      HOST_SH           Path name to a POSIX-compliant shell.  If this is not       HOST_SH           Path name to a shell available on the host system and
                        set explicitly, then the default is set using heuris-                         suitable for use during the build.  The NetBSD build
                        tics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell                         system requires a modern Bourne-like shell with POSIX-
                        under which build.sh is executed (if that can be deter-                         compliant features, and also requires support for the
                        mined), or using the first copy of sh found in PATH.                         ``local'' keyword to declare local variables in shell
                        If the host system's /bin/sh is not POSIX-compliant, we                         functions (which is a widely-implemented but non-stan-
                        suggest that you build using commands like                         dardised feature).
   
                              HOST_SH=/path/to/working/shell                         Depending on the host system, a suitable shell may be

                          such as ksh88, but not ksh93), or /usr/local/bin/bash.
   
                          Most parts of the build require HOST_SH to be an abso-
                          lute 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_CC           Path name to C compiler used to create the toolchain.
   
      HOST_CXX          Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain.       HOST_CXX          Path name to C++ compiler used to create the toolchain.

        install-image
                      Create a bootable NetBSD installation disk image in the
                      RELEASEDIR/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/installimage
                      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/RELEASEMACHINEDIR/installation/liveimage direc-
                      tory.  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 vir-
                      tual 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

        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.
