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 |
|
implementation 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 |
|

|
|
MACHINE Machine type. |
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 |
