BUILDING revision 1.70
1BUILDING(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual BUILDING(8) 2 3NAME 4 BUILDING -- Procedure for building NetBSD from source code. 5 6REQUIREMENTS 7 NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems. 8 The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the 9 same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or 10 OS). 11 12 This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the 13 host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture. The 14 host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the 15 toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of 16 the NetBSD build process. (See the environment variables section below 17 if you need to override or manually select your compilers.) 18 19FILES 20 Source tree layout 21 doc/BUILDING.mdoc 22 This document (in -mdoc troff format; the original copy). 23 24 BUILDING This document (in plaintext). 25 26 tools/compat/README 27 Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on non- 28 NetBSD platforms. 29 30 Makefile The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for 31 native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of 32 NetBSD make(1). (For building from out-of-date systems or 33 on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.) 34 35 UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of 36 NetBSD. It is important to read this file before every 37 build of an updated source tree. 38 39 build.sh Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host 40 build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch. Can be 41 used for both native and cross builds, and should be used 42 instead of make(1) for any source tree that is updated and 43 recompiled regularly. 44 45 crypto/dist/, dist/, gnu/dist/ 46 Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without man- 47 gling the existing build structure. Other source trees in 48 bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1) ``reachover'' 49 Makefile semantics when building these programs for a 50 native host. 51 52 distrib/, etc/ 53 Sources for items used when making a full release snap- 54 shot, such as files installed in DESTDIR/etc on the desti- 55 nation system, boot media, and release notes. 56 57 tests/, regress/ 58 Regression test harness. Can be cross-compiled, but only 59 run natively. tests/ uses the atf(7) test framework; 60 regress/ contains older tests that have not yet been 61 migrated to atf(7). 62 63 sys/ NetBSD kernel sources. 64 65 tools/ ``Reachover'' build structure for the host build tools. 66 This has a special method of determining out-of-date sta- 67 tus. 68 69 bin/ ... usr.sbin/ 70 Sources to the NetBSD userland (non-kernel) programs. If 71 any of these directories are missing, they will be skipped 72 during the build. 73 74 x11/ ``Reachover'' build structure for X11R6; the source is in 75 X11SRCDIR. 76 77 Build tree layout 78 The NetBSD build tree is described in hier(7), and the release layout is 79 described in release(7). 80 81CONFIGURATION 82 Environment variables 83 Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds. 84 85 HOST_SH Path name to a POSIX-compliant shell. If this is not 86 set explicitly, then the default is set using heuris- 87 tics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell 88 under which build.sh is executed (if that can be deter- 89 mined), or using the first copy of sh found in PATH. 90 If the host system's /bin/sh is not POSIX-compliant, we 91 suggest that you build using commands like 92 93 HOST_SH=/path/to/working/shell 94 export HOST_SH 95 ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options] 96 97 HOST_CC Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain. 98 99 HOST_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain. 100 101 MACHINE Machine type, e.g., ``macppc''. 102 103 MACHINE_ARCH Machine architecture, e.g., ``powerpc''. 104 105 MAKE Path name to invoke make(1) as. 106 107 MAKEFLAGS Flags to invoke make(1) with. 108 109 MAKEOBJDIR Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc- 110 tory. The value is subjected to variable expansion by 111 make(1). Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined. 112 MAKEOBJDIR can only be provided in the environment or 113 via the -O flag of build.sh. 114 115 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Top level directory of the object directory tree. If 116 specified, must be an absolute path. If this is 117 defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the 118 .OBJDIR for the current directory. The current direc- 119 tory may be read only. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only be 120 provided in the environment or via the -M flag of 121 build.sh. 122 123 "make" variables 124 Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds. Unless other- 125 wise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environ- 126 ment or the make(1) configuration file specified by MAKECONF. 127 128 BUILDID Identifier for the build. The identifier will be appended to 129 object directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1) 130 configuration file in order to set additional build parame- 131 ters, such as compiler flags. 132 133 DESTDIR Directory to contain the built NetBSD system. If set, spe- 134 cial options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent 135 their default use of the host system's /usr/include, 136 /usr/lib, and so forth. This pathname must be an absolute 137 path, and should not end with a slash (/) character. (For 138 installation into the system's root directory, set DESTDIR to 139 an empty string, not to ``/''). The directory must reside on 140 a file system which supports long file names and hard links. 141 142 Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset other- 143 wise. 144 145 Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE (in 146 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode. 147 148 MAKECONF The name of the make(1) configuration file. Only settable in 149 the process environment. 150 151 Default: ``/etc/mk.conf'' 152 153 MAKEVERBOSE 154 Level of verbosity of status messages. Supported values: 155 156 0 No descriptive messages are shown. 157 158 1 Descriptive messages are shown. 159 160 2 Descriptive messages (prefixed with a `#') and command 161 output is not suppressed. 162 163 Default: 2 164 165 MKCATPAGES Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether prefor- 166 matted plaintext manual pages will be created during a build. 167 168 Default: ``yes'' 169 170 MKCRYPTO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether crypto- 171 graphic code will be included in a build; provided for the 172 benefit of countries that do not allow strong cryptography. 173 Will not affect use of the standard low-security password 174 encryption system, crypt(3). 175 176 Default: ``yes'' 177 178 MKDOC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether system 179 documentation destined for DESTDIR/usr/share/doc will be 180 installed during a build. 181 182 Default: ``yes'' 183 184 MKHOSTOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set to ``yes'', then for 185 programs intended to be run on the compile host, the name, 186 release, and architecture of the host operating system will 187 be suffixed to the name of the object directory created by 188 ``make obj''. (This allows multiple host systems to compile 189 NetBSD for a single target.) If set to ``no'', then programs 190 built to be run on the compile host will use the same object 191 directory names as programs built to be run on the target. 192 193 Default: ``no'' 194 195 MKINFO Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether GNU Info 196 files, used for the documentation for most of the compilation 197 tools, will be created and installed during a build. 198 199 Default: ``yes'' 200 201 MKLINT Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether lint(1) 202 will be run against portions of the NetBSD source code during 203 the build, and whether lint libraries will be installed into 204 DESTDIR/usr/libdata/lint. 205 206 Default: ``yes'' 207 208 MKMAN Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether manual 209 pages will be installed during a build. 210 211 Default: ``yes'' 212 213 MKNLS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether Native 214 Language System locale zone files will be compiled and 215 installed during a build. 216 217 Default: ``yes'' 218 219 MKOBJ Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether object 220 directories will be created when running ``make obj''. If 221 set to ``no'', then all built files will be located inside 222 the regular source tree. 223 224 Default: ``yes'' 225 226 Note that setting MKOBJ to ``no'' is not recommended and may 227 cause problems when updating the tree with cvs(1). 228 229 MKPIC Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether shared 230 objects and libraries will be created and installed during a 231 build. If set to ``no'', the entire built system will be 232 statically linked. 233 234 Default: Platform dependent. As of this writing, all plat- 235 forms except sh3 default to ``yes''. 236 237 MKPICINSTALL 238 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether the ar(1) 239 format libraries (lib*_pic.a), used to generate shared 240 libraries, are installed during a build. 241 242 Default: ``yes'' 243 244 MKPROFILE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether profiled 245 libraries (lib*_p.a) will be built and installed during a 246 build. 247 248 Default: ``yes''; however, some platforms turn off MKPROFILE 249 by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled 250 code. 251 252 MKSHARE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether files 253 destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and 254 installed during a build. If set to ``no'', then all of 255 MKCATPAGES, MKDOC, MKINFO, MKMAN, and MKNLS will be set to 256 ``no'' unconditionally. 257 258 Default: ``yes'' 259 260 MKTTINTERP Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. For X builds, decides if 261 the TrueType bytecode interpreter is turned on. See 262 http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for details. 263 264 Default: ``no'' 265 266 MKUNPRIVED Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether an 267 unprivileged install will occur. The user, group, permis- 268 sions, and file flags, will not be set on the installed 269 items; instead the information will be appended to a file 270 called METALOG in DESTDIR. The contents of METALOG are used 271 during the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure 272 that the appropriate file ownership is stored. 273 274 Default: ``no'' 275 276 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether all 277 install operations intended to write to DESTDIR will compare 278 file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase 279 if the destination files are up-to-date. This also has 280 implications on full builds (see next subsection). 281 282 Default: ``no'' 283 284 MKX11 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether X11R6 is 285 built from X11SRCDIR. 286 287 Default: ``no'' 288 289 TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If specified, 290 must be an absolute path. This directory should be unique to 291 a given host system and NetBSD source tree. (However, multi- 292 ple targets may share the same TOOLDIR; the target-dependent 293 files have unique names.) If unset, a default based on the 294 uname(1) information of the host platform will be created in 295 the .OBJDIR of src. 296 297 Default: Unset. 298 299 USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by TOOLDIR should be 300 used as part of a build in progress. Must be set to ``yes'' 301 if cross-compiling. 302 303 yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR. 304 305 no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build 306 native compilation tool components that are version- 307 specific for that tool. 308 309 never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building 310 native tool components. This is similar to the tradi- 311 tional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that 312 the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in 313 order to build the tree successfully. This may cause 314 build or runtime problems when building the whole 315 NetBSD source tree. 316 317 Default: ``yes'' 318 319 X11SRCDIR Directory containing the X11R6 source. If specified, must be 320 an absolute path. The main X11R6 source is found in 321 X11SRCDIR/xfree/xc. 322 323 Default: ``/usr/xsrc'' 324 325 "make" variables for full builds 326 These variables only affect the top level ``Makefile'' and do not affect 327 manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code. 328 329 INSTALLWORLDDIR Location for the ``make installworld'' target to install 330 to. If specified, must be an absolute path. 331 332 Default: ``/'' 333 334 MKOBJDIRS Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. Indicates whether 335 object directories will be created automatically (via a 336 ``make obj'' pass) at the start of a build. 337 338 Default: ``no'' 339 340 If using build.sh, the default is ``yes''. This may be 341 set back to ``no'' by giving build.sh the -o option. 342 343 MKUPDATE Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''. If set, then in addi- 344 tion to the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above, 345 this implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., ``make 346 cleandir'' is avoided). 347 348 Default: ``no'' 349 350 If using build.sh, this may be set by giving the -u 351 option. 352 353 NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the make(1) option -j, instead. See 354 below. 355 356 Default: Unset. 357 358 NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full 359 build. This has the effect of allowing only changed 360 files in a source tree to be recompiled. This can speed 361 up builds when updating only a few files in the tree. 362 363 Default: Unset. 364 365 See also MKUPDATE. 366 367 NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full 368 build. This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful 369 on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or 370 where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have 371 not changed. 372 373 Default: Unset. 374 375 NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full 376 build. This has the effect of preventing make(1) from 377 thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply 378 because the system include files have changed. However, 379 this option should not be used when updating the entire 380 NetBSD source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use 381 MKUPDATE=yes instead in that case. 382 383 Default: Unset. 384 385 RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7) 386 layout will be written at the end of a ``make release''. 387 If specified, must be an absolute path. 388 389 Default: Unset. 390 391 Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in 392 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode. 393 394BUILDING 395 "make" command line options 396 This is not a summary of all the options available to make(1); only the 397 options used most frequently with NetBSD builds are listed here. 398 399 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel. Makefiles should 400 use .WAIT or have explicit dependencies as necessary to 401 enforce build ordering. If you see build failures with -j, 402 please save complete build logs so the failures can be ana- 403 lyzed. 404 405 -m dir Specify the default directory for searching for system Make- 406 file segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files. When building any 407 full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the 408 ``share/mk'' directory in the source tree. This is set auto- 409 matically when building from the top level, or when using 410 build.sh. 411 412 -n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not 413 actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to 414 take place. 415 416 -V var Print make(1)'s idea of the value of var. Does not build any 417 targets. 418 419 var=value Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting speci- 420 fied by the process environment, the MAKECONF configuration 421 file, or the system Makefile segments. 422 423 "make" targets 424 These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of 425 the NetBSD source code. It is recommended that none of these be used 426 from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, ``make obj'' and 427 ``make cleandir'' are useful in that context. 428 429 all Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation. 430 431 clean Remove program and library object code files. 432 433 cleandir Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, 434 dependency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other 435 files known to be created at build time. 436 437 depend Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed 438 information about the dependencies of source code on header 439 files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a 440 dependency changes. 441 442 dependall Does a ``make depend'' immediately followed by a ``make all''. 443 This improves cache locality of the build since both passes 444 read the source files in their entirety. 445 446 distclean Synonym for cleandir. 447 448 includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed 449 before any system libraries or programs can be built. 450 451 install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR. 452 Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, 453 DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied 454 configuration data from being overwritten. 455 456 lint Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and 457 generate system-installed lint libraries. 458 459 obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead 460 of building directly in the source tree. 461 462 tags Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1) 463 and vi(1) text editors. 464 465 "make" targets for the top level 466 Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source 467 level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree. 468 469 build Build the entire NetBSD system (except the kernel). This 470 orders portions of the source tree such that prerequisites 471 will be built in the proper order. 472 473 distribution Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution 474 (which does not include a kernel) into DESTDIR, including 475 files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc, DESTDIR/root and 476 DESTDIR/var. 477 478 buildworld As per ``make distribution'', except that it ensures that 479 DESTDIR is not the root directory. 480 481 installworld Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR, 482 which defaults to the root directory. Ensures that 483 INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross compil- 484 ing. 485 486 The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a list 487 of distribution sets to be installed. By default, all sets 488 except ``etc'' and ``xetc'' are installed, so most files in 489 INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or modified. 490 491 Note: Before performing this operation with 492 INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you 493 upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this 494 operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to 495 update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc and that you use 496 postinstall(8) to check for inconsistencies (and possibly 497 to fix them). 498 499 sets Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into 500 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/sets. Should be run 501 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 502 not install all of the required files. 503 504 sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into 505 RELEASEDIR/source/sets. 506 507 syspkgs Create syspkgs from DESTDIR into 508 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/syspkgs. Should be run 509 after ``make distribution'', as ``make build'' alone does 510 not install all of the required files. 511 512 release Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution 513 media, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and 514 then package the system into a standard release layout as 515 described by release(7). This requires that RELEASEDIR be 516 set (see above). 517 518 iso-image Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 519 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 520 a layout as described in release(7). 521 522 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 523 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 524 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 525 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 526 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 527 528 Before ``make iso-image'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be 529 populated by ``make release'' or equivalent. 530 531 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 532 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 533 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 534 contain the same tools as the larger images in 535 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 536 as the distribution sets. 537 538 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 539 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 540 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 541 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 542 543 iso-image-source 544 Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the 545 RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have 546 a layout as described in release(7). It will have top 547 level directories for the machine type and source. 548 549 For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and 550 will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa- 551 tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a 552 NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that 553 may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation. 554 555 Before ``make iso-image-source'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR 556 must be populated by ``make sourcesets release'' or equiva- 557 lent. 558 559 Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in 560 the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom direc- 561 tory by ``make release''. These smaller images usually 562 contain the same tools as the larger images in 563 RELEASEDIR/iso, but do not contain additional content such 564 as the distribution sets. 565 566 Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of 567 creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util- 568 ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be 569 installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools. 570 571 regression-tests 572 Can only be run after building the regression tests in the 573 directory ``regress''. Runs those compiled regression 574 tests on the local host. Note that most tests are now man- 575 aged instead using atf(7); this target should probably run 576 those as well but currently does not. 577 578 The "build.sh" script 579 This script file is a Bourne shell script designed to build the entire 580 NetBSD system on any host with a Bourne shell in /bin/sh, including many 581 that are not POSIX compliant. Note that if a host system's /bin/sh is 582 unusually old and broken, the Korn Shell (/bin/ksh), if available, may be 583 a usable alternative. 584 585 All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system 586 should make use of build.sh rather than just running ``make''. This way, 587 the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host sys- 588 tem has an older or incompatible ``make'' program. 589 590 When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are 591 set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list 592 of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are 593 noted where applicable. 594 595 The following operations are supported by build.sh: 596 597 build Build the system as per ``make build''. Before the main 598 part of the build commences, this command runs the obj 599 operation (unless the -o option is given), ``make 600 cleandir'' (unless the -u option is given), and the tools 601 operation. 602 603 distribution Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''. 604 This command first runs the build operation. 605 606 release Build a full release as per ``make release''. This command 607 first runs the distribution operation. 608 609 makewrapper Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is auto- 610 matically performed for any of the other operations. 611 612 obj Perform ``make obj''. 613 614 tools Build and install the host tools from src/tools. This com- 615 mand will first run ``make obj'' and ``make cleandir'' in 616 the tools subdirectory unless the -o or -u options (respec- 617 tively) are given. 618 619 install=idir Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make 620 installworld''. Note that files that are part of the 621 ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed. 622 623 kernel=kconf Build a new kernel. The kconf argument is the name of a 624 configuration file suitable for use by config(1). If kconf 625 does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file 626 is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which 627 is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf. The new kernel will be 628 built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically 629 sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory. 630 631 This command does not imply the tools command; run the 632 tools command first unless it is certain that the tools 633 already exist and are up to date. 634 635 This command will run ``make cleandir'' on the kernel in 636 question first unless the -u option is given. 637 638 releasekernel=kconf 639 Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel previously built by 640 kernel=kconf into 641 RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/kernel, usually as 642 netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is deter- 643 mined from the ``config'' directives in kconf. 644 645 sets Perform ``make sets''. 646 647 sourcesets Perform ``make sourcesets''. 648 649 syspkgs Perform ``make syspkgs''. 650 651 iso-image Perform ``make iso-image''. 652 653 iso-image-source 654 Perform ``make iso-image-source''. 655 656 The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh 657 operations described above: 658 659 -a arch Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch. 660 661 -B buildid 662 Set the value of BUILDID to buildid. This will also append the 663 build identifier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so 664 that the resulting name is of the form 665 ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''. 666 667 -C cdextras 668 Set the value of CDEXTRA to cdextras which is a space-separated 669 list of files or directories which will be added in order to 670 the CD-ROM image when used in conjunction with ``iso-image'' or 671 ``iso-image-source''. Files will be added to the root of the 672 CD-ROM image, whereas directories will be copied recursively. 673 If relative paths are specified, they will be converted to 674 absolute paths before being used. 675 676 -D dest Set the value of DESTDIR to dest. If a relative path is speci- 677 fied, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 678 used. 679 680 -E Set `expert' mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and 681 allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for 682 builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build- 683 ing as a non-root user. 684 685 Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing 686 when you use this option. 687 688 -h Print a help message. 689 690 -j njob Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel; passed through to 691 make(1). Makefiles should use .WAIT or have explicit dependan- 692 cies as necessary to enforce build ordering. If you see build 693 failures with -j, please save complete build logs so the fail- 694 ures can be analyzed. 695 696 -M obj Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj. If a relative path is specified, 697 it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. 698 Unsets MAKEOBJDIR. 699 700 -m mach Set the value of MACHINE to mach, except in some special cases 701 listed below. This will also override any value of 702 MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value deduced 703 from mach, unless -a is specified. All cross builds require 704 -m, but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE 705 will be detected and used automatically. 706 707 Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH. The 708 following special cases for the mach argument are defined to 709 set the listed values of MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH: 710 711 mach MACHINE MACHINE_ARCH 712 evbarm evbarm (not set) 713 evbarm-eb evbarm armeb 714 evbarm-el evbarm arm 715 evbmips evbmips (not set) 716 evbmips-eb evbmips mipseb 717 evbmips-el evbmips mipsel 718 evbsh3 evbsh3 (not set) 719 evbsh3-eb evbsh3 sh3eb 720 evbsh3-el evbsh3 sh3el 721 sbmips sbmips (not set) 722 sbmips-eb sbmips mipseb 723 sbmips-el sbmips mipsel 724 725 -N noiselevel 726 Set the ``noisyness'' level of the build, by setting 727 MAKEVERBOSE to noiselevel. 728 729 -n Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do 730 not make any changes. This is similar in concept to ``make 731 -n''. 732 733 -O obj Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will 734 place the built object files under obj. If a relative path is 735 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 736 being used. For instance, a setting of /usr/obj will place 737 build-time files under /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, 738 /usr/obj/usr.bin, and so forth. Unsets MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. 739 740 -o Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''. Otherwise, it will be 741 automatically set to ``yes''. This default is opposite to the 742 behaviour when not using build.sh. 743 744 -R rel Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel. If a relative path is 745 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 746 being used. 747 748 -r Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building 749 (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting 750 DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory. 751 752 -T tools Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools. If a relative path is spec- 753 ified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being 754 used. If set, the bootstrap ``make'' will only be rebuilt if 755 the source files for make(1) have changed. 756 757 -U Set MKUNPRIVED=yes. 758 759 -u Set MKUPDATE=yes. 760 761 -V var=[value] 762 Set the environment variable var to an optional value. This is 763 propagated to the nbmake wrapper. 764 765 -w wrapper 766 Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom loca- 767 tion, specified by wrapper. This allows, for instance, to 768 place the wrapper in PATH automatically. Note that wrapper is 769 the full name of the file, not just a directory name. If a 770 relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute 771 path before being used. 772 773 -X x11src 774 Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src. If a relative path is 775 specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before 776 being used. 777 778 -x Set MKX11=yes. 779 780 -Z var Unset ("zap") the environment variable var. This is propagated 781 to the nbmake wrapper. 782 783 The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script 784 If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script 785 will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building 786 subtrees on a cross-compile host. 787 788 nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call 789 the up-to-date version of ``nbmake'' installed into TOOLDIR/bin with sev- 790 eral key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and TOOLDIR. 791 nbmake-MACHINE will also set variables specified with -V, and unset vari- 792 ables specified with -Z. 793 794 This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called 795 with an absolute path. 796 797EXAMPLES 798 1. % ./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC 799 800 Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and 801 build a new GENERIC kernel. 802 803 2. % ./build.sh -U distribution 804 805 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR 806 directory that build.sh selects (and will display). 807 808 3. # ./build.sh -U install=/ 809 810 As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2. 811 Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the permis- 812 sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files 813 as they're copied to /. 814 815 4. % ./build.sh -U -u release 816 817 Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and 818 RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display). 819 MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that 820 if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion 821 of the release build. 822 823OBSOLETE VARIABLES 824 NBUILDJOBS Use the make(1) option -j instead. 825 826 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN 827 The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use 828 TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes. 829 830SEE ALSO 831 make(1), hier(7), release(7), etcupdate(8), postinstall(8), sysinst(8), 832 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools 833 834HISTORY 835 The build.sh based build scheme was introduced for NetBSD 1.6 as 836 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, and re-worked to TOOLCHAIN_MISSING after that. 837 838BUGS 839 A few platforms are not yet using this build system. 840 841NetBSD March 18, 2008 NetBSD 842
