3 1.2 skrll This file describes how to bootstrap the native toolchain on a new NetBSD
4 1.2 skrll platform (and how to update the new toolchain files, if needed). These
5 1.2 skrll files may be generated on a cross-compile host without problems.
6 1.1 mrg
7 1.2 skrll NOTE: DO NOT RUN "mknative" BY HAND! It requires the Makefile in this
8 1.2 skrll directory to set up certain environments first.
9 1.2 skrll
10 1.2 skrll Since libc's features change over time, the config.h files can change as a
11 1.2 skrll result; thus the instructions below are the same no matter whether
12 1.2 skrll bootstrapping on a cross or native host. This is important: even on a
13 1.2 skrll "native" host, you should bootstrap the toolchain by building from an
14 1.2 skrll up-to-date source tree to a $DESTDIR using the exact same instructions.
15 1.2 skrll
16 1.2 skrll In these notes, MACHINE is the $MACHINE of the target. These files can be
17 1.2 skrll cross-generated. Though a $MACHINE_ARCH all uses the same config files, you
18 1.2 skrll must pick a specific $MACHINE so that building the requisite bits below will
19 1.2 skrll work.
20 1.2 skrll
21 1.2 skrll 1. Set MKMAINTAINERTOOLS=yes in mk.conf. (Needed so that src/tools/gettext
22 1.2 skrll gets built, eliciting proper HAVE_*GETTEXT* defns in config.h files.)
23 1.2 skrll
24 1.2 skrll 2. Build and install a cross toolchain (via "build.sh -m MACHINE tools").
25 1.2 skrll
26 1.2 skrll 3. In src/tools/gcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE bootstrap-libgcc".
27 1.2 skrll
28 1.10 skrll This will create just enough glue in src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/libgcc/arch
29 1.10 skrll to make it possible to build, based on the toolchain built in
30 1.10 skrll ${.OBJDIR}/build.
31 1.2 skrll Because the files generated in this step contain things like
32 1.4 martin -DCROSS_COMPILE, they are not suitable for committing. Step 8 below
33 1.2 skrll will regenerate the "proper" libgcc config files.
34 1.2 skrll
35 1.2 skrll 4. At top level, do
36 1.7 skrll "nbmake-MACHINE do-distrib-dirs obj includes MKGCC=no MKBINUTILS=no".
37 1.2 skrll
38 1.10 skrll 5. In src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/libgcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE obj includes".
39 1.10 skrll
40 1.10 skrll 6. If the platform sets USE_COMPILERCRTSTUFF=yes, then in
41 1.10 skrll src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/crtstuff/ do "nbmake-MACHINE dependall install"
42 1.2 skrll
43 1.10 skrll 7. In each of src/lib/csu, src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/libgcc,
44 1.10 skrll src/external/lgpl3/gmp/lib/libgmp, src/external/lgpl3/mpfr/lib/libmpfr,
45 1.10 skrll src/external/lgpl2/mpc/lib/libmpc and src/lib,
46 1.10 skrll do "nbmake-MACHINE includes dependall install".
47 1.4 martin
48 1.10 skrll It is important to have LIBISPRIVATE=no while doing src/external/lgpl[23]/*
49 1.2 skrll
50 1.2 skrll Optionally, all of the following may be set in the environment to reduce
51 1.2 skrll the amount of code needed to build at this step. Basically, it must be
52 1.2 skrll possible for static binaries to build and base system libs to exist so
53 1.2 skrll that "configure" can do its job for the target--these MK* options omit
54 1.2 skrll the rest for this stage of the build.
55 1.2 skrll
56 1.2 skrll MKCRYPTO=no
57 1.2 skrll MKLINT=no
58 1.2 skrll MKPROFILE=no
59 1.2 skrll MKSHARE=no
60 1.2 skrll
61 1.4 martin 8. In src/tools/gcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE native-gcc".
62 1.2 skrll
63 1.2 skrll This will do a full configury in ${.OBJDIR}/.native that is a "Canadian"
64 1.2 skrll cross toolchain (--build reflects the host platform, but --host and
65 1.2 skrll --target are the target). The result is a tree that would build a
66 1.2 skrll native-to-NetBSD compiler on a cross host, and mknative pulls glue data
67 1.2 skrll from this.
68 1.2 skrll
69 1.4 martin 9. Try out a full build using "nbmake-MACHINE"; the result should include
70 1.2 skrll a native compiler.
71 1.2 skrll
72 1.4 martin 10. If all is well, commit the glue files added to src/gnu/{lib,usr.bin}/*.
