The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling .Em natively (on the same .Nx architecture) or .Em cross compiling (on another architecture or OS). .Pp This source tree contains a special subtree, .Dq tools , which uses the host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture. The host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the toolchain .Nm ( make is not required); all other tools are created as part of the .Nx build process. (See the environment variables section below if you need to override or manually select your compilers.) . .Sh FILES . .Ss Source tree layout . .Bl -tag -width "BUILDING.mdoc" .It Pa doc/BUILDING.mdoc This document (in -mdoc troff format; the original copy). .It Pa BUILDING This document (in plaintext). .It Pa tools/compat/README Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on non-NetBSD platforms. .It Pa Makefile The main Makefile for .Nx ; should only be run for native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of .Nx .Xr make 1 . Intended for expert use with knowlege of its shortcomings, it has been superseded by the .Nm build.sh shell script as the recommended means for building .Nx . .It Pa UPDATING Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of .Nx . It is important to read this file before every build of an updated source tree. .It Pa build.sh Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host build tools and the .Nx system from scratch. Can be used for both native and cross builds, and should be used instead of .Xr make 1 as it performs additional checks to prevent common issues going undetected, such as building with an outdated version of .Xr make 1 . .It Pa crypto/dist/ , dist/ , gnu/dist/ Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without mangling the existing build structure. Other source trees in .Sy bin through .Sy usr.sbin use the .Nx .Xr make 1 .Dq reachover Makefile semantics when building these programs for a native host. .It Pa external , sys/external Sources and build infrastructure for components imported (mostly) unchanged from upstream maintainers, sorted by applicable license. This is (slowly) replacing the .Pa crypto/dist , .Pa dist , and .Pa gnu/dist directories. .It Pa distrib/ , etc/ Sources for items used when making a full release snapshot, such as files installed in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /etc on the destination system, boot media, and release notes. .It Pa tests/ , regress/ Regression test harness. Can be cross-compiled, but only run natively. .Pa tests/ uses the .Xr atf 7 test framework; .Pa regress/ contains older tests that have not yet been migrated to .Xr atf 7 . .It Pa sys/ .Nx kernel sources. .It Pa tools/ .Dq Reachover build structure for the host build tools. This has a special method of determining out-of-date status. .It Pa bin/ ... usr.sbin/ Sources to the .Nx userland (non-kernel) programs. If any of these directories are missing, they will be skipped during the build. .It Pa external/mit/xorg/ .Dq Reachover build structure for modular Xorg; the source is in .Sy X11SRCDIR . .It Pa extsrc/ .Dq Reachover build structure for externally added programs and libraries; the source is in .Sy EXTSRCSRCDIR . .El . .Ss Build tree layout . The .Nx build tree is described in .Xr hier 7 , and the release layout is described in .Xr release 7 . . .Sh CONFIGURATION . .Ss Environment variables . Several environment variables control the behaviour of .Nx builds. . .Bl -tag -width "MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX" . . .It Sy HOST_SH Path name to a shell available on the host system and suitable for use during the build. The .Nx build system requires a modern Bourne-like shell with POSIX-compliant features, and also requires support for the .Dq local keyword to declare local variables in shell functions (which is a widely-implemented but non-standardised feature). .Pp Depending on the host system, a suitable shell may be .Pa /bin/sh , .Pa /usr/xpg4/bin/sh , .Pa /bin/ksh (provided it is a variant of ksh that supports the .Dq local keyword, such as ksh88, but not ksh93), or .Pa /usr/local/bin/bash . .Pp Most parts of the build require .Sy HOST_SH to be an absolute path; however, .Nm build.sh allows it to be a simple command name, which will be converted to an absolute path by searching the .Sy PATH . . .It Sy HOST_CC Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain. . .It Sy HOST_CFLAGS Flags passed to the host C compiler. . .It Sy HOST_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain. . .It Sy HOST_CXXFLAGS Flags passed to the host C++ compiler. . .It Sy MACHINE Machine type, e.g., .Dq macppc . . .It Sy MACHINE_ARCH Machine architecture, e.g., .Dq powerpc . . .It Sy MAKE Path name to invoke .Xr make 1 as. . .It Sy MAKEFLAGS Flags to invoke .Xr make 1 with. Note that .Sy build.sh ignores the value of .Sy MAKEFLAGS passed in the environment, but allows .Sy MAKEFLAGS to be set via the .Fl V option. . .It Sy MAKEOBJDIR Directory to use as the .Sy .OBJDIR for the current directory. The value is subjected to variable expansion by .Xr make 1 . Typical usage is to set this variable to a value involving the use of .Sq ${.CURDIR:S...} or .Sq ${.CURDIR:C...} , to derive the value of .Sy .OBJDIR from the value of .Sy .CURDIR . Used only if .Sy MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined. .Sy MAKEOBJDIR can be provided only in the environment or via the .Fl O flag of .Nm build.sh ; it cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile, including .Pa mk.conf or .Sy ${MAKECONF} . . .It Sy MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Top level directory of the object directory tree. The value is subjected to variable expansion by .Xr make 1 . .Sy build.sh will create the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory if necessary, but if .Xr make 1 is used without .Sy build.sh , then rules in .Aq bsd.obj.mk will abort the build if the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory does not exist. If the value is defined and valid, then ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the .Sy .OBJDIR for the current directory. The current directory may be read only. .Sy MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be provided only in the environment or via the .Fl M flag of .Nm build.sh ; it cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile, including .Pa mk.conf or .Sy ${MAKECONF} . . .El . .Ss \*qmake\*q variables . .de YorN Can be set to .Dq yes or .Dq no . .. .de DFLT .Pp .Em Default : .. .de DFLTu .DFLT Unset. .. .de DFLTy .DFLT .Dq yes .. .de DFLTn .DFLT .Dq no .. Several variables control the behavior of .Nx builds. Unless otherwise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environment or the .Xr make 1 configuration file specified by .Sy MAKECONF . . .Bl -tag -width "MKCATPAGES" . .It Sy BUILDID Identifier for the build. If set, this should be a short string that is suitable for use as part of a file or directory name. The identifier will be appended to object directory names, and can be consulted in the .Xr make 1 configuration file in order to set additional build parameters, such as compiler flags. It will also be used as part of the kernel version string, which can be printed by .Dq Li uname \-v . .DFLTu . .It Sy BUILDINFO This may be a multi-line string containing information about the build. This will appear in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /etc/release , and it will be stored in the .Va buildinfo variable in any kernels that are built. When such kernels are booted, the .Xr sysctl 7 .Va kern.buildinfo variable will report this value. The string may contain backslash escape sequences, such as .Dq "\e\e" (representing a backslash character) and .Dq "\en" (representing a newline). .DFLTu . .It Sy BUILDSEED GCC uses random numbers when compiling C++ code. This variable seeds the gcc random number generator using the -frandom-seed flag with this value. By default, it is set to NetBSD-(majorversion). Using a fixed value causes C++ binaries to be the same when built from the same sources, resulting in identical (reproducible) builds. Additional information is available in the GCC documentation of -frandom-seed. . .It Sy CPUFLAGS Additional flags to the compiler/assembler to select CPU instruction set options, CPU tuning options, etc. .DFLTu . .It Sy DESTDIR Directory to contain the built .Nx system. If set, special options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent their default use of the host system's .Pa /usr/include , /usr/lib , and so forth. This pathname must be an absolute path, and should .Em not end with a slash .Pq / character. (For installation into the system's root directory, set .Sy DESTDIR to an empty string, not to .Dq / ) . The directory must reside on a file system which supports long file names and hard links. .DFLT Empty string if .Sy USETOOLS is .Dq yes ; unset otherwise. .Pp .Em Note : .Sy build.sh will provide a default of .Pa destdir. Ns Sy MACHINE (in the top-level .Sy .OBJDIR ) unless run in .Sq expert mode. . .It Sy EXTSRCSRCDIR Directory containing sources of externally added programs and libraries. If specified, must be an absolute path. .DFLT .Sy NETBSDSRCDIR Ns Pa /../extsrc , if that exists; otherwise .Pa /usr/extsrc . . .It Sy MAKECONF The name of the .Xr make 1 configuration file. .Em Only settable in the process environment. .DFLT .Dq /etc/mk.conf . .It Sy MAKEVERBOSE Level of verbosity of status messages. Supported values: .Bl -tag -width xxx .It 0 No descriptive messages or commands executed by .Xr make 1 are shown. .It 1 Brief messages are shown describing what is being done, but the actual commands executed by .Xr make 1 are not displayed. .It 2 Descriptive messages are shown as above (prefixed with a .Sq # ) , and ordinary commands performed by .Xr make 1 are displayed. .It 3 In addition to the above, all commands performed by .Xr make 1 are displayed, even if they would ordinarily have been hidden through use of the .Dq \&@ prefix in the relevant makefile. .It 4 In addition to the above, commands executed by .Xr make 1 are traced through use of the .Xr sh 1 .Dq Fl x flag. .El .DFLT 2 . .It Sy MKCATPAGES .YorN Indicates whether preformatted plaintext manual pages will be created during a build. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKCROSSGDB .YorN Create a cross-gdb as a host tool. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKDEBUG .YorN Indicates whether debug information should be generated for all userland binaries compiled. The result is collected as an additional .Sy debug.tgz and .Sy xdebug.tgz set and installed in .Pa /usr/libdata/debug . .DFLTn . .It Sy MKDEBUGLIB .YorN Indicates whether debug information (see .Sy MKDEBUG ) should also be generated for all libraries built. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKDOC .YorN Indicates whether system documentation destined for .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /usr/share/doc will be installed during a build. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKEXTSRC .YorN Indicates whether extsrc is built from .Sy EXTSRCSRCDIR . .DFLTn . .It Sy MKHTML .YorN Indicates whether preformatted HTML manual pages will be built and installed .DFLTy . .It Sy MKHOSTOBJ .YorN If set to .Dq yes , then for programs intended to be run on the compile host, the name, release, and architecture of the host operating system will be suffixed to the name of the object directory created by .Dq make obj . (This allows multiple host systems to compile NetBSD for a single target.) If set to .Dq no , then programs built to be run on the compile host will use the same object directory names as programs built to be run on the target. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKINFO .YorN Indicates whether GNU Info files will be created and installed during a build. GNU Info files are used for providing documentation by most of the compilation tools. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKKDEBUG .YorN Force generation of full-debug symbol versions of all kernels compiled. Alongside of the .Pa netbsd kernel file, an unstripped version .Pa netbsd.gdb is created. This is useful if a cross-gdb is built as well (see .Sy MKCROSSGDB ) . .DFLTn . .It Sy MKKMOD .YorN Indicates whether kernel modules are built and installed. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKLINT .YorN Indicates whether .Xr lint 1 will be run against portions of the .Nx source code during the build, and whether lint libraries will be installed into .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /usr/libdata/lint . .DFLTy . .It Sy MKMAN .YorN Indicates whether manual pages will be installed during a build. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKNLS .YorN Indicates whether Native Language System locale zone files will be compiled and installed during a build. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKOBJ .YorN Indicates whether object directories will be created when running .Dq make obj . If set to .Dq no , then all built files will be located inside the regular source tree. .DFLTy .Pp Note that setting .Sy MKOBJ to .Dq no is not recommended and may cause problems when updating the tree with .Xr cvs 1 . . .It Sy MKPIC .YorN Indicates whether shared objects and libraries will be created and installed during a build. If set to .Dq no , the entire built system will be statically linked. .DFLT Platform dependent. As of this writing, all platforms except .Sy m68000 default to .Dq yes . . .It Sy MKPICINSTALL .YorN Indicates whether the .Xr ar 1 format libraries .Sy ( lib*_pic.a ) , used to generate shared libraries, are installed during a build. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKPROFILE .YorN Indicates whether profiled libraries .Sy ( lib*_p.a ) will be built and installed during a build. .DFLT .Dq yes ; however, some platforms turn off .Sy MKPROFILE by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled code. . .It Sy MKREPRO .YorN Create reproducible builds. This enables different switches to make two builds from the same source tree result in the same build results. .DFLTn This may be set to .Dq yes by giving .Sy build.sh the .Fl P option. . .It Sy MKREPRO_TIMESTAMP Unix timestamp. When .Sy MKREPRO is set, the timestamp of all files in the sets will be set to this value. .DFLTu This may be set automatically to the latest source tree timestamp using .Xr cvslatest 1 by giving .Sy build.sh the .Fl P option. . .It Sy MKSHARE .YorN Indicates whether files destined to reside in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /usr/share will be built and installed during a build. If set to .Dq no , then all of .Sy MKCATPAGES , MKDOC , MKINFO , MKMAN , and .Sy MKNLS will be set to .Dq no unconditionally. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKSTRIPIDENT .YorN Indicates whether RCS IDs, for use with .Xr ident 1 , should be stripped from program binaries and shared libraries. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKSTRIPSYM .YorN Indicates whether all local symbols should be stripped from shared libraries. If .Dq yes , strip all local symbols from shared libraries; the affect is equivalent to the .Fl x option of .Xr ld 1 . If .Dq no , strip only temporary local symbols; the affect is equivalent to the .Fl X option of .Xr ld 1 . Keeping non-temporary local symbols such as static function names is useful on using DTrace for userland libraries and getting a backtrace from a rump kernel loading shared libraries. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKUNPRIVED .YorN Indicates whether an unprivileged install will occur. The user, group, permissions, and file flags, will not be set on the installed items; instead the information will be appended to a file called .Pa METALOG in .Sy DESTDIR . The contents of .Pa METALOG are used during the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure that the appropriate file ownership is stored. .DFLTn . .It Sy MKUPDATE .YorN Indicates whether all install operations intended to write to .Sy DESTDIR will compare file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase if the destination files are up-to-date. This also has implications on full builds (see next subsection). .DFLTn . .It Sy MKX11 .YorN Indicates whether X11 is built from .Sy X11SRCDIR . .DFLTn . .It Sy TOOLDIR Directory to hold the host tools, once built. If specified, must be an absolute path. This directory should be unique to a given host system and .Nx source tree. (However, multiple targets may share the same .Sy TOOLDIR ; the target-dependent files have unique names.) If unset, a default based on the .Xr uname 1 information of the host platform will be created in the .Sy .OBJDIR of .Pa src . .DFLTu . .It Sy USETOOLS Indicates whether the tools specified by .Sy TOOLDIR should be used as part of a build in progress. Must be set to .Dq yes if cross-compiling. .Bl -tag -width "never" .It Sy yes Use the tools from .Sy TOOLDIR . .It Sy no Do not use the tools from .Sy TOOLDIR , but refuse to build native compilation tool components that are version-specific for that tool. .It Sy never Do not use the tools from .Sy TOOLDIR , even when building native tool components. This is similar to the traditional .Nx build method, but does .Em 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 .Nx source tree. .El .DFLT .Dq yes , unless .Sy TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is set to .Dq yes . .Pp .Sy USETOOLS is also set to .Dq no when using .Aq bsd.*.mk outside the .Nx source tree. . .It Sy X11SRCDIR Directory containing the modular Xorg source. If specified, must be an absolute path. The main modular Xorg source is found in .Sy X11SRCDIR Ns Pa /external/mit . .DFLT .Sy NETBSDSRCDIR Ns Pa /../xsrc , if that exists; otherwise .Pa /usr/xsrc . . .El . .Ss \*qmake\*q variables for full builds These variables only affect the top level .Dq Makefile and do not affect manually building subtrees of the .Nx source code. . .Bl -tag -width "INSTALLWORLDDIR" . .It Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR Location for the .Dq make installworld target to install to. If specified, must be an absolute path. .DFLT .Dq / . .It Sy MKOBJDIRS .YorN Indicates whether object directories will be created automatically (via a .Dq make obj pass) at the start of a build. .DFLTn .Pp If using .Sy build.sh , the default is .Dq yes . This may be set back to .Dq no by giving .Sy build.sh the .Fl o option. . .It Sy MKUPDATE .YorN If set, then in addition to the effects described for .Sy MKUPDATE=yes above, this implies the effects of .Sy NOCLEANDIR (i.e., .Dq make cleandir is avoided). .DFLTn .Pp If using .Sy build.sh , this may be set by giving the .Fl u option. . .It Sy NBUILDJOBS Now obsolete. Use the .Xr make 1 option .Fl j , instead. See below. .DFLTu . .It Sy NOCLEANDIR If set, avoids the .Dq make cleandir phase of a full build. This has the effect of allowing only changed files in a source tree to be recompiled. This can speed up builds when updating only a few files in the tree. .DFLTu .Pp See also .Sy MKUPDATE . . .It Sy NODISTRIBDIRS If set, avoids the .Dq make distrib-dirs phase of a full build. This skips running .Xr mtree 8 on .Sy DESTDIR , useful on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have not changed. .DFLTu . .It Sy NOINCLUDES If set, avoids the .Dq make includes phase of a full build. This has the effect of preventing .Xr make 1 from thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply because the system include files have changed. However, this option should not be used when updating the entire .Nx source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use .Sy MKUPDATE=yes instead in that case. .DFLTu . .It Sy RELEASEDIR If set, specifies the directory to which a .Xr release 7 layout will be written at the end of a .Dq make release . If specified, must be an absolute path. .DFLTu .Pp .Em Note : .Sy build.sh will provide a default of .Pa releasedir (in the top-level .Sy .OBJDIR ) unless run in .Sq expert mode. . .El . .Sh BUILDING . .Ss \*qmake\*q command line options This is not a summary of all the options available to .Xr make 1 ; only the options used most frequently with .Nx builds are listed here. . .Bl -tag -width "var=value" . .It Fl j Ar njob Run up to .Ar njob .Xr make 1 subjobs in parallel. Makefiles should use .WAIT or have explicit dependencies as necessary to enforce build ordering. . .It Fl m Ar dir Specify the default directory for searching for system Makefile segments, mainly the .Aq bsd.*.mk files. When building any full .Nx source tree, this should be set to the .Dq Pa share/mk directory in the source tree. This is set automatically when building from the top level, or when using .Sy build.sh . . .It Fl n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them. This will still cause recursion to take place. . .It Fl V Ar var Print .Xr make 1 Ns 's idea of the value of .Ar var . Does not build any targets. . .It Em var=value Set the variable .Em var to .Em value , overriding any setting specified by the process environment, the .Sy MAKECONF configuration file, or the system Makefile segments. . .El . .Ss \*qmake\*q targets . These default targets may be built by running .Xr make 1 in any subtree of the .Nx source code. It is recommended that none of these be used from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, .Dq make obj and .Dq make cleandir are useful in that context. . .Bl -tag -width "dependall" . .It Sy all Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation. . .It Sy clean Remove program and library object code files. . .It Sy cleandir Same as .Sy clean , but also remove preformatted documentation, dependency files generated by .Dq make depend , and any other files known to be created at build time. . .It Sy depend Create dependency files .Sy ( .depend ) containing more detailed information about the dependencies of source code on header files. Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a dependency changes. . .It Sy dependall Does a .Dq make depend immediately followed by a .Dq make all . This improves cache locality of the build since both passes read the source files in their entirety. . .It Sy distclean Synonym for .Sy cleandir . . .It Sy includes Build and install system header files. Typically needed before any system libraries or programs can be built. . .It Sy install Install programs, libraries, and documentation into .Sy DESTDIR . Few files will be installed to .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /dev , .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /etc , .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /root or .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /var in order to prevent user supplied configuration data from being overwritten. .It Sy lint Run .Xr lint 1 against the C source code, where appropriate, and generate system-installed lint libraries. . .It Sy obj Create object directories to be used for built files, instead of building directly in the source tree. . .It Sy tags Create .Xr ctags 1 searchable function lists usable by the .Xr ex 1 and .Xr vi 1 text editors. . .El . .Ss \*qmake\*q targets for the top level . Additional .Xr make 1 targets are usable specifically from the top source level to facilitate building the entire .Nx source tree. . .Bl -tag -width "distribution" . .It Sy build Build the entire .Nx system (except the kernel). This orders portions of the source tree such that prerequisites will be built in the proper order. . .It Sy distribution Do a .Dq make build , and then install a full distribution (which does not include a kernel) into .Sy DESTDIR , including files in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /dev , .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /etc , .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /root and .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /var . . .It Sy buildworld As per .Dq make distribution , except that it ensures that .Sy DESTDIR is not the root directory. . .It Sy installworld Install the distribution from .Sy DESTDIR to .Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR , which defaults to the root directory. Ensures that .Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR is not the root directory if cross compiling. .Pp The .Sy INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a space-separated list of distribution sets to be installed. By default, all sets except .Dq etc and .Dq xetc are installed, so most files in .Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR Ns Pa /etc will not be installed or modified. .Pp .Em Note : Before performing this operation with .Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR Ns = Ns Pa / , it is highly recommended that you upgrade your kernel and reboot. After performing this operation, it is recommended that you use .Xr etcupdate 8 to update files in .Sy INSTALLWORLDDIR Ns Pa /etc , and .Xr postinstall 8 to check for or fix inconsistencies. .It Sy sets Create distribution sets from .Sy DESTDIR into .Sy RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR Ns Pa /binary/sets . Should be run after .Dq make distribution , as .Dq make build alone does not install all of the required files. . .It Sy sourcesets Create source sets of the source tree into .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /source/sets . . .It Sy syspkgs Create syspkgs from .Sy DESTDIR into .Sy RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR Ns Pa /binary/syspkgs . Should be run after .Dq make distribution , as .Dq make build alone does not install all of the required files. . .It Sy release Do a .Dq make distribution , build kernels, distribution media, and install sets (this as per .Dq make sets ) , and then package the system into a standard release layout as described by .Xr release 7 . This requires that .Sy RELEASEDIR be set (see above). . .It Sy iso-image Create a .Nx installation CD-ROM image in the .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /images directory. The CD-ROM file system will have a layout as described in .Xr release 7 . .Pp For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and will automatically run the .Xr sysinst 8 menu-based installation program, which can be used to install or upgrade a .Nx system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged .Nx installation. .Pp Before .Dq make iso-image is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be populated by .Dq make release or equivalent. .Pp Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in the .Sy RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR Ns Pa /installation/cdrom directory by .Dq "make release" . These smaller images usually contain the same tools as the larger images in .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /images , but do not contain additional content such as the distribution sets. .Pp Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of creating CD-ROM images. This requires the .Xr mkisofs 1 utility, which is not part of .Nx , but which can be installed from .Pa pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools . . .It Sy iso-image-source Create a .Nx installation CD-ROM image in the .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /images directory. The CD-ROM file system will have a layout as described in .Xr release 7 . It will have top level directories for the machine type and source. .Pp For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and will automatically run the .Xr sysinst 8 menu-based installation program, which can be used to install or upgrade a .Nx system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged .Nx installation. .Pp Before .Dq make iso-image-source is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be populated by .Dq make sourcesets release or equivalent. .Pp Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in the .Sy RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR Ns Pa /installation/cdrom directory by .Dq make release . These smaller images usually contain the same tools as the larger images in .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /images , but do not contain additional content such as the distribution sets. .Pp Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of creating CD-ROM images. This requires the .Xr mkisofs 1 utility, which is not part of .Nx , but which can be installed from .Pa pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools . . .It Sy install-image Create a bootable .Nx installation disk image in the .Sy RELEASEDIR Ns Pa /images directory. The installation disk image is suitable for copying to bootable USB flash memory sticks, etc., for machines which are able to boot from such devices. The file system in the bootable disk image will have a layout as described in .Xr release 7 . .Pp The installation image is bootable, and will automatically run the .Xr sysinst 8 menu-based installation program, which can be used to install or upgrade a .Nx system. The image also contains tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged .Nx installation. .Pp Before .Dq make install-image is attempted, .Sy RELEASEDIR must be populated by .Dq make release or equivalent. The build must have been performed with .Sy MKUNPRIVED=yes because .Dq make install-image relies on information in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /METALOG . . .It Sy live-image Create .Nx live images in the .Sy RELEASEDIR/images directory. The live image contains all necessary files to boot .Nx up to multi-user mode, including all files which should be extracted during installation, .Nx disklabel, bootloaders, etc. .Pp The live image is suitable for use as a disk image in virtual machine environments such as QEMU, and also useful to boot .Nx from a USB flash memory stick on a real machine, without the need for installation. .Pp Before .Dq make live-image is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be populated by .Dq make release or equivalent. The build must have been performed with .Sy MKUNPRIVED=yes because .Dq make install-image relies on information in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /METALOG . . .It Sy regression-tests Can only be run after building the regression tests in the directory .Dq regress . Runs those compiled regression tests on the local host. Note that most tests are now managed instead using .Xr atf 7 ; this target should probably run those as well but currently does not. . .El . .Ss The \*qbuild.sh\*q script . This script file is a shell script designed to build the entire .Nx system on any host with a suitable modern shell and some common utilities. The required shell features are described under the .Sy HOST_SH variable. .Pp If a host system's default shell does support the required features, then we suggest that you explicitly specify a suitable shell using a command like .Bd -unfilled -offset indent .Li /path/to/suitable/shell build.sh Op Ar options .Ed .Pp The above command will usually enable .Nm build.sh to automatically set .Sy HOST_SH Ns Cm = Ns Pa /path/to/suitable/shell , but if that fails, then the following set of commands may be used instead: .Bd -unfilled -offset indent .Li HOST_SH= Ns Va /path/to/suitable/shell .Li export HOST_SH .Li ${HOST_SH} build.sh Op Ar options .Ed .Pp If .Sy build.sh detects that it is being executed under an unsuitable shell, it attempts to exec a suitable shell instead, or prints an error message. If .Sy HOST_SH is not set explicitly, then .Nm build.sh sets a default using heuristics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell under which .Nm build.sh is executed (if that can be determined), or using the first copy of .Pa sh found in .Sy PATH . .Pp All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system should make use of .Sy build.sh rather than just running .Dq make . This way, the .Xr make 1 program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host system has an older or incompatible .Dq make program. .Pp When compiling the entire system via .Sy build.sh , many .Xr make 1 variables are set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process. In the list of options below, variables that are automatically set by .Sy build.sh are noted where applicable. . .Pp The following operations are supported by .Sy build.sh : . .Bl -tag -width "distribution" . .It Sy build Build the system as per .Dq make build . Before the main part of the build commences, this command runs the .Sy obj operation (unless the .Fl o option is given), .Dq make cleandir (unless the .Fl u option is given), and the .Sy tools operation. . .It Sy distribution Build a full distribution as per .Dq make distribution . This command first runs the .Sy build operation. . .It Sy release Build a full release as per .Dq make release . This command first runs the .Sy distribution operation. . .It Sy makewrapper Create the .Sy \*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE wrapper. This operation is automatically performed for any of the other operations. . .It Sy cleandir Perform .Dq make cleandir . . .It Sy obj Perform .Dq make obj . . .It Sy tools Build and install the host tools from .Pa src/tools . This command will first run .Dq make obj and .Dq make cleandir in the .Pa tools subdirectory unless the .Fl o or .Fl u options (respectively) are given. . .It Sy install Ns = Ns Ar idir Install the contents of .Sy DESTDIR to .Ar idir , using .Dq make installworld . Note that files that are part of the .Dq etc or .Dq xetc sets will not be installed, unless overridden by the INSTALLSETS environment variable. . .It Sy kernel Ns = Ns Ar kconf Build a new kernel. The .Ar kconf argument is the name of a configuration file suitable for use by .Xr config 1 . If .Ar kconf does not contain any .Sq / characters, the configuration file is expected to be found in the .Sy KERNCONFDIR directory, which is typically .Pa sys/arch/MACHINE/conf . The new kernel will be built in a subdirectory of .Sy KERNOBJDIR , which is typically .Pa sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory. .Pp This command does .Em not imply the .Sy tools command; run the .Sy tools command first unless it is .Em certain that the tools already exist and are up to date. .Pp This command will run .Dq make cleandir on the kernel in question first unless the .Fl u option is given. . .It Sy kernel.gdb Ns = Ns Ar kconf Build a new kernel with debug information. Similar to the above .Sy kernel Ns = Ns Ar kconf operation, but creates a .Pa netbsd.gdb file alongside of the kernel .Pa netbsd , which contains a full symbol table and can be used for debugging (for example with a cross-gdb built by .Sy MKCROSSGDB ) . .It Sy kernels This command will build all kernels defined in port specific release build procedure. .Pp This command internally calls the .Sy kernel Ns = Ns Ar kconf operation for each found kernel configuration file. .It Sy modules This command will build kernel modules and install them into .Sy DESTDIR . . .It Sy releasekernel Ns = Ns Ar kconf Install a .Xr gzip 1 Ns ed copy of the kernel previously built by .Sy kernel Ns = Ns Ar kconf into .Sy RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR Ns Pa /binary/kernel , usually as .Pa netbsd- Ns Ar kconf Ns Pa .gz , although the .Dq Pa netbsd prefix is determined from the .Dq Sy config directives in .Ar kconf . . .It Sy sets Perform .Dq make sets . . .It Sy sourcesets Perform .Dq make sourcesets . . .It Sy syspkgs Perform .Dq make syspkgs . . .It Sy iso-image Perform .Dq make iso-image . . .It Sy iso-image-source Perform .Dq make iso-image-source . . .It Sy install-image Perform .Dq make install-image . . .It Sy live-image Perform .Dq make live-image . . .It Sy list-arch Prints a list of valid .Sy MACHINE and .Sy MACHINE_ARCH settings, the default .Sy MACHINE_ARCH for each .Sy MACHINE , and aliases for .Sy MACHINE Ns No / Ns Sy MACHINE_ARCH pairs, and then exits. The .Fl m or .Fl a options (or both) may be used to specify glob patterns that will be used to narrow the list of results; for example, .Dq Li build.sh -m 'evb*' -a '*arm*' list-arch will list all known .Sy MACHINE Ns No / Ns Sy MACHINE_ARCH values in which either .Sy MACHINE or .Sy ALIAS matches the pattern .Ql evb* , and .Sy MACHINE_ARCH matches the pattern .Ql *arm* . . .El . .Pp The following command line options alter the behaviour of the .Sy build.sh operations described above: . .Bl -tag -width "-T tools" . .It Fl a Ar arch Set the value of .Sy MACHINE_ARCH to .Ar arch . See the .Fl m option for more information. . .It Fl B Ar buildid Set the value of .Sy BUILDID to .Ar buildid . This will also append the build identifier to the name of the .Dq make wrapper script so that the resulting name is of the form .Dq Sy \*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE-BUILDID . . .It Fl C Ar cdextras Append .Ar cdextras to the .Sy CDEXTRA variable, which is a space-separated list of files or directories that will be added to the CD-ROM image that may be create by the .Dq iso-image or .Dq iso-image-source operations. Files will be added to the root of the CD-ROM image, whereas directories will be copied recursively. If relative paths are specified, they will be converted to absolute paths before being used. Multiple paths may be specified via multiple .Fl C options, or via a single option whose argument contains multiple space-separated paths. . .It Fl c Ar compiler Select the compiler for the toolchain to build .Nx and for inclusion in the .Nx distribution. Supported choices: .Bl -inset -offset indent .It clang .It gcc [default] .El .Pp The compiler used to build the toolchain can be different; see .Sy HOST_CC and .Sy HOST_CXX . .It Fl D Ar dest Set the value of .Sy DESTDIR to .Ar dest . If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. . .It Fl E Set .Sq expert mode. This overrides various sanity checks, and allows: .Sy DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for builds, and .Sy MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when building as a non-root user. .Pp .Em Note : It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing when you use this option. . .It Fl h Print a help message. . .It Fl j Ar njob Run up to .Ar njob .Xr make 1 subjobs in parallel; passed through to .Xr make 1 . If you see failures for reasons other than running out of memory while using .Sy build.sh with .Fl j , please save complete build logs so the failures can be analyzed. .Pp To achieve the fastest builds, .Fl j values between (1 + the number of CPUs) and (2 * the number of CPUs) are recommended. Use lower values on machines with limited memory or I/O bandwidth. . .It Fl M Ar obj Set .Sy MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to .Ar obj . Unsets .Sy MAKEOBJDIR . See .Dq Fl O Ar obj for more information. .Pp For instance, if the source directory is .Pa /usr/src , a setting of .Dq Fl M Pa /usr/obj will place build-time files under .Pa /usr/obj/usr/src/bin , .Pa /usr/obj/usr/src/lib , .Pa /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin , and so forth. .Pp If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. .Sy build.sh imposes the restriction that the argument to the .Fl M option must not begin with a .Dq \&$ (dollar sign) character; otherwise it would be too difficult to determine whether the value is an absolute or a relative path. If the directory does not already exist, .Sy build.sh will create it. . .It Fl m Ar mach Set the value of .Sy MACHINE to .Ar mach , unless the .Ar mach argument is an alias that refers to a .Sy MACHINE Ns No / Ns Sy MACHINE_ARCH pair, in which case both .Sy MACHINE and .Sy MACHINE_ARCH are set from the alias. Such aliases are interpreted entirely by .Sy build.sh ; they are not used by any other part of the build system. The .Sy MACHINE_ARCH setting implied by .Ar mach will override any value of .Sy MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment, but will not override a value set by the .Fl a option. All cross builds require .Fl m , but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE will be detected and used automatically. .Pp See the .Cm list-arch operation for a way to get a list of valid .Sy MACHINE and .Sy MACHINE_ARCH settings. . .It Fl N Ar noiselevel Set the .Dq noisyness level of the build, by setting .Sy MAKEVERBOSE to .Ar noiselevel . . .It Fl n Show the commands that would be executed by .Sy build.sh , but do not make any changes. This is similar in concept to .Dq make -n . . .It Fl O Ar obj Create an appropriate transform macro for .Sy MAKEOBJDIR that will place the built object files under .Ar obj . Unsets .Sy MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX . .Pp For instance, a setting of .Dq Fl O Pa /usr/obj will place build-time files under .Pa /usr/obj/bin , .Pa /usr/obj/lib , .Pa /usr/obj/usr.bin , and so forth. .Pp If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. .Sy build.sh imposes the restriction that the argument to the .Fl O option must not contain a .Dq \&$ (dollar sign) character. If the directory does not already exist, .Sy build.sh will create it. .Pp In normal use, exactly one of the .Fl M or .Fl O options should be specified. If neither .Fl M nor .Fl O is specified, then a default object directory will be chosen according to rules in .Aq bsd.obj.mk . Relying on this default is not recommended because it is determined by complex rules that are influenced by the values of several variables and by the location of the source directory. .Pp Note that placing the .Ar obj directory location outside of the default source tree hierarchy makes it easier to manually clear out old files in the event the .Dq make cleandir operation is unable to do so. (See .Sx CAVEATS below.) .Pp Note also that use of one of .Fl M or .Fl O is the only means of building multiple machine architecture userlands from the same source tree without cleaning between builds (in which case, one would specify distinct .Ar obj locations for each). .It Fl o Set the value of .Sy MKOBJDIRS to .Dq no . Otherwise, it will be automatically set to .Dq yes . This default is opposite to the behaviour when not using .Sy build.sh . . .It Fl R Ar rel Set the value of .Sy RELEASEDIR to .Ar rel . If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. . .It Fl r Remove the contents of .Sy DESTDIR and .Sy TOOLDIR before building (provides a clean starting point). This will skip deleting .Sy DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory. . .It Fl S Ar seed Change the value of .Sy BUILDSEED to .Ar seed . This should rarely be necessary. . .It Fl T Ar tools Set the value of .Sy TOOLDIR to .Ar tools . If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. If set, the bootstrap .Dq make will only be rebuilt if the source files for .Xr make 1 have changed. . .It Fl U Set .Sy MKUNPRIVED=yes . . .It Fl u Set .Sy MKUPDATE=yes . . .It Xo .Fl V .Sm off .Ar var .Li = .Op Ar value .Sm on .Xc Set the environment variable .Ar var to an optional .Ar value . This is propagated to the .Sy \*[toolprefix]make wrapper. . .It Fl w Ar wrapper Create the .Sy \*[toolprefix]make wrapper script (see below) in a custom location, specified by .Ar wrapper . This allows, for instance, to place the wrapper in .Sy PATH automatically. Note that .Ar wrapper is the full name of the file, not just a directory name. If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. . .It Fl X Ar x11src Set the value of .Sy X11SRCDIR to .Ar x11src . If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. . .It Fl x Set .Sy MKX11=yes . . .It Fl Y Ar extsrcdir Set the value of .Sy EXTSRCSRCDIR to .Ar extsrcdir . If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before being used. . .It Fl y Set .Sy MKEXTSRC=yes . . .It Fl Z Ar var Unset ("zap") the environment variable .Ar var . This is propagated to the .Sy \*[toolprefix]make wrapper. . .El . .Ss The \*q\*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE\*q wrapper script . If using the .Sy build.sh script to build .Nx , a .Sy \*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE script will be created in .Sy TOOLDIR Ns Pa /bin upon the first build to assist in building subtrees on a cross-compile host. .Pp .Sy \*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of .Xr make 1 , and will instead call the up-to-date version of .Dq \*[toolprefix]make installed into .Sy TOOLDIR Ns Pa /bin with several key variables pre-set, including .Sy MACHINE , MACHINE_ARCH , and .Sy TOOLDIR . .Sy \*[toolprefix]make-MACHINE will also set variables specified with .Fl V , and unset variables specified with .Fl Z . .Pp This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in .Sy PATH , or called with an absolute path. . .Sh EXAMPLES . .Bl -enum . .It .Li "% ./build.sh [options] tools kernel=GENERIC" .Pp Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and build a new GENERIC kernel. . .It .Li "% ./build.sh [options] -U distribution" .Pp Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a .Sy DESTDIR directory that .Sy build.sh selects (and will display). . .It .Li "# ./build.sh [options] -U install=/" .Pp As root, install to .Pa / the distribution that was built by example 2. Even though this is run as root, .Fl U is required so that the permissions stored in .Sy DESTDIR Ns Pa /METALOG are correctly applied to the files as they're copied to .Pa / . . .It .Li "% ./build.sh [options] -U -u release" .Pp Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to .Sy DESTDIR and .Sy RELEASEDIR directories that .Sy build.sh selects (and will display). .Sy MKUPDATE=yes .Pq Fl u is set to prevent the .Dq make cleandir , so that if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion of the release build. .El . .Sh OBSOLETE VARIABLES . .Bl -tag -width "NBUILDJOBS" . .It Sy NBUILDJOBS Use the .Xr make 1 option .Fl j instead. . .It Sy USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN The new toolchain is now the default. To disable, use .Sy TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr make 1 , .Xr hier 7 , .Xr release 7 , .Xr etcupdate 8 , .Xr postinstall 8 , .Xr sysinst 8 , .Pa pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools . .Sh HISTORY . The .Nm build.sh based build scheme was introduced for .Nx 1.6 as .Sy USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN , and re-worked to .Sy TOOLCHAIN_MISSING after that. . .Sh CAVEATS . After significant updates to third-party components in the source tree, the .Dq make cleandir operation may be insufficient to clean out old files in object directories. Instead, one may have to manually remove the files. Consult the .Pa UPDATING file for notices concerning this.
