 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 default setting of TOOLCHAIN_MISSING in <bsd.own.mk>.  
      Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new toolchain should  
      continue building traditionally, using the notes specified in the file  
      UPDATING.

    Environment variables     Environment variables
      Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.       Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.
   
      MACHINE           Machine type.       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.
   
      MACHINE_ARCH      Machine architecture.       HOST_CC           Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain.
   
      MAKE              Path name to invoke make(1) as.       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".
   
      MAKEFLAGS         Flags to invoke make(1) with.       MAKE              Path name to invoke make(1) as.

                        via the -M flag of build.sh.                         option.
   
      MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Top level directory of the object directory tree.  If       MAKEOBJDIR        Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current

                        build.sh.                         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

                      have a layout as described in release(7).
   
                      For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and
                      will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based
                      installation program, which can be used to install or
                      upgrade a NetBSD system.  Bootable CD-ROMs also contain
                      tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD
                      installation.
   
                      Before "make iso-image" is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be
                      populated by "make release" or equivalent.
   
                      Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in
                      the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom
                      directory by "make release".  These smaller images usually
                      contain the same tools as the larger images in
                      RELEASEDIR/images, but do not contain additional content
                      such as the distribution sets.
   
                      Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of
                      creating CD-ROM images.  This requires the mkisofs(1)
                      utility, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be
                      installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools.
   
        iso-image-source
                      Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the
                      RELEASEDIR/images directory.  The CD-ROM file system will
                      have a layout as described in release(7).  It will have top
                      level directories for the machine type and source.
   
                      For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and
                      will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based
                      installation program, which can be used to install or
                      upgrade a NetBSD system.  Bootable CD-ROMs also contain
                      tools that may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD
                      installation.
   
                      Before "make iso-image-source" is attempted, RELEASEDIR
                      must be populated by "make sourcesets release" or
                      equivalent.
   
                      Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in
                      the RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/cdrom
                      directory by "make release".  These smaller images usually
                      contain the same tools as the larger images in
                      RELEASEDIR/images, but do not contain additional content

                      installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools.
   
        install-image
                      Create a bootable NetBSD installation disk image in the
                      RELEASEDIR/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 release(7).
   
                      The installation image is bootable, and will automatically
                      run the sysinst(8) menu-based installation program, which
                      can be used to install or upgrade a NetBSD system.  The
                      image also contains tools that may be useful in repairing a
                      damaged NetBSD installation.
   
                      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.
   
                      Before "make live-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.

        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.

                      sbmips-el     sbmips     mipsel  
        -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.

                place the built object files under obj.  For instance, a set-                 place the built object files under obj.  Unsets

                /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, and so forth.  
   
      -o        Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''.  Otherwise, it will be  
                automatically set to ``yes'' (which is opposite to the default  
                behaviour).  
   
      -R rel    Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel.                 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

                  if the source files for make(1) have changed.
   
      -U        Set MKUNPRIVED=yes.       -U        Set MKUNPRIVED=yes.
   
      -u        Set MKUPDATE=yes.       -u        Set MKUPDATE=yes.

        -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.

 BUGS  CAVEATS
      A few platforms are not yet using this build system.       After significant updates to third-party components in the source tree,
        the "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 UPDATING file for notices concerning this.
