want to compile it from FreeBSD as that yields unexpected results)
Thanks.

Wrong forum, use Google to find a suitable forum for FreeBSD.

It shouldn't do, so that is your real problem. It is only going to be worse if you try to compile the kernel from Linux rather than FreeBSD. There is no point in just ignoring the problems that you are having when you do things the correct way; try to understand why it isn't working.

Not really, its going to (if its similar to linux) just update my freebsd installation instead of making bootable images.
Its doing its intended purpose, but thats not how I intend it to work.

When you compile a kernel, either the FreeBSD one or a Linux one, it just produces the kernel file which you then have to install into your working system. Scripts in certain distributions may automate the installation process, but this is not the case in FreeBSD.

I'm afraid from your posts so far I doubt that you have any chance of successfully modifying the BSD kernel.
