1.105     wiz         3: NAME
                      4:      BUILDING -- Procedure for building NetBSD from source code.
1.1       tv          5:
1.105     wiz         6: REQUIREMENTS
1.1       tv          7:      NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems.
1.105     wiz         8:      The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the
                      9:      same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or
1.1       tv         10:      OS).
                     11:
                     12:      This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the
                     13:      host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture.  The
                     14:      host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the
1.105     wiz        15:      toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of
1.53      reed       16:      the NetBSD build process.  (See the environment variables section below
                     17:      if you need to override or manually select your compilers.)

                     29:
1.105     wiz        30:      Makefile       The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for
1.44      lukem      31:                     native builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of
1.1       tv         32:                     NetBSD make(1).  (For building from out-of-date systems or
1.105     wiz        33:                     on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.)
1.1       tv         34:

1.1       tv         36:                     NetBSD.  It is important to read this file before every
                     37:                     build of an updated source tree.
                     38:

1.1       tv         40:                     build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch.  Can be
                     41:                     used for both native and cross builds, and should be used
                     42:                     instead of make(1) for any source tree that is updated and
                     43:                     recompiled regularly.

1.105     wiz        48:                     in bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1)

                     55:                     applicable license.  This is (slowly) replacing the
                     56:                     crypto/dist, dist, and gnu/dist directories.

1.70      dholland   64:                     Regression test harness.  Can be cross-compiled, but only
1.105     wiz        65:                     run natively.  tests/ uses the atf(7) test framework;

1.96      apb        92:                        suitable for use during the build.  The NetBSD build
                     93:                        system requires a modern Bourne-like shell with POSIX-
                     94:                        compliant features, and also requires support for the

1.104     wiz        96:                        functions (which is a widely-implemented but non-

1.96      apb        98:

1.105     wiz       102:                        such as ksh88, but not ksh93), or /usr/local/bin/bash.
1.96      apb       103:
1.105     wiz       104:                        Most parts of the build require HOST_SH to be an

1.104     wiz       106:                        simple command name, which will be converted to an
1.105     wiz       107:                        absolute path by searching the PATH.
1.58      apb       108:

                    120:                        ignores the value of MAKEFLAGS passed in the
                    121:                        environment, but allows MAKEFLAGS to be set via the -V
1.104     wiz       122:                        option.

                    126:                        expansion by make(1).  Typical usage is to set this
                    127:                        variable to a value involving the use of
                    128:                        `${.CURDIR:S...}' or `${.CURDIR:C...}', to derive the
1.105     wiz       129:                        value of .OBJDIR from the value of .CURDIR.  Used only
                    130:                        if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined.  MAKEOBJDIR can be
                    131:                        provided only in the environment or via the -O flag of
                    132:                        build.sh; it cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile,

1.8       lukem     134:

1.88      apb       136:                        value is subjected to variable expansion by make(1).
1.105     wiz       137:                        build.sh will create the ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory
                    138:                        if necessary, but if make(1) is used without build.sh,
1.88      apb       139:                        then rules in <bsd.obj.mk> will abort the build if the
                    140:                        ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX} directory does not exist.  If the
1.104     wiz       141:                        value is defined and valid, then
1.105     wiz       142:                        ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used as the .OBJDIR
1.104     wiz       143:                        for the current directory.  The current directory may
1.105     wiz       144:                        be read only.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can be provided only in
                    145:                        the environment or via the -M flag of build.sh; it
1.104     wiz       146:                        cannot usefully be set inside a Makefile, including
