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.

12
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
75UNPRIVED	If defined, don't set the owner/group/mode when installing
76		files or directories, and keep a metadata log of what
77		the owner/group/mode should be.  This allows a
78		non-root "make install".
79
80MKBFD		If "no", don't build libbfd, libiberty, or any of
81		the things that depend on them (binutils/gas/ld,
82		gdb, dbsym, mdsetimage).  Only meaningful if
83		USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN is set.
84
85MKCATPAGES	If "no", don't build or install the catman pages.
86
87MKDOC		If "no", don't build or install the documentation.
88
89MKGDB		If "no", don't build gdb.  Only meaningful if
90		USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN is set.
91
92MKGCC		If "no", don't build gcc or any of the gcc-related
93		libraries (libg2c, libgcc, libobjc, libstdc++).
94		Only meaningful if USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN is set.
95
96MKINFO		If "no", don't build or install Info documentation from
97		Texinfo source files.
98
99MKLINT		If "no", don't build or install the lint libraries.
100
101MKMAN		If "no", don't build or install the man or catman pages.
102		Also acts as "MKCATPAGES=no"
103
104MKNLS		If "no", don't build or install the NLS files and locale
105		definition files.
106
107MKOBJ		If "no", don't enable the rule which creates objdirs.
108		"yes" by default.
109
110MKOBJDIRS	If "no", don't create objdirs during a "make build".
111		"no" by default.
112
113MKPIC		If "no", don't build or install shared libraries.
114
115MKPICINSTALL	If "no", don't install the *_pic.a libraries.
116
117MKPROFILE	If "no", don't build or install the profiling libraries.
118
119MKSHARE		If "no", act as "MKCATPAGES=no MKDOC=no MKINFO=no MKMAN=no
120		MKNLS=no".  I.e, don't build catman pages, documentation,
121		Info documentation, man pages, NLS files, ...
122

124
125The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
126environment or otherwise.  You probably don't want to touch this file.
127If you intend to run a cross build, you will need to supply the following
128host tools, and configure the following variables properly:
129
130OBJCOPY		objcopy - copy and translate object files
131
132STRIP		strip - Discard symbols from object files
133
134CONFIG		config - build kernel compilation directories
135
136RPCGEN		rpcgen - Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol compiler
137
138MKLOCALE	mklocale - make LC_CTYPE locale files
139
140MTREE		mtree - build directory tree from a spec file
141
142=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
143
144The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
145links.
146
147It has a two targets:
148
149	maninstall:
150		Install the manual page sources and their links.
151	catinstall:
152		Install the preformatted manual pages and their links.
153
154It sets/uses the following variables:
155
156MANDIR		Base path for manual installation.
157
158MANGRP		Manual group.
159
160MANOWN		Manual owner.
161
162MANMODE		Manual mode.
163
164MANSUBDIR	Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax"
165		or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
166
167MAN		The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
168
169MLINKS		List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix).  The
170		linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
171		and there may be multiple pairs.  The files are soft-linked.
172
173The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
174it exists.
175
176=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
177
178The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains source tree configuration parameters,
179such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and
180a few global "feature configuration" parameters.
181
182It has no targets.
183
184To get system-specific configuration parameters, bsd.own.mk will try to
185include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable.  If MAKECONF is not
186set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf
187is included.  These files may define any of the variables described below.
188
189bsd.own.mk sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
190(defaults are in brackets):
191
192BSDSRCDIR	The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
193		will work correctly. [/usr/src]

218		If not set, programs link according to their makefile.
219
220LIBDIR		Base path for library installation. [/usr/lib]
221
222SHLIBDIR	If ${USE_SHLIBDIR} is "yes", use ${SHLIBDIR} instead of

256NLSOWN		Native Language Support files owner. [root]
257
258NLSMODE		Native Language Support files mode. [${NONBINMODE}]

263		stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. [-s]
264
265COPY		The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
266		to be copied rather than moved.  This is to be used when
267		building our own install script so that the entire system
268		can either be installed with copies, or with moves using
269		a single knob. [-c]
270
271Additionally, the following variables may be set by bsd.own.mk or in a
272make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
273process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
274bsd.own.mk):
275
276MKCRYPTO	If set to "no", no cryptography support will be built
277		into the system.  Defaults to "yes".
278
279NOCRYPTO	If set, it is equivalent to setting MKCRYPTO to "no".
280
281MKCRYPTO_IDEA	If set to "yes", IDEA support will be built into
282		libcrypto_idea.a.  Defaults to "no".
283
284MKCRYPTO_RC5	If set to "yes", RC5 support will be built into
285		libcrypto_rc5.a.  Defaults to "no".
286
287MKKERBEROS	If set to "no", disables building Kerberos (v4 or v5)
288		support into various system utilities that support it.
289		Defaults to "yes".  NOTE: This does not affect the
290		building of the Kerberos libraries or infrastructure
291		programs themselves.  To completely disable Kerberos,
292		set MKCRYPTO to "no".
293
294NOKERBEROS	If set, it is equivalent to setting MKKERBEROS to "no".
295
296SKEY		Compile in support for S/key authentication. [yes, set
297		unconditionally]
298
299MANZ		Compress manual pages at installation time.
300
301SYS_INCLUDE	Copy or symlink kernel include files into /usr/include.
302		Possible values are "symlinks" or "copies" (which is
303		the same as the variable being unset).
304
305NOPROFILE	Do not build profiled versions of system libraries
306
307NOPIC		Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
308		do not build shared libraries.  [set if ${MACHINE_ARCH}
309		is "sh3" and ${OBJECT_FMT} is "COFF", unset otherwise.]
310
311NOLINT		Do not build lint libraries.
312
313OBJECT_FMT	Object file format. [set to "ELF" on architectures that
314		use ELF -- currently if ${MACHINE_ARCH} is "alpha",
315		"mipsel", "mipseb", "powerpc", "sparc", "sparc64",
316		"i386" and some m68k machines, or set to "a.out" on
317		other architectures].
318
319MKSOFTFLOAT	If "yes", build with options to enable the compiler to
320		generate output containing library calls for floating
321		point and possibly soft-float library support.  Defaults
322		to "no".
323
324bsd.own.mk is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
325they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
326

328
329The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
330more source files, along with their manual pages.  It has a limited number
331of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
332
333It has eight targets:
334
335	all:
336		build the program and its manual page
337	clean:
338		remove the program, any object files and the files a.out,
339		Errs, errs, mklog, and ${PROG}.core.
340	cleandir:
341		remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
342		well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
343		`distclean' is a synonym for `cleandir'.
344	depend:
345		make the dependencies for the source files, and store
346		them in the file .depend.
347	includes:
348		install any header files.
349	install:
350		install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
351		does not itself define the target install, the targets
352		beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
353		actions immediately before and after the install target
354		is executed.
355	lint:
356		run lint on the source files
357	tags:
358		create a tags file for the source files.
359
360It sets/uses the following variables:
361
362BINGRP		Binary group.
363
364BINOWN		Binary owner.
365
366BINMODE		Binary mode.
367
368CLEANFILES	Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets.
369
370COPTS		Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
371
372CPPFLAGS	Additional flags to the C pre-processor
373
374LDADD		Additional loader objects.  Usually used for libraries.
375		For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
376		libraries, use:
377
378			LDADD+=-lutil -lcompat
379
380LDFLAGS		Additional loader flags.
381
382LINKS		The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
383		linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
384		file.  The files are hard-linked.  For example, to link
385		/bin/test and /bin/[, use:
386
387			LINKS=	${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[
388
389SYMLINKS	The list of symbolic links; should be full pathnames.
390                Syntax is identical to LINKS. Note that DESTDIR is not
391		automatically included in the link.
392
393MAN		Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9).  If no MAN variable is
394		defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
395
396PROG		The name of the program to build.  If not supplied, nothing
397		is built.
398
399PROG_CXX	If defined, the name of the program to build.  Also
400		causes <bsd.prog.mk> to link the program with the C++
401		compiler rather than the C compiler.  PROG_CXX overrides
402		the value of PROG if PROG is also set.
403
404PROGNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
405		different from ${PROG}.
406
407SRCS		List of source files to build the program.  If SRCS is not
408		defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c.
409
410DPADD		Additional dependencies for the program.  Usually used for
411		libraries.  For example, to depend on the compatibility and
412		utility libraries use:
413
414			DPADD+=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
415
416		The following libraries are predefined for DPADD:
417
418		LIBCRT0?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/crt0.o
419		LIBC?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc.a
420		LIBC_PIC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc_pic.a
421		LIBCOMPAT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcompat.a
422		LIBCRYPT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypt.a
423		LIBCURSES?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcurses.a
424		LIBDBM?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libdbm.a
425		LIBDES?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libdes.a
426		LIBEDIT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libedit.a
427		LIBFORM?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libform.a
428		LIBGCC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgcc.a
429		LIBGNUMALLOC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgnumalloc.a
430		LIBINTL?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libintl.a
431		LIBIPSEC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libipsec.a
432		LIBKDB?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkdb.a
433		LIBKRB?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkrb.a
434		LIBKVM?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkvm.a
435		LIBL?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libl.a
436		LIBM?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libm.a
437		LIBMENU?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libmenu.a
438		LIBMP?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libmp.a
439		LIBNTP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libntp.a
440		LIBPC?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpc.a
441		LIBPCAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpcap.a
442		LIBPLOT?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libplot.a
443		LIBPOSIX?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libposix.a
444		LIBRESOLV?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libresolv.a
445		LIBRPCSVC?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/librpcsvc.a
446		LIBSKEY?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libskey.a
447		LIBTERMCAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libtermcap.a
448		LIBTELNET?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libtelnet.a
449		LIBUTIL?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libutil.a
450		LIBWRAP?=	${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libwrap.a
451		LIBY?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/liby.a
452		LIBZ?=		${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libz.a
453
454HAVE_GCC3	If defined and PROG_CXX is defined by the program's
455		Makefile, causes <bsd.prog.mk> to pull in additional
456		C++ support libraries required for programs compiled
457		with GNU C++ 3.x.  This is intended as a temporary
458		measure to ease the transition to GCC 3.x.
459
460SHAREDSTRINGS	If defined, a new .c.o rule is used that results in shared
461		strings, using xstr(1). Note that this will not work with
462		parallel makes.
463
464STRIPFLAG	The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
465		to be stripped.
466
467SUBDIR		A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
468		Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
469		subdirectories.
470
471SCRIPTS		A list of interpreter scripts [file.{sh,csh,pl,awk,...}].
472		These are installed exactly like programs.
473
474SCRIPTSNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
475		different from ${SCRIPTS}. These can be further specialized
476		by setting SCRIPTSNAME_<script>.
477
478FILES		A list of files to install. The installation is controlled
479		by the FILESNAME, FILESOWN, FILESGRP, FILESMODE, FILESDIR
480		variables that can be further specialized by FILES<VAR>_<file>
481
482SHLINKDIR	Target directory for shared linker.
483
484The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
485if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
486
487Some simple examples:
488
489To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use:
490
491	PROG=	foo
492
493	.include <bsd.prog.mk>
494
495To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line:
496
497	MAN=	foo.2
498
499If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
500
501	MKMAN=	no
502
503If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
504
505	SRCS=	a.c b.c c.c d.c
506
507=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
508
509The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
510subdirectories.  It has the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, 
511clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, lint, and tags.  For all of
512the directories listed in the variable SUBDIR, the specified directory 
513will be visited and the target made.  There is also a default target which
514allows the command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in
515the variable SUBDIR.
516
517As a special case, the use of a token .WAIT as an entry in SUBDIR acts
518as a synchronization barrier when multiple make jobs are run; subdirs
519before the .WAIT must complete before any subdirs after .WAIT are
520started.  See make(1) for some caveats on use of .WAIT and other
521special sources.
522
523=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
524
525The include file <bsd.links.mk> handles the LINKS and SYMLINKS variables
526and is included from from bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk.
527
528=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
529
530The include file <bsd.files.mk> handles the FILES variables and is included
531from bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk.
532
533=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
534
535The include file <bsd.inc.mk> defines the includes target and uses two
536variables:
537
538INCS		The list of include files
539
540INCSDIR		The location to install the include files.
541
542INCSNAME	Target name of the include file, if only one; same as
543		FILESNAME, but for include files.
544
545INCSNAME_<file>	The name file <file> should be installed as, if not <file>,
546		same as FILESNAME_<file>, but for include files.

550The include file <bsd.kinc.mk> defines the many targets (includes,
551subdirectories, etc.), and is used by kernel makefiles to handle
552include file installation.  It is intended to be included alone, by
553kernel Makefiles.  Please see bsd.kinc.mk for more details, and keep
554the documentation in that file up to date.

558The include file <bsd.info.mk> is used to generate and install GNU Info
559documentation from respective Texinfo source files.  It defines three
560implicit targets (.txi.info, .texi.info, and .texinfo.info), and uses the
561following variables:
562
563TEXINFO		List of Texinfo source files.  Info documentation will
564		consist of single files with the extension replaced by
565		.info.
566
567INFOFLAGS	Flags to pass to makeinfo.  []
568
569INSTALL_INFO	Name of install-info program.  [install-info]
570
571MAKEINFO	Name of makeinfo program.  [makeinfo]

575The include file <bsd.sys.mk> is used by <bsd.prog.mk> and
576<bsd.lib.mk>.  It contains overrides that are used when building
577the NetBSD source tree.  For instance, if "PARALLEL" is defined by
578the program/library Makefile, it includes a set of rules for lex and
579yacc that allow multiple lex and yacc targets to be built in parallel.
580
581Other variables of note (incomplete list):
582
583WARNS		Crank up gcc warning options; the distinct levels are:
584			WARNS=1
585			WARNS=2
586			WARNS=3
587
588FORMAT_AUDIT	If FORMAT_AUDIT is set, and WFORMAT is set and > 1, turn on
589WFORMAT 	-Wnetbsd-format-audit for extra-stringent format checking.
590		WFORMAT belongs in individual makefiles and/or
591		Makefile.inc files.  (set WFORMAT=1 in individual
592		makefiles if a program is not security critical and is
593		doing bizarre things with format strings which would
594		be even uglier if rewritten) FORMAT_AUDIT should go in
595		mk.conf if you're doing format-string auditing. 
596		FORMAT_AUDIT may go away in time.

600The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries.  It has
601the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend,
602includes, install, lint, and tags.  Additionally, it has a checkver target
603which checks for installed shared object libraries whose version is greater
604that the version of the source. It has a limited number of suffixes,
605consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
606
607It sets/uses the following variables:
608
609LIB		The name of the library to build.
610
611LIBDIR		Target directory for libraries.
612
613SHLIBDIR	Target directory for shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR}
614		is "yes".
615
616USE_SHLIBDIR	If "yes", use ${SHLIBDIR} instead of ${LIBDIR}
617		as the path to install shared libraries to.
618
619LINTLIBDIR	Target directory for lint libraries.
620
621LIBGRP		Library group.
622
623LIBOWN		Library owner.
624
625LIBMODE		Library mode.
626
627LDADD		Additional loader objects.
628
629MAN		The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
630
631MKLINKLIB	If "no", act as "MKPICINSTALL=no MKPROFILE=no".
632		Also:
633			- don't install the .a libraries
634			- don't install _pic.a libraries on PIC systems
635			- don't build .a libraries on PIC systems
636			- don't install the .so symlink on ELF systems
637		I.e, only install the shared library (and the .so.major
638		symlink on ELF).
639
640MKPICLIB	If "no", don't build _pic.a libraries, and build the
641		shared object libraries from the .a libraries.  A
642		symlink is installed in ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib for the
643		_pic.a library pointing to the .a library.
644
645NOCHECKVER_<library>
646NOCHECKVER	If set, disables checking for installed shared object
647		libraries with versions greater than the source.  A
648		particular library name, without the "lib" prefix, may
649		be appended to the variable name to disable the check for
650		only that library.
651
652SRCS		List of source files to build the library.  Suffix types
653		.s, .c, and .f are supported.  Note, .s files are preferred
654		to .c files of the same name.  (This is not the default for
655		versions of make.)
656
657The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
658if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
659
660It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
661built by default.
662
663Libraries are ranlib'd when made.

667The include file <bsd.obj.mk> defines targets related to the creation
668and use of separated object and source directories.
669
670If an environment variable named MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set, make(1) uses
671${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} as the name of the object directory if
672it exists.  Otherwise make(1) looks for the existence of a
673subdirectory (or a symlink to a directory) of the source directory
674into which built targets should be placed.  If an environment variable
675named MAKEOBJDIR is set, make(1) uses its value as the name of the
676object directory; failing that, make first looks for a subdirectory
677named "obj.${MACHINE}", and if that doesn't exist, it looks for "obj".
678
679Object directories are not created automatically by make(1) if they
680don't exist; you need to run a separate "make obj".  (This will happen
681during a top-level build if "MKOBJDIRS" is set to a value other than
682"no").  When the source directory is a subdirectory of ${BSDSRCDIR} --
683and this is determined by a simple string prefix comparison -- object
684directories are created in a separate object directory tree, and a
685symlink to the object directory in that tree is created in the source
686directory; otherwise, "make obj" assumes that you're not in the main
687source tree and that it's not safe to use a separate object tree.
688
689Several variables used by <bsd.obj.mk> control exactly what
690directories and links get created during a "make obj":
691
692MAKEOBJDIR	If set, this is the component name of the object
693		directory.
694
695OBJMACHINE	If this is set but MAKEOBJDIR is not set, creates
696		object directories or links named "obj.${MACHINE}";
697		otherwise, just creates ones named "obj".
698
699USR_OBJMACHINE  If set, and the current directory is a subdirectory of
700		${BSDSRCDIR}, create object directory in the
701		corresponding subdirectory of ${BSDOBJDIR}.${MACHINE};
702		otherwise, create it in the corresponding subdirectory
703		of ${BSDOBJDIR}
704

706
707The include file <bsd.kernobj.mk> defines variables related to the
708location of kernel sources and object directories.
709
710KERNSRCDIR	Is the location of the top of the kernel src.
711		It defaults to ${BSDSRCDIR}/sys, but the top-level
712		Makefile.inc sets it to ${ABSTOP}/sys (ABSTOP is the
713		absolute path to the directory where the top-level
714		Makefile.inc was found.
715
716KERNARCHDIR	Is the location of the machine dependent kernel
717		sources.  It defaults to arch/${MACHINE}
718		
719KERNCONFDIR	Is where the configuration files for kernels are
720		found; default is ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/conf.
721
722KERNOBJDIR	Is the kernel build directory.  The kernel GENERIC for
723		instance will be compiled in ${KERNOBJDIR}/GENERIC.
724		The default value is
725		${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile
726		if it exists or the target 'obj' is being made.
727		Otherwise the default is
728		${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile.
729
730It is important that Makefiles (such as those under src/distrib) that
731wish to find compiled kernels use bsd.kernobj.mk and ${KERNOBJDIR}
732rather than make assumptions about the location of the compiled kernel.
