3 1.105 wiz NAME
4 1.150 lukem BUILDING - Procedure for building NetBSD from source code
5 1.1 tv
6 1.105 wiz REQUIREMENTS
7 1.1 tv NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems.
8 1.105 wiz The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the
9 1.105 wiz same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or
10 1.1 tv OS).
11 1.1 tv
12 1.126 wiz This source tree contains a special subtree, "tools", which uses the host
13 1.126 wiz system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture. The host
14 1.126 wiz system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the
15 1.105 wiz toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of
16 1.147 lukem the NetBSD build process. (See the Environment variables section below
17 1.53 reed if you need to override or manually select your compilers.)

21 1.151 lukem BUILDING This document (in plaintext). Generated from
22 1.151 lukem doc/BUILDING.mdoc.
23 1.48 jmc
24 1.105 wiz Makefile The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for
25 1.44 lukem native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of
26 1.142 andvar NetBSD make(1). Intended for expert use with knowledge of
27 1.129 sevan its shortcomings, it has been superseded by the build.sh
28 1.129 sevan shell script as the recommended means for building NetBSD.
29 1.1 tv
30 1.105 wiz UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of
31 1.1 tv NetBSD. It is important to read this file before every
32 1.1 tv build of an updated source tree.
33 1.1 tv
34 1.105 wiz build.sh Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host
35 1.1 tv build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch. Can be
36 1.1 tv used for both native and cross builds, and should be used
37 1.129 sevan instead of make(1) as it performs additional checks to
38 1.129 sevan prevent common issues going undetected, such as building
39 1.129 sevan with an outdated version of make(1).

41 1.105 wiz crypto/dist/, dist/, gnu/dist/
42 1.104 wiz Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without
43 1.104 wiz mangling the existing build structure. Other source trees
44 1.126 wiz in bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1) "reachover"
45 1.126 wiz Makefile semantics when building these programs for a
46 1.126 wiz native host.

48 1.151 lukem distrib/, etc/
49 1.151 lukem Sources for items used when making a full release

92 1.105 wiz CONFIGURATION
93 1.105 wiz Environment variables
94 1.8 lukem Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.
95 1.8 lukem
96 1.152 lukem HOST_CC Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain.
97 1.58 apb
98 1.152 lukem HOST_CFLAGS Flags passed to the host C compiler.
99 1.53 reed
100 1.152 lukem HOST_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain.
101 1.137 uwe
102 1.152 lukem HOST_CXXFLAGS Flags passed to the host C++ compiler.
103 1.53 reed
104 1.152 lukem HOST_SH Path name to a shell available on the host system and
105 1.152 lukem suitable for use during the build. The NetBSD build
106 1.152 lukem system requires a modern Bourne-like shell with POSIX-
107 1.152 lukem compliant features, and also requires support for the
108 1.152 lukem "local" keyword to declare local variables in shell
109 1.152 lukem functions (which is a widely-implemented but non-
110 1.152 lukem standardised feature).
111 1.152 lukem
112 1.152 lukem Depending on the host system, a suitable shell may be
113 1.152 lukem /bin/sh, /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, /bin/ksh (provided it is a
114 1.152 lukem variant of ksh that supports the "local" keyword, such as
115 1.152 lukem ksh88, but not ksh93), or /usr/local/bin/bash.
116 1.152 lukem
117 1.152 lukem Most parts of the build require HOST_SH to be an absolute
118 1.152 lukem path; however, build.sh allows it to be a simple command
119 1.152 lukem name, which will be converted to an absolute path by
120 1.152 lukem searching the PATH.
121 1.137 uwe
122 1.147 lukem INSTALLBOOT_UBOOT_PATHS
123 1.152 lukem A colon-separated list of search paths used by
124 1.152 lukem installboot(8) to find U-Boot packages.
125 1.147 lukem
126 1.152 lukem MACHINE Machine type, e.g., "macppc".
127 1.8 lukem
128 1.152 lukem MACHINE_ARCH Machine architecture, e.g., "powerpc".
129 1.8 lukem
130 1.152 lukem MAKE Path name to invoke make(1) as.
131 1.8 lukem
132 1.152 lukem MAKECONF The name of the make(1) configuration file. See "make"
133 1.152 lukem variables and mk.conf(5).
134 1.151 lukem
135 1.152 lukem Note: Only settable in the process environment.
136 1.151 lukem
137 1.152 lukem Default: "/etc/mk.conf"
138 1.151 lukem
139 1.152 lukem MAKEFLAGS Flags to invoke make(1) with.
140 1.151 lukem
141 1.152 lukem Note: build.sh ignores the value of MAKEFLAGS passed in
142 1.152 lukem the environment, but allows MAKEFLAGS to be set via the
143 1.152 lukem -V option.
144 1.151 lukem
145 1.152 lukem MAKEOBJDIR Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current
146 1.152 lukem directory. The value is subjected to variable expansion
147 1.152 lukem by make(1). Typical usage is to set this variable to a
148 1.152 lukem value involving the use of `${.CURDIR:S...}' or
149 1.152 lukem `${.CURDIR:C...}', to derive the value of .OBJDIR from
150 1.152 lukem the value of .CURDIR. Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is
151 1.152 lukem not defined.
152 1.151 lukem
153 1.152 lukem Note: MAKEOBJDIR can be provided only in the environment
154 1.152 lukem or via the -O flag of build.sh; it cannot usefully be set
155 1.152 lukem inside a Makefile, including in mk.conf(5) or MAKECONF.
156 1.151 lukem
157 1.151 lukem MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
158 1.152 lukem Top level directory of the object directory tree. The
159 1.152 lukem value is subjected to variable expansion by make(1).
160 1.152 lukem build.sh will create the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory if
161 1.152 lukem necessary, but if make(1) is used without build.sh, then
162 1.152 lukem rules in <bsd.obj.mk> will abort the build if the
163 1.152 lukem ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory does not exist. If the
164 1.152 lukem value is defined and valid, then
165 1.152 lukem ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the .OBJDIR for
166 1.152 lukem the current directory. The current directory may be read
167 1.152 lukem only.
168 1.152 lukem
169 1.152 lukem Note: MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be provided only in the
170 1.152 lukem environment or via the -M flag of build.sh; it cannot
171 1.152 lukem usefully be set inside a Makefile, including in
172 1.152 lukem mk.conf(5) or MAKECONF.
173 1.152 lukem
174 1.152 lukem TMPDIR Top-level directory to store temporary directories used
175 1.152 lukem by build.sh before paths to other directories such as
176 1.152 lukem .OBJDIR can be determined.
177 1.149 lukem
178 1.152 lukem Note: Must support execution of binaries. I.e., without
179 1.152 lukem mount(8)'s -o noexec option.
180 1.149 lukem
181 1.152 lukem Default: "/tmp".
182 1.149 lukem
183 1.105 wiz "make" variables
184 1.104 wiz Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds. Unless
185 1.104 wiz otherwise specified, these variables may be set in either the process
186 1.150 lukem environment or the make(1) configuration file mk.conf(5) specified by
187 1.151 lukem MAKECONF.
188 1.151 lukem
189 1.151 lukem This list is not comprehensive; all supported variables and their
190 1.151 lukem defaults are documented in mk.conf(5).
191 1.151 lukem
192 1.152 lukem BSDOBJDIR The real path to the object directory tree for the NetBSD
193 1.152 lukem source tree.
194 1.151 lukem
195 1.152 lukem Default: "/usr/obj"
196 1.151 lukem
197 1.152 lukem BSDSRCDIR The real path to the NetBSD source tree, if NETBSDSRCDIR
198 1.152 lukem isn't defined.
199 1.151 lukem
200 1.152 lukem Default: "/usr/src"
201 1.152 lukem
202 1.152 lukem BUILDID Identifier for the build. If set, this should be a short
203 1.152 lukem string that is suitable for use as part of a file or
204 1.152 lukem directory name. The identifier will be appended to
205 1.152 lukem object directory names, and can be consulted in the
206 1.152 lukem make(1) configuration file in order to set additional
207 1.152 lukem build parameters, such as compiler flags. It will also
208 1.152 lukem be used as part of the kernel version string, which can
209 1.152 lukem be shown by "uname -v".
210 1.152 lukem
211 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
212 1.152 lukem
213 1.152 lukem BUILDINFO Optional multi-line string containing information about
214 1.152 lukem the build. This will appear in DESTDIR/etc/release, and
215 1.152 lukem it will be stored in the buildinfo variable in any
216 1.152 lukem kernels that are built. When such kernels are booted,
217 1.152 lukem the sysctl(7) kern.buildinfo variable will report this
218 1.152 lukem value. The string may contain backslash escape
219 1.152 lukem sequences, such as "\\" (representing a backslash
220 1.152 lukem character) and "\n" (representing a newline).
221 1.152 lukem
222 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
223 1.152 lukem
224 1.152 lukem BUILDSEED g++(1) uses random numbers when compiling C++ code. This
225 1.152 lukem variable seeds the g++(1) random number generator using
226 1.152 lukem -frandom-seed with this value. By default, it is set to
227 1.152 lukem "NetBSD-(majorversion)". Using a fixed value causes C++
228 1.152 lukem binaries to be the same when built from the same sources,
229 1.152 lukem resulting in identical (reproducible) builds. Additional
230 1.152 lukem information is available in the g++(1) documentation of
231 1.152 lukem -frandom-seed.
232 1.152 lukem
233 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
234 1.152 lukem
235 1.152 lukem CPUFLAGS Additional flags to the compiler/assembler to select CPU
236 1.152 lukem instruction set options, CPU tuning options, etc.
237 1.152 lukem
238 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
239 1.152 lukem
240 1.152 lukem DESTDIR Directory to contain the built NetBSD system. If set,
241 1.152 lukem special options are passed to the compilation tools to
242 1.152 lukem prevent their default use of the host system's
243 1.152 lukem /usr/include, /usr/lib, and so forth. This pathname must
244 1.152 lukem be an absolute path, and should not end with a slash (/)
245 1.152 lukem character. (For installation into the system's root
246 1.152 lukem directory, set DESTDIR to an empty string, not to "/").
247 1.152 lukem The directory must reside on a file system which supports
248 1.152 lukem long file names and hard links.
249 1.151 lukem
250 1.152 lukem Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE
251 1.152 lukem (in the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode.
252 1.151 lukem
253 1.152 lukem Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is "yes"; unset
254 1.152 lukem otherwise.
255 1.151 lukem
256 1.151 lukem EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN
257 1.152 lukem If defined, this variable indicates the root directory of
258 1.152 lukem an external toolchain which will be used to build the
259 1.152 lukem tree. For example, if a platform is a TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
260 1.152 lukem platform, EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN can be used to re-enable the
261 1.152 lukem cross-compile framework.
262 1.151 lukem
263 1.152 lukem If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN is defined, act as MKGCC=no, since
264 1.152 lukem the external version of the compiler may not be able to
265 1.152 lukem build the library components of the in-tree compiler.
266 1.151 lukem
267 1.152 lukem This variable should be used in conjunction with an
268 1.152 lukem appropriate HAVE_GCC or HAVE_LLVM setting to control the
269 1.152 lukem compiler flags.
270 1.151 lukem
271 1.152 lukem Note: This variable is not yet used in as many places as
272 1.152 lukem it should be. Expect the exact semantics of this
273 1.152 lukem variable to change in the short term as parts of the
274 1.152 lukem cross-compile framework continue to be cleaned up.
275 1.151 lukem
276 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
277 1.151 lukem
278 1.152 lukem MAKEVERBOSE Level of verbosity of status messages. Supported values:
279 1.151 lukem
280 1.152 lukem 0 No descriptive messages or commands executed by
281 1.152 lukem make(1) are shown.
282 1.151 lukem
283 1.152 lukem 1 Brief messages are shown describing what is being
284 1.152 lukem done, but the actual commands executed by make(1) are
285 1.152 lukem not shown.
286 1.151 lukem
287 1.152 lukem 2 Descriptive messages are shown as above (prefixed
288 1.152 lukem with a `#'), and ordinary commands performed by
289 1.152 lukem make(1) are shown.
290 1.151 lukem
291 1.152 lukem 3 In addition to the above, all commands performed by
292 1.152 lukem make(1) are shown, even if they would ordinarily have
293 1.152 lukem been hidden through use of the "@" prefix in the
294 1.152 lukem relevant makefile.
295 1.151 lukem
296 1.152 lukem 4 In addition to the above, commands executed by
297 1.152 lukem make(1) are traced through use of the sh(1) "-x"
298 1.152 lukem flag.
299 1.151 lukem
300 1.152 lukem Default: 2
301 1.151 lukem
302 1.152 lukem MKCATPAGES Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether
303 1.152 lukem preformatted plaintext manual pages will be created and
304 1.152 lukem installed.
305 1.151 lukem
306 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if MKMAN=no or MKSHARE=no.
307 1.151 lukem

311 1.152 lukem host tool.
312 1.1 tv
313 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
314 1.151 lukem
315 1.152 lukem MKDEBUG Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether debug
316 1.152 lukem information should be generated for all userland
317 1.152 lukem binaries. The result is collected as an additional
318 1.152 lukem debug.tgz and xdebug.tgz set and installed in
319 1.152 lukem DESTDIR/usr/libdata/debug.
320 1.151 lukem
321 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if NODEBUG is defined, usually in the
322 1.152 lukem Makefile before any make(1) .include directives.
323 1.151 lukem
324 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
325 1.151 lukem
326 1.152 lukem MKDEBUGKERNEL Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether debugging
327 1.152 lukem symbols will be built for kernels by default; pretend as
328 1.152 lukem if makeoptions DEBUG="-g" is specified in kernel
329 1.152 lukem configuration files. This will also put the debug kernel
330 1.152 lukem netbsd.gdb in the kernel sets. See options(4) for
331 1.152 lukem details. This is useful if a cross-gdb is built as well
332 1.152 lukem (see MKCROSSGDB).
333 1.151 lukem
334 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
335 1.151 lukem
336 1.152 lukem MKDEBUGLIB Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether debug
337 1.152 lukem libraries (lib*_g.a) will be built and installed. Debug
338 1.152 lukem libraries are compiled with "-g -DDEBUG".
339 1.151 lukem
340 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if NODEBUGLIB is defined, usually in the
341 1.152 lukem Makefile before any make(1) .include directives.
342 1.151 lukem
343 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
344 1.151 lukem
345 1.152 lukem MKDEBUGTOOLS Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether debug
346 1.152 lukem information (lib*_g.a) will be included in the build
347 1.152 lukem toolchain.

349 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
350 1.107 apb
351 1.152 lukem MKDOC Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether system
352 1.152 lukem documentation destined for DESTDIR/usr/share/doc will be
353 1.152 lukem installed.
354 1.151 lukem
355 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if NODOC is defined, usually in the
356 1.152 lukem Makefile before any make(1) .include directives.
357 1.151 lukem
358 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if MKSHARE=no.
359 1.151 lukem
360 1.152 lukem Default: "yes"
361 1.151 lukem
362 1.152 lukem MKHOSTOBJ Can be set to "yes" or "no". If set to "yes", then for
363 1.152 lukem programs intended to be run on the compile host, the
364 1.152 lukem name, release, and architecture of the host operating
365 1.152 lukem system will be suffixed to the name of the object
366 1.152 lukem directory created by "make obj". (This allows multiple
367 1.152 lukem host systems to compile NetBSD for a single target.) If
368 1.152 lukem set to "no", then programs built to be run on the compile
369 1.152 lukem host will use the same object directory names as programs
370 1.152 lukem built to be run on the target.
371 1.9 thorpej
372 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
373 1.108 apb

503 1.1 tv
504 1.152 lukem Default: "no" on or1k, riscv32, and riscv64 (due to

506 1.152 lukem platforms.
507 1.1 tv
508 1.152 lukem MKREPRO Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether builds
509 1.152 lukem are to be reproducible. If "yes", two builds from the
510 1.152 lukem same source tree will produce the same build results.
511 1.1 tv
512 1.152 lukem Used as the default for MKARZERO.
513 1.100 wiz

520 1.152 lukem Unix timestamp. When MKREPRO is set, the timestamp of
521 1.152 lukem all files in the sets will be set to this value.
522 1.151 lukem
523 1.152 lukem This may be set automatically to the latest source tree
524 1.152 lukem timestamp using cvslatest(1) by giving build.sh the -P

527 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
528 1.151 lukem
529 1.152 lukem MKSHARE Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether files
530 1.152 lukem destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and
531 1.152 lukem installed.
532 1.151 lukem
533 1.152 lukem Forced to "no" if NOSHARE is defined, usually in the
534 1.152 lukem Makefile before any make(1) .include directives.
535 1.122 wiz
536 1.152 lukem If "no", acts as MKCATPAGES=no MKDOC=no MKINFO=no
537 1.152 lukem MKHTML=no MKMAN=no MKNLS=no.

539 1.152 lukem Default: "yes"
540 1.151 lukem
541 1.152 lukem MKSTRIPIDENT Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether RCS IDs,
542 1.152 lukem for use with ident(1), should be stripped from program
543 1.152 lukem binaries and shared libraries.
544 1.151 lukem
545 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
546 1.151 lukem
547 1.152 lukem MKSTRIPSYM Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether all local
548 1.152 lukem symbols should be stripped from shared libraries. If
549 1.152 lukem "yes", strip all local symbols from shared libraries; the
550 1.152 lukem affect is equivalent to the -x option of ld(1). If "no",
551 1.152 lukem strip only temporary local symbols; the affect is
552 1.152 lukem equivalent to the -X option of ld(1). Keeping non-
553 1.152 lukem temporary local symbols such as static function names is
554 1.152 lukem useful on using DTrace for userland libraries and getting
555 1.152 lukem a backtrace from a rump kernel loading shared libraries.
556 1.151 lukem
557 1.152 lukem Default: "yes"
558 1.151 lukem
559 1.152 lukem MKUNPRIVED Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether an
560 1.152 lukem unprivileged install will occur. The user, group,
561 1.152 lukem permissions, and file flags, will not be set on the
562 1.152 lukem installed items; instead the information will be appended
563 1.152 lukem to a file called METALOG in DESTDIR. The contents of
564 1.152 lukem METALOG are used during the generation of the
565 1.152 lukem distribution tar files to ensure that the appropriate
566 1.152 lukem file ownership is stored.
567 1.151 lukem
568 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
569 1.151 lukem
570 1.152 lukem MKUPDATE Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether all
571 1.152 lukem install operations intended to write to DESTDIR will
572 1.152 lukem compare file timestamps before installing, and skip the
573 1.152 lukem install phase if the destination files are up-to-date.
574 1.151 lukem
575 1.152 lukem Note: This also has implications on full builds (see next
576 1.152 lukem subsection).
577 1.151 lukem
578 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
579 1.151 lukem
580 1.152 lukem MKX11 Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether X11 is
581 1.152 lukem built and installed from X11SRCDIR, and whether the X
582 1.152 lukem sets will be created.
583 1.151 lukem
584 1.152 lukem Note: If "yes", requires MKINET6=yes.
585 1.151 lukem
586 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
587 1.151 lukem
588 1.152 lukem NETBSDSRCDIR The path to the top level of the NetBSD sources.
589 1.152 lukem
590 1.152 lukem Default: Top level of the NetBSD source tree (as
591 1.152 lukem determined by the presence of build.sh and tools/) if
592 1.152 lukem make(1) is run from within that tree; otherwise BSDSRCDIR
593 1.152 lukem will be used.
594 1.151 lukem
595 1.151 lukem TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
596 1.152 lukem Can be set to "yes" or "no". If not "no", this indicates
597 1.152 lukem that the platform "MACHINE_ARCH" being built does not
598 1.152 lukem have a working in-tree toolchain.
599 1.152 lukem
600 1.152 lukem If not "no", acts as MKBINUTILS=no MKGCC=no MKGDB=no.
601 1.152 lukem
602 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
603 1.152 lukem
604 1.152 lukem TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If
605 1.152 lukem specified, must be an absolute path. This directory
606 1.152 lukem should be unique to a given host system and NetBSD source
607 1.152 lukem tree. (However, multiple targets may share the same
608 1.152 lukem TOOLDIR; the target-dependent files have unique names.)
609 1.152 lukem If unset, a default based on the uname(1) information of
610 1.152 lukem the host platform will be created in the .OBJDIR of src.
611 1.152 lukem
612 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
613 1.152 lukem
614 1.152 lukem USETOOLS Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether the tools
615 1.152 lukem specified by TOOLDIR should be used as part of a build in
616 1.152 lukem progress. Must be set to "yes" if cross-compiling.
617 1.152 lukem
618 1.152 lukem yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR.
619 1.152 lukem
620 1.152 lukem no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to
621 1.152 lukem build native compilation tool components that are
622 1.152 lukem version-specific for that tool.
623 1.152 lukem
624 1.152 lukem never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when
625 1.152 lukem building native tool components. This is similar
626 1.152 lukem to the traditional NetBSD build method, but does
627 1.152 lukem not verify that the compilation tools in use are
628 1.152 lukem up-to-date enough in order to build the tree
629 1.152 lukem successfully. This may cause build or runtime
630 1.152 lukem problems when building the whole NetBSD source
631 1.152 lukem tree.
632 1.152 lukem
633 1.152 lukem Default: "no" when using <bsd.*.mk> outside the NetBSD
634 1.152 lukem source tree (detected automatically) or if
635 1.152 lukem TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes; "yes" otherwise.
636 1.152 lukem
637 1.152 lukem X11SRCDIR Directory containing the modular Xorg source. If
638 1.152 lukem specified, must be an absolute path. The main modular
639 1.152 lukem Xorg source is found in X11SRCDIR/external/mit.
640 1.151 lukem
641 1.152 lukem Default: NETBSDSRCDIR/../xsrc, if that exists; otherwise
642 1.152 lukem /usr/xsrc.
643 1.49 lukem
644 1.105 wiz "make" variables for full builds
645 1.126 wiz These variables only affect the top level "Makefile" and do not affect
646 1.7 lukem manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code.
647 1.1 tv
648 1.147 lukem INSTALLBOOT_BOARDS
649 1.152 lukem A list of boards to create bootable images for. If
650 1.152 lukem corresponding U-Boot packages are installed, bootable
651 1.152 lukem images are created as part of a release. See the
652 1.152 lukem -o board=name option of installboot(8).
653 1.147 lukem
654 1.152 lukem INSTALLWORLDDIR
655 1.152 lukem Location for the "make installworld" target to install
656 1.152 lukem to. If specified, must be an absolute path.

658 1.152 lukem Default: "/"
659 1.1 tv
660 1.152 lukem MKOBJDIRS Can be set to "yes" or "no". Indicates whether object
661 1.152 lukem directories will be created automatically (via a "make
662 1.152 lukem obj" pass) at the start of a build.
663 1.1 tv
664 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
665 1.1 tv
666 1.152 lukem If using build.sh, the default is "yes". This may be set
667 1.152 lukem back to "no" by giving build.sh the -o option.
668 1.70 dholland
669 1.152 lukem MKUPDATE Can be set to "yes" or "no". If set, then in addition to
670 1.152 lukem the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above, this
671 1.152 lukem implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., "make cleandir"
672 1.152 lukem is avoided).
673 1.38 lukem
674 1.152 lukem Default: "no"
675 1.38 lukem
676 1.152 lukem If using build.sh, this may be set by giving the -u
677 1.152 lukem option.
678 1.70 dholland
679 1.152 lukem NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the make(1) option -j, instead. See
680 1.152 lukem below.
681 1.1 tv
682 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
683 1.1 tv
684 1.152 lukem NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the "make cleandir" phase of a full build.
685 1.152 lukem This has the effect of allowing only changed files in a
686 1.152 lukem source tree to be recompiled. This can speed up builds
687 1.152 lukem when updating only a few files in the tree.
688 1.1 tv
689 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
690 1.1 tv
691 1.152 lukem See also MKUPDATE.
692 1.70 dholland
693 1.152 lukem NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the "make distrib-dirs" phase of a full
694 1.152 lukem build. This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful on
695 1.152 lukem systems where building as an unprivileged user, or where
696 1.152 lukem it is known that the system-wide mtree files have not
697 1.152 lukem changed.
698 1.1 tv
699 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
700 1.1 tv
701 1.152 lukem NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the "make includes" phase of a full build.
702 1.152 lukem This has the effect of preventing make(1) from thinking
703 1.152 lukem that some programs are out-of-date simply because the
704 1.152 lukem system include files have changed. However, this option
705 1.152 lukem should not be used when updating the entire NetBSD source
706 1.152 lukem tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use MKUPDATE=yes
707 1.152 lukem instead in that case.
708 1.1 tv
709 1.152 lukem Default: Unset.
710 1.1 tv
711 1.152 lukem RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7)
712 1.152 lukem layout will be written at the end of a "make release".
713 1.152 lukem If specified, must be an absolute path.
714 1.20 lukem
715 1.152 lukem Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in
716 1.152 lukem the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode.

728 1.10 sommerfe
729 1.105 wiz -m dir Specify the default directory for searching for system
730 1.104 wiz Makefile segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files. When building
731 1.104 wiz any full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the
732 1.126 wiz "share/mk" directory in the source tree. This is set
733 1.104 wiz automatically when building from the top level, or when using
734 1.105 wiz build.sh.
735 1.1 tv
736 1.148 lukem -n Show the commands that would have been executed, but do not
737 1.1 tv actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to

743 1.105 wiz var=value Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting
744 1.105 wiz specified by the process environment, the MAKECONF
745 1.104 wiz configuration file, or the system Makefile segments.
746 1.1 tv
747 1.105 wiz "make" targets
748 1.1 tv These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of
749 1.1 tv the NetBSD source code. It is recommended that none of these be used
750 1.126 wiz from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, "make obj" and
751 1.126 wiz "make cleandir" are useful in that context.

761 1.105 wiz depend Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed
762 1.44 lukem information about the dependencies of source code on header
763 1.1 tv files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a

769 1.1 tv
770 1.105 wiz distclean Synonym for cleandir.
771 1.49 lukem
772 1.105 wiz includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed
773 1.44 lukem before any system libraries or programs can be built.
774 1.1 tv
775 1.105 wiz install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR.
776 1.105 wiz Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc,
777 1.105 wiz DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied
778 1.27 lukem configuration data from being overwritten.
779 1.1 tv
780 1.105 wiz lint Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and
781 1.1 tv generate system-installed lint libraries.
782 1.1 tv
783 1.105 wiz obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead
784 1.1 tv of building directly in the source tree.
785 1.1 tv
786 1.105 wiz tags Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1)
787 1.1 tv and vi(1) text editors.
788 1.1 tv
789 1.105 wiz "make" targets for the top level
790 1.1 tv Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source
791 1.1 tv level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree.
792 1.1 tv
793 1.105 wiz build Build the entire NetBSD system (except the kernel). This
794 1.68 reed orders portions of the source tree such that prerequisites
795 1.68 reed will be built in the proper order.
796 1.20 lukem
797 1.126 wiz distribution Do a "make build", and then install a full distribution
798 1.105 wiz (which does not include a kernel) into DESTDIR, including
799 1.105 wiz files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, DESTDIR/root and
800 1.105 wiz DESTDIR/var.
801 1.20 lukem
802 1.126 wiz buildworld As per "make distribution", except that it ensures that
803 1.105 wiz DESTDIR is not the root directory.
804 1.20 lukem
805 1.105 wiz installworld Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR,
806 1.70 dholland which defaults to the root directory. Ensures that
807 1.105 wiz INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross
808 1.104 wiz compiling.
809 1.20 lukem
810 1.105 wiz The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a space-
811 1.95 apb separated list of distribution sets to be installed. By
812 1.126 wiz default, all sets except "etc" and "xetc" are installed, so
813 1.126 wiz most files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or
814 1.126 wiz modified.
815 1.61 apb
816 1.105 wiz Note: Before performing this operation with
817 1.105 wiz INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you
818 1.61 apb upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this
819 1.61 apb operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to
820 1.105 wiz update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc, and postinstall(8) to
821 1.102 abs check for or fix inconsistencies.
822 1.20 lukem
823 1.105 wiz sets Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into
824 1.105 wiz RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/sets. Should be run
825 1.126 wiz after "make distribution", as "make build" alone does not
826 1.126 wiz install all of the required files.
827 1.25 lukem
828 1.105 wiz sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into
829 1.105 wiz RELEASEDIR/source/sets.
830 1.31 lukem
831 1.105 wiz syspkgs Create syspkgs from DESTDIR into
832 1.105 wiz RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/syspkgs. Should be run
833 1.126 wiz after "make distribution", as "make build" alone does not
834 1.126 wiz install all of the required files.
835 1.54 apb
836 1.126 wiz release Do a "make distribution", build kernels, distribution
837 1.126 wiz media, and install sets (this as per "make sets"), and then
838 1.126 wiz package the system into a standard release layout as
839 1.105 wiz described by release(7). This requires that RELEASEDIR be
840 1.25 lukem set (see above).
841 1.1 tv
842 1.105 wiz iso-image Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the
843 1.114 snj RELEASEDIR/images directory. The CD-ROM file system will
844 1.114 snj have a layout as described in release(7).
845 1.62 apb
846 1.62 apb For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and
847 1.104 wiz will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based
848 1.104 wiz installation program, which can be used to install or
849 1.104 wiz upgrade a NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain
850 1.104 wiz tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD
851 1.104 wiz installation.
852 1.62 apb
853 1.126 wiz Before "make iso-image" is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be
854 1.126 wiz populated by "make release" or equivalent.

856 1.151 lukem Note: Other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in the
857 1.151 lukem RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom directory
858 1.151 lukem by "make release". These smaller images usually contain
859 1.151 lukem the same tools as the larger images in RELEASEDIR/images,
860 1.151 lukem but do not contain additional content such as the
861 1.151 lukem distribution sets.
862 1.62 apb
863 1.151 lukem Note: The mac68k port still uses an older method of
864 1.104 wiz creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1)
865 1.104 wiz utility, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be
866 1.105 wiz installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools.
867 1.56 apb
868 1.105 wiz iso-image-source
869 1.64 jnemeth Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the
870 1.114 snj RELEASEDIR/images directory. The CD-ROM file system will
871 1.114 snj have a layout as described in release(7). It will have top
872 1.64 jnemeth level directories for the machine type and source.
873 1.64 jnemeth
874 1.64 jnemeth For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and
875 1.104 wiz will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based

883 1.104 wiz equivalent.
884 1.64 jnemeth
885 1.151 lukem Note: Other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in the
886 1.151 lukem RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom directory
887 1.151 lukem by "make release". These smaller images usually contain

897 1.105 wiz install-image
898 1.98 apb Create a bootable NetBSD installation disk image in the
899 1.127 plunky RELEASEDIR/images directory. The installation disk image
900 1.127 plunky is suitable for copying to bootable USB flash memory
901 1.127 plunky sticks, etc., for machines which are able to boot from such
902 1.127 plunky devices. The file system in the bootable disk image will
903 1.127 plunky have a layout as described in release(7).
904 1.97 tsutsui
905 1.97 tsutsui The installation image is bootable, and will automatically
906 1.97 tsutsui run the sysinst(8) menu-based installation program, which
907 1.98 apb can be used to install or upgrade a NetBSD system. The
908 1.98 apb image also contains tools that may be useful in repairing a
909 1.98 apb damaged NetBSD installation.
910 1.97 tsutsui
911 1.126 wiz Before "make install-image" is attempted, RELEASEDIR must
912 1.126 wiz be populated by "make release" or equivalent. The build
913 1.126 wiz must have been performed with MKUNPRIVED=yes because "make
914 1.126 wiz install-image" relies on information in DESTDIR/METALOG.
915 1.97 tsutsui
916 1.120 pgoyette live-image Create NetBSD live images in the RELEASEDIR/images
917 1.104 wiz directory. The live image contains all necessary files to
918 1.104 wiz boot NetBSD up to multi-user mode, including all files
919 1.104 wiz which should be extracted during installation, NetBSD
920 1.104 wiz disklabel, bootloaders, etc.
921 1.104 wiz
922 1.104 wiz The live image is suitable for use as a disk image in
923 1.104 wiz virtual machine environments such as QEMU, and also useful
924 1.104 wiz to boot NetBSD from a USB flash memory stick on a real
925 1.98 apb machine, without the need for installation.
926 1.97 tsutsui
927 1.126 wiz Before "make live-image" is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be
928 1.126 wiz populated by "make release" or equivalent. The build must
929 1.126 wiz have been performed with MKUNPRIVED=yes because "make
930 1.126 wiz install-image" relies on information in DESTDIR/METALOG.
931 1.97 tsutsui
932 1.105 wiz regression-tests
933 1.20 lukem Can only be run after building the regression tests in the
934 1.126 wiz directory "regress". Runs those compiled regression tests
935 1.151 lukem on the local host.
936 1.151 lukem
937 1.151 lukem Note: Most tests are now managed instead using atf(7); this
938 1.151 lukem target should probably run those as well but currently does
939 1.151 lukem not.
940 1.1 tv
941 1.105 wiz The "build.sh" script
942 1.96 apb This script file is a shell script designed to build the entire NetBSD
943 1.104 wiz system on any host with a suitable modern shell and some common
944 1.105 wiz utilities. The required shell features are described under the HOST_SH
945 1.104 wiz variable.
946 1.96 apb
947 1.96 apb If a host system's default shell does support the required features, then
948 1.96 apb we suggest that you explicitly specify a suitable shell using a command
949 1.96 apb like
950 1.96 apb
951 1.105 wiz /path/to/suitable/shell build.sh [options]
952 1.96 apb
953 1.105 wiz The above command will usually enable build.sh to automatically set
954 1.105 wiz HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell, but if that fails, then the following
955 1.96 apb set of commands may be used instead:
956 1.96 apb
957 1.105 wiz HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell
958 1.96 apb export HOST_SH
959 1.105 wiz ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options]
960 1.96 apb
961 1.105 wiz If build.sh detects that it is being executed under an unsuitable shell,
962 1.148 lukem it attempts to exec a suitable shell instead, or shows an error message.
963 1.105 wiz If HOST_SH is not set explicitly, then build.sh sets a default using
964 1.96 apb heuristics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell under which
965 1.105 wiz build.sh is executed (if that can be determined), or using the first copy
966 1.105 wiz of sh found in PATH.
967 1.1 tv
968 1.1 tv All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system
969 1.126 wiz should make use of build.sh rather than just running "make". This way,
970 1.104 wiz the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host
971 1.126 wiz system has an older or incompatible "make" program.
972 1.1 tv
973 1.105 wiz When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are
974 1.1 tv set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list
975 1.105 wiz of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are
976 1.1 tv noted where applicable.
977 1.1 tv
978 1.105 wiz The following operations are supported by build.sh:
979 1.22 lukem
980 1.126 wiz build Build the system as per "make build". Before the main part
981 1.126 wiz of the build commences, this command runs the obj operation
982 1.126 wiz (unless the -o option is given), "make cleandir" (unless
983 1.126 wiz the -u option is given), and the tools operation.
984 1.22 lukem
985 1.126 wiz distribution Build a full distribution as per "make distribution". This
986 1.126 wiz command first runs the build operation.
987 1.22 lukem
988 1.126 wiz release Build a full release as per "make release". This command
989 1.105 wiz first runs the distribution operation.
990 1.22 lukem
991 1.148 lukem help Show a help message, and exit.
992 1.148 lukem
993 1.105 wiz makewrapper Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is
994 1.104 wiz automatically performed for any of the other operations.
995 1.23 lukem
996 1.126 wiz cleandir Perform "make cleandir".
997 1.75 lukem
998 1.126 wiz obj Perform "make obj".
999 1.22 lukem
1000 1.105 wiz tools Build and install the host tools from src/tools. This
1001 1.126 wiz command will first run "make obj" and "make cleandir" in
1002 1.126 wiz the tools subdirectory unless the -o or -u options
1003 1.104 wiz (respectively) are given.
1004 1.22 lukem
1005 1.126 wiz install=idir Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using "make
1006 1.151 lukem installworld".
1007 1.151 lukem
1008 1.151 lukem Note: Files that are part of the "etc" or "xetc" sets will
1009 1.151 lukem not be installed, unless overridden by the INSTALLSETS
1010 1.151 lukem environment variable.
1011 1.35 lukem
1012 1.105 wiz kernel=kconf Build a new kernel. The kconf argument is the name of a
1013 1.105 wiz configuration file suitable for use by config(1). If kconf
1014 1.22 lukem does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file
1015 1.105 wiz is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which
1016 1.105 wiz is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf. The new kernel will be
1017 1.105 wiz built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically
1018 1.105 wiz sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory.
1019 1.70 dholland
1020 1.105 wiz This command does not imply the tools command; run the
1021 1.105 wiz tools command first unless it is certain that the tools
1022 1.70 dholland already exist and are up to date.
1023 1.70 dholland
1024 1.126 wiz This command will run "make cleandir" on the kernel in
1025 1.105 wiz question first unless the -u option is given.
1026 1.22 lukem
1027 1.106 wiz kernel.gdb=kconf
1028 1.106 wiz Build a new kernel with debug information. Similar to the
1029 1.106 wiz above kernel=kconf operation, but creates a netbsd.gdb file
1030 1.106 wiz alongside of the kernel netbsd, which contains a full
1031 1.106 wiz symbol table and can be used for debugging (for example
1032 1.106 wiz with a cross-gdb built by MKCROSSGDB).
1033 1.106 wiz
1034 1.113 uebayasi kernels This command will build all kernels defined in port
1035 1.113 uebayasi specific release build procedure.
1036 1.111 uebayasi
1037 1.112 uebayasi This command internally calls the kernel=kconf operation
1038 1.112 uebayasi for each found kernel configuration file.
1039 1.111 uebayasi
1040 1.105 wiz modules This command will build kernel modules and install them
1041 1.105 wiz into DESTDIR.
1042 1.86 jnemeth
1043 1.105 wiz releasekernel=kconf
1044 1.70 dholland Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel previously built by
1045 1.105 wiz kernel=kconf into
1046 1.105 wiz RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/kernel, usually as
1047 1.126 wiz netbsd-kconf.gz, although the "netbsd" prefix is determined
1048 1.126 wiz from the "config" directives in kconf.
1049 1.24 lukem
1050 1.126 wiz sets Perform "make sets".
1051 1.31 lukem
1052 1.126 wiz sourcesets Perform "make sourcesets".
1053 1.22 lukem
1054 1.126 wiz syspkgs Perform "make syspkgs".
1055 1.54 apb
1056 1.126 wiz iso-image Perform "make iso-image".
1057 1.56 apb
1058 1.105 wiz iso-image-source
1059 1.126 wiz Perform "make iso-image-source".
1060 1.65 jnemeth
1061 1.105 wiz install-image
1062 1.126 wiz Perform "make install-image".
1063 1.97 tsutsui
1064 1.126 wiz live-image Perform "make live-image".
1065 1.97 tsutsui
1066 1.148 lukem list-arch Show a list of valid MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH settings, the
1067 1.148 lukem default MACHINE_ARCH for each MACHINE, and aliases for
1068 1.109 apb MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH pairs, and then exits. The -m or -a
1069 1.109 apb options (or both) may be used to specify glob patterns that
1070 1.109 apb will be used to narrow the list of results; for example,
1071 1.131 leot "build.sh -m 'evb*' -a '*arm*' list-arch" will list all
1072 1.109 apb known MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH values in which either MACHINE
1073 1.109 apb or ALIAS matches the pattern `evb*', and MACHINE_ARCH
1074 1.109 apb matches the pattern `*arm*'.
1075 1.109 apb
1076 1.105 wiz The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh
1077 1.51 wiz operations described above:
1078 1.1 tv
1079 1.109 apb -a arch Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch. See the -m option for
1080 1.109 apb more information.
1081 1.9 thorpej
1082 1.105 wiz -B buildid
1083 1.105 wiz Set the value of BUILDID to buildid. This will also append the
1084 1.126 wiz build identifier to the name of the "make" wrapper script so
1085 1.37 lukem that the resulting name is of the form
1086 1.126 wiz "nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID".
1087 1.1 tv
1088 1.105 wiz -C cdextras
1089 1.105 wiz Append cdextras to the CDEXTRA variable, which is a space-
1090 1.104 wiz separated list of files or directories that will be added to
1091 1.126 wiz the CD-ROM image that may be create by the "iso-image" or
1092 1.126 wiz "iso-image-source" operations. Files will be added to the root
1093 1.126 wiz of the CD-ROM image, whereas directories will be copied
1094 1.87 apb recursively. If relative paths are specified, they will be
1095 1.87 apb converted to absolute paths before being used. Multiple paths
1096 1.105 wiz may be specified via multiple -C options, or via a single
1097 1.87 apb option whose argument contains multiple space-separated paths.
1098 1.66 jnemeth
1099 1.136 uwe -c compiler
1100 1.136 uwe Select the compiler for the toolchain to build NetBSD and for

1108 1.136 uwe HOST_CC and HOST_CXX.
1109 1.136 uwe
1110 1.105 wiz -D dest Set the value of DESTDIR to dest. If a relative path is
1111 1.104 wiz specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
1112 1.104 wiz being used.
1113 1.104 wiz
1114 1.105 wiz -E Set `expert' mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and
1115 1.105 wiz allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for
1116 1.105 wiz builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when
1117 1.104 wiz building as a non-root user.

1137 1.105 wiz For instance, if the source directory is /usr/src, a setting of
1138 1.126 wiz "-M /usr/obj" will place build-time files under
1139 1.105 wiz /usr/obj/usr/src/bin, /usr/obj/usr/src/lib,
1140 1.105 wiz /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin, and so forth.
1141 1.88 apb
1142 1.73 apb If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an
1143 1.105 wiz absolute path before being used. build.sh imposes the
1144 1.105 wiz restriction that the argument to the -M option must not begin
1145 1.126 wiz with a "$" (dollar sign) character; otherwise it would be too
1146 1.104 wiz difficult to determine whether the value is an absolute or a
1147 1.104 wiz relative path. If the directory does not already exist,
1148 1.105 wiz build.sh will create it.
1149 1.18 lukem
1150 1.109 apb -m mach Set the value of MACHINE to mach, unless the mach argument is
1151 1.109 apb an alias that refers to a MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH pair, in which
1152 1.109 apb case both MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH are set from the alias.
1153 1.109 apb Such aliases are interpreted entirely by build.sh; they are not
1154 1.109 apb used by any other part of the build system. The MACHINE_ARCH
1155 1.109 apb setting implied by mach will override any value of MACHINE_ARCH
1156 1.109 apb in the process environment, but will not override a value set
1157 1.109 apb by the -a option. All cross builds require -m, but if unset on
1158 1.109 apb a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE will be detected and
1159 1.109 apb used automatically.
1160 1.109 apb
1161 1.109 apb See the list-arch operation for a way to get a list of valid
1162 1.109 apb MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH settings.
1163 1.1 tv
1164 1.105 wiz -N noiselevel
1165 1.126 wiz Set the "noisyness" level of the build, by setting MAKEVERBOSE
1166 1.126 wiz to noiselevel.
1167 1.45 lukem
1168 1.105 wiz -n Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do
1169 1.126 wiz not make any changes. This is similar in concept to "make -n".
1170 1.1 tv
1171 1.105 wiz -O obj Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will
1172 1.105 wiz place the built object files under obj. Unsets
1173 1.105 wiz MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.
1174 1.88 apb
1175 1.126 wiz For instance, a setting of "-O /usr/obj" will place build-time
1176 1.126 wiz files under /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, /usr/obj/usr.bin, and
1177 1.126 wiz so forth.
1178 1.88 apb
1179 1.88 apb If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an
1180 1.105 wiz absolute path before being used. build.sh imposes the
1181 1.105 wiz restriction that the argument to the -O option must not contain
1182 1.126 wiz a "$" (dollar sign) character. If the directory does not
1183 1.105 wiz already exist, build.sh will create it.
1184 1.73 apb
1185 1.105 wiz In normal use, exactly one of the -M or -O options should be
1186 1.105 wiz specified. If neither -M nor -O is specified, then a default
1187 1.78 apb object directory will be chosen according to rules in
1188 1.78 apb <bsd.obj.mk>. Relying on this default is not recommended
1189 1.78 apb because it is determined by complex rules that are influenced
1190 1.78 apb by the values of several variables and by the location of the
1191 1.78 apb source directory.
1192 1.18 lukem
1193 1.151 lukem Note: Placing the obj directory location outside of the default
1194 1.151 lukem source tree hierarchy makes it easier to manually clear out old
1195 1.151 lukem files in the event the "make cleandir" operation is unable to
1196 1.151 lukem do so. (See CAVEATS below.)
1197 1.151 lukem
1198 1.151 lukem Note: The use of one of -M or -O is the only means of building
1199 1.151 lukem multiple machine architecture userlands from the same source
1200 1.151 lukem tree without cleaning between builds (in which case, one would
1201 1.151 lukem specify distinct obj locations for each).
1202 1.109 apb
1203 1.126 wiz -o Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to "no". Otherwise, it will be
1204 1.126 wiz automatically set to "yes". This default is opposite to the
1205 1.105 wiz behaviour when not using build.sh.
1206 1.1 tv
1207 1.148 lukem -P Set the value of MKREPRO and MKREPRO_TIMESTAMP to the latest
1208 1.148 lukem source CVS timestamp for reproducible builds.
1209 1.148 lukem
1210 1.105 wiz -R rel Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel. If a relative path is
1211 1.59 apb specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
1212 1.59 apb being used.
1213 1.18 lukem
1214 1.105 wiz -r Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building
1215 1.1 tv (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting
1216 1.105 wiz DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory.
1217 1.1 tv
1218 1.105 wiz -S seed Change the value of BUILDSEED to seed. This should rarely be
1219 1.72 perry necessary.
1220 1.72 perry
1221 1.105 wiz -T tools Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools. If a relative path is
1222 1.104 wiz specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
1223 1.126 wiz being used. If set, the bootstrap "make" will only be rebuilt
1224 1.126 wiz if the source files for make(1) have changed.
1225 1.104 wiz
1226 1.105 wiz -U Set MKUNPRIVED=yes.
1227 1.104 wiz
1228 1.105 wiz -u Set MKUPDATE=yes.
1229 1.104 wiz
1230 1.105 wiz -V var=[value]
1231 1.105 wiz Set the environment variable var to an optional value. This is
1232 1.105 wiz propagated to the nbmake wrapper.
1233 1.105 wiz
1234 1.105 wiz -w wrapper
1235 1.105 wiz Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom
1236 1.105 wiz location, specified by wrapper. This allows, for instance, to
1237 1.151 lukem place the wrapper in PATH automatically.
1238 1.151 lukem
1239 1.151 lukem Note: wrapper is the full name of the file, not just a
1240 1.151 lukem directory name. If a relative path is specified, it will be
1241 1.151 lukem converted to an absolute path before being used.
1242 1.1 tv
1243 1.105 wiz -X x11src
1244 1.105 wiz Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src. If a relative path is
1245 1.59 apb specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
1246 1.59 apb being used.
1247 1.49 lukem
1248 1.105 wiz -x Set MKX11=yes.
1249 1.49 lukem
1250 1.105 wiz -Z var Unset ("zap") the environment variable var. This is propagated
1251 1.105 wiz to the nbmake wrapper.
1252 1.40 lukem
1253 1.148 lukem -? Show a help message, and exit.
1254 1.148 lukem
1255 1.105 wiz The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script
1256 1.105 wiz If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script
1257 1.105 wiz will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building
1258 1.1 tv subtrees on a cross-compile host.
1259 1.1 tv
1260 1.105 wiz nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call
1261 1.126 wiz the up-to-date version of "nbmake" installed into TOOLDIR/bin with
1262 1.105 wiz several key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and
1263 1.105 wiz TOOLDIR. nbmake-MACHINE will also set variables specified with -V, and
1264 1.105 wiz unset variables specified with -Z.
1265 1.40 lukem
1266 1.105 wiz This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called
1267 1.1 tv with an absolute path.

1269 1.105 wiz EXAMPLES
1270 1.151 lukem 1. % ./build.sh [OPTIONS] tools kernel=GENERIC
1271 1.28 lukem
1272 1.28 lukem Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and
1273 1.28 lukem build a new GENERIC kernel.
1274 1.28 lukem
1275 1.151 lukem 2. % ./build.sh [OPTIONS] -U distribution
1276 1.28 lukem
1277 1.105 wiz Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR
1278 1.148 lukem directory that build.sh selects (and will show).
1279 1.28 lukem
1280 1.151 lukem 3. # ./build.sh [OPTIONS] -U install=/
1281 1.28 lukem
1282 1.105 wiz As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2.
1283 1.105 wiz Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the
1284 1.105 wiz permissions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the
1285 1.105 wiz files as they're copied to /.
1286 1.28 lukem
1287 1.151 lukem 4. % ./build.sh [OPTIONS] -U -u release
1288 1.28 lukem
1289 1.105 wiz Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and
1290 1.148 lukem RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will show).
1291 1.126 wiz MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the "make cleandir", so that if
1292 1.126 wiz this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion of
1293 1.126 wiz the release build.
1294 1.16 lukem
1295 1.105 wiz OBSOLETE VARIABLES
1296 1.105 wiz NBUILDJOBS Use the make(1) option -j instead.
1297 1.15 lukem
1298 1.105 wiz USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
1299 1.15 lukem The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use
1300 1.105 wiz TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes.

1313 1.109 apb CAVEATS
1314 1.109 apb After significant updates to third-party components in the source tree,
1315 1.126 wiz the "make cleandir" operation may be insufficient to clean out old files
1316 1.126 wiz in object directories. Instead, one may have to manually remove the
1317 1.126 wiz files. Consult the UPDATING file for notices concerning this.
