# $NetBSD: bsd.README,v 1.181 2006/06/24 05:14:01 mrg Exp $ # @(#)bsd.README 8.2 (Berkeley) 4/2/94 This is the README file for the new make "include" files for the BSD source tree. The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are, by convention, named with the suffix ".mk". Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk files for anything tricky. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING: The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like you'd expect. The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include ". One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile. The reason for this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the values of variables set in the Makefile. To make this work, remember that the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has: a: echo a a: echo a number two the command "make a" will echo "a". To make things confusing, the SECOND variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has: a= foo a= bar b: echo ${a} the command "make b" will echo "bar". This is for compatibility with the way the V7 make behaved. It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier to split up the programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from making the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switched to a new version of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff. (Imake doesn't count.) The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies for the source files. This file is read automatically by make after reading the Makefile. The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change the tree where the file gets installed. The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than the regular libraries. A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled object, and ".so" denotes a shared (position-independent) object. There are various make variables used during the build. Many variables support a (case sensitive) value of "no" or "yes", and are tested with ${VAR} == "no" and ${VAR} != "no" . The basic rule for the variable naming scheme is as follows: MKxxx Can be set to "no" to disable functionality, or "yes" to enable it. Usually defaults to "yes", although some variables default to "no". Due to make(1) implementation issues, if a temporary command-line override of a mk.conf or setting is required whilst still honouring a particular Makefile's setting of MKxxx, use env MKxxx=value make instead of make MKxxx=value NOxxx If defined, disables a feature. Not intended for users. This is to allow Makefiles to disable functionality that they don't support (such as missing man pages). NOxxx variables must be defined before is included. The following variables that control how things are made/installed that are not set by default. These should not be set by Makefiles; they're for the user to define in MAKECONF (see , below) or on the make(1) command line: BUILD If defined, 'make install' checks that the targets in the source directories are up-to-date and remakes them if they are out of date, instead of blindly trying to install out of date or non-existent targets.

COPTS.lib OBJCOPTS.lib LDADD.lib CPPFLAGS.lib CXXFLAGS.lib COPTS. OBJCCOPTS. LDADD. CPPFLAGS. CXXFLAGS. These provide a way to specify additions to the associated variables in a way that applies only to a particular library or program. corresponds to the LIB variable set in the library's makefile. corresponds to either PROG or PROG_CXX (if set). For example, if COPTS.libcrypto is set to "-g", "-g" will be added to COPTS only when compiling the crypto library. =-=-=-=-= sys.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD environment or otherwise. You probably don't want to touch this file. =-=-=-=-= bsd.own.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file contains source tree configuration parameters, such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and a few global "feature configuration" parameters. It has no targets. To get system-specific configuration parameters, will try to include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable. If MAKECONF is not set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf is included. These files may define any of the variables described below. sets the following variables, if they are not already defined (defaults are in brackets): NETBSDSRCDIR Top of the NetBSD source tree. If _SRC_TOP_ != "", that will be used as the default, otherwise BSDSRCDIR will be used as the default. Various makefiles within the NetBSD source tree will use this to reference the top level of the source tree. _SRC_TOP_ Top of the system source tree, as determined by based on the presence of tools/ and build.sh. This variable is "internal" to , although its value is only determined once and then propagated to all sub-makes. BSDSRCDIR The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj' will work correctly. [/usr/src] BSDOBJDIR The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj' will work correctly.

[${X11ROOTDIR}/lib] STRIPFLAG The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary to be stripped. This is to be used when building your own install script so that the entire system can be made stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. [] COPY The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary to be copied rather than moved. This is to be used when building our own install script so that the entire system can either be installed with copies, or with moves using a single knob. [-c] MAKEDIRTARGET dir target [params] Runs "cd $${dir} && ${MAKE} [params] $${target}", displaying a "pretty" message whilst doing so. RELEASEMACHINEDIR Subdirectory used below RELEASEDIR when building a release. [${MACHINE}] RELEASEMACHINE Subdirectory or path component used for the following paths: distrib/${RELEASEMACHINE} distrib/notes/${RELEASEMACHINE} etc/etc.${RELEASEMACHINE} Used when building a release. [${MACHINE}] Additionally, the following variables may be set by or in a make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by ): USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by ${TOOLDIR} should be used as part of a build in progress. Supported values: yes Use the tools from TOOLDIR. Must be set to this if cross-compiling. no Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build native compilation tool components that are version-specific for that tool. never Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building native tool components. This is similar to the traditional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in order to build the tree successfully. This may cause build or runtime problems when building the whole NetBSD source tree. Default: "yes" if building all or part of a whole NetBSD source tree (detected automatically); "no" otherwise (to preserve traditional semantics of the make(1) include files). OBJECT_FMT Object file format. [set to "ELF" on architectures that use ELF -- currently all architectures but ns32k, set to "a.out" on ns32k]. TOOLCHAIN_MISSING If not "no", this indicates that the platform being built does not have a working in-tree toolchain. If the ${MACHINE_ARCH} in question falls into this category, TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is conditionally assigned the value "yes". Otherwise, the variable is unconditionally assigned the value "no". If not "no", ${MKBFD}, ${MKGCC}, and ${MKGDB} are unconditionally assigned the value "no". EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN This variable is not directly set by , but including is the canonical way to gain access to this variable. The variable should be defined either in the user's environment or in the user's mk.conf file. If defined, this variable indicates the root of an external toolchain which will be used to build the tree. For example, if a platform is a ${TOOLCHAIN_MISSING} platform, EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN can be used to re-enable the cross-compile framework. If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN is defined, ${MKGCC} is unconditionally assigned the value "no", since the external version of the compiler may not be able to build the library components of the in-tree compiler. NOTE: This variable is not yet used in as many places as it should be. Expect the exact semantics of this variable to change in the short term as parts of the cross-compile framework continue to be cleaned up. is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree. =-=-=-=-= bsd.dep.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file contains the default targets for building .depend files. It creates .d files from entries in SRCS and DPSRCS that are C, C++, or Objective C source files, and builds .depend from the .d files. All other files in SRCS and all of DPSRCS will be used as dependencies for the .d files. In order for this to function correctly, it should be .included after all other .mk files and directives that may modify SRCS or DPSRCS. It uses the following variables: SRCS List of source files to build the program. DPSRCS List of source files which are needed for generating dependencies, but are not needed in ${SRCS}. =-=-=-=-= bsd.files.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file handles the FILES variables and is included from and , and uses the following variables: FILES The list of files to install. CONFIGFILES Similar semantics to FILES, except that the files are installed by the `configinstall' target, not the `install' target. The FILES* variables documented below also apply. FILESOWN File owner. [${BINOWN}] FILESGRP File group. [${BINGRP}] FILESMODE File mode. [${BINMODE}] FILESDIR The location to install the files. FILESNAME Optional name to install each file as. FILESOWN_ File owner of the specific file . FILESGRP_ File group of the specific file . FILESMODE_ File mode of the specific file . FILESDIR_ The location to install the specific file > FILESNAME_ Optional name to install as. BUILDSYMLINKS List of two word items: lnsrc lntgt For each lnsrc item, create a symlink named lntgt. The lntgt symlinks are removed by the cleandir target. UUDECODE_FILES List of files which are stored as .uue in the source tree. Each one will be decoded with ${TOOL_UUDECODE}. The source files have a `.uue' suffix, the generated files do not. UUDECODE_FILES_RENAME_fn Rename the output from the decode to the provided name. *NOTE: These files are simply decoded, with no install or other rule applying implicitly except being added to the clean target. =-=-=-=-= bsd.gcc.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file computes various parameters related to GCC support libraries. It defines no targets. MUST be included before . The primary users of are and , each of which need to know where to find certain GCC support libraries. The behavior of is influenced by the EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN variable, which is generally set by the user. If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN it set, then the compiler is asked where to find the support libraries, otherwise the support libraries are found in ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib. sets the following variables: _GCC_CRTBEGIN The full path name to crtbegin.o. _GCC_CRTBEGINS The full path name to crtbeginS.o. _GCC_CRTEND The full path name to crtend.o. _GCC_CRTENDS The full path name to crtendS.o. _GCC_LIBGCCDIR The directory where libgcc.a is located. =-=-=-=-= bsd.inc.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file defines the includes target and uses the variables: INCS The list of include files. INCSDIR The location to install the include files. INCSNAME Target name of the include file, if only one; same as FILESNAME, but for include files. INCSYMLINKS Similar to SYMLINKS in , except that these are installed in the 'includes' target and not the (much later) 'install' target. INCSNAME_ The name file should be installed as, if not , same as FILESNAME_, but for include files. =-=-=-=-= bsd.info.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file is used to generate and install GNU Info documentation from respective Texinfo source files. It defines three implicit targets (.txi.info, .texi.info, and .texinfo.info), and uses the following variables: TEXINFO List of Texinfo source files. Info documentation will consist of single files with the extension replaced by .info. INFOFLAGS Flags to pass to makeinfo. [] =-=-=-=-= bsd.kernobj.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file defines variables related to the location of kernel sources and object directories. KERNSRCDIR Is the location of the top of the kernel src. [${_SRC_TOP_}/sys] KERNARCHDIR Is the location of the machine dependent kernel sources. [arch/${MACHINE}] KERNCONFDIR Is where the configuration files for kernels are found. [${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/conf] KERNOBJDIR Is the kernel build directory. The kernel GENERIC for instance will be compiled in ${KERNOBJDIR}/GENERIC. The default value is ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile if it exists or the target 'obj' is being made. Otherwise the default is ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile. It is important that Makefiles (such as those under src/distrib) that wish to find compiled kernels use and ${KERNOBJDIR} rather than make assumptions about the location of the compiled kernel. =-=-=-=-= bsd.kinc.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file defines the many targets (includes, subdirectories, etc.), and is used by kernel makefiles to handle include file installation. It is intended to be included alone, by kernel Makefiles. It uses similar variables to . Please see for more details, and keep the documentation in that file up to date. =-=-=-=-= bsd.lib.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file has support for building libraries. It has the same eight targets as : all, clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, lint, and tags. Additionally, it has a checkver target which checks for installed shared object libraries whose version is greater that the version of the source. It has a limited number of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree. includes to get shared library parameters. It sets/uses the following variables: LIB The name of the library to build. LIBDIR Target directory for libraries. SHLIBINSTALLDIR Target directory for shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR} is not "no". USE_SHLIBDIR If not "no", use ${SHLIBINSTALLDIR} instead of ${LIBDIR} as the path to install shared libraries to. USE_SHLIBDIR must be defined before is included. Default: no MKPRIVATELIB If not "no", act as "MKPROFILE=no MKPIC=no MKLINT=no", and don't install the (.a) library. This is useful for "build only" helper libraries. Default: no LINTLIBDIR Target directory for lint libraries. LIBGRP Library group. LIBOWN Library owner. LIBMODE Library mode. LDADD Additional loader objects. MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix). NOCHECKVER_ NOCHECKVER If set, disables checking for installed shared object libraries with versions greater than the source. A particular library name, without the "lib" prefix, may be appended to the variable name to disable the check for only that library. SRCS List of source files to build the library. Suffix types .s, .c, and .f are supported. Note, .s files are preferred to .c files of the same name. (This is not the default for versions of make.) LIBDPLIBS A list of the tuples: libname path-to-srcdir-of-libname For each tuple; * LIBDO.libname contains the .OBJDIR of the library `libname', and if it is not set it is determined from the srcdir and added to MAKEOVERRIDES (the latter is to allow for build time optimization). * LDADD gets -L${LIBDO.libname} -llibname added. * DPADD gets ${LIBDO.libname}/liblibname.so or ${LIBDO.libname}/liblibname.a added. This variable may be used for individual libraries, as well as in parent directories to cache common libraries as a build-time optimization. The include file includes the file named "../Makefile.inc" if it exists, as well as the include file . It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are built by default. Libraries are ranlib'd when made. =-=-=-=-= bsd.links.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file handles the LINKS and SYMLINKS variables and is included from from and . LINKS The list of hard links, consisting of pairs of paths: source-file target-file ${DESTDIR} is prepended to both paths before linking. For example, to link /bin/test and /bin/[, use: LINKS=/bin/test /bin/[ CONFIGLINKS Similar semantics to LINKS, except that the links are installed by the `configinstall' target, not the `install' target. SYMLINKS The list of symbolic links, consisting of pairs of paths: source-file target-file ${DESTDIR} is only prepended to target-file before linking. For example, to symlink /usr/bin/tar to /bin/tar resulting in ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/tar -> /bin/tar: SYMLINKS=/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar CONFIGSYMLINKS Similar semantics to SYMLINKS, except that the symbolic links are installed by the `configinstall' target, not the `install' target. =-=-=-=-= bsd.man.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file handles installing manual pages and their links. It has a two targets: maninstall: Install the manual page sources and their links. catinstall: Install the preformatted manual pages and their links. It sets/uses the following variables: MANDIR Base path for manual installation. MANGRP Manual group. MANOWN Manual owner. MANMODE Manual mode. MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax" or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages. MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix). MLINKS List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix). The linked-to file must come first, the linked file second, and there may be multiple pairs. The files are soft-linked. The include file includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if it exists. =-=-=-=-= bsd.obj.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file defines targets related to the creation and use of separated object and source directories. If an environment variable named MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set, make(1) uses ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} as the name of the object directory if it exists. Otherwise make(1) looks for the existence of a subdirectory (or a symlink to a directory) of the source directory into which built targets should be placed. If an environment variable named MAKEOBJDIR is set, make(1) uses its value as the name of the object directory; failing that, make first looks for a subdirectory named "obj.${MACHINE}", and if that doesn't exist, it looks for "obj". Object directories are not created automatically by make(1) if they don't exist; you need to run a separate "make obj". (This will happen during a top-level build if "MKOBJDIRS" is set to a value other than "no"). When the source directory is a subdirectory of ${BSDSRCDIR} -- and this is determined by a simple string prefix comparison -- object directories are created in a separate object directory tree, and a symlink to the object directory in that tree is created in the source directory; otherwise, "make obj" assumes that you're not in the main source tree and that it's not safe to use a separate object tree. Several variables used by control exactly what directories and links get created during a "make obj": MAKEOBJDIR If set, this is the component name of the object directory. OBJMACHINE If this is set but MAKEOBJDIR is not set, creates object directories or links named "obj.${MACHINE}"; otherwise, just creates ones named "obj". USR_OBJMACHINE If set, and the current directory is a subdirectory of ${BSDSRCDIR}, create object directory in the corresponding subdirectory of ${BSDOBJDIR}.${MACHINE}; otherwise, create it in the corresponding subdirectory of ${BSDOBJDIR} BUILDID If set, the contents of this variable are appended to the object directory name. If OBJMACHINE is also set, ".${BUILDID}" is added after ".${MACHINE}". =-=-=-=-= bsd.prog.mk =-=-=-=-= The include file handles building programs from one or more source files, along with their manual pages. It has a limited number of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree. includes to get shared library parameters. It has eight targets: all: build the program and its manual page. This also creates a GDB initialization file (.gdbinit) in the objdir. The .gdbinit file sets the shared library prefix to ${DESTDIR} to facilitate cross-debugging. clean: remove the program, any object files and the files a.out, Errs, errs, mklog, and ${PROG}.core. cleandir: remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages. `distclean' is a synonym for `cleandir'. depend: make the dependencies for the source files, and store them in the file .depend. includes: install any header files. install: install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile does not itself define the target install, the targets beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause actions immediately before and after the install target is executed. lint: run lint on the source files tags: create a tags file for the source files. It sets/uses the following variables: BINGRP Binary group. BINOWN Binary owner. BINMODE Binary mode. CLEANFILES Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets. COPTS Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects. COPTS. Additional flags to the compiler when creating the C objects for . For .[ly], ".c" must be used. CPUFLAGS Additional flags to the compiler/assembler to select CPU instruction set options, CPU tuning options, etc. CPUFLAGS. Additional flags to the compiler/assembler for . For .[ly], ".c" must be used. CPPFLAGS Additional flags to the C pre-processor. CPPFLAGS. Additional flags to the C pre-processor for . For .[ly], ".c" must be used. GDBINIT List of GDB initialization files to add to "source" directives in the .gdbinit file that is created in the objdir. LDADD Additional loader objects. Usually used for libraries. For example, to load with the compatibility and utility libraries, use: LDADD+=-lutil -lcompat LDFLAGS Additional linker flags (passed to ${CC} during link). LINKS See OBJCOPTS Additional flags to the compiler when creating ObjC objects. OBJCOPTS. Additional flags to the compiler when creating the ObjC objects for . For .[ly], ".c" must be used. SYMLINKS See MAN Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9). If no MAN variable is defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed. PROG The name of the program to build. If not supplied, nothing is built. PROG_CXX If defined, the name of the program to build. Also causes to link the program with the C++ compiler rather than the C compiler. PROG_CXX overrides the value of PROG if PROG is also set. PROGNAME The name that the above program will be installed as, if different from ${PROG}. SRCS List of source files to build the program. If SRCS is not defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c. DPSRCS List of source files which are needed for generating dependencies, but are not needed in ${SRCS}. DPADD Additional dependencies for the program. Usually used for libraries. For example, to depend on the compatibility and utility libraries use: DPADD+=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL} The following libraries are predefined for DPADD: LIBCRT0?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/crt0.o LIBASN1?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libasn1.a LIBBLUETOOTH?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libbluetooth.a LIBBSDMALLOC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libbsdmalloc.a LIBBZ2?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libbz2.a LIBC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc.a LIBC_PIC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libc_pic.a LIBCDK?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcdk.a LIBCOM_ERR?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcom_err.a LIBCOMPAT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcompat.a LIBCRYPT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypt.a LIBCRYPTO?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypto.a LIBCRYPTO_IDEA?=${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypto_idea.a LIBCRYPTO_MDC2?=${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypto_mdc2.a LIBCRYPTO_RC5?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypto_rc5.a LIBCURSES?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcurses.a LIBDBM?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libdbm.a LIBDES?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libdes.a LIBEDIT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libedit.a LIBEVENT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libevent.a LIBFORM?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libform.a LIBG2C?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libg2c.a LIBGCC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgcc.a LIBGNUMALLOC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgnumalloc.a LIBGSSAPI?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libgssapi.a LIBHDB?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libhdb.a LIBINTL?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libintl.a LIBIPSEC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libipsec.a LIBKADM5CLNT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt.a LIBKADM5SRV?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkadm5srv.a LIBKAFS?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkafs.a LIBKRB5?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkrb5.a LIBKVM?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libkvm.a LIBL?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libl.a LIBM?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libm.a LIBMENU?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libmenu.a LIBOBJC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libobjc.a LIBOSSAUDIO?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libossaudio.a LIBPAM?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpam.a LIBPCAP?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpcap.a LIBPCI?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpci.a LIBPMC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpmc.a LIBPOSIX?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libposix.a LIBPTHREAD?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpthread.a LIBPTHREAD_DBG?=${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libpthread_dbg.a LIBRADIUS?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libradius.a LIBRESOLV?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libresolv.a LIBRMT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/librmt.a LIBROKEN?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libroken.a LIBRPCSVC?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/librpcsvc.a LIBRT?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/librt.a LIBSDP?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libsdp.a LIBSKEY?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libskey.a LIBSL?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libsl.a LIBSS?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libss.a LIBSSH?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libssh.a LIBSSL?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libssl.a LIBSTDCXX?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libstdc++.a LIBTERMCAP?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libtermcap.a LIBUSBHID?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libusbhid.a LIBUTIL?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libutil.a LIBWRAP?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libwrap.a LIBY?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/liby.a LIBZ?= ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libz.a SHAREDSTRINGS If defined, a new .c.o rule is used that results in shared strings, using xstr(1). Note that this will not work with parallel makes. STRIPFLAG The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary to be stripped. SUBDIR A list of subdirectories that should be built as well. Each of the targets will execute the same target in the subdirectories. SCRIPTS A list of interpreter scripts [file.{sh,csh,pl,awk,...}]. These are installed exactly like programs. SCRIPTSDIR The location to install the scripts. Each script can be installed to a separate path by setting SCRIPTSDIR_
