 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 USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN 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.

            Note: A couple host toolchain components are not yet available in  
            the tools directory.  Also, some tools use non-POSIX, non-ANSI C  
            extensions and need to be standardized.  As a result, cross-compil-  
            ing from systems other than NetBSD is not currently supported.

      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.

        MAKEOBJDIR        Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc-
                          tory.  The value is subjected to variable expansion by
                          make(1).  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
                          specified, must be an absolute path.  If this is
                          defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the
                          .OBJDIR for the current directory.  The current direc-
                          tory may be read only.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only be

      NOCLEANDIR     If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full                        Default: ``no''

                     Default: Unset.       NOCLEANDIR       If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full

                         files in a source tree to be recompiled.  This can speed
                         up builds when updating only a few files in the tree.
   
      NOINCLUDES     If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full                        Default: Unset.
                     build.  This has the effect of preventing make(1) from  
                     thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply because  
                     the system include files have changed.  However, this op-  
                     tion should not be used when updating the entire NetBSD  
                     source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use UPDATE in  
                     that case.  
   
                     Default: Unset.       NODISTRIBDIRS    If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full
                         build.  This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful

                      ing.
   
                      The INSTALLSETS environment variable may be set to a list
                      of distribution sets to be installed.  By default, all sets
                      except ``etc'' and ``xetc'' are installed (so most files in
                      INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc will not be installed or modified).
   
                      Note: Before performing this operation with
                      INSTALLWORLDDIR=/, it is highly recommended that you
                      upgrade your kernel and reboot.  After performing this
                      operation, it is recommended that you use etcupdate(8) to
                      update files in INSTALLWORLDDIR/etc and that you use
                      postinstall(8) to check for inconsistencies (and possibly
                      to fix them).
   
        sets          Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into

                      distribution'' (as ``make build'' does not install all of
                      the required files).

        release       Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution
                      media, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and
                      then package the system into a standard release layout as
                      described by release(7).  This requires that RELEASEDIR be
                      set (see above).
   
        iso-image     Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the
                      RELEASEDIR/iso directory.  The CD-ROM file system will 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 installa-
                      tion 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/MACHINE/installation/cdrom directory by
                      ``make release''.  These smaller images usually contain the
                      same tools as the larger images in RELEASEDIR/iso, 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) util-
                      ity, 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/iso 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 installa-
                      tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a
                      NetBSD system.  Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that

                      Before ``make iso-image-source'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR
                      must be populated by ``make sourcesets release'' or equiva-
                      lent.

      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.       build         Build the system as per ``make build''.  This option
                      implies the obj and tools operations.

                      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''.  Note that files that are part of the
                      ``etc'' or ``xetc'' sets will not be installed.

                low).                     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).
   
      -d        Build a full distribution.  This differs from a normal build in       releasekernel=kconf
                that etc files will also be installed.  Note this does not                     Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel built by

                LEASEDIR}.                     as netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is
                      determined from the ``config'' directives in kconf.

                functionality to the familiar ``make -j'', but preserves the       sets          Perform ``make sets''.
                ordering of the top level ``make build''.

                MACHINE will be detected and used automatically.  
        iso-image-source
                      Perform ``make iso-image-source''.
   
        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.
   
        -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
                  Set the value of CDEXTRA to cdextras which is a space-separated
                  list of files or directories which will be added in order to
                  the CD-ROM image when used in conjunction with ``iso-image'' or
                  ``iso-image-source''.  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.
   
        -D dest   Set the value of DESTDIR to dest.  If a relative path is speci-
                  fied, 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 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.  If a relative path is specified,
                  it will be converted to an absolute path before being used.
                  Unsets MAKEOBJDIR.
   
        -m mach   Set the value of MACHINE to mach, except in some special cases
                  listed below.  This will also override any value of
                  MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value deduced
                  from mach, unless -a is specified.  All cross builds require
                  -m, but if unset on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE
                  will be detected and used automatically.
   
                  Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH.  The

   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
        NBUILDJOBS  Use the make(1) option -j, instead.
   
        USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
                    The new toolchain is now the default.  To disable, use
                    TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes.
