file in order to get proper definitions for a build. (Temporary; this
Makefile will be moved to a new name and replaced with a bootstrap Makefile
in the near future.)
i386 platform builds must now set TOOLDIR in mk.conf or the
environment in order to build the system. This is a pathname
where host build tools will be installed, and must NOT be
the same as src/tools.
(Optionally, USETOOLS=no can be set in the environment if you
wish to avoid using the separate host toolchain for building a
subtree. Otherwise, this will default to "yes" automatically.)
However, building with USETOOLS=no set and no defined TOOLDIR ends up
with breakage, as the do-make-tools target is run regardless of whether
or not USETOOLS is set.
Hence, a wrapper around the body of the do-make-tools target:
.if ${USETOOLS} != "no"
...
.endif
...which makes the build work when USETOOLS=no, with no TOOLDIR set. This
would seem to more accurately match the description put forth in UPDATING.
In the new build world order, DESTDIR is set to "" (in Makefile.tools)
if not already set, to ensure correct include/library handling. This
caused the top-level to not set DESTDIR=/, which confused distrib-dirs,
since it doesn't include Makefile.tools, and thus didn't see the same
DESTDIR that the top-level did.
set, will descend into "tools" to build a toolchain, and use that toolchain
explicitly for the build (via tools/Makefile.tools).
While here, GC all the "egcs-detection" logic; it's not needed anymore, since
nothing is on gcc 2.7 any longer.

# Sub targets of `make build,' in order:
# buildstartmsg: displays the start time of the build.
# beforeinstall: creates the distribution directories.
# do-force-domestic: check's that FORCE_DOMESTIC isn't set (deprecated.)
# do-share-mk: installs /usr/share/mk files.
# do-cleandir: clean's the tree.
# do-make-obj: create's object directories if required.
# do-check-egcs: check's that we have a modern enough compiler (deprecated.)
# do-make-includes: install include files.
# do-lib-csu: build & install startup object files.
# do-lib: build & install system libraries.
# do-gnu-lib: build & install gnu system libraries.
# do-dependall: builds & install the entire system.

# do-whatisdb: build & install the `whatis.db' man database.
# buildendmsg: displays the end time of the build.
this is something i've wanted to do for years....
adding support for Heimdal/KTH Kerberos where easy to do so. Eliminate
bsd.crypto.mk.
There is still a bunch more work to do, but crypto is now more-or-less
fully merged into the base NetBSD distribution.
overrideable in mk.conf
Document in bsd.README; this is distinct from "MKOBJ", which controls
whether "make obj" does anything.
In the top-level makefile, if MKOBJDIRS != "no", do a "make obj" at an
appropriate point during a "make build".
and 'install' targets to descend into the domestic subtree. This is
generally a bad idea unless one knows precisely what they're doing,
but we'll provide the rope anyway (with the appropriate warnings).
Document both EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM and FORCE_DOMESTIC at the top of the file.
announced in a reasonable forum. Further, it adds significant overhead to
the build process, and doesn't work correctly when a non-root DESTDIR
build is attempted (unless texinfo is already available, which of course
makes this change unnecessary).
