The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are, by 8convention, named with the suffix ".mk". 9 10bsd.dep.mk - handle Makefile dependencies 11bsd.doc.mk - building troff system documents 12bsd.info.mk - building GNU Info hypertext system 13bsd.kern.mk - define warning flags for compiling the kernel 14bsd.kmod.mk - building loadable kernel modules 15bsd.lib.mk - support for building libraries 16bsd.libnames.mk - define library names 17bsd.man.mk - installing manual pages and their links 18bsd.obj.mk - creating 'obj' directories and cleaning up 19bsd.own.mk - define common variables 20bsd.port.mk - building ports 21bsd.port.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories for ports 22bsd.prog.mk - building programs from source files 23bsd.sgml.mk - building SGML documents 24bsd.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories 25 26 27Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk 28files for anything tricky. 29 30See also make(1), mkdep(1) and `PMake - A Tutorial', 31located in /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make. 32 33=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 34 35RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING: 36 37The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like 38you'd expect. The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is 39used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>". 40 41One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion 42of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile. The reason for 43this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the 44values of variables set in the Makefile. To make this work, remember that 45the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has: 46 47 a: 48 echo a 49 a: 50 echo a number two 51 52the command "make a" will echo "a". To make things confusing, the SECOND 53variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has: 54 55 a= foo 56 a= bar 57 58 b: 59 echo ${a} 60 61the command "make b" will echo "bar". This is for compatibility with the 62way the V7 make behaved. 63 64It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building 65multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier split up the 66programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from making 67the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switch to a new version 68of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple 69architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff. (Imake doesn't 70count.) 71 72The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies 73for the source files. This file is read automatically by make after reading 74the Makefile. 75 76The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change 77the tree where the file gets installed. 78 79The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than 80the regular libraries. A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled 81object. 82 83=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 84 85The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD 86environment or otherwise. You probably don't want to touch this file. 87 88=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 89 | 1# @(#)bsd.README 8.2 (Berkeley) 4/2/94 2# $Id: bsd.README,v 1.11 1997/03/09 15:51:07 wosch Exp $ 3 4XXX This document is seriously out of date, it is currenly being revised. 5 6This is the README file for the new make "include" files for the BSD 7source tree.

95The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their 96links. 97 98It has a single target: 99 100 maninstall: 101 Install the manual pages and their links. 102 103It sets/uses the following variables: 104 105MANDIR Base path for manual installation. 106 107MANGRP Manual group. 108 109MANOWN Manual owner. 110 111MANMODE Manual mode. 112 113MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax" 114 or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages. 115 116MAN1 ... MAN8 The manual pages to be installed (use a .0 suffix). 117 118MLINKS List of manual page links (using a .1 - .8 suffix). The 119 linked-to file must come first, the linked file second, 120 and there may be multiple pairs. The files are soft-linked. 121 122The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes the include file <bsd.inc.mk>. 123 124=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 125 126The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains the owners, groups, etc. for both 127manual pages and binaries. 128 129It has no targets. 130 131It sets/uses the following variables: 132 133BINGRP Binary group. 134 135BINOWN Binary owner. 136 137BINMODE Binary mode. 138 139STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary 140 to be stripped. This is to be used when building your 141 own install script so that the entire system can be made 142 stripped/not-stripped using a single nob. 143 144MANDIR Base path for manual installation. 145 146MANGRP Manual group. 147 148MANOWN Manual owner. 149 150MANMODE Manual mode. 151 152This file is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that 153they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree. 154 155=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 156 157The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or 158more source files, along with their manual pages. It has a limited number 159of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree. 160 161It has seven targets: 162 163 all: 164 build the program and its manual page 165 clean: 166 remove the program, any object files and the files a.out, 167 Errs, errs, mklog, and ${PROG}.core. 168 cleandir: 169 remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as 170 well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages. 171 depend: 172 make the dependencies for the source files, and store 173 them in the file .depend. 174 install: 175 install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile 176 does not itself define the target install, the targets 177 beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause 178 actions immediately before and after the install target 179 is executed. 180 lint: 181 run lint on the source files 182 tags: 183 create a tags file for the source files. 184 185It sets/uses the following variables: 186 187BINGRP Binary group. 188 189BINOWN Binary owner. 190 191BINMODE Binary mode. 192 193CLEANFILES Additional files to remove and 194CLEANDIRS additional directories to remove during clean and cleandir 195 targets. "rm -f" and "rm -rf" used respectively. 196 197COPTS Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects. 198 199HIDEGAME If HIDEGAME is defined, the binary is installed in 200 /usr/games/hide, and a symbolic link is created to 201 /usr/games/dm. 202 203LDADD Additional loader objects. Usually used for libraries. 204 For example, to load with the compatibility and utility 205 libraries, use: 206 207 LDFILES=-lutil -lcompat 208 209LDFLAGS Additional loader flags. 210 211LINKS The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the 212 linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked 213 file. The files are hard-linked. For example, to link 214 /bin/test and /bin/[, use: 215 216 LINKS= ${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[ 217 218MAN1...MAN8 Manual pages (should end in .0). If no MAN variable is 219 defined, "MAN1=${PROG}.0" is assumed. 220 221PROG The name of the program to build. If not supplied, nothing 222 is built. 223 224SRCS List of source files to build the program. If PROG is not 225 defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c. 226 227DPADD Additional dependencies for the program. Usually used for 228 libraries. For example, to depend on the compatibility and 229 utility libraries use: 230 231 SRCLIB=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL} 232 233 There is a predefined identifier for each (non-profiled, 234 non-shared) library and object. Library file names are 235 transformed to identifiers by removing the extension and 236 converting to upper case. 237 238 There are no special identifiers for profiled or shared 239 libraries or objects. The identifiers for the standard 240 libraries are used in DPADD. This works correctly iff all 241 the libraries are built at the same time. Unfortunately, 242 it causes unnecessary relinks to shared libraries when 243 only the static libraries have changed. Dependencies on 244 shared libraries should be only on the library version 245 numbers. 246 247STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary 248 to be stripped. 249 250SUBDIR A list of subdirectories that should be built as well. 251 Each of the targets will execute the same target in the 252 subdirectories. 253 254The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the include files <bsd.inc.mk> 255and <bsd.man.mk>. 256 257Some simple examples: 258 259To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use: 260 261 PROG= foo 262 263 .include <bsd.prog.mk> 264 265To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line: 266 267 MAN2= foo.0 268 269If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line: 270 271 NOMAN= noman 272 273If foo has multiple source files, add the line: 274 275 SRCS= a.c b.c c.c d.c 276 277=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 278 279The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building 280subdirectories. It has the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, 281cleandir, depend, install, lint, and tags. For all of the directories 282listed in the variable SUBDIRS, the specified directory will be visited 283and the target made. There is also a default target which allows the 284command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in the variable 285SUBDIRS. 286 287=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 288 289The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries. It has 290the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend, 291install, lint, and tags. It has a limited number of suffixes, consistent 292with the current needs of the BSD tree. 293 294It sets/uses the following variables: 295 296LIBDIR Target directory for libraries. 297 298LINTLIBDIR Target directory for lint libraries. 299 300LIBGRP Library group. 301 302LIBOWN Library owner. 303 304LIBMODE Library mode. 305 306LDADD Additional loader objects. 307 308MAN1 ... MAN8 The manual pages to be installed (use a .0 suffix). 309 310SRCS List of source files to build the library. Suffix types 311 .s, .c, and .f are supported. Note, .s files are preferred 312 to .c files of the same name. (This is not the default for 313 versions of make.) 314 315The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the include files <bsd.inc.mk> 316and <bsd.man.mk>. 317 318It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are 319built by default. 320 321Libraries are ranlib'd before installation. | 90The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their 91links. 92 93It has a single target: 94 95 maninstall: 96 Install the manual pages and their links. 97 98It sets/uses the following variables: 99 100MANDIR Base path for manual installation. 101 102MANGRP Manual group. 103 104MANOWN Manual owner. 105 106MANMODE Manual mode. 107 108MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax" 109 or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages. 110 111MAN1 ...
