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
61The following variables that control how things are made/installed that
62are not set by default. These should not be set by Makefiles; they're for
63the user to define in MAKECONF (see bsd.own.mk, below) or on the make(1)
64command line:
65
66BUILD 		If defined, 'make install' checks that the targets in the
67		source directories are up-to-date and remakes them if they
68                are out of date, instead of blindly trying to install
69                out of date or non-existent targets.
70
71UPDATE 		If defined, 'make install' only installs targets that are
72		more recently modified in the source directories that their
73		installed counterparts.
74
75UNPRIVILEGED	If defined, don't set the owner/group/mode when installing
76		files or directories.  This allows a non-root "make install".
77
78MKCATPAGES	If "no", don't build or install the catman pages.
79
80MKDOC		If "no", don't build or install the documentation.
81
82MKINFO		If "no", don't build or install Info documentation from
83		Texinfo source files.
84
85MKLINT		If "no", don't build or install the lint libraries.
86
87MKMAN		If "no", don't build or install the man or catman pages.
88		Also acts as "MKCATPAGES=no"
89
90MKNLS		If "no", don't build or install the NLS files and locale
91		definition files.
92
93MKOBJ		If "no", don't enable the rule which creates objdirs.
94		"yes" by default.
95
96MKOBJDIRS	If "no", don't create objdirs during a "make build".
97		"no" by default.
98
99MKPIC		If "no", don't build or install shared libraries.
100
101MKPICINSTALL	If "no", don't install the *_pic.a libraries.
102
103MKPROFILE	If "no", don't build or install the profiling libraries.
104
105MKSHARE		If "no", act as "MKCATPAGES=no MKDOC=no MKINFO=no MKMAN=no
106		MKNLS=no".  I.e, don't build catman pages, documentation,
107		Info documentation, man pages, NLS files, ...
108

111The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
112environment or otherwise.  You probably don't want to touch this file.
113If you intend to run a cross build, you will need to supply the following
114host tools, and configure the following variables properly:
115
116OBJCOPY		objcopy - copy and translate object files
117
118STRIP		strip - Discard symbols from object files
119
120CONFIG		config - build kernel compilation directories
121
122RPCGEN		rpcgen - Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol compiler
123
124MKLOCALE	mklocale - make LC_CTYPE locale files
125
126=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
127
128The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
129links.
130
131It has a two targets:
132
133	maninstall:
134		Install the manual page sources and their links.
135	catinstall:
136		Install the preformatted manual pages and their links.
137
138It sets/uses the following variables:
139
140MANDIR		Base path for manual installation.
141
142MANGRP		Manual group.
143
144MANOWN		Manual owner.
145
146MANMODE		Manual mode.
147
148MANSUBDIR	Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax"
149		or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
150
151MAN		The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
152
153MLINKS		List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix).  The
154		linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
155		and there may be multiple pairs.  The files are soft-linked.
156
157The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
158it exists.
159
160=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
161
162The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains source tree configuration parameters,
163such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and
164a few global "feature configuration" parameters.
165
166It has no targets.
167
168To get system-specific configuration parameters, bsd.own.mk will try to
169include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable.  If MAKECONF is not
170set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf
171is included.  These files may define any of the variables described below.
172
173bsd.own.mk sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
174(defaults are in brackets):
175
176BSDSRCDIR	The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
177		will work correctly. [/usr/src]
178
179BSDOBJDIR	The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
180		will work correctly. [/usr/obj]

232
233NLSMODE		National Language Support files mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
234
235STRIPFLAG	The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
236		to be stripped.  This is to be used when building your
237		own install script so that the entire system can be made
238		stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. [-s]
239
240COPY		The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
241		to be copied rather than moved.  This is to be used when
242		building our own install script so that the entire system
243		can either be installed with copies, or with moves using
244		a single knob. [-c]
245
246Additionally, the following variables may be set by bsd.own.mk or in a
247make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
248process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
249bsd.own.mk):
250
251MKCRYPTO	If set to "no", no cryptography support will be built
252		into the system.  Defaults to "yes".
253
254NOCRYPTO	If set, it is equivalent to setting MKCRYPTO to "no".
255
256MKCRYPTO_IDEA	If set to "yes", IDEA support will be built into
257		libcrypto_idea.a.  Defaults to "no".
258
259MKCRYPTO_RC5	If set to "yes", RC5 support will be built into
260		libcrypto_rc5.a.  Defaults to "no".
261
262MKKERBEROS	If set to "no", disables building Kerberos (v4 or v5)
263		support into various system utilities that support it.
264		Defaults to "yes".  NOTE: This does not affect the
265		building of the Kerberos libraries or infrastructure
266		programs themselves.  To completely disable Kerberos,
267		set MKCRYPTO to "no".
268
269NOKERBEROS	If set, it is equivalent to setting MKKERBEROS to "no".
270
271SKEY		Compile in support for S/key authentication. [yes, set
272		unconditionally]
273
274MANZ		Compress manual pages at installation time.
275
276SYS_INCLUDE	Copy or symlink kernel include files into /usr/include.
277		Possible values are "symlinks" or "copies" (which is
278		the same as the variable being unset).
279
280NOPROFILE	Do not build profiled versions of system libraries
281
282NOPIC		Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
283		do not build shared libraries.  [set if ${MACHINE_ARCH}
284		is "sh3" and ${OBJECT_FMT} is "COFF", unset otherwise.]
285
286NOLINT		Do not build lint libraries.
287
288OBJECT_FMT	Object file format. [set to "ELF" on architectures that
289		use ELF -- currently if ${MACHINE_ARCH} is "alpha",
290		"mipsel", "mipseb", "powerpc", "sparc", "sparc64",
291		"i386" and some m68k machines, or set to "a.out" on
292		other architectures].
293
294MKSOFTFLOAT	If "yes", build with options to enable the compiler to
295		generate output containing library calls for floating
296		point and possibly soft-float library support.  Defaults
297		to "no".
298
299bsd.own.mk is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
300they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
301
302=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
303
304The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
305more source files, along with their manual pages.  It has a limited number
306of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
307
308It has eight targets:
309
310	all:
311		build the program and its manual page
312	clean:
313		remove the program, any object files and the files a.out,
314		Errs, errs, mklog, and ${PROG}.core.
315	cleandir:
316		remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
317		well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
318		`distclean' is a synonym for `cleandir'.
319	depend:
320		make the dependencies for the source files, and store
321		them in the file .depend.
322	includes:
323		install any header files.
324	install:
325		install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
326		does not itself define the target install, the targets
327		beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
328		actions immediately before and after the install target
329		is executed.
330	lint:
331		run lint on the source files
332	tags:
333		create a tags file for the source files.
334
335It sets/uses the following variables:
336
337BINGRP		Binary group.
338
339BINOWN		Binary owner.
340
341BINMODE		Binary mode.
342
343CLEANFILES	Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets.
344
345COPTS		Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
346
347CPPFLAGS	Additional flags to the C pre-processor
348
349LDADD		Additional loader objects.  Usually used for libraries.
350		For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
351		libraries, use:
352
353			LDADD+=-lutil -lcompat
354
355LDFLAGS		Additional loader flags.
356
357LINKS		The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
358		linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
359		file.  The files are hard-linked.  For example, to link
360		/bin/test and /bin/[, use:
361
362			LINKS=	${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[
363
364SYMLINKS	The list of symbolic links; should be full pathnames.
365                Syntax is identical to LINKS. Note that DESTDIR is not
366		automatically included in the link.
367
368MAN		Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9).  If no MAN variable is
369		defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
370
371PROG		The name of the program to build.  If not supplied, nothing
372		is built.
373
374PROGNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
375		different from ${PROG}.
376
377SRCS		List of source files to build the program.  If SRCS is not
378		defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c.
379
380DPADD		Additional dependencies for the program.  Usually used for
381		libraries.  For example, to depend on the compatibility and
382		utility libraries use:
383
384			DPADD+=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
385
386		The following libraries are predefined for DPADD:
387
388		LIBCRT0?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/crt0.o
389		LIBC?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc.a
390		LIBC_PIC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc_pic.a
391		LIBCOMPAT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcompat.a
392		LIBCRYPT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypt.a

396		LIBEDIT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libedit.a
397		LIBFORM?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libform.a
398		LIBGCC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgcc.a
399		LIBGNUMALLOC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgnumalloc.a
400		LIBINTL?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libintl.a
401		LIBIPSEC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libipsec.a
402		LIBKDB?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkdb.a
403		LIBKRB?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkrb.a
404		LIBKVM?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkvm.a
405		LIBL?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libl.a
406		LIBM?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libm.a
407		LIBMENU?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libmenu.a
408		LIBMP?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libmp.a
409		LIBNTP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libntp.a
410		LIBPC?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpc.a
411		LIBPCAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpcap.a
412		LIBPLOT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libplot.a
413		LIBPOSIX?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libposix.a
414		LIBRESOLV?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libresolv.a
415		LIBRPCSVC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/librpcsvc.a
416		LIBSKEY?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libskey.a
417		LIBTERMCAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libtermcap.a
418		LIBTELNET?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libtelnet.a
419		LIBUTIL?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libutil.a
420		LIBWRAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libwrap.a
421		LIBY?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/liby.a
422		LIBZ?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libz.a
423
424
425SHAREDSTRINGS	If defined, a new .c.o rule is used that results in shared
426		strings, using xstr(1). Note that this will not work with
427		parallel makes.
428
429STRIPFLAG	The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
430		to be stripped.
431
432SUBDIR		A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
433		Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
434		subdirectories.
435
436SCRIPTS		A list of interpreter scripts [file.{sh,csh,pl,awk,...}].
437		These are installed exactly like programs.
438
439SCRIPTSNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
440		different from ${SCRIPTS}. These can be further specialized
441		by setting SCRIPTSNAME_<script>.
442
443FILES		A list of files to install. The installation is controlled
444		by the FILESNAME, FILESOWN, FILESGRP, FILESMODE, FILESDIR
445		variables that can be further specialized by FILES<VAR>_<file>
446
447The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
448if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
449
450Some simple examples:
451
452To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use:
453
454	PROG=	foo
455
456	.include <bsd.prog.mk>
457
458To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line:
459
460	MAN=	foo.2
461
462If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
463
464	MKMAN=	no
465
466If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
467
468	SRCS=	a.c b.c c.c d.c
469
470=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
471
472The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
473subdirectories.  It has the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, 
474clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, lint, and tags.  For all of
475the directories listed in the variable SUBDIR, the specified directory 
476will be visited and the target made.  There is also a default target which
477allows the command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in
478the variable SUBDIR.
479
480As a special case, the use of a token .WAIT as an entry in SUBDIR acts
481as a synchronization barrier when multiple make jobs are run; subdirs
482before the .WAIT must complete before any subdirs after .WAIT are
483started.  See make(1) for some caveats on use of .WAIT and other
484special sources.
485
486=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
487
488The include file <bsd.links.mk> handles the LINKS and SYMLINKS variables
489and is included from from bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk.
490
491=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
492
493The include file <bsd.files.mk> handles the FILES variables and is included
494from bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk.
495
496=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
497
498The include file <bsd.inc.mk> defines the includes target and uses two
499variables:
500
501INCS	The list of include files
502
503INCSDIR	The location to install the include files.
504
505=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
506
507The include file <bsd.kinc.mk> defines the many targets (includes,
508subdirectories, etc.), and is used by kernel makefiles to handle
509include file installation.  It is intended to be included alone, by
510kernel Makefiles.  Please see bsd.kinc.mk for more details, and keep
511the documentation in that file up to date.
512
513=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
514
515The include file <bsd.info.mk> is used to generate and install GNU Info
516documentation from respective Texinfo source files.  It defines three
517implicit targets (.txi.info, .texi.info, and .texinfo.info), and uses the
518following variables:
519
520TEXINFO		List of Texinfo source files.  Info documentation will
521		consist of single files with the extension replaced by
522		.info.
523
524INFOFLAGS	Flags to pass to makeinfo.  []
525
526INSTALL_INFO	Name of install-info program.  [install-info]
527
528MAKEINFO	Name of makeinfo program.  [makeinfo]
529
530=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
531
532The include file <bsd.sys.mk> is used by <bsd.prog.mk> and
533<bsd.lib.mk>.  It contains overrides that are used when building
534the NetBSD source tree.  For instance, if "PARALLEL" is defined by
535the program/library Makefile, it includes a set of rules for lex and
536yacc that allow multiple lex and yacc targets to be built in parallel.
537
538Other variables of note (incomplete list):
539
540WARNS		Crank up gcc warning options; WARNS=1 and WARNS=2 are the two
541		distinct levels.
542
543FORMAT_AUDIT	If FORMAT_AUDIT is set, and WFORMAT is set and > 1, turn on
544WFORMAT 	-Wnetbsd-format-audit for extra-stringent format checking.
545		WFORMAT belongs in individual makefiles and/or
546		Makefile.inc files.  (set WFORMAT=1 in individual
547		makefiles if a program is not security critical and is
548		doing bizarre things with format strings which would
549		be even uglier if rewritten) FORMAT_AUDIT should go in
550		mk.conf if you're doing format-string auditing. 
551		FORMAT_AUDIT may go away in time.

555The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries.  It has
556the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend,
557includes, install, lint, and tags.  Additionally, it has a checkver target
558which checks for installed shared object libraries whose version is greater
559that the version of the source. It has a limited number of suffixes,
560consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
561
562It sets/uses the following variables:
563
564LIB		The name of the library to build.
565
566LIBDIR		Target directory for libraries.
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
580MKLINKLIB	If "no", act as "MKPICINSTALL=no MKPROFILE=no".
581		Also:
582			- don't install the .a libraries
583			- don't install _pic.a libraries on PIC systems
584			- don't build .a libraries on PIC systems
585			- don't install the .so symlink on ELF systems
586		I.e, only install the shared library (and the .so.major
587		symlink on ELF).
588
589MKPICLIB	If "no", don't build _pic.a libraries, and build the
590		shared object libraries from the .a libraries.  A
591		symlink is installed in ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib for the
592		_pic.a library pointing to the .a library.
593
594NOCHECKVER_<library>
595NOCHECKVER	If set, disables checking for installed shared object
596		libraries with versions greater than the source.  A
597		particular library name, without the "lib" prefix, may
598		be appended to the variable name to disable the check for
599		only that library.
600
601SRCS		List of source files to build the library.  Suffix types
602		.s, .c, and .f are supported.  Note, .s files are preferred
603		to .c files of the same name.  (This is not the default for
604		versions of make.)
605
606The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
607if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
608
609It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
610built by default.
611
612Libraries are ranlib'd when made.

616The include file <bsd.obj.mk> defines targets related to the creation
617and use of separated object and source directories.
618
619If an environment variable named MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set, make(1) uses
620${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} as the name of the object directory if
621it exists.  Otherwise make(1) looks for the existence of a
622subdirectory (or a symlink to a directory) of the source directory
623into which built targets should be placed.  If an environment variable
624named MAKEOBJDIR is set, make(1) uses its value as the name of the
625object directory; failing that, make first looks for a subdirectory
626named "obj.${MACHINE}", and if that doesn't exist, it looks for "obj".
627
628Object directories are not created automatically by make(1) if they
629don't exist; you need to run a separate "make obj".  (This will happen
630during a top-level build if "MKOBJDIRS" is set to a value other than
631"no").  When the source directory is a subdirectory of ${BSDSRCDIR} --
632and this is determined by a simple string prefix comparison -- object
633directories are created in a separate object directory tree, and a
634symlink to the object directory in that tree is created in the source
635directory; otherwise, "make obj" assumes that you're not in the main
636source tree and that it's not safe to use a separate object tree.
637
638Several variables used by <bsd.obj.mk> control exactly what
639directories and links get created during a "make obj":
640
641MAKEOBJDIR	If set, this is the component name of the object
642		directory.
643
644OBJMACHINE	If this is set but MAKEOBJDIR is not set, creates
645		object directories or links named "obj.${MACHINE}";
646		otherwise, just creates ones named "obj".
647
648USR_OBJMACHINE  If set, and the current directory is a subdirectory of
649		${BSDSRCDIR}, create object directory in the
650		corresponding subdirectory of ${BSDOBJDIR}.${MACHINE};
651		otherwise, create it in the corresponding subdirectory
652		of ${BSDOBJDIR}
653

656The include file <bsd.kernobj.mk> defines variables related to the
657location of kernel sources and object directories.
658
659KERNSRCDIR	Is the location of the top of the kernel src.
660		It defaults to ${BSDSRCDIR}/sys, but the top-level
661		Makefile.inc sets it to ${ABSTOP}/sys (ABSTOP is the
662		absolute path to the directory where the top-level
663		Makefile.inc was found.
664
665KERNARCHDIR	Is the location of the machine dependent kernel
666		sources.  It defaults to arch/${MACHINE}
667		
668KERNCONFDIR	Is where the configuration files for kernels are
669		found; default is ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/conf.
670
671KERNOBJDIR	Is the kernel build directory.  The kernel GENERIC for
672		instance will be compiled in ${KERNOBJDIR}/GENERIC.
673		The default value is
674		${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile
675		if it exists or the target 'obj' is being made.
676		Otherwise the default is
677		${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile.
678
679It is important that Makefiles (such as those under src/distrib) that
680wish to find compiled kernels use bsd.kernobj.mk and ${KERNOBJDIR}
681rather than make assumptions about the location of the compiled kernel.
