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 Sy doc/BUILDING.mdoc This document (in -mdoc troff format; the original copy). .It Sy BUILDING This document (in plaintext). .It Sy tools/compat/README Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on non-NetBSD platforms. .It Sy 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 . (For building from out-of-date systems or on a non-native host, see the .Nm build.sh shell script.) .It Sy 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 Sy 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 for any source tree that is updated and recompiled regularly. .It Sy 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 Sy 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 Sy 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 Sy sys/ .Nx kernel sources. .It Sy tools/ .Dq Reachover build structure for the host build tools. This has a special method of determining out-of-date status. .It Sy 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 Sy x11/ .Dq Reachover build structure for X11R6; the source is in .Sy X11SRCDIR . .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 . .Pp . .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_CXX Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain. . .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. 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 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 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 .Sy /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 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. .DFLTy . .It Sy MKCRYPTO .YorN Indicates whether cryptographic code will be included in a build; provided for the benefit of countries that do not allow strong cryptography. Will not affect use of the standard low-security password encryption system, .Xr crypt 3 . .DFLTy . .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 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, used for the documentation for most of the compilation tools, will be created and installed during a build. .DFLTy . .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 sh3 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 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 program binaries and shared libraries should be built to include RCS IDs for use with .Xr ident 1 . .DFLTn . .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 X11R6 source. If specified, must be an absolute path. The main X11R6 source is found in .Sy X11SRCDIR Ns Pa /xfree/xc . .DFLT .Sy NETBSDRCDIR Ns Pa /../xsrc , if that exists; otherwise .Pa /usr/xsrc . . .It Sy X11FLAVOUR The style of X11 cross-built, set to either .Dq Xorg or .Dq XFree86 . .DFLT .Dq Xorg on amd64, i386, macppc, shark and sparc64 platforms, .Dq XFree86 on everything else. . .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 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 that you use .Xr postinstall 8 to check for inconsistencies (and possibly to fix them). .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 /iso 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 /iso , 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 /iso 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 /iso , 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 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 .Sy sys/arch/MACHINE/conf . The new kernel will be built in a subdirectory of .Sy KERNOBJDIR , which is typically .Sy 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 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 . . .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 . . .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 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 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 , except in some special cases listed below. This will also override any value of .Sy MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value deduced from .Ar mach , unless .Fl a is specified. 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 Some machines support multiple values for .Sy MACHINE_ARCH . The following special cases for the .Ar mach argument are defined to set the listed values of .Sy MACHINE and .Sy MACHINE_ARCH : .Bl -column "evbmips-el" "MACHINE" "MACHINE_ARCH" -offset indent .It Sy mach Ta Sy "MACHINE" Ta Sy "MACHINE_ARCH" .It evbarm Ta evbarm Ta (not set) .It evbarm-eb Ta evbarm Ta armeb .It evbarm-el Ta evbarm Ta arm .It evbmips Ta evbmips Ta (not set) .It evbmips-eb Ta evbmips Ta mipseb .It evbmips-el Ta evbmips Ta mipsel .It evbsh3 Ta evbsh3 Ta (not set) .It evbsh3-eb Ta evbsh3 Ta sh3eb .It evbsh3-el Ta evbsh3 Ta sh3el .It sbmips Ta sbmips Ta (not set) .It sbmips-eb Ta sbmips Ta mipseb .It sbmips-el Ta sbmips Ta mipsel .El . .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. .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 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/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/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.
