4This is the README file for the new make "include" files for the BSD
5source tree.  The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are, by
6convention, named with the suffix ".mk".
7
8Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk
9files for anything tricky.

13RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
14
15The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
16you'd expect.  The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
17used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
18
19One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
20of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile.  The reason for
21this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
22values of variables set in the Makefile.  To make this work, remember that
23the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
24
25	a:
26		echo a
27	a:
28		echo a number two
29
30the command "make a" will echo "a".  To make things confusing, the SECOND
31variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
32
33	a=	foo
34	a=	bar
35
36	b:
37		echo ${a}
38
39the command "make b" will echo "bar".  This is for compatibility with the
40way the V7 make behaved.
41
42It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
43multiple programs in a single directory.  It's a lot easier to split up the
44programs than to deal with the problem.  Most of the agony comes from making
45the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switched to a new version
46of make.  So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple
47architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff.  (Imake doesn't
48count.)
49
50The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
51for the source files.  This file is read automatically by make after reading
52the Makefile.
53
54The variable DESTDIR works as before.  It's not set anywhere but will change
55the tree where the file gets installed.
56
57The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
58the regular libraries.  A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
59object, and ".so" denotes a shared (position-independent) object.
60
61There are various make variables used during the build.  Basic rule for
62the variable naming scheme is as follows:
63
64MKxxx		Can be set to "no" to disable functionality, or
65		"yes" to enable it.
66		Usually defaults to "yes", although some variables
67		default to "no".
68		Due to make(1) implementation issues, if a temporary
69		command-line override of a mk.conf or <bsd.own.mk> setting
70		is required whilst still honouring a particular
71		Makefile's setting of MKxxx, use
72			env MKxxx=value make
73		instead of
74			make MKxxx=value
75
76NOxxx		If defined, disables a feature.
77		Not intended for users.
78		This is to allow Makefiles to disable functionality
79		that they don't support (such as missing man pages).
80		NOxxx variables must be defined before <bsd.own.mk>
81		is included.
82
83The following variables that control how things are made/installed that
84are not set by default. These should not be set by Makefiles; they're for
85the user to define in MAKECONF (see <bsd.own.mk>, below) or on the make(1)
86command line:
87
88BUILD 		If defined, 'make install' checks that the targets in the
89		source directories are up-to-date and remakes them if they
90                are out of date, instead of blindly trying to install
91                out of date or non-existent targets.
92

243
244USE_KERBEROS	If "no", disables building Kerberos v4 or v5)
245		support into various system utilities/libraries that
246		support it.  If MKKERBEROS is "no", USE_KERBEROS
247		will also be forced to "no".
248
249USE_SKEY	If "no", disables building S/key authentication
250		support into various system utilities/libraries that
251		support it.  If MKSKEY is "no", USE_SKEY will
252		also be forced to "no".
253
254USE_YP		If "no", disables building YP (NIS) support into
255		various system utilities/libraries that support it.
256		If MKYP is "no", USE_YP will also be forced to "no".
257
258
259=-=-=-=-=   sys.mk   =-=-=-=-=
260
261The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
262environment or otherwise.  You probably don't want to touch this file.
263
264=-=-=-=-=   bsd.own.mk   =-=-=-=-=
265
266The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains source tree configuration parameters,
267such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and
268a few global "feature configuration" parameters.
269
270It has no targets.
271
272To get system-specific configuration parameters, <bsd.own.mk> will try to
273include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable.  If MAKECONF is not
274set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf
275is included.  These files may define any of the variables described below.
276
277<bsd.own.mk> sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
278(defaults are in brackets):
279
280NETBSDSRCDIR	Top of the NetBSD source tree.
281		If _SRC_TOP_ != "", that will be used as the default,
282		otherwise BSDSRCDIR will be used as the default.
283		Various makefiles within the NetBSD source tree will
284		use this to reference the top level of the source tree.
285
286_SRC_TOP_	Top of the system source tree, as determined by <bsd.own.mk>
287		based on the presence of tools/ and build.sh.  This variable
288		is "internal" to <bsd.own.mk>, although its value is only
289		determined once and then propagated to all sub-makes.
290
291BSDSRCDIR	The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
292		will work correctly.  [/usr/src]
293
294BSDOBJDIR	The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
295		will work correctly.  [/usr/obj]
296
297BINGRP		Binary group.  [wheel]
298
299BINOWN		Binary owner.  [root]
300
301BINMODE		Binary mode.  [555]
302
303NONBINMODE	Mode for non-executable files.  [444]
304
305MANDIR		Base path for manual installation.  [/usr/share/man/cat]
306
307MANGRP		Manual group.  [wheel]
308
309MANOWN		Manual owner.  [root]
310
311MANMODE		Manual mode.  [${NONBINMODE}]
312
313MANINSTALL	Manual installation type: maninstall, catinstall, or both
314
315LDSTATIC	Control program linking; if set blank, link everything
316		dynamically.  If set to "-static", link everything statically.
317		If not set, programs link according to their makefile.
318
319LIBDIR		Base path for library installation.  [/usr/lib]
320
321LINTLIBDIR	Base path for lint(1) library installation.  [/usr/libdata/lint]
322
323LIBGRP		Library group.  [${BINGRP}]
324
325LIBOWN		Library owner.  [${BINOWN}]
326
327LIBMODE		Library mode.  [${NONBINMODE}]
328
329DOCDIR		Base path for system documentation (e.g. PSD, USD, etc.)
330	        installation.  [/usr/share/doc]
331
332HTMLDOCDIR	Base path for html system documentation installation.
333		[/usr/share/doc/html]
334
335DOCGRP		Documentation group.  [wheel]
336
337DOCOWN		Documentation owner.  [root]
338
339DOCMODE		Documentation mode.  [${NONBINMODE}]
340
341NLSDIR		Base path for Native Language Support files installation.
342		[/usr/share/nls]
343
344NLSGRP		Native Language Support files group.  [wheel]
345
346NLSOWN		Native Language Support files owner.  [root]
347
348NLSMODE		Native Language Support files mode.  [${NONBINMODE}]
349
350STRIPFLAG	The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
351		to be stripped.  This is to be used when building your
352		own install script so that the entire system can be made
353		stripped/not-stripped using a single knob.  [-s]
354
355COPY		The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
356		to be copied rather than moved.  This is to be used when
357		building our own install script so that the entire system
358		can either be installed with copies, or with moves using
359		a single knob.  [-c]
360
361Additionally, the following variables may be set by <bsd.own.mk> or in a
362make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
363process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
364<bsd.own.mk>):
365
366OBJECT_FMT	Object file format.  [set to "ELF" on architectures that
367		use ELF -- currently if ${MACHINE_ARCH} is "alpha",
368		"mipsel", "mipseb", "powerpc", "sparc", "sparc64",
369		"i386" and some m68k machines, or set to "a.out" on
370		other architectures].
371
372TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
373		If "yes", this indicates that the platform being built
374		does not have a working in-tree toolchain.  If the
375		MACHINE_ARCH in question falls into this category, the
376		variable is conditionally assigned the value "yes".
377		Otherwise, the variable is unconditionally assigned the
378		value "no".
379
380		If TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is "yes", the variables MKBFD, MKGCC,
381		and MKGDB are unconditionally assigned the value "no".
382
383EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN
384		This variable is not directly set by <bsd.own.mk>, but
385		including <bsd.own.mk> is the canonical way to gain
386		access to this variable.  The variable should be defined
387		either in the user's environment or in the user's mk.conf
388		file.  If defined, this variable indicates the root of
389		an external toolchain which will be used to build the
390		tree.  For example, if a platform is a TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
391		platform, EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN can be used to re-enable the
392		cross-compile framework.
393
394		If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN is defined, the variable MKGCC is
395		unconditionally assigned the value "no", since the external
396		version of the compiler may not be able to build the library
397		components of the in-tree compiler.
398
399		NOTE: This variable is not yet used in as many places as
400		it should be.  Expect the exact semantics of this variable
401		to change in the short term as parts of the cross-compile
402		framework continue to be cleaned up.
403
404<bsd.own.mk> is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
405they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
406
407
408=-=-=-=-=   bsd.dep.mk   =-=-=-=-=
409
410The include file <bsd.dep.mk> contains the default targets for building
411.depend files.  It creates .d files from entries in SRCS and DPSRCS
412that are C, C++, or Objective C source files, and builds .depend from the
413.d files.  All other files in SRCS and all of DPSRCS will be used as
414dependencies for the .d files.  In order for this to function correctly,
415it should be .included after all other .mk files and directives that may
416modify SRCS or DPSRCS.  It uses the following variables:
417
418SRCS		List of source files to build the program.
419
420DPSRCS		List of source files which are needed for generating
421		dependencies, but are not needed in ${SRCS}.
422
423
424=-=-=-=-=   bsd.files.mk   =-=-=-=-=
425
426The include file <bsd.files.mk> handles the FILES variables and is included
427from <bsd.lib.mk> and <bsd.prog.mk>, and uses the following variables:
428
429FILES		The list of files to install.
430
431FILESOWN	File owner.  [${BINOWN}]
432
433FILESGRP	File group.  [${BINGRP}]
434
435FILESMODE	File mode.  [${BINMODE}]
436
437FILESDIR	The location to install the files.
438
439FILESNAME	Optional name to install each file as.
440
441FILESDIR.<fn>	The location to install the specific file <fn>.
442
443FILESNAME.<fn>	Optional name to install <fn> as.
444
445
446=-=-=-=-=   bsd.gcc.mk   =-=-=-=-=
447
448The include file <bsd.gcc.mk> computes various parameters related to GCC
449support libraries.  It defines no targets.  <bsd.own.mk> MUST be included
450before <bsd.gcc.mk>.
451
452The primary users of <bsd.gcc.mk> are <bsd.prog.mk> and <bsd.lib.mk>, each
453of which need to know where to find certain GCC support libraries.
454
455The behavior of <bsd.gcc.mk> is influenced by the EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN variable,
456which is generally set by the user.  If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN it set, then
457the compiler is asked where to find the support libraries, otherwise the
458support libraries are found in ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib.
459
460<bsd.gcc.mk> sets the following variables:
461
462_GCC_CRTBEGIN	The full path name to crtbegin.o.
463
464_GCC_CRTBEGINS	The full path name to crtbeginS.o.
465
466_GCC_CRTEND	The full path name to crtend.o.
467
468_GCC_CRTENDS	The full path name to crtendS.o.
469
470_GCC_LIBGCCDIR	The directory where libgcc.a is located.
471
472
473=-=-=-=-=   bsd.inc.mk   =-=-=-=-=
474
475The include file <bsd.inc.mk> defines the includes target and uses the
476variables:
477
478INCS		The list of include files.
479
480INCSDIR		The location to install the include files.
481
482INCSNAME	Target name of the include file, if only one; same as
483		FILESNAME, but for include files.
484
485INCSYMLINKS	Similar to SYMLINKS in <bsd.links.mk>, except that these
486		are installed in the 'includes' target and not the
487		(much later) 'install' target.
488
489INCSNAME_<file>	The name file <file> should be installed as, if not <file>,
490		same as FILESNAME_<file>, but for include files.
491
492
493=-=-=-=-=   bsd.info.mk   =-=-=-=-=
494
495The include file <bsd.info.mk> is used to generate and install GNU Info
496documentation from respective Texinfo source files.  It defines three
497implicit targets (.txi.info, .texi.info, and .texinfo.info), and uses the
498following variables:
499
500TEXINFO		List of Texinfo source files.  Info documentation will
501		consist of single files with the extension replaced by
502		.info.
503
504INFOFLAGS	Flags to pass to makeinfo.  []
505
506
507=-=-=-=-=   bsd.kernobj.mk   =-=-=-=-=
508
509The include file <bsd.kernobj.mk> defines variables related to the
510location of kernel sources and object directories.
511
512KERNSRCDIR	Is the location of the top of the kernel src.
513		[${_SRC_TOP_}/sys]
514
515KERNARCHDIR	Is the location of the machine dependent kernel sources.
516		[arch/${MACHINE}]
517
518KERNCONFDIR	Is where the configuration files for kernels are found.
519		[${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/conf]
520
521KERNOBJDIR	Is the kernel build directory.  The kernel GENERIC for
522		instance will be compiled in ${KERNOBJDIR}/GENERIC.
523		The default value is
524		${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile
525		if it exists or the target 'obj' is being made.
526		Otherwise the default is
527		${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile.
528
529It is important that Makefiles (such as those under src/distrib) that
530wish to find compiled kernels use <bsd.kernobj.mk> and ${KERNOBJDIR}
531rather than make assumptions about the location of the compiled kernel.
532
533
534=-=-=-=-=   bsd.kinc.mk   =-=-=-=-=
535
536The include file <bsd.kinc.mk> defines the many targets (includes,
537subdirectories, etc.), and is used by kernel makefiles to handle
538include file installation.  It is intended to be included alone, by

544=-=-=-=-=   bsd.lib.mk   =-=-=-=-=
545
546The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries.  It has
547the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend,
548includes, install, lint, and tags.  Additionally, it has a checkver target
549which checks for installed shared object libraries whose version is greater
550that the version of the source. It has a limited number of suffixes,
551consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.  <bsd.lib.mk> includes
552<bsd.shlib.mk> to get shared library parameters.
553
554It sets/uses the following variables:
555
556LIB		The name of the library to build.
557
558LIBDIR		Target directory for libraries.
559
560SHLIBINSTALLDIR	Target directory for shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR}
561		is "yes".
562
563USE_SHLIBDIR	If "yes", use ${SHLIBINSTALLDIR} instead of ${LIBDIR}
564		as the path to install shared libraries to.
565		USE_SHLIBDIR must be defined before <bsd.own.mk> is included.
566		Default: no
567
568LINTLIBDIR	Target directory for lint libraries.
569
570LIBGRP		Library group.
571
572LIBOWN		Library owner.
573
574LIBMODE		Library mode.
575
576LDADD		Additional loader objects.
577
578MAN		The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
579
580NOCHECKVER_<library>
581NOCHECKVER	If set, disables checking for installed shared object
582		libraries with versions greater than the source.  A
583		particular library name, without the "lib" prefix, may
584		be appended to the variable name to disable the check for
585		only that library.
586
587SRCS		List of source files to build the library.  Suffix types
588		.s, .c, and .f are supported.  Note, .s files are preferred
589		to .c files of the same name.  (This is not the default for
590		versions of make.)
591
592The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
593if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
594
595It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
596built by default.
597
598Libraries are ranlib'd when made.
599
600
601=-=-=-=-=   bsd.links.mk   =-=-=-=-=
602
603The include file <bsd.links.mk> handles the LINKS and SYMLINKS variables
604and is included from from <bsd.lib.mk> and <bsd.prog.mk>.
605
606LINKS		The list of hard links, consisting of pairs of paths:
607			source-file target-file
608		${DESTDIR} is prepended to both paths before linking.
609		For example, to link /bin/test and /bin/[, use:
610			LINKS=/bin/test /bin/[
611
612SYMLINKS	The list of symbolic links, consisting of pairs of paths:
613			source-file target-file
614		${DESTDIR} is only prepended to target-file before linking.
615		For example, to symlink /usr/bin/tar to /bin/tar resulting
616		in ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/tar -> /bin/tar:
617			SYMLINKS=/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar
618
619
620=-=-=-=-=   bsd.man.mk   =-=-=-=-=
621
622The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
623links.
624
625It has a two targets:
626
627	maninstall:
628		Install the manual page sources and their links.
629	catinstall:
630		Install the preformatted manual pages and their links.
631
632It sets/uses the following variables:
633
634MANDIR		Base path for manual installation.
635
636MANGRP		Manual group.
637
638MANOWN		Manual owner.
639
640MANMODE		Manual mode.
641
642MANSUBDIR	Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax"
643		or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
644
645MAN		The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
646
647MLINKS		List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix).  The
648		linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
649		and there may be multiple pairs.  The files are soft-linked.
650
651The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
652it exists.
653
654
655=-=-=-=-=   bsd.obj.mk   =-=-=-=-=
656
657The include file <bsd.obj.mk> defines targets related to the creation
658and use of separated object and source directories.
659
660If an environment variable named MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set, make(1) uses
661${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} as the name of the object directory if
662it exists.  Otherwise make(1) looks for the existence of a
663subdirectory (or a symlink to a directory) of the source directory
664into which built targets should be placed.  If an environment variable
665named MAKEOBJDIR is set, make(1) uses its value as the name of the
666object directory; failing that, make first looks for a subdirectory
667named "obj.${MACHINE}", and if that doesn't exist, it looks for "obj".
668
669Object directories are not created automatically by make(1) if they
670don't exist; you need to run a separate "make obj".  (This will happen
671during a top-level build if "MKOBJDIRS" is set to a value other than
672"no").  When the source directory is a subdirectory of ${BSDSRCDIR} --
673and this is determined by a simple string prefix comparison -- object
674directories are created in a separate object directory tree, and a
675symlink to the object directory in that tree is created in the source
676directory; otherwise, "make obj" assumes that you're not in the main
677source tree and that it's not safe to use a separate object tree.
678
679Several variables used by <bsd.obj.mk> control exactly what
680directories and links get created during a "make obj":
681
682MAKEOBJDIR	If set, this is the component name of the object
683		directory.
684
685OBJMACHINE	If this is set but MAKEOBJDIR is not set, creates
686		object directories or links named "obj.${MACHINE}";
687		otherwise, just creates ones named "obj".
688
689USR_OBJMACHINE  If set, and the current directory is a subdirectory of
690		${BSDSRCDIR}, create object directory in the
691		corresponding subdirectory of ${BSDOBJDIR}.${MACHINE};
692		otherwise, create it in the corresponding subdirectory
693		of ${BSDOBJDIR}
694
695BUILDID		If set, the contents of this variable are appended
696		to the object directory name.  If OBJMACHINE is also
697		set, ".${BUILDID}" is added after ".${MACHINE}".
698
699
700=-=-=-=-=   bsd.prog.mk   =-=-=-=-=
701
702The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
703more source files, along with their manual pages.  It has a limited number
704of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree. 
705<bsd.prog.mk> includes <bsd.shlib.mk> to get shared library parameters.
706
707It has eight targets:
708
709	all:
710		build the program and its manual page.  This also
711		creates a GDB initialization file (.gdbinit) in
712		the objdir.  The .gdbinit file sets the shared library
713		prefix to ${DESTDIR} to facilitate cross-debugging.
714	clean:
715		remove the program, any object files and the files a.out,
716		Errs, errs, mklog, and ${PROG}.core.
717	cleandir:
718		remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
719		well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
720		`distclean' is a synonym for `cleandir'.
721	depend:
722		make the dependencies for the source files, and store
723		them in the file .depend.
724	includes:
725		install any header files.
726	install:
727		install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
728		does not itself define the target install, the targets
729		beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
730		actions immediately before and after the install target
731		is executed.
732	lint:
733		run lint on the source files
734	tags:
735		create a tags file for the source files.
736
737It sets/uses the following variables:
738
739BINGRP		Binary group.
740
741BINOWN		Binary owner.
742
743BINMODE		Binary mode.
744
745CLEANFILES	Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets.
746
747COPTS		Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
748
749COPTS.<fn>	Additional flags to the compiler when creating the
750		C objects for <fn>.
751		For <fn>.[ly], "<fn>.c" must be used.
752
753CPUFLAGS	Additional flags to the compiler/assembler to select
754		CPU instruction set options, CPU tuning options, etc.
755
756CPUFLAGS.<fn>	Additional flags to the compiler/assembler for <fn>.
757		For <fn>.[ly], "<fn>.c" must be used.
758
759CPPFLAGS	Additional flags to the C pre-processor.
760
761CPPFLAGS.<fn>	Additional flags to the C pre-processor for <fn>.
762		For <fn>.[ly], "<fn>.c" must be used.
763
764GDBINIT		List of GDB initialization files to add to "source"
765		directives in the .gdbinit file that is created in the
766		objdir.
767
768LDADD		Additional loader objects.  Usually used for libraries.
769		For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
770		libraries, use:
771
772			LDADD+=-lutil -lcompat
773
774LDFLAGS		Additional loader flags.
775
776LINKS		See <bsd.links.mk>
777
778SYMLINKS	See <bsd.links.mk>
779
780MAN		Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9).  If no MAN variable is
781		defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
782
783PROG		The name of the program to build.  If not supplied, nothing
784		is built.
785
786PROG_CXX	If defined, the name of the program to build.  Also
787		causes <bsd.prog.mk> to link the program with the C++
788		compiler rather than the C compiler.  PROG_CXX overrides
789		the value of PROG if PROG is also set.
790
791PROGNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
792		different from ${PROG}.
793
794SRCS		List of source files to build the program.  If SRCS is not
795		defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c.
796
797DPSRCS		List of source files which are needed for generating
798		dependencies, but are not needed in ${SRCS}.
799
800DPADD		Additional dependencies for the program.  Usually used for
801		libraries.  For example, to depend on the compatibility and
802		utility libraries use:
803
804			DPADD+=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
805
806		The following libraries are predefined for DPADD:

872
873SHAREDSTRINGS	If defined, a new .c.o rule is used that results in shared
874		strings, using xstr(1). Note that this will not work with
875		parallel makes.
876

913	MAN=	foo.2
914
915If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
916
917	MKMAN=	no
918
919If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
920
921	SRCS=	a.c b.c c.c d.c
922
923
924=-=-=-=-=   bsd.rpc.mk   =-=-=-=-=
925
926The include file <bsd.rpc.mk> contains a makefile fragment used to
927construct source files built by rpcgen.
928
929The following macros may be defined in makefiles which include
930<bsd.rpc.mk> in order to control which files get built and how they
931are to be built:
932
933RPC_INCS:	construct .h file from .x file
934RPC_XDRFILES:	construct _xdr.c from .x file
935		(for marshalling/unmarshalling data types)
936RPC_SVCFILES:	construct _svc.c from .x file
937		(server-side stubs)
938RPC_SVCFLAGS:	Additional flags passed to builds of RPC_SVCFILES.
939
940RPC_XDIR:	Directory containing .x/.h files
941
942
943=-=-=-=-=   bsd.shlib.mk   =-=-=-=-=
944
945The include file <bsd.shlib.mk> computes parameters for shared library
946installation and use.  It defines no targets.  <bsd.own.mk> MUST be
947included before <bsd.shlib.mk>.
948
949<bsd.own.mk> sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
950(defaults are in brackets):
951
952SHLIBINSTALLDIR	If ${USE_SHLIBDIR} is "yes", use ${SHLIBINSTALLDIR} instead of
953		${LIBDIR} as the base path for shared library installation.
954		[/lib]
955
956SHLIBDIR	The path to USE_SHLIBDIR shared libraries to use when building
957		a program.  [/lib for programs in /bin and /sbin, /usr/lib
958		for all others.]
959
960_LIBSODIR	Set to ${SHLIBINSTALLDIR} if ${USE_SHLIBDIR} is "yes",
961		otherwise set to ${LIBDIR}
962
963SHLINKINSTALLDIR Base path for shared linker.  [/libexec]
964
965SHLINKDIR	Path to use for shared linker when building a program.
966		[/libexec for programs in /bin and /sbin, /usr/libexec for
967		all others.]
968
969
970=-=-=-=-=   bsd.subdir.mk   =-=-=-=-=
971
972The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
973subdirectories.  It has the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all,
974clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, lint, and tags.  For all of
975the directories listed in the variable SUBDIR, the specified directory
976will be visited and the target made.  There is also a default target which
977allows the command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in
978the variable SUBDIR.
979
980As a special case, the use of a token .WAIT as an entry in SUBDIR acts
981as a synchronization barrier when multiple make jobs are run; subdirs
982before the .WAIT must complete before any subdirs after .WAIT are
983started.  See make(1) for some caveats on use of .WAIT and other
984special sources.
985
986

988
989The include file <bsd.sys.mk> is used by <bsd.prog.mk> and
990<bsd.lib.mk>.  It contains overrides that are used when building
991the NetBSD source tree.
992

1186		makefiles if a program is not security critical and is
1187		doing bizarre things with format strings which would
1188		be even uglier if rewritten) FORMAT_AUDIT should go in
1189		mk.conf if you're doing format-string auditing.
1190		FORMAT_AUDIT may go away in time.
