BUILDING revision 1.88
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 (For building from out-of-date systems or 33 on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.) 34 35 UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of 36 NetBSD.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, including mk.conf or 118 ${MAKECONF}. 119 120 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Top level directory of the object directory tree. The 121 value is subjected to variable expansion by make(1). 122 build.sh will create the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory 123 if necessary, but if make(1) is used without build.sh, 124 then rules in <bsd.obj.mk> will abort the build if the 125 ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory does not exist. If the 126 value is defined and valid, then ${MAKEOBJDIRPRE- 127 FIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the .OBJDIR for the current 128 directory. The current directory may be read only. 129 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be provided only in the environ- 130 ment or via the -M flag of build.sh; it cannot usefully 131 be set inside a Makefile, including mk.conf or 132 ${MAKECONF}. 133 134 "make" variables 135 Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds. Unless other- 136 wise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environ- 137 ment or the make(1) configuration file specified by MAKECONF. 138 139 BUILDID Identifier for the build. The identifier will be appended to 140 object directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1) 141 configuration file in order to set additional build parame- 142 ters, such as compiler flags. 143 144 BUILDSEED GCC uses random numbers when compiling C++ code. This vari- 145 able seeds the gcc random number generator using the -fran- 146 dom-seed flag with this value. By default, it is set to 147 NetBSD-(majorversion). Using a fixed value causes C++ bina- 148 ries to be the same when built from the same sources, result- 149 ing in identical (reproducible) builds. Additional informa- 150 tion is available in the GCC documentation of -frandom-seed. 151 152 DESTDIR Directory to contain the built NetBSD system. If set, spe- 153 cial options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent 154 their default use of the host system's /usr/include, 155 /usr/lib, and so forth. This pathname must be an absolute 156 path, and should not end with a slash (/) character. (For 157 installation into the system's root directory, set DESTDIR to 158 an empty string, not to ``/''). The directory must reside on 159 a file system which supports long file names and hard links. 160 161 Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset other- 162 wise. 163 164 Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE (in 165 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode. 166 167 MAKECONF The name of the make(1) configuration file. Only settable in 168 the process environment. 169 170 Default: ``/etc/mk.conf'' 171 172 MAKEVERBOSE 173 Level of verbosity of status messages. Supported values: 174 175 0 No descriptive messages or commands executed by make(1) 176 are shown. 177 178 1 Brief messages are shown describing what is being done, 179 but the actual commands executed by make(1) are not dis- 180 played. 181 182 2 Descriptive messages are shown as above (prefixed with a 183 `#'), and ordinary commands performed by make(1) are 184 displayed. 185 186 3 In addition to the above, all commands performed by 187 make(1) are displayed, even if they would ordinarily 188 have been hidden through use of the ``@'' prefix in the 189 relevant makefile. 190 191 4 In addition to the above, commands executed by make(1) 192 are traced through use of the sh(1) ``-x'' flag. 193 194 Default: 2 195 196 MKCATPAGES Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether prefor- 197 matted plaintext manual pages will be created during a build. 198 199 Default: ``yes'' 200 201 MKCRYPTO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether crypto- 202 graphic code will be included in a build; provided for the 203 benefit of countries that do not allow strong cryptography. 204 Will not affect use of the standard low-security password 205 encryption system, crypt(3). 206 207 Default: ``yes'' 208 209 MKDOC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether system 210 documentation destined for DESTDIR/usr/share/doc will be 211 installed during a build. 212 213 Default: ``yes'' 214 215 MKHTML Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether prefor- 216 matted HTML manual pages will be built and installed 217 218 Default: ``yes'' 219 220 MKHOSTOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set to ``yes'', then for 221 programs intended to be run on the compile host, the name, 222 release, and architecture of the host operating system will 223 be suffixed to the name of the object directory created by 224 ``make obj''. (This allows multiple host systems to compile 225 NetBSD for a single target.) If set to ``no'', then programs 226 built to be run on the compile host will use the same object 227 directory names as programs built to be run on the target. 228 229 Default: ``no'' 230 231 MKINFO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether GNU Info 232 files, used for the documentation for most of the compilation 233 tools, will be created and installed during a build. 234 235 Default: ``yes'' 236 237 MKLINT Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether lint(1) 238 will be run against portions of the NetBSD source code during 239 the build, and whether lint libraries will be installed into 240 DESTDIR/usr/libdata/lint. 241 242 Default: ``yes'' 243 244 MKMAN Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether manual 245 pages will be installed during a build. 246 247 Default: ``yes'' 248 249 MKNLS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether Native 250 Language System locale zone files will be compiled and 251 installed during a build. 252 253 Default: ``yes'' 254 255 MKOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether object 256 directories will be created when running ``make obj''. If 257 set to ``no'', then all built files will be located inside 258 the regular source tree. 259 260 Default: ``yes'' 261 262 Note that setting MKOBJ to ``no'' is not recommended and may 263 cause problems when updating the tree with cvs(1). 264 265 MKPIC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether shared 266 objects and libraries will be created and installed during a 267 build. If set to ``no'', the entire built system will be 268 statically linked. 269 270 Default: Platform dependent. As of this writing, all plat- 271 forms except sh3 default to ``yes''. 272 273 MKPICINSTALL 274 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether the ar(1) 275 format libraries (lib*_pic.a), used to generate shared 276 libraries, are installed during a build. 277 278 Default: ``yes'' 279 280 MKPROFILE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether profiled 281 libraries (lib*_p.a) will be built and installed during a 282 build. 283 284 Default: ``yes''; however, some platforms turn off MKPROFILE 285 by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled 286 code. 287 288 MKSHARE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether files 289 destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and 290 installed during a build. If set to ``no'', then all of 291 MKCATPAGES, MKDOC, MKINFO, MKMAN, and MKNLS will be set to 292 ``no'' unconditionally. 293 294 Default: ``yes'' 295 296 MKSTRIPIDENT 297 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether program 298 binaries and shared libraries should be built to include RCS 299 IDs for use with ident(1). 300 301 Default: ``no'' 302 303 MKSUBPIXEL Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. For X builds, decides if 304 subpixel rendering code in FreeType is turned on. Turned off 305 by default because of patent issues. 306 307 Default: ``no'' 308 309 MKTTINTERP Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. For X builds, decides if 310 the TrueType bytecode interpreter is turned on. See 311 http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for details. 312 313 Default: ``no'' 314 315 MKUNPRIVED Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether an 316 unprivileged install will occur. The user, group, permis- 317 sions, and file flags, will not be set on the installed 318 items; instead the information will be appended to a file 319 called METALOG in DESTDIR. The contents of METALOG are used 320 during the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure 321 that the appropriate file ownership is stored. 322 323 Default: ``no'' 324 325 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether all 326 install operations intended to write to DESTDIR will compare 327 file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase 328 if the destination files are up-to-date. This also has 329 implications on full builds (see next subsection). 330 331 Default: ``no'' 332 333 MKX11 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether X11 is 334 built from X11SRCDIR. 335 336 Default: ``no'' 337 338 TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If specified, 339 must be an absolute path. This directory should be unique to 340 a given host system and NetBSD source tree. (However, multi- 341 ple targets may share the same TOOLDIR; the target-dependent 342 files have unique names.) If unset, a default based on the 343 uname(1) information of the host platform will be created in 344 the .OBJDIR of src. 345 346 Default: Unset. 347 348 USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by TOOLDIR should be 349 used as part of a build in progress. Must be set to ``yes'' 350 if cross-compiling. 351 352 yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR. 353 354 no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build 355 native compilation tool components that are version- 356 specific for that tool. 357 358 never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building 359 native tool components. This is similar to the tradi- 360 tional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that 361 the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in 362 order to build the tree successfully. This may cause 363 build or runtime problems when building the whole 364 NetBSD source tree. 365 366 Default: ``yes'', unless TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is set to ``yes''. 367 368 USETOOLS is also set to ``no'' when using <bsd.*.mk> outside 369 the NetBSD source tree. 370 371 X11SRCDIR Directory containing the X11R6 source. If specified, must be 372 an absolute path. The main X11R6 source is found in 373 X11SRCDIR/xfree/xc. 374 375 Default: ``/usr/xsrc'' 376 377 X11FLAVOUR The style of X11 cross-built, set to either ``Xorg'' or 378 ``XFree86''. 379 380 Default: ``Xorg'' on amd64, i386, macppc, shark and sparc64 381 platforms, ``XFree86'' on everything else. 382 383 "make" variables for full builds 384 These variables only affect the top level ``Makefile'' and do not affect 385 manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code. 386 387 INSTALLWORLDDIR Location for the ``make installworld'' target to install 388 to. If specified, must be an absolute path. 389 390 Default: ``/'' 391 392 MKOBJDIRS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether 393 object directories will be created automatically (via a 394 ``make obj'' pass) at the start of a build. 395 396 Default: ``no'' 397 398 If using build.sh, the default is ``yes''. This may be 399 set back to ``no'' by giving build.sh the -o option. 400 401 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set, then in addi- 402 tion to the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above, 403 this implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., ``make 404 cleandir'' is avoided). 405 406 Default: ``no'' 407 408 If using build.sh, this may be set by giving the -u 409 option. 410 411 NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the make(1) option -j, instead. See 412 below. 413 414 Default: Unset. 415 416 NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full 417 build. This has the effect of allowing only changed 418 files in a source tree to be recompiled. This can speed 419 up builds when updating only a few files in the tree. 420 421 Default: Unset. 422 423 See also MKUPDATE. 424 425 NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full 426 build. This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful 427 on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or 428 where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have 429 not changed. 430 431 Default: Unset. 432 433 NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full 434 build. This has the effect of preventing make(1) from 435 thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply 436 because the system include files have changed. However, 437 this option should not be used when updating the entire 438 NetBSD source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use 439 MKUPDATE=yes instead in that case. 440 441 Default: Unset. 442 443 RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7) 444 layout will be written at the end of a ``make release''. 445 If specified, must be an absolute path. 446 447 Default: Unset. 448 449 Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in 450 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode. 451 452 BUILDING 453 "make" command line options 454 This is not a summary of all the options available to make(1); only the 455 options used most frequently with NetBSD builds are listed here. 456 457 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel. Makefiles should 458 use .WAIT or have explicit dependencies as necessary to 459 enforce build ordering. 460 461 -m dir Specify the default directory for searching for system Make- 462 file segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files. When building any 463 full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the 464 ``share/mk'' directory in the source tree. This is set auto- 465 matically when building from the top level, or when using 466 build.sh. 467 468 -n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not 469 actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to 470 take place. 471 472 -V var Print make(1)'s idea of the value of var. Does not build any 473 targets. 474 475 var=value Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting speci- 476 fied by the process environment, the MAKECONF configuration 477 file, or the system Makefile segments. 478 479 "make" targets 480 These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of 481 the NetBSD source code. It is recommended that none of these be used 482 from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, ``make obj'' and 483 ``make cleandir'' are useful in that context. 484 485 all Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation. 486 487 clean Remove program and library object code files. 488 489 cleandir Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, 490 dependency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other 491 files known to be created at build time. 492 493 depend Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed 494 information about the dependencies of source code on header 495 files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a 496 dependency changes. 497 498 dependall Does a ``make depend'' immediately followed by a ``make all''. 499 This improves cache locality of the build since both passes 500 read the source files in their entirety. 501 502 distclean Synonym for cleandir. 503 504 includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed 505 before any system libraries or programs can be built. 506 507 install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR. 508 Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, 509 DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied 510 configuration data from being overwritten. 511 512 lint Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and 513 generate system-installed lint libraries. 514 515 obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead 516 of building directly in the source tree. 517 518 tags Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1) 519 and vi(1) text editors. 520 521 "make" targets for the top level 522 Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source 523 level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree. 524 525 build Build the entire NetBSD system (except the kernel). This 526 orders portions of the source tree such that prerequisites 527 will be built in the proper order. 528 529 distribution Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution 530 (which does not include a kernel) into DESTDIR, including 531 files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, DESTDIR/root and 532 DESTDIR/var. 533 534 buildworld As per ``make distribution'', except that it ensures that 535 DESTDIR is not the root directory. 536 537 installworld Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR, 538 which defaults to the root directory. Ensures that 539 INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross compil- 540 ing. 541 542 The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a list 543 of distribution sets to be installed. By default, all sets 544 except ``etc'' and ``xetc'' are installed, so most files in 545 INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or modified. 546 547 Note: Before performing this operation with 548 INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you 549 upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this 550 operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to 551 update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc and that you use 552 postinstall(8) to check for inconsistencies (and possibly 553 to fix them). 554 555 sets Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into 556 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/sets. Should be run 557 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 558 not install all of the required files. 559 560 sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into 561 RELEASEDIR/source/sets. 562 563 syspkgs Create syspkgs from DESTDIR into 564 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/syspkgs. Should be run 565 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 566 not install all of the required files. 567 568 release Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution 569 media, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and 570 then package the system into a standard release layout as 571 described by release(7). This requires that RELEASEDIR be 572 set (see above). 573 574 iso-image Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 575 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 576 a layout as described in release(7). 577 578 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 579 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 580 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 581 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 582 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 583 584 Before ``make iso-image'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be 585 populated by ``make release'' or equivalent. 586 587 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 588 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 589 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 590 contain the same tools as the larger images in 591 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 592 as the distribution sets. 593 594 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 595 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 596 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 597 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 598 599 iso-image-source 600 Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 601 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 602 a layout as described in release(7). It will have top 603 level directories for the machine type and source. 604 605 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 606 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 607 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 608 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 609 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 610 611 Before ``make iso-image-source'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR 612 must be populated by ``make sourcesets release'' or equiva- 613 lent. 614 615 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 616 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 617 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 618 contain the same tools as the larger images in 619 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 620 as the distribution sets. 621 622 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 623 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 624 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 625 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 626 627 regression-tests 628 Can only be run after building the regression tests in the 629 directory ``regress''. Runs those compiled regression 630 tests on the local host. Note that most tests are now man- 631 aged instead using atf(7); this target should probably run 632 those as well but currently does not. 633 634 The "build.sh" script 635 This script file is a Bourne shell script designed to build the entire 636 NetBSD system on any host with a Bourne shell in /bin/sh, including many 637 that are not POSIX compliant. Note that if a host system's /bin/sh is 638 unusually old and broken, the Korn Shell (/bin/ksh), if available, may be 639 a usable alternative. 640 641 All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system 642 should make use of build.sh rather than just running ``make''. This way, 643 the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host sys- 644 tem has an older or incompatible ``make'' program. 645 646 When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are 647 set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list 648 of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are 649 noted where applicable. 650 651 The following operations are supported by build.sh: 652 653 build Build the system as per ``make build''. Before the main 654 part of the build commences, this command runs the obj 655 operation (unless the -o option is given), ``make 656 cleandir'' (unless the -u option is given), and the tools 657 operation. 658 659 distribution Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''. 660 This command first runs the build operation. 661 662 release Build a full release as per ``make release''. This command 663 first runs the distribution operation. 664 665 makewrapper Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is auto- 666 matically performed for any of the other operations. 667 668 cleandir Perform ``make cleandir''. 669 670 obj Perform ``make obj''. 671 672 tools Build and install the host tools from src/tools. This com- 673 mand will first run ``make obj'' and ``make cleandir'' in 674 the tools subdirectory unless the -o or -u options (respec- 675 tively) are given. 676 677 install=idir Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make 678 installworld''. Note that files that are part of the 679 ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed. 680 681 kernel=kconf Build a new kernel. The kconf argument is the name of a 682 configuration file suitable for use by config(1). If kconf 683 does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file 684 is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which 685 is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf. The new kernel will be 686 built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically 687 sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory. 688 689 This command does not imply the tools command; run the 690 tools command first unless it is certain that the tools 691 already exist and are up to date. 692 693 This command will run ``make cleandir'' on the kernel in 694 question first unless the -u option is given. 695 696 modules This command will build kernel modules and install them 697 into DESTDIR. 698 699 releasekernel=kconf 700 Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel previously built by 701 kernel=kconf into 702 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/kernel, usually as 703 netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is deter- 704 mined from the ``config'' directives in kconf. 705 706 sets Perform ``make sets''. 707 708 sourcesets Perform ``make sourcesets''. 709 710 syspkgs Perform ``make syspkgs''. 711 712 iso-image Perform ``make iso-image''. 713 714 iso-image-source 715 Perform ``make iso-image-source''. 716 717 The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh 718 operations described above: 719 720 -a arch Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch. 721 722 -B buildid 723 Set the value of BUILDID to buildid. This will also append the 724 build identifier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so 725 that the resulting name is of the form 726 ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''. 727 728 -C cdextras 729 Append cdextras to the CDEXTRA variable, which is a space-sepa- 730 rated list of files or directories that will be added to the 731 CD-ROM image that may be create by the ``iso-image'' or 732 ``iso-image-source'' operations. Files will be added to the 733 root of the CD-ROM image, whereas directories will be copied 734 recursively. If relative paths are specified, they will be 735 converted to absolute paths before being used. Multiple paths 736 may be specified via multiple -C options, or via a single 737 option whose argument contains multiple space-separated paths. 738 739 -D dest Set the value of DESTDIR to dest. If a relative path is speci- 740 fied, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 741 used. 742 743 -E Set `expert' mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and 744 allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for 745 builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build- 746 ing as a non-root user. 747 748 Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing 749 when you use this option. 750 751 -h Print a help message. 752 753 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel; passed through to 754 make(1). If you see failures for reasons other than running 755 out of memory while using build.sh with -j, please save com- 756 plete build logs so the failures can be analyzed. 757 758 To achieve the fastest builds, -j values between (1 + the num- 759 ber of CPUs) and (2 * the number of CPUs) are recommended. Use 760 lower values on machines with limited memory or I/O bandwidth. 761 762 -M obj Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj. Unsets MAKEOBJDIR. See ``-O 763 -obj'' for more information. 764 765 For instance, if the source directory is /usr/src, a setting of 766 ``-M /usr/obj'' will place build-time files under 767 /usr/obj/usr/src/bin, /usr/obj/usr/src/lib, 768 /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin, and so forth. 769 770 If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an 771 absolute path before being used. build.sh imposes the restric- 772 tion that the argument to the -M option must not begin with a 773 ``$'' (dollar sign) character; otherwise it would be too diffi- 774 cult to determine whether the value is an absolute or a rela- 775 tive path. If the directory does not already exist, build.sh 776 will create it. 777 778 -m mach Set the value of MACHINE to mach, except in some special cases 779 listed below. This will also override any value of 780 MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value deduced 781 from mach, unless -a is specified. All cross builds require 782 -m, but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE 783 will be detected and used automatically. 784 785 Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH. The 786 following special cases for the mach argument are defined to 787 set the listed values of MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH: 788 789 mach MACHINE MACHINE_ARCH 790 evbarm evbarm (not set) 791 evbarm-eb evbarm armeb 792 evbarm-el evbarm arm 793 evbmips evbmips (not set) 794 evbmips-eb evbmips mipseb 795 evbmips-el evbmips mipsel 796 evbsh3 evbsh3 (not set) 797 evbsh3-eb evbsh3 sh3eb 798 evbsh3-el evbsh3 sh3el 799 sbmips sbmips (not set) 800 sbmips-eb sbmips mipseb 801 sbmips-el sbmips mipsel 802 803 -N noiselevel 804 Set the ``noisyness'' level of the build, by setting 805 MAKEVERBOSE to noiselevel. 806 807 -n Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do 808 not make any changes. This is similar in concept to ``make 809 -n''. 810 811 -O obj Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will 812 place the built object files under obj. Unsets 813 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. 814 815 For instance, a setting of ``-O /usr/obj'' will place build- 816 time files under /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, /usr/obj/usr.bin, 817 and so forth. 818 819 If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an 820 absolute path before being used. build.sh imposes the restric- 821 tion that the argument to the -O option must not contain a 822 ``$'' (dollar sign) character. If the directory does not 823 already exist, build.sh will create it. 824 825 In normal use, exactly one of the -M or -O options should be 826 specified. If neither -M nor -O is specified, then a default 827 object directory will be chosen according to rules in 828 <bsd.obj.mk>. Relying on this default is not recommended 829 because it is determined by complex rules that are influenced 830 by the values of several variables and by the location of the 831 source directory. 832 833 -o Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''. Otherwise, it will be 834 automatically set to ``yes''. This default is opposite to the 835 behaviour when not using build.sh. 836 837 -R rel Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel. If a relative path is 838 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 839 being used. 840 841 -r Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building 842 (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting 843 DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory. 844 845 -S seed Change the value of BUILDSEED to seed. This should rarely be 846 necessary. 847 848 -T tools Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools. If a relative path is spec- 849 ified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 850 used. If set, the bootstrap ``make'' will only be rebuilt if 851 the source files for make(1) have changed. 852 853 -U Set MKUNPRIVED=yes. 854 855 -u Set MKUPDATE=yes. 856 857 -V var=[value] 858 Set the environment variable var to an optional value. This is 859 propagated to the nbmake wrapper. 860 861 -w wrapper 862 Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom loca- 863 tion, specified by wrapper. This allows, for instance, to 864 place the wrapper in PATH automatically. Note that wrapper is 865 the full name of the file, not just a directory name. If a 866 relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute 867 path before being used. 868 869 -X x11src 870 Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src. If a relative path is 871 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 872 being used. 873 874 -x Set MKX11=yes. 875 876 -Z var Unset ("zap") the environment variable var. This is propagated 877 to the nbmake wrapper. 878 879 The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script 880 If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script 881 will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building 882 subtrees on a cross-compile host. 883 884 nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call 885 the up-to-date version of ``nbmake'' installed into TOOLDIR/bin with sev- 886 eral key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and TOOLDIR. 887 nbmake-MACHINE will also set variables specified with -V, and unset vari- 888 ables specified with -Z. 889 890 This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called 891 with an absolute path. 892 893 EXAMPLES 894 1. % ./build.sh [options] tools kernel=GENERIC 895 896 Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and 897 build a new GENERIC kernel. 898 899 2. % ./build.sh [options] -U distribution 900 901 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR 902 directory that build.sh selects (and will display). 903 904 3. # ./build.sh [options] -U install=/ 905 906 As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2. 907 Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the permis- 908 sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files 909 as they're copied to /. 910 911 4. % ./build.sh [options] -U -u release 912 913 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and 914 RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display). 915 MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that 916 if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion 917 of the release build. 918 919 OBSOLETE VARIABLES 920 NBUILDJOBS Use the make(1) option -j instead. 921 922 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN 923 The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use 924 TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes. 925 926 SEE ALSO 927 make(1), hier(7), release(7), etcupdate(8), postinstall(8), sysinst(8), 928 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools 929 930 HISTORY 931 The build.sh based build scheme was introduced for NetBSD 1.6 as 932 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, and re-worked to TOOLCHAIN_MISSING after that. 933 934 NetBSD May 1, 2009 NetBSD 935
