BUILDING revision 1.75
1 BUILDING(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual BUILDING(8) 2 3 NAME 4 BUILDING -- Procedure for building NetBSD from source code. 5 6 REQUIREMENTS 7 NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems. 8 The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the 9 same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or 10 OS). 11 12 This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the 13 host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture. The 14 host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the 15 toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of 16 the NetBSD build process. (See the environment variables section below 17 if you need to override or manually select your compilers.) 18 19 FILES 20 Source tree layout 21 doc/BUILDING.mdoc 22 This document (in -mdoc troff format; the original copy). 23 24 BUILDING This document (in plaintext). 25 26 tools/compat/README 27 Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on non- 28 NetBSD platforms. 29 30 Makefile The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for 31 native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of 32 NetBSD make(1). (For building from out-of-date systems or 33 on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.) 34 35 UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of 36 NetBSD. It is important to read this file before every 37 build of an updated source tree. 38 39 build.sh Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host 40 build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch. Can be 41 used for both native and cross builds, and should be used 42 instead of make(1) for any source tree that is updated and 43 recompiled regularly. 44 45 crypto/dist/, dist/, gnu/dist/ 46 Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without man- 47 gling the existing build structure. Other source trees in 48 bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1) ``reachover'' 49 Makefile semantics when building these programs for a 50 native host. 51 52 distrib/, etc/ 53 Sources for items used when making a full release snap- 54 shot, such as files installed in DESTDIR/etc on the desti- 55 nation system, boot media, and release notes. 56 57 tests/, regress/ 58 Regression test harness. Can be cross-compiled, but only 59 run natively. tests/ uses the atf(7) test framework; 60 regress/ contains older tests that have not yet been 61 migrated to atf(7). 62 63 sys/ NetBSD kernel sources. 64 65 tools/ ``Reachover'' build structure for the host build tools. 66 This has a special method of determining out-of-date sta- 67 tus. 68 69 bin/ ... usr.sbin/ 70 Sources to the NetBSD userland (non-kernel) programs. If 71 any of these directories are missing, they will be skipped 72 during the build. 73 74 x11/ ``Reachover'' build structure for X11R6; the source is in 75 X11SRCDIR. 76 77 Build tree layout 78 The NetBSD build tree is described in hier(7), and the release layout is 79 described in release(7). 80 81 CONFIGURATION 82 Environment variables 83 Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds. 84 85 HOST_SH Path name to a POSIX-compliant shell. If this is not 86 set explicitly, then the default is set using heuris- 87 tics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell 88 under which build.sh is executed (if that can be deter- 89 mined), or using the first copy of sh found in PATH. 90 If the host system's /bin/sh is not POSIX-compliant, we 91 suggest that you build using commands like 92 93 HOST_SH=/path/to/working/shell 94 export HOST_SH 95 ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options] 96 97 HOST_CC Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain. 98 99 HOST_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain. 100 101 MACHINE Machine type, e.g., ``macppc''. 102 103 MACHINE_ARCH Machine architecture, e.g., ``powerpc''. 104 105 MAKE Path name to invoke make(1) as. 106 107 MAKEFLAGS Flags to invoke make(1) with. 108 109 MAKEOBJDIR Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc- 110 tory. The value is subjected to variable expansion by 111 make(1). Typical usage is to set this variable to a 112 value involving the use of `${.CURDIR:S...}' or 113 `${.CURDIR:C...}', to derive the value of .OBJDIR from 114 the value of .CURDIR. Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is 115 not defined. MAKEOBJDIR can be provided only in the 116 environment or via the -O flag of build.sh; it cannot 117 usefully be set inside a Makefile. 118 119 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Top level directory of the object directory tree. If 120 specified, must be an absolute path. If this is 121 defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the 122 .OBJDIR for the current directory. The current direc- 123 tory may be read only. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be pro- 124 vided only in the environment or via the -M flag of 125 build.sh; it cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile. 126 127 "make" variables 128 Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds. Unless other- 129 wise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environ- 130 ment or the make(1) configuration file specified by MAKECONF. 131 132 BUILDID Identifier for the build. The identifier will be appended to 133 object directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1) 134 configuration file in order to set additional build parame- 135 ters, such as compiler flags. 136 137 BUILDSEED GCC uses random numbers when compiling C++ code. This vari- 138 able seeds the gcc random number generator using the -fran- 139 dom-seed flag with this value. By default, it is set to 140 NetBSD-(majorversion). Using a fixed value causes C++ bina- 141 ries to be the same when built from the same sources. Addi- 142 tional information is available in the GCC documentation of 143 -frandom-seed. 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 Note that setting MKOBJ to ``no'' is not recommended and may 239 cause problems when updating the tree with cvs(1). 240 241 MKPIC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether shared 242 objects and libraries will be created and installed during a 243 build. If set to ``no'', the entire built system will be 244 statically linked. 245 246 Default: Platform dependent. As of this writing, all plat- 247 forms except sh3 default to ``yes''. 248 249 MKPICINSTALL 250 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether the ar(1) 251 format libraries (lib*_pic.a), used to generate shared 252 libraries, are installed during a build. 253 254 Default: ``yes'' 255 256 MKPROFILE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether profiled 257 libraries (lib*_p.a) will be built and installed during a 258 build. 259 260 Default: ``yes''; however, some platforms turn off MKPROFILE 261 by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled 262 code. 263 264 MKSHARE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether files 265 destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and 266 installed during a build. If set to ``no'', then all of 267 MKCATPAGES, MKDOC, MKINFO, MKMAN, and MKNLS will be set to 268 ``no'' unconditionally. 269 270 Default: ``yes'' 271 272 MKTTINTERP Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. For X builds, decides if 273 the TrueType bytecode interpreter is turned on. See 274 http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for details. 275 276 Default: ``no'' 277 278 MKUNPRIVED Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether an 279 unprivileged install will occur. The user, group, permis- 280 sions, and file flags, will not be set on the installed 281 items; instead the information will be appended to a file 282 called METALOG in DESTDIR. The contents of METALOG are used 283 during the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure 284 that the appropriate file ownership is stored. 285 286 Default: ``no'' 287 288 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether all 289 install operations intended to write to DESTDIR will compare 290 file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase 291 if the destination files are up-to-date. This also has 292 implications on full builds (see next subsection). 293 294 Default: ``no'' 295 296 MKX11 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether X11R6 is 297 built from X11SRCDIR. 298 299 Default: ``no'' 300 301 TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If specified, 302 must be an absolute path. This directory should be unique to 303 a given host system and NetBSD source tree. (However, multi- 304 ple targets may share the same TOOLDIR; the target-dependent 305 files have unique names.) If unset, a default based on the 306 uname(1) information of the host platform will be created in 307 the .OBJDIR of src. 308 309 Default: Unset. 310 311 USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by TOOLDIR should be 312 used as part of a build in progress. Must be set to ``yes'' 313 if cross-compiling. 314 315 yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR. 316 317 no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build 318 native compilation tool components that are version- 319 specific for that tool. 320 321 never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building 322 native tool components. This is similar to the tradi- 323 tional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that 324 the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in 325 order to build the tree successfully. This may cause 326 build or runtime problems when building the whole 327 NetBSD source tree. 328 329 Default: ``yes'', unless TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is set to ``yes''. 330 331 USETOOLS is also set to ``no'' when using <bsd.*.mk> outside 332 the NetBSD source tree. 333 334 X11SRCDIR Directory containing the X11R6 source. If specified, must be 335 an absolute path. The main X11R6 source is found in 336 X11SRCDIR/xfree/xc. 337 338 Default: ``/usr/xsrc'' 339 340 "make" variables for full builds 341 These variables only affect the top level ``Makefile'' and do not affect 342 manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code. 343 344 INSTALLWORLDDIR Location for the ``make installworld'' target to install 345 to. If specified, must be an absolute path. 346 347 Default: ``/'' 348 349 MKOBJDIRS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether 350 object directories will be created automatically (via a 351 ``make obj'' pass) at the start of a build. 352 353 Default: ``no'' 354 355 If using build.sh, the default is ``yes''. This may be 356 set back to ``no'' by giving build.sh the -o option. 357 358 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set, then in addi- 359 tion to the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above, 360 this implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., ``make 361 cleandir'' is avoided). 362 363 Default: ``no'' 364 365 If using build.sh, this may be set by giving the -u 366 option. 367 368 NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the make(1) option -j, instead. See 369 below. 370 371 Default: Unset. 372 373 NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full 374 build. This has the effect of allowing only changed 375 files in a source tree to be recompiled. This can speed 376 up builds when updating only a few files in the tree. 377 378 Default: Unset. 379 380 See also MKUPDATE. 381 382 NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full 383 build. This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful 384 on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or 385 where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have 386 not changed. 387 388 Default: Unset. 389 390 NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full 391 build. This has the effect of preventing make(1) from 392 thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply 393 because the system include files have changed. However, 394 this option should not be used when updating the entire 395 NetBSD source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use 396 MKUPDATE=yes instead in that case. 397 398 Default: Unset. 399 400 RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7) 401 layout will be written at the end of a ``make release''. 402 If specified, must be an absolute path. 403 404 Default: Unset. 405 406 Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in 407 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode. 408 409 BUILDING 410 "make" command line options 411 This is not a summary of all the options available to make(1); only the 412 options used most frequently with NetBSD builds are listed here. 413 414 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel. Makefiles should 415 use .WAIT or have explicit dependencies as necessary to 416 enforce build ordering. 417 418 -m dir Specify the default directory for searching for system Make- 419 file segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files. When building any 420 full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the 421 ``share/mk'' directory in the source tree. This is set auto- 422 matically when building from the top level, or when using 423 build.sh. 424 425 -n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not 426 actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to 427 take place. 428 429 -V var Print make(1)'s idea of the value of var. Does not build any 430 targets. 431 432 var=value Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting speci- 433 fied by the process environment, the MAKECONF configuration 434 file, or the system Makefile segments. 435 436 "make" targets 437 These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of 438 the NetBSD source code. It is recommended that none of these be used 439 from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, ``make obj'' and 440 ``make cleandir'' are useful in that context. 441 442 all Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation. 443 444 clean Remove program and library object code files. 445 446 cleandir Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, 447 dependency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other 448 files known to be created at build time. 449 450 depend Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed 451 information about the dependencies of source code on header 452 files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a 453 dependency changes. 454 455 dependall Does a ``make depend'' immediately followed by a ``make all''. 456 This improves cache locality of the build since both passes 457 read the source files in their entirety. 458 459 distclean Synonym for cleandir. 460 461 includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed 462 before any system libraries or programs can be built. 463 464 install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR. 465 Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, 466 DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied 467 configuration data from being overwritten. 468 469 lint Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and 470 generate system-installed lint libraries. 471 472 obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead 473 of building directly in the source tree. 474 475 tags Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1) 476 and vi(1) text editors. 477 478 "make" targets for the top level 479 Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source 480 level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree. 481 482 build Build the entire NetBSD system (except the kernel). This 483 orders portions of the source tree such that prerequisites 484 will be built in the proper order. 485 486 distribution Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution 487 (which does not include a kernel) into DESTDIR, including 488 files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, DESTDIR/root and 489 DESTDIR/var. 490 491 buildworld As per ``make distribution'', except that it ensures that 492 DESTDIR is not the root directory. 493 494 installworld Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR, 495 which defaults to the root directory. Ensures that 496 INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross compil- 497 ing. 498 499 The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a list 500 of distribution sets to be installed. By default, all sets 501 except ``etc'' and ``xetc'' are installed, so most files in 502 INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or modified. 503 504 Note: Before performing this operation with 505 INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you 506 upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this 507 operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to 508 update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc and that you use 509 postinstall(8) to check for inconsistencies (and possibly 510 to fix them). 511 512 sets Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into 513 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/sets. Should be run 514 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 515 not install all of the required files. 516 517 sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into 518 RELEASEDIR/source/sets. 519 520 syspkgs Create syspkgs from DESTDIR into 521 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/syspkgs. Should be run 522 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 523 not install all of the required files. 524 525 release Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution 526 media, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and 527 then package the system into a standard release layout as 528 described by release(7). This requires that RELEASEDIR be 529 set (see above). 530 531 iso-image Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 532 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 533 a layout as described in release(7). 534 535 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 536 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 537 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 538 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 539 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 540 541 Before ``make iso-image'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be 542 populated by ``make release'' or equivalent. 543 544 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 545 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 546 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 547 contain the same tools as the larger images in 548 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 549 as the distribution sets. 550 551 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 552 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 553 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 554 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 555 556 iso-image-source 557 Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 558 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 559 a layout as described in release(7). It will have top 560 level directories for the machine type and source. 561 562 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 563 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 564 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 565 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 566 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 567 568 Before ``make iso-image-source'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR 569 must be populated by ``make sourcesets release'' or equiva- 570 lent. 571 572 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 573 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 574 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 575 contain the same tools as the larger images in 576 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 577 as the distribution sets. 578 579 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 580 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 581 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 582 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 583 584 regression-tests 585 Can only be run after building the regression tests in the 586 directory ``regress''. Runs those compiled regression 587 tests on the local host. Note that most tests are now man- 588 aged instead using atf(7); this target should probably run 589 those as well but currently does not. 590 591 The "build.sh" script 592 This script file is a Bourne shell script designed to build the entire 593 NetBSD system on any host with a Bourne shell in /bin/sh, including many 594 that are not POSIX compliant. Note that if a host system's /bin/sh is 595 unusually old and broken, the Korn Shell (/bin/ksh), if available, may be 596 a usable alternative. 597 598 All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system 599 should make use of build.sh rather than just running ``make''. This way, 600 the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host sys- 601 tem has an older or incompatible ``make'' program. 602 603 When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are 604 set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list 605 of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are 606 noted where applicable. 607 608 The following operations are supported by build.sh: 609 610 build Build the system as per ``make build''. Before the main 611 part of the build commences, this command runs the obj 612 operation (unless the -o option is given), ``make 613 cleandir'' (unless the -u option is given), and the tools 614 operation. 615 616 distribution Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''. 617 This command first runs the build operation. 618 619 release Build a full release as per ``make release''. This command 620 first runs the distribution operation. 621 622 makewrapper Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is auto- 623 matically performed for any of the other operations. 624 625 cleandir Perform ``make cleandir''. 626 627 obj Perform ``make obj''. 628 629 tools Build and install the host tools from src/tools. This com- 630 mand will first run ``make obj'' and ``make cleandir'' in 631 the tools subdirectory unless the -o or -u options (respec- 632 tively) are given. 633 634 install=idir Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make 635 installworld''. Note that files that are part of the 636 ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed. 637 638 kernel=kconf Build a new kernel. The kconf argument is the name of a 639 configuration file suitable for use by config(1). If kconf 640 does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file 641 is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which 642 is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf. The new kernel will be 643 built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically 644 sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory. 645 646 This command does not imply the tools command; run the 647 tools command first unless it is certain that the tools 648 already exist and are up to date. 649 650 This command will run ``make cleandir'' on the kernel in 651 question first unless the -u option is given. 652 653 releasekernel=kconf 654 Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel previously built by 655 kernel=kconf into 656 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/kernel, usually as 657 netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is deter- 658 mined from the ``config'' directives in kconf. 659 660 sets Perform ``make sets''. 661 662 sourcesets Perform ``make sourcesets''. 663 664 syspkgs Perform ``make syspkgs''. 665 666 iso-image Perform ``make iso-image''. 667 668 iso-image-source 669 Perform ``make iso-image-source''. 670 671 The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh 672 operations described above: 673 674 -a arch Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch. 675 676 -B buildid 677 Set the value of BUILDID to buildid. This will also append the 678 build identifier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so 679 that the resulting name is of the form 680 ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''. 681 682 -C cdextras 683 Set the value of CDEXTRA to cdextras which is a space-separated 684 list of files or directories which will be added in order to 685 the CD-ROM image when used in conjunction with ``iso-image'' or 686 ``iso-image-source''. Files will be added to the root of the 687 CD-ROM image, whereas directories will be copied recursively. 688 If relative paths are specified, they will be converted to 689 absolute paths before being used. 690 691 -D dest Set the value of DESTDIR to dest. If a relative path is speci- 692 fied, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 693 used. 694 695 -E Set `expert' mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and 696 allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for 697 builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build- 698 ing as a non-root user. 699 700 Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing 701 when you use this option. 702 703 -h Print a help message. 704 705 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel; passed through to 706 make(1). If you see failures for reasons other than running 707 out of memory while using build.sh with -j, please save com- 708 plete build logs so the failures can be analyzed. 709 710 To achieve the fastest builds, -j values between (1 + the num- 711 ber of CPUs) and (2 * the number of CPUs) are recommended. Use 712 lower values on machines with limited memory or I/O bandwidth. 713 714 -M obj Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj. For instance, if the source 715 directory is /usr/src, a setting of ``-M /usr/obj'' will place 716 build-time files under /usr/obj/usr/src/bin, 717 /usr/obj/usr/src/lib, /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin, and so forth. 718 If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an 719 absolute path before being used. Unsets MAKEOBJDIR. See ``-O 720 -obj'' for more information. 721 722 -m mach Set the value of MACHINE to mach, except in some special cases 723 listed below. This will also override any value of 724 MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value deduced 725 from mach, unless -a is specified. All cross builds require 726 -m, but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE 727 will be detected and used automatically. 728 729 Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH. The 730 following special cases for the mach argument are defined to 731 set the listed values of MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH: 732 733 mach MACHINE MACHINE_ARCH 734 evbarm evbarm (not set) 735 evbarm-eb evbarm armeb 736 evbarm-el evbarm arm 737 evbmips evbmips (not set) 738 evbmips-eb evbmips mipseb 739 evbmips-el evbmips mipsel 740 evbsh3 evbsh3 (not set) 741 evbsh3-eb evbsh3 sh3eb 742 evbsh3-el evbsh3 sh3el 743 sbmips sbmips (not set) 744 sbmips-eb sbmips mipseb 745 sbmips-el sbmips mipsel 746 747 -N noiselevel 748 Set the ``noisyness'' level of the build, by setting 749 MAKEVERBOSE to noiselevel. 750 751 -n Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do 752 not make any changes. This is similar in concept to ``make 753 -n''. 754 755 -O obj Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will 756 place the built object files under obj. For instance, a set- 757 ting of ``-O /usr/obj'' will place build-time files under 758 /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, /usr/obj/usr.bin, and so forth. If 759 a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an abso- 760 lute path before being used. Unsets MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. 761 762 In normal use, exactly one of the -M or -O options should be 763 specified. If the source directory is /usr/src and neither -M 764 nor -O is specified, then a default object directory will be 765 chosen according to rules in <bsd.obj.mk>; this default is usu- 766 ally either /usr/obj or /usr/obj.MACHINE. 767 768 -o Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''. Otherwise, it will be 769 automatically set to ``yes''. This default is opposite to the 770 behaviour when not using build.sh. 771 772 -R rel Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel. If a relative path is 773 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 774 being used. 775 776 -r Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building 777 (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting 778 DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory. 779 780 -S seed Change the value of BUILDSEED to seed. This should rarely be 781 necessary. 782 783 -T tools Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools. If a relative path is spec- 784 ified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 785 used. If set, the bootstrap ``make'' will only be rebuilt if 786 the source files for make(1) have changed. 787 788 -U Set MKUNPRIVED=yes. 789 790 -u Set MKUPDATE=yes. 791 792 -V var=[value] 793 Set the environment variable var to an optional value. This is 794 propagated to the nbmake wrapper. 795 796 -w wrapper 797 Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom loca- 798 tion, specified by wrapper. This allows, for instance, to 799 place the wrapper in PATH automatically. Note that wrapper is 800 the full name of the file, not just a directory name. If a 801 relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute 802 path before being used. 803 804 -X x11src 805 Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src. If a relative path is 806 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 807 being used. 808 809 -x Set MKX11=yes. 810 811 -Z var Unset ("zap") the environment variable var. This is propagated 812 to the nbmake wrapper. 813 814 The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script 815 If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script 816 will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building 817 subtrees on a cross-compile host. 818 819 nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call 820 the up-to-date version of ``nbmake'' installed into TOOLDIR/bin with sev- 821 eral key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and TOOLDIR. 822 nbmake-MACHINE will also set variables specified with -V, and unset vari- 823 ables specified with -Z. 824 825 This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called 826 with an absolute path. 827 828 EXAMPLES 829 1. % ./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC 830 831 Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and 832 build a new GENERIC kernel. 833 834 2. % ./build.sh -U distribution 835 836 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR 837 directory that build.sh selects (and will display). 838 839 3. # ./build.sh -U install=/ 840 841 As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2. 842 Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the permis- 843 sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files 844 as they're copied to /. 845 846 4. % ./build.sh -U -u release 847 848 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and 849 RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display). 850 MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that 851 if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion 852 of the release build. 853 854 OBSOLETE VARIABLES 855 NBUILDJOBS Use the make(1) option -j instead. 856 857 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN 858 The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use 859 TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes. 860 861 SEE ALSO 862 make(1), hier(7), release(7), etcupdate(8), postinstall(8), sysinst(8), 863 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools 864 865 HISTORY 866 The build.sh based build scheme was introduced for NetBSD 1.6 as 867 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, and re-worked to TOOLCHAIN_MISSING after that. 868 869 NetBSD August 18, 2008 NetBSD 870
