Can't compile kernel

[Jose Borquez]

The custom kernel config file is in  /usr/src/sys/i386/conf  I did more reading from the FreeBSD  website handbook and it said if you installed only the kernel source  code that you need to compile the traditional way using: 
  
  /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/config CUSTOM  then change to the build directory
  
  /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM
  
  then run make depend.
  
  All of this worked just fine, but now when I run make install I get the following error message: 
  You must build a kernel first.
  *** Error code 1
  
  Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM.
  # /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM
  
  What is the problem here?
  
  Many thanks

The /usr/src/sys directory should contain the kernel source code.  Your
claim that the /usr/src directory is empty is strange since you also say
you are compiling a custom kernel.  Where is the custom kernel config file
if not under /usr/src/sys//conf?
