BUILDING revision 1.59.2.1
1 BUILDING(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual BUILDING(8) 2 3 NAME 4 BUILDING -- Procedure for building NetBSD from source code. 5 6 STATUS 7 This document is a work-in-progress. As such, the information described 8 here may not match the reality of the build system as of this writing. 9 Once this document is completely in sync with reality, this paragraph 10 will be removed. 11 12 Discrepancies between this documentation and the current reality of 13 implementation are noted specially, as with the note below: 14 15 Note: This document applies only to platforms which use the new toolchain 16 as indicated by the default setting of TOOLCHAIN_MISSING in <bsd.own.mk>. 17 Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new toolchain should 18 continue building traditionally, using the notes specified in the file 19 UPDATING. 20 21 REQUIREMENTS 22 NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems. 23 The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the 24 same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or 25 OS). 26 27 This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the 28 host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture. The 29 host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the 30 toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of 31 the NetBSD build process. (See the environment variables section below 32 if you need to override or manually select your compilers.) 33 34 FILES 35 Source tree layout 36 doc/BUILDING.mdoc 37 This document (in -mdoc troff format; the original copy). 38 39 BUILDING This document (in plaintext). 40 41 tools/compat/README 42 Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on non- 43 NetBSD platforms. 44 45 Makefile The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for 46 native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of 47 NetBSD make(1). (For building from out-of-date systems or 48 on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.) 49 50 UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of 51 NetBSD. It is important to read this file before every 52 build of an updated source tree. 53 54 build.sh Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host 55 build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch. Can be 56 used for both native and cross builds, and should be used 57 instead of make(1) for any source tree that is updated and 58 recompiled regularly. 59 60 crypto/dist/, dist/, gnu/dist/ 61 Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without man- 62 gling the existing build structure. Other source trees in 63 bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1) ``reachover'' 64 Makefile semantics when building these programs for a 65 native host. 66 67 distrib/, etc/ 68 Sources for items used when making a full release snap- 69 shot, such as files installed in DESTDIR/etc on the desti- 70 nation system, boot media, and release notes. 71 72 regress/ Regression test harness. Can be cross-compiled, but only 73 run natively. 74 75 sys/ NetBSD kernel sources. 76 77 tools/ ``Reachover'' build structure for the host build tools. 78 This has a special method of determining out-of-date sta- 79 tus. 80 81 bin/ ... usr.sbin/ 82 Sources to the NetBSD userland (non-kernel) programs. If 83 any of these directories are missing, they will be skipped 84 during the build. 85 86 x11/ ``Reachover'' build structure for X11R6; the source is in 87 X11SRCDIR. 88 89 Build tree layout 90 The NetBSD build tree is described in hier(7), and the release layout is 91 described in release(7). 92 93 CONFIGURATION 94 Environment variables 95 Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds. 96 97 HOST_SH Path name to a POSIX-compliant shell. If this is not 98 set explicitly, then the default is set using heuris- 99 tics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell 100 under which build.sh is executed (if that can be deter- 101 mined), or using the first copy of sh found in PATH. 102 If the host system's /bin/sh is not POSIX-compliant, we 103 suggest that you build using commands like 104 105 HOST_SH=/path/to/working/shell 106 export HOST_SH 107 ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options] 108 109 HOST_CC Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain. 110 111 HOST_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain. 112 113 MACHINE Machine type. 114 115 MACHINE_ARCH Machine architecture. 116 117 MAKE Path name to invoke make(1) as. 118 119 MAKEFLAGS Flags to invoke make(1) with. 120 121 MAKEOBJDIR Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc- 122 tory. The value is subjected to variable expansion by 123 make(1). Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined. 124 MAKEOBJDIR can only be provided in the environment or 125 via the -O flag of build.sh. 126 127 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Top level directory of the object directory tree. If 128 specified, must be an absolute path. If this is 129 defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the 130 .OBJDIR for the current directory. The current direc- 131 tory may be read only. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only be 132 provided in the environment or via the -M flag of 133 build.sh. 134 135 "make" variables 136 Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds. Unless other- 137 wise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environ- 138 ment or the make(1) configuration file specified by MAKECONF. 139 140 BUILDID Identifier for the build. The identifier will be appended to 141 object directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1) 142 configuration file in order to set additional build parame- 143 ters, such as compiler flags. 144 145 DESTDIR Directory to contain the built NetBSD system. If set, spe- 146 cial options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent 147 their default use of the host system's /usr/include, 148 /usr/lib, and so forth. This pathname must be an absolute 149 path, and should not end with a slash (/) character. (For 150 installation into the system's root directory, set DESTDIR to 151 an empty string, not to ``/''). The directory must reside on 152 a file system which supports long file names and hard links. 153 154 Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset other- 155 wise. 156 157 Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE (in 158 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode 159 160 MAKECONF The name of the make(1) configuration file. Only settable in 161 the process environment. 162 163 Default: ``/etc/mk.conf'' 164 165 MAKEVERBOSE 166 Level of verbosity of status messages. Supported values: 167 168 0 No descriptive messages are shown. 169 170 1 Descriptive messages are shown. 171 172 2 Descriptive messages (prefixed with a `#') and command 173 output is not suppressed. 174 175 Default: 2 176 177 MKCATPAGES Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether prefor- 178 matted plaintext manual pages will be created during a build. 179 180 Default: ``yes'' 181 182 MKCRYPTO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether crypto- 183 graphic code will be included in a build; provided for the 184 benefit of countries that do not allow strong cryptography. 185 Will not affect use of the standard low-security password 186 encryption system, crypt(3). 187 188 Default: ``yes'' 189 190 MKDOC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether system 191 documentation destined for DESTDIR/usr/share/doc will be 192 installed during a build. 193 194 Default: ``yes'' 195 196 MKHOSTOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set to ``yes'', then for 197 programs intended to be run on the compile host, the name, 198 release, and architecture of the host operating system will 199 be suffixed to the name of the object directory created by 200 ``make obj''. (This allows multiple host systems to compile 201 NetBSD for a single target.) If set to ``no'', then programs 202 built to be run on the compile host will use the same object 203 directory names as programs built to be run on the target. 204 205 Default: ``no'' 206 207 MKINFO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether GNU Info 208 files, used for the documentation for most of the compilation 209 tools, will be created and installed during a build. 210 211 Default: ``yes'' 212 213 MKLINT Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether lint(1) 214 will be run against portions of the NetBSD source code during 215 the build, and whether lint libraries will be installed into 216 DESTDIR/usr/libdata/lint. 217 218 Default: ``yes'' 219 220 MKMAN Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether manual 221 pages will be installed during a build. 222 223 Default: ``yes'' 224 225 MKNLS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether Native 226 Language System locale zone files will be compiled and 227 installed during a build. 228 229 Default: ``yes'' 230 231 MKOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether object 232 directories will be created when running ``make obj''. If 233 set to ``no'', then all built files will be located inside 234 the regular source tree. 235 236 Default: ``yes'' 237 238 MKPIC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether shared 239 objects and libraries will be created and installed during a 240 build. If set to ``no'', the entire built system will be 241 statically linked. 242 243 Default: Platform dependent. As of this writing, all plat- 244 forms except sh3 default to ``yes''. 245 246 MKPICINSTALL 247 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether the ar(1) 248 format libraries (lib*_pic.a), used to generate shared 249 libraries, are installed during a build. 250 251 Default: ``yes'' 252 253 MKPROFILE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether profiled 254 libraries (lib*_p.a) will be built and installed during a 255 build. 256 257 Default: ``yes''; however, some platforms turn off MKPROFILE 258 by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled 259 code. 260 261 MKSHARE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether files 262 destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and 263 installed during a build. If set to ``no'', then all of 264 MKCATPAGES, MKDOC, MKINFO, MKMAN, and MKNLS will be set to 265 ``no'' unconditionally. 266 267 Default: ``yes'' 268 269 MKTTINTERP Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. For X builds, decides if 270 the TrueType bytecode interpreter is turned on. See 271 http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for details. 272 273 Default: ``no'' 274 275 MKUNPRIVED Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether an 276 unprivileged install will occur. The user, group, permis- 277 sions, and file flags, will not be set on the installed 278 items; instead the information will be appended to a file 279 called METALOG in DESTDIR. The contents of METALOG are used 280 during the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure 281 that the appropriate file ownership is stored. 282 283 Default: ``no'' 284 285 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether all 286 install operations intended to write to DESTDIR will compare 287 file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase 288 if the destination files are up-to-date. This also has 289 implications on full builds (see next subsection). 290 291 Default: ``no'' 292 293 MKX11 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether X11R6 is 294 built from X11SRCDIR. 295 296 Default: ``no'' 297 298 TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If specified, 299 must be an absolute path. This directory should be unique to 300 a given host system and NetBSD source tree. (However, multi- 301 ple targets may share the same TOOLDIR; the target-dependent 302 files have unique names.) If unset, a default based on the 303 uname(1) information of the host platform will be created in 304 the .OBJDIR of src. 305 306 Default: Unset. 307 308 USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by TOOLDIR should be 309 used as part of a build in progress. Must be set to ``yes'' 310 if cross-compiling. 311 312 yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR. 313 314 no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build 315 native compilation tool components that are version- 316 specific for that tool. 317 318 never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building 319 native tool components. This is similar to the tradi- 320 tional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that 321 the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in 322 order to build the tree successfully. This may cause 323 build or runtime problems when building the whole 324 NetBSD source tree. 325 326 Default: ``yes'' if building all or part of a whole NetBSD 327 source tree (detected automatically); ``no'' otherwise (to 328 preserve traditional semantics of the <bsd.*.mk> make(1) 329 include files). 330 331 X11SRCDIR Directory containing the X11R6 source. If specified, must be 332 an absolute path. The main X11R6 source is found in 333 X11SRCDIR/xfree/xc. 334 335 Default: ``/usr/xsrc'' 336 337 "make" variables for full builds 338 These variables only affect the top level ``Makefile'' and do not affect 339 manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code. 340 341 INSTALLWORLDDIR Location for the ``make installworld'' target to install 342 to. If specified, must be an absolute path. 343 344 Default: ``/'' 345 346 MKOBJDIRS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether 347 object directories will be created automatically (via a 348 ``make obj'' pass) at the start of a build. 349 350 Default: ``no'' 351 352 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set, then in addi- 353 tion to the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above, 354 this implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., ``make 355 cleandir'' is avoided). 356 357 Default: ``no'' 358 359 NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the make(1) option -j, instead (see 360 below) 361 362 Default: Unset. 363 364 NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full 365 build. This has the effect of allowing only changed 366 files in a source tree to be recompiled. This can speed 367 up builds when updating only a few files in the tree. 368 369 Default: Unset. 370 371 NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full 372 build. This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful 373 on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or 374 where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have 375 not changed. 376 377 Default: Unset. 378 379 NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full 380 build. This has the effect of preventing make(1) from 381 thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply 382 because the system include files have changed. However, 383 this option should not be used when updating the entire 384 NetBSD source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use 385 MKUPDATE=yes in that case. 386 387 Default: Unset. 388 389 RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7) 390 layout will be written at the end of a ``make release''. 391 If specified, must be an absolute path. 392 393 Default: Unset. 394 395 Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in 396 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode 397 398 BUILDING 399 "make" command line options 400 This is not a summary of all the options available to make(1); only the 401 options used most frequently with NetBSD builds are listed here. 402 403 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel. Makefiles should 404 use .WAIT or have explicit dependencies as necessary to 405 enforce build ordering. If you see build failures with -j, 406 please save complete build logs so the failures can be ana- 407 lyzed. 408 409 -m dir Specify the default directory for searching for system Make- 410 file segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files. When building any 411 full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the 412 ``share/mk'' directory in the source tree. (This is set auto- 413 matically when building from the top level.) 414 415 -n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not 416 actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to 417 take place. 418 419 -V var Print make(1)'s idea of the value of var. Does not build any 420 targets. 421 422 var=value Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting speci- 423 fied by the process environment, the MAKECONF configuration 424 file, or the system Makefile segments. 425 426 "make" targets 427 These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of 428 the NetBSD source code. It is recommended that none of these be used 429 from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, ``make obj'' and 430 ``make cleandir'' are useful in that context. 431 432 all Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation. 433 434 clean Remove program and library object code files. 435 436 cleandir Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, 437 dependency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other 438 files known to be created at build time. 439 440 depend Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed 441 information about the dependencies of source code on header 442 files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a 443 dependency changes. 444 445 dependall Does a ``make depend'' immediately followed by a ``make all''. 446 This improves cache locality of the build since both passes 447 read the source files in their entirety. 448 449 distclean Synonym for cleandir. 450 451 includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed 452 before any system libraries or programs can be built. 453 454 install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR. 455 Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, 456 DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied 457 configuration data from being overwritten. 458 459 lint Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and 460 generate system-installed lint libraries. 461 462 obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead 463 of building directly in the source tree. 464 465 tags Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1) 466 and vi(1) text editors. 467 468 "make" targets for the top level 469 Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source 470 level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree. 471 472 build Build the entire NetBSD system. This orders portions of 473 the source tree such that prerequisites will be built in 474 the proper order. 475 476 distribution Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution 477 into DESTDIR, including files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, 478 DESTDIR/root and DESTDIR/var. 479 480 buildworld As per ``make distribution'', except that it ensures that 481 DESTDIR is not the root directory. 482 483 installworld Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR 484 (which defaults to the root directory). Ensures that 485 INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross compil- 486 ing. 487 488 The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a list 489 of distribution sets to be installed. By default, all sets 490 except ``etc'' and ``xetc'' are installed (so most files in 491 INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or modified). 492 493 Note: Before performing this operation with 494 INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you 495 upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this 496 operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to 497 update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc and that you use 498 postinstall(8) to check for inconsistencies (and possibly 499 to fix them). 500 501 sets Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into 502 RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/binary/sets. Should be run after ``make 503 distribution'' (as ``make build'' does not install all of 504 the required files). 505 506 sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into 507 RELEASEDIR/source/sets. 508 509 syspkgs Create syspkgs from DESTDIR into 510 RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/binary/syspkgs. Should be run after 511 ``make distribution'' (as ``make build'' does not install 512 all of the required files). 513 514 release Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution 515 media, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and 516 then package the system into a standard release layout as 517 described by release(7). This requires that RELEASEDIR be 518 set (see above). 519 520 iso-image Create a CD-ROM image in 521 RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/installation/cdrom. RELEASEDIR must 522 already have been populated by ``make release'' or equiva- 523 lent. This requires the mkisofs(1) utility, which is not 524 part of NetBSD, but which can be installed from 525 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 526 527 regression-tests 528 Can only be run after building the regression tests in the 529 directory ``regress''. Runs the compiled regression tests 530 on the local host. 531 532 The "build.sh" script 533 This script file is a Bourne shell script designed to build the entire 534 NetBSD system on any host with a Bourne shell in /bin/sh, including many 535 that are not POSIX compliant. Note that if a host system's /bin/sh is 536 unusually old and broken, the Korn Shell (/bin/ksh), if available, may be 537 a usable alternative. 538 539 All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system 540 should make use of build.sh rather than just running ``make''. This way, 541 the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host sys- 542 tem has an older or incompatible ``make'' program. 543 544 When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are 545 set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list 546 of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are 547 noted where applicable. 548 549 The following operations are supported by build.sh: 550 551 build Build the system as per ``make build''. This option 552 implies the obj and tools operations. 553 554 distribution Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''. 555 This option implies the build operation. 556 557 release Build a full release as per ``make release''. This option 558 implies the distribution operation. 559 560 makewrapper Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is auto- 561 matically performed for any of the other operations. 562 563 obj Perform ``make obj''. 564 565 tools Build and install the host tools from src/tools. 566 567 install=idir Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make 568 installworld''. Note that files that are part of the 569 ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed. 570 571 kernel=kconf Build a new kernel. The kconf argument is the name of a 572 configuration file suitable for use by config(1). If kconf 573 does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file 574 is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which 575 is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf. The new kernel will be 576 built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically 577 sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory. 578 In order to ensure that the kernel is built using up-to- 579 date tools, it is strongly recommended that the tools be 580 rebuilt (using the tools operation). 581 582 releasekernel=kconf 583 Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel built by 584 kernel=kconf into RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/binary/kernel, usually 585 as netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is 586 determined from the ``config'' directives in kconf. 587 588 sets Perform ``make sets''. 589 590 sourcesets Perform ``make sourcesets''. 591 592 syspkgs Perform ``make syspkgs''. 593 594 iso-image Perform ``make iso-image''. 595 596 The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh 597 operations described above: 598 599 -a arch Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch. 600 601 -B buildid 602 Set the value of BUILDID to buildid. This will also append the 603 build idenfitier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so 604 that the resulting name is of the form 605 ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''. 606 607 -D dest Set the value of DESTDIR to dest. If a relative path is speci- 608 fied, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 609 used. 610 611 -E Set `expert' mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and 612 allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for 613 builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build- 614 ing as a non-root user. 615 616 Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing 617 when you use this option. 618 619 -h Print a help message. 620 621 -j njob Passed through to make(1). Makefiles should use .WAIT or have 622 explicit dependancies as necessary to enforce build ordering. 623 If you see build failures with -j, please save complete build 624 logs so the failures can be analyzed. 625 626 -M obj Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj. If a relative path is specified, 627 it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. 628 Unsets MAKEOBJDIR. 629 630 -m mach Set the value of MACHINE to mach. This will also override any 631 value of MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value 632 deduced from mach, unless -a is specified, or mach is a special 633 case listed below. All cross builds require -m, but if unset 634 on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE will be detected 635 and used automatically. 636 637 Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH. For a 638 given value of mach, the following MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH 639 values will result: 640 641 mach MACHINE MACHINE_ARCH 642 evbmips evbmips (not set) 643 evbmips-eb evbmips mipseb 644 evbmips-el evbmips mipsel 645 evbsh3 evbsh3 (not set) 646 evbsh3-eb evbsh3 sh3eb 647 evbsh3-el evbsh3 sh3el 648 sbmips sbmips (not set) 649 sbmips-eb sbmips mipseb 650 sbmips-el sbmips mipsel 651 652 -N noiselevel 653 Set the ``noisyness'' level of the build, by setting 654 MAKEVERBOSE to noiselevel. 655 656 -n Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do 657 not make any changes. This is similar in concept to ``make 658 -n''. 659 660 -O obj Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will 661 place the built object files under obj. If a relative path is 662 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 663 being used. For instance, a setting of /usr/obj will place 664 build-time files under /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, 665 /usr/obj/usr.bin, and so forth. Unsets MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. 666 667 -o Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''. Otherwise, it will be 668 automatically set to ``yes'' (which is opposite to the default 669 behaviour). 670 671 -R rel Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel. If a relative path is 672 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 673 being used. 674 675 -r Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building 676 (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting 677 DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory. 678 679 -T tools Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools. If a relative path is spec- 680 ified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 681 used. If set, the bootstrap ``make'' will only be rebuilt as 682 needed (when the source files for make(1) change). 683 684 -U Set MKUNPRIVED=yes. 685 686 -u Set MKUPDATE=yes. 687 688 -V var=[value] 689 Set the environment variable var to an optional value. This is 690 propagated to the nbmake wrapper. 691 692 -w wrapper 693 Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom loca- 694 tion, specified by wrapper. This allows, for instance, to 695 place the wrapper in PATH automatically. Note that wrapper is 696 the full name of the file, not just a directory name. If a 697 relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute 698 path before being used. 699 700 -X x11src 701 Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src. If a relative path is 702 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 703 being used. 704 705 -x Set MKX11=yes. 706 707 -Z var Unset ("zap") the environment variable var. This is propagated 708 to the nbmake wrapper. 709 710 The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script 711 If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script 712 will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building 713 subtrees on a cross-compile host. 714 715 nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call 716 the up-to-date version of ``nbmake'' installed into TOOLDIR/bin with sev- 717 eral key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and TOOLDIR. 718 build.sh will also set variables specified with -V, and unset variables 719 specified with -Z. 720 721 This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called 722 with an absolute path. 723 724 EXAMPLES 725 1. % ./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC 726 727 Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and 728 build a new GENERIC kernel. 729 730 2. % ./build.sh -U distribution 731 732 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR 733 directory that build.sh selects (and will display). 734 735 3. # ./build.sh -U install=/ 736 737 As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2. 738 Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the permis- 739 sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files 740 as they're copied to /. 741 742 4. % ./build.sh -U -u release 743 744 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and 745 RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display). 746 MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that 747 if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion 748 of the release build. 749 750 OBSOLETE VARIABLES 751 NBUILDJOBS Use the make(1) option -j, instead. 752 753 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN 754 The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use 755 TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes. 756 757 SEE ALSO 758 make(1), hier(7), release(7), etcupdate(8), postinstall(8), 759 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools 760 761 HISTORY 762 The build.sh based build scheme was introduced for NetBSD 1.6 as 763 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, and re-worked to TOOLCHAIN_MISSING after that. 764 765 BUGS 766 A few platforms are not yet using this build system. 767 768 NetBSD March 27, 2007 NetBSD 769
