how do I build a single app?

Hi,

I installed FreeBSD into a VirtualBox VM in January and started playing with the code. I must complement you people on the clarity of your code. I've enjoyed examining it.

I wanted to try some code changes to some of the apps in the /bin directory, but can't figure out how to build a single app, or even build a single set of apps, like /usr/src/bin, /usr/src/sbin, /usr/src/usr.bin, or /usr/src/usr.sbin. Is there a way to do this, or do I just have to create my own Makefiles for each app I am experimenting on?

If this is the wrong place to ask this question, I appologize and ask you to direct me to a mailing list that would be the appropriate place to ask this.

Sincerely,

David Lee from Tennessee
