      Environment variables
        Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.
   
        HOST_SH           Path name to a POSIX-compliant shell.  If this is not
                          set explicitly, then the default is set using heuris-
                          tics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell
                          under which build.sh is executed (if that can be deter-
                          mined), or using the first copy of sh found in PATH.
                          If the host system's /bin/sh is not POSIX-compliant, we
                          suggest that you build using commands like
   
                                HOST_SH=/path/to/working/shell
                                export HOST_SH
                                ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options]
   
        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.
   
        MACHINE_ARCH      Machine architecture.
   
        MAKE              Path name to invoke make(1) as.
   
        MAKEFLAGS         Flags to invoke make(1) with.
   
        MAKEOBJDIR        Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc-
                          tory.  Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined.
                          MAKEOBJDIR can only be provided in the environment or
                          via the -O flag of build.sh.
   
        MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Top level directory of the object directory tree.  If
                          this is defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used
                          as the .OBJDIR for the current directory.  The current
                          directory may be read only.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only
                          be provided in the environment or via the -M flag of

      The following are available command line options that may be supplied to       The following operations are supported by build.sh:
      build.sh:  
        build         Build the system as per ``make build''.  This option
                      implies the obj and tools operations.
   
        distribution  Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''.
                      This option implies the build operation.
   
        release       Build a full release as per ``make release''.  This option
                      implies the distribution operation.
   
        makewrapper   Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper.  This operation is auto-
                      matically performed for any of the other operations.
   
        obj           Perform ``make obj''.
   
        tools         Build and install the host tools from src/tools.
   
        install=idir  Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make
                      installworld''.
   
        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.
                      In order to ensure that the kernel is built using up-to-
                      date tools, it is strongly recommended that the tools be
                      rebuilt (using the tools operation).
   
        releasekernel=kconf
                      Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel built by
                      kernel=kconf into RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/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''.
   
        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.       -a arch   Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch.
   
      -b        Bootstrap ``make'' and create a nbmake-MACHINE script (see be-       -B buildid
                low).                 Set the value of BUILDID to buildid.  This will also append the
                  build idenfitier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so
                  that the resulting name is of the form
                  ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''.
   
        -D dest   Set the value of DESTDIR to dest.
   
      -j njob   Set the value of NBUILDJOBS to njob.  This provides similar       -E        Set `expert' mode.  This overrides various sanity checks, and
                functionality to the familiar ``make -j'', but preserves the                 allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for
                ordering of the top level ``make build''.                 builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build-
                  ing 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   Passed through to make(1).  Makefiles should use .WAIT or have
                  explicit dependancies as necessary to enforce build ordering.
                  If you see build failures with -j, please save complete build
                  logs so the failures can be analyzed.
   
        -M obj    Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj.  Unsets MAKEOBJDIR.

   EXAMPLES
        1.   % ./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC
   
             Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and
             build a new GENERIC kernel.
   
        2.   % ./build.sh -U distribution
   
             Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR
             directory that build.sh selects (and will display).
   
        3.   # ./build.sh -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 permis-
             sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files
             as they're copied to /.
   
        4.   % ./build.sh -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

        USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
