lukem f26a4cc930 BUILDING: update from canonical mk.conf(5)
Incorporate content and styles updates for mk.conf entries
from share/man/man5/mk.conf.5, which is the canonical
reference for mk.conf.

Add: BSDOBJDIR, BSDSRCDIR, EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN, MKDEBUGKERNEL,
MKDEBUGTOOLS, MKHTML, MKLINKLIB, MKOBJDIRS, TOOLCHAIN_MISSING,
NETBSDSRCDIR

It's for further study as to whether we just replace the
most of subsection "make" variables with a link to mk.conf(5).

Style:
- Add more .de macros per mk.conf.5.
- Order list items alphabetically. When multiple items are present
  in a list item, sort within the item first.
- More cross-references.

NetBSD

NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.

Building

You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:

./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release

Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.

Binaries

Testing

On a running NetBSD system:

cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report

Troubleshooting

Latest sources

To fetch the main CVS repository:

cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -P src

To work in the Git mirror, which is updated every few hours from CVS:

git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/src.git
