DCMAKESYSROOTpathtotargetsysroot

DCMAKESYSROOTp is a term that appears in the context of the FreeBSD operating system, specifically related to its build system. It refers to a build-time variable or macro used during the compilation and installation process. When building FreeBSD from source code, the system needs to know where to install the various components and files that make up the operating system. DCMAKESYSROOTp is instrumental in defining this destination, often referred to as the "system root" directory.

This variable typically holds the path to the directory where the new system will be installed, especially when performing an upgrade or a chroot installation. It allows the build process to correctly place files and configure the system as if it were installed in its final location, even if the actual installation is happening in a temporary or alternate directory. Understanding DCMAKESYSROOTp is primarily relevant for users and developers who are compiling FreeBSD from source, customizing the build process, or undertaking advanced installation procedures. Its precise behavior and usage are detailed within the FreeBSD documentation, particularly concerning its build and installation guides.
