      1  1.2  skrll $NetBSD: README.mknative,v 1.2 2004/02/12 18:57:08 skrll Exp $
      2  1.1    mrg 
      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  1.2  skrll    This will create just enough glue in src/gnu/lib/libgcc3/arch to make it
     29  1.2  skrll    possible to build, based on the toolchain built in ${.OBJDIR}/build.
     30  1.2  skrll    Because the files generated in this step contain things like
     31  1.2  skrll    -DCROSS_COMPILE, they are not suitable for committing.  Step 7 below
     32  1.2  skrll    will regenerate the "proper" libgcc config files.
     33  1.2  skrll 
     34  1.2  skrll 4. At top level, do
     35  1.2  skrll    "nbmake-MACHINE do-distrib-dirs obj includes MKGCC=no MKBFD=no".
     36  1.2  skrll 
     37  1.2  skrll 5. In src/gnu/lib/libgcc3/libgcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE obj includes".
     38  1.2  skrll 
     39  1.2  skrll 6. In each of src/lib/csu, src/gnu/lib/libgcc3/libgcc, src/lib/libdes, and
     40  1.2  skrll    src/lib, do "nbmake-MACHINE all install".
     41  1.2  skrll 
     42  1.2  skrll    Optionally, all of the following may be set in the environment to reduce
     43  1.2  skrll    the amount of code needed to build at this step.  Basically, it must be
     44  1.2  skrll    possible for static binaries to build and base system libs to exist so
     45  1.2  skrll    that "configure" can do its job for the target--these MK* options omit
     46  1.2  skrll    the rest for this stage of the build.
     47  1.2  skrll 
     48  1.2  skrll    MKCRYPTO=no
     49  1.2  skrll    MKLINT=no
     50  1.2  skrll    MKPROFILE=no
     51  1.2  skrll    MKSHARE=no
     52  1.2  skrll 
     53  1.2  skrll 7. In src/tools/gcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE native-gcc".
     54  1.2  skrll 
     55  1.2  skrll    This will do a full configury in ${.OBJDIR}/.native that is a "Canadian"
     56  1.2  skrll    cross toolchain (--build reflects the host platform, but --host and
     57  1.2  skrll    --target are the target).  The result is a tree that would build a
     58  1.2  skrll    native-to-NetBSD compiler on a cross host, and mknative pulls glue data
     59  1.2  skrll    from this.
     60  1.2  skrll 
     61  1.2  skrll 8. Try out a full build using "nbmake-MACHINE"; the result should include
     62  1.2  skrll    a native compiler.
     63  1.2  skrll 
     64  1.2  skrll 9. If all is well, commit the glue files added to src/gnu/{lib,usr.bin}/*.
