                      3: NAME
                      4:      BUILDING - Procedure for building NetBSD from source code.
                      5:
                      6: STATUS
                      7:      This document is a work-in-progress.  As such, the information described
                      8:      here may not match the reality of the build system as of this writing.
                      9:      Once this document is completely in sync with reality, this paragraph
                     10:      will be removed.
                     11:
                     12:      Discrepancies between this documentation and the current reality of im-
                     13:      plementation are noted specially, as with the note below:
                     14:
                     15:      Note: This document applies only to platforms which use the new toolchain
1.15      lukem      16:      as indicated by the default setting of TOOLCHAIN_MISSING in <bsd.own.mk>.
1.5       tv         17:      Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new toolchain should
                     18:      continue building traditionally, using the notes specified in the file
                     19:      UPDATING.
1.1       tv         20:
                     21: REQUIREMENTS
                     22:      NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems.
                     23:      The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the
                     24:      same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or
                     25:      OS).
                     26:
                     27:      This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the
                     28:      host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture.  The
                     29:      host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the
                     30:      toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of
                     31:      the NetBSD build process.
                     32:
1.22    ! lukem      33:            Note: A couple of host toolchain components are not yet available
        !            34:            in the tools directory.  Also, some tools use non-POSIX, non-ANSI C
1.1       tv         35:            extensions and need to be standardized.  As a result, cross-compil-
                     36:            ing from systems other than NetBSD is not currently supported.
