      BUILDING - Procedure for building NetBSD from source code.       BUILDING - Procedure for building NetBSD from source code.
   
 STATUS  
      This document is a work-in-progress.  As such, the information described  
      here may not match the reality of the build system as of this writing.  
      Once this document is completely in sync with reality, this paragraph  
      will be removed.  
   
      Discrepancies between this documentation and the current reality of im-  
      plementation are noted specially, as with the note below:  
   
      Note: This document applies only to platforms which use the new toolchain  
      as indicated by the setting of USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN in /etc/mk.conf or  
      <bsd.own.mk>.  Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new  
      toolchain should continue building traditionally, using the notes speci-  
      fied in the file UPDATING.

            extensions and need to be standardized.  As a result, cross-compil-

 CONFIGURATION  CONFIGURATION
      Environment variables
        Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.
   
        HOST_SH           Path name to a shell available on the host system and
                          suitable for use during the build.  The NetBSD build
                          system requires a modern Bourne-like shell with POSIX-
                          compliant features, and also requires support for the
                          ``local'' keyword to declare local variables in shell
                          functions (which is a widely-implemented but non-
                          standardised feature).
   
                          Depending on the host system, a suitable shell may be
                          /bin/sh, /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, /bin/ksh (provided it is a
                          variant of ksh that supports the ``local'' keyword,
                          such as ksh88, but not ksh93), or /usr/local/bin/bash.
   
                          Most parts of the build require HOST_SH to be an
                          absolute path; however, build.sh allows it to be a
                          simple command name, which will be converted to an
                          absolute path by searching the PATH.
   
        HOST_CC           Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain.
   
        HOST_CXX          Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain.
   
        MACHINE           Machine type, e.g., ``macppc''.
   
        MACHINE_ARCH      Machine architecture, e.g., ``powerpc''.
   
        MAKE              Path name to invoke make(1) as.
   
        MAKEFLAGS         Flags to invoke make(1) with.  Note that build.sh
                          ignores the value of MAKEFLAGS passed in the
                          environment, but allows MAKEFLAGS to be set via the -V
                          option.
   
        MAKEOBJDIR        Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current
                          directory.  The value is subjected to variable
                          expansion by make(1).  Typical usage is to set this
                          variable to a value involving the use of
                          `${.CURDIR:S...}' or `${.CURDIR:C...}', to derive the
                          value of .OBJDIR from the value of .CURDIR.  Used only
                          if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined.  MAKEOBJDIR can be
                          provided only in the environment or via the -O flag of
                          build.sh; it cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile,
                          including mk.conf or ${MAKECONF}.
   
        MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Top level directory of the object directory tree.  The
                          value is subjected to variable expansion by make(1).
                          build.sh will create the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory
                          if necessary, but if make(1) is used without build.sh,
                          then rules in <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 .OBJDIR
                          for the current directory.  The current directory may
                          be read only.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be provided only in
                          the environment or via the -M flag of build.sh; it
                          cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile, including
                          mk.conf or ${MAKECONF}.

      DESTDIR     Directory to contain the built NetBSD system.  If set, spe-       BUILDID     Identifier for the build.  If set, this should be a short
                  cial options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent                   string that is suitable for use as part of a file or
                  their default use of the host system's /usr/include,                   directory name.  The identifier will be appended to object
                  /usr/lib, and so forth.  This pathname should not end with a                   directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1)
                  slash (/) character (for installation into the system's root                   configuration file in order to set additional build
                  directory, set DESTDIR to an empty string).                   parameters, such as compiler flags.  It will also be used as
                    part of the kernel version string, which can be printed by
                    ``uname -v''.
   
                    Default: Unset.
   
                  Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset other-       BUILDINFO   This may be a multi-line string containing information about
                  wise.                   the build.  This will appear in DESTDIR/etc/release, and it
                    will be stored in the buildinfo variable in any kernels that
                    are built.  When such kernels are booted, the sysctl(7)
                    kern.buildinfo variable will report this value.  The string
                    may contain backslash escape sequences, such as ``\\''
                    (representing a backslash character) and ``\n'' (representing
                    a newline).
   
                    Default: Unset.
   
        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.
   
        DESTDIR     Directory to contain the built NetBSD system.  If set,
                    special options are passed to the compilation tools to
                    prevent their default use of the host system's /usr/include,
                    /usr/lib, and so forth.  This pathname must be an absolute
                    path, and should not end with a slash (/) character.  (For
                    installation into the system's root directory, set DESTDIR to
                    an empty string, not to ``/'').  The directory must reside on
                    a file system which supports long file names and hard links.
   
                    Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset
                    otherwise.
   
                    Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE (in
                    the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode.
   
        EXTSRCSRCDIR
                    Directory containing sources of externally added programs and
                    libraries.  If specified, must be an absolute path.
   
                    Default: NETBSDRCDIR/../extsrc, if that exists; otherwise
                    /usr/extsrc.

                      Before ``make install-image'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR must
                      be populated by ``make release'' or equivalent.  The build
                      must have been performed with MKUNPRIVED=yes because ``make
                      install-image'' relies on information in DESTDIR/METALOG.
   
        live-image    Create NetBSD live images in the RELEASEDIR/images
                      directory.  The live image contains all necessary files to
                      boot NetBSD up to multi-user mode, including all files
                      which should be extracted during installation, NetBSD
                      disklabel, bootloaders, etc.
   
                      The live image is suitable for use as a disk image in
                      virtual machine environments such as QEMU, and also useful
                      to boot NetBSD from a USB flash memory stick on a real
                      machine, without the need for installation.

      a usable alternative.  
        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
   
              /path/to/suitable/shell build.sh [options]
   
        The above command will usually enable build.sh to automatically set
        HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell, but if that fails, then the following
        set of commands may be used instead:
   
              HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell
              export HOST_SH
              ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options]
   
        If 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 HOST_SH is not set explicitly, then build.sh sets a default using
        heuristics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell under which
        build.sh is executed (if that can be determined), or using the first copy
        of sh found in PATH.

      The following are available command line options that may be supplied to       The following operations are supported by build.sh:
      build.sh:  
   
      -a arch   Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch.  
   
      -b        Bootstrap ``make'' and create a nbmake-MACHINE script (see be-       build         Build the system as per ``make build''.  Before the main
                low).                     part of the build commences, this command runs the obj
                      operation (unless the -o option is given), ``make
      -j njob   Set the value of NBUILDJOBS to njob.  This provides similar                     cleandir'' (unless the -u option is given), and the tools
                functionality to the familiar ``make -j'', but preserves the                     operation.
                ordering of the top level ``make build''.  
        distribution  Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''.
      -m mach   Set the value of MACHINE to mach.  This will also override any                     This command first runs the build operation.
                value of MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value  
                deduced from mach, unless -a is specified.  All cross builds       release       Build a full release as per ``make release''.  This command
                require -m, but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of                     first runs the distribution operation.
                MACHINE will be detected and used automatically.  
        makewrapper   Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper.  This operation is
                      automatically performed for any of the other operations.
   
        cleandir      Perform ``make cleandir''.
   
        obj           Perform ``make obj''.
   
        tools         Build and install the host tools from src/tools.  This
                      command will first run ``make obj'' and ``make cleandir''
                      in the tools subdirectory unless the -o or -u options
                      (respectively) are given.
   
        install=idir  Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make
                      installworld''.  Note that files that are part of the
                      ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed, unless
                      overridden by the INSTALLSETS environment variable.
   
        kernel=kconf  Build a new kernel.  The kconf argument is the name of a
                      configuration file suitable for use by config(1).  If kconf
                      does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file
                      is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which
                      is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf.  The new kernel will be
                      built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically
                      sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory.
   
                      This command does not imply the tools command; run the
                      tools command first unless it is certain that the tools
                      already exist and are up to date.
   
                      This command will run ``make cleandir'' on the kernel in
                      question first unless the -u option is given.
   
        kernel.gdb=kconf
                      Build a new kernel with debug information.  Similar to the
                      above kernel=kconf operation, but creates a netbsd.gdb file
                      alongside of the kernel netbsd, which contains a full
                      symbol table and can be used for debugging (for example
                      with a cross-gdb built by MKCROSSGDB).
   
        kernels       This command will build all kernels defined in port
                      specific release build procedure.
   
                      This command internally calls the kernel=kconf operation
                      for each found kernel configuration file.
   
        modules       This command will build kernel modules and install them
                      into DESTDIR.
   
        releasekernel=kconf
                      Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel previously built by
                      kernel=kconf into
                      RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/binary/kernel, usually as
                      netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is
                      determined from the ``config'' directives in kconf.
   
        sets          Perform ``make sets''.
   
        sourcesets    Perform ``make sourcesets''.
   
        syspkgs       Perform ``make syspkgs''.
   
        iso-image     Perform ``make iso-image''.
   
        iso-image-source
                      Perform ``make iso-image-source''.
   
        install-image
                      Perform ``make install-image''.
   
        live-image    Perform ``make live-image''.
   
        list-arch     Prints a list of valid MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH settings,
                      the default MACHINE_ARCH for each MACHINE, and aliases for
                      MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH pairs, and then exits.  The -m or -a
                      options (or both) may be used to specify glob patterns that
                      will be used to narrow the list of results; for example,
                      ``build.sh -m 'evm*' -a '*arm*' list-arch'' will list all
                      known MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH values in which either MACHINE
                      or ALIAS matches the pattern `evb*', and MACHINE_ARCH
                      matches the pattern `*arm*'.
   
        The following command line options alter the behaviour of the build.sh
        operations described above:
   
        -a arch   Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch.  See the -m option for
                  more information.
   
        -B buildid
                  Set the value of BUILDID to buildid.  This will also append the
                  build identifier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so
                  that the resulting name is of the form
                  ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''.
   
        -C cdextras
                  Append cdextras to the 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 ``iso-image'' or
                  ``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 -C options, or via a single
                  option whose argument contains multiple space-separated paths.
   
        -D dest   Set the value of DESTDIR to dest.  If a relative path is
                  specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
                  being used.
   
        -E        Set `expert' mode.  This overrides various sanity checks, and
                  allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for
                  builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when
                  building as a non-root user.
   
                  Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing
                  when you use this option.
   
        -h        Print a help message.
   
        -j njob   Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel; passed through to
                  make(1).  If you see failures for reasons other than running
                  out of memory while using build.sh with -j, please save
                  complete build logs so the failures can be analyzed.
   
                  To achieve the fastest builds, -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.
   
        -M obj    Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj.  Unsets MAKEOBJDIR.  See ``-O
                  obj'' for more information.
   
                  For instance, if the source directory is /usr/src, a setting of
                  ``-M /usr/obj'' will place build-time files under
                  /usr/obj/usr/src/bin, /usr/obj/usr/src/lib,
                  /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin, and so forth.
   
                  If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an
                  absolute path before being used.  build.sh imposes the
                  restriction that the argument to the -M option must not begin
                  with a ``$'' (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,
                  build.sh will create it.
   
        -m mach   Set the value of MACHINE to mach, unless the mach argument is
                  an alias that refers to a MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH pair, in which
                  case both MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH are set from the alias.
                  Such aliases are interpreted entirely by build.sh; they are not
                  used by any other part of the build system.  The MACHINE_ARCH
                  setting implied by mach will override any value of MACHINE_ARCH
                  in the process environment, but will not override a value set
                  by the -a option.  All cross builds require -m, but if unset on
                  a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE will be detected and
                  used automatically.
   
                  See the list-arch operation for a way to get a list of valid
                  MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH settings.
   
        -N noiselevel
                  Set the ``noisyness'' level of the build, by setting
                  MAKEVERBOSE to noiselevel.
   
      -n        Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do       -n        Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do
                not make any changes.  This is similar in concept to ``make                 not make any changes.  This is similar in concept to ``make
                -n''.                 -n''.
   
      -o        Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''.       -O obj    Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will
                  place the built object files under obj.  Unsets
                  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.
   
                  For instance, a setting of ``-O /usr/obj'' will place build-
                  time files under /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, /usr/obj/usr.bin,
                  and so forth.
   
                  If a relative path is specified, it will be converted to an
                  absolute path before being used.  build.sh imposes the
                  restriction that the argument to the -O option must not contain
                  a ``$'' (dollar sign) character.  If the directory does not
                  already exist, build.sh will create it.
   
                  In normal use, exactly one of the -M or -O options should be
                  specified.  If neither -M nor -O is specified, then a default
                  object directory will be chosen according to rules in
                  <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.
   
                  Note that placing the obj directory location outside of the
                  default source tree hierarchy makes it easier to manually clear
                  out old files in the event the ``make cleandir'' operation is
                  unable to do so.  (See CAVEATS below.)
   
                  Note also that use of one of -M or -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 obj locations for each).
   
        -o        Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''.  Otherwise, it will be
                  automatically set to ``yes''.  This default is opposite to the
                  behaviour when not using build.sh.
   
        -R rel    Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel.  If a relative path is
                  specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
                  being used.
   
      -r        Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building       -r        Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building

      -u        Set the UPDATE variable.       -T tools  Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools.  If a relative path is
                  specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
                  being used.  If set, the bootstrap ``make'' will only be
                  rebuilt if the source files for make(1) have changed.
   
        -U        Set MKUNPRIVED=yes.
   
        -u        Set MKUPDATE=yes.
   
        -V var=[value]
                  Set the environment variable var to an optional value.  This is
                  propagated to the nbmake wrapper.

                  path before being used.
   
        -X x11src
                  Set the value of X11SRCDIR to x11src.  If a relative path is
                  specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
                  being used.
   
        -x        Set MKX11=yes.
   
        -Y extsrcdir
                  Set the value of EXTSRCSRCDIR to extsrcdir.  If a relative path
                  is specified, it will be converted to an absolute path before
                  being used.
   
      -D dest   Set the value of DESTDIR to dest.       -y        Set MKEXTSRC=yes.
   
      -O obj    Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will       -Z var    Unset ("zap") the environment variable var.  This is propagated

      -R rel    Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel.  Setting this option will  
                cause build.sh to run ``make release'' instead of ``make  
                build''.  
   
      -T tools  Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools.  If set, the bootstrap

   EXAMPLES
        1.   % ./build.sh [options] tools kernel=GENERIC
   
             Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and
             build a new GENERIC kernel.
   
        2.   % ./build.sh [options] -U distribution
   
             Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR
             directory that build.sh selects (and will display).
   
        3.   # ./build.sh [options] -U install=/
   
             As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2.
             Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the
             permissions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the
             files as they're copied to /.
   
        4.   % ./build.sh [options] -U -u release
   
             Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and
             RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display).
             MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that
             if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion
             of the release build.
   
   OBSOLETE VARIABLES
        NBUILDJOBS  Use the make(1) option -j instead.
   
        USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
