5: This is the README file for the new make "include" files for the BSD
6: source tree. The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are, by
7: convention, named with the suffix ".mk".
1.17 espie 8:
9: bsd.dep.mk - handle Makefile dependencies
10: bsd.lib.mk - support for building libraries
11: bsd.man.mk - installing manual pages and their links
12: bsd.obj.mk - creating 'obj' directories and cleaning up
13: bsd.own.mk - define common variables
14: bsd.port.mk - building ports
1.46 espie 15: bsd.port.arch.mk - glue for building ports with MD stuff
1.17 espie 16: bsd.port.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories for ports
17: bsd.prog.mk - building programs from source files
1.30 provos 18: bsd.regress.mk - regression tests
19: bsd.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories
1.17 espie 20: bsd.sys.mk - building bsd from the source tree
1.1 deraadt 21:
22: Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk
23: files for anything tricky.

27: RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
28:
29: The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
30: you'd expect. The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
31: used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
32:
33: One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
34: of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile. The reason for
35: this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
36: values of variables set in the Makefile. To make this work, remember that
37: the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
38:
39: a:
40: echo a
41: a:
42: echo a number two
43:
44: the command "make a" will echo "a". To make things confusing, the SECOND
45: variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
46:
47: a= foo
48: a= bar
49:
50: b:
51: echo ${a}
52:
53: the command "make b" will echo "bar". This is for compatibility with the
54: way the V7 make behaved.
55:
1.23 espie 56: To make things even more confusing, make uses lazy evaluation. All
57: variables are expanded only when needed. Which means that, in
58:
59: a= foo
60:
61: b: $(a)
62: echo $(.ALLSRC)
63: echo $(a)
64:
65: foo:
66: touch foo
67:
68: a= bar
69:
70: the command "make b" will echo "foo"; echo "bar". The first $(a) means
71: "foo", because it's needed to generate the dependency rule when it's read,
72: but the second $(a) is only expanded when needed, at which point a contains
73: bar.
74:
1.1 deraadt 75: It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
1.16 espie 76: multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier to split up the
1.1 deraadt 77: programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from making
1.16 espie 78: the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switched to a new version
1.1 deraadt 79: of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple
80: architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff. (Imake doesn't
81: count.)
82:
83: The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
84: for the source files. This file is read automatically by make after reading
85: the Makefile.
86:
87: The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change
88: the tree where the file gets installed.
89:
90: The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
91: the regular libraries. A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
92: object.
93:
94: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
95:
96: The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
97: environment or otherwise. You probably don't want to touch this file.
98:
99: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
100:
101: The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
102: links.
103:
104: It has a single target:
105:
106: maninstall:
107: Install the manual pages and their links.
108:
109: It sets/uses the following variables:
110:
111: MANDIR Base path for manual installation.
112:
113: MANGRP Manual group.
114:
115: MANOWN Manual owner.
116:
117: MANMODE Manual mode.
118:
1.24 mpech 119: MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "vax"
120: or "tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
1.1 deraadt 121:
1.4 niklas 122: MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
1.1 deraadt 123:
1.4 niklas 124: MLINKS List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix). The
1.1 deraadt 125: linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
126: and there may be multiple pairs. The files are soft-linked.
1.40 espie 127:
128: BEFOREMAN List of extra targets that must be already built before the
129: man target can be run. Those targets must be real files (and
130: not .PHONY targets).
1.1 deraadt 131:
132: The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
133: it exists.
134:
135: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
136:
1.8 deraadt 137: The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains source tree configuration parameters,
138: such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and
139: a few global "feature configuration" parameters.
1.1 deraadt 140:
141: It has no targets.
142:
1.8 deraadt 143: To get system-specific configuration parameters, bsd.own.mk will try to
144: include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable. If MAKECONF is not
145: set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf
146: is included. These files may define any of the variables described below.
147:
148: bsd.own.mk sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
149: (defaults are in brackets):
1.4 niklas 150:
151: BSDSRCDIR The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
152: will work correctly. [/usr/src]

1.1 deraadt 191:
1.15 millert 192: INSTALL_STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
1.1 deraadt 193: to be stripped. This is to be used when building your
194: own install script so that the entire system can be made
1.15 millert 195: stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. Note that
196: INSTALL_STRIP is not set if ${DEBUG} is defined. [-s]
1.1 deraadt 197:
1.15 millert 198: INSTALL_COPY The old usage of this flag is obsolescent since install(1)
199: now copies by default. However, it can also be used to
200: specify that a file not be copied unless it is different
201: (via the -p option). See install(1) for details. This
202: is to be used when building our own install script so
203: that the entire system can either be installed with copies,
204: or copy-if-different using a single knob. [-c]
1.4 niklas 205:
1.8 deraadt 206: Additionally, the following variables may be set by bsd.own.mk or in a
207: make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
208: process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
209: bsd.own.mk):
1.23 espie 210:
1.4 niklas 211: SKEY Compile in support for S/key authentication. [yes, set
212: unconditionally]
213:
214: SYS_INCLUDE Copy or symlink kernel include files into /usr/include.
215: Possible values are "symlinks" or "copies" (which is
216: the same as the variable being unset).
1.1 deraadt 217:
1.28 brad 218: NOPROFILE Do not build profiled versions of system libraries.
1.1 deraadt 219:
1.4 niklas 220: NOPIC Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
1.28 brad 221: do not build shared libraries.
1.48 pascal 222:
223: NOPIE Do not build PIE objects or executables.
1.1 deraadt 224:
1.22 niklas 225: DEBUG Add -g to assembly, C compiler and linking passes. Also
226: doesn't set STRIP to -s per default if defined.
227:
228: DEBUGLIBS Create libraries with -g debug information, and install
229: them in /usr/lib/debug.
1.27 espie 230:
231: WARNINGS Adds appropriate warning flags (defined in CDIAGFLAGS,
232: e.g., -Wall...) to compiles. [no]
1.19 millert 233:
234: SUDO Command to run when doing "make install" portion of
235: "make build". If set to sudo, this allows one to run
236: "make build" as a user other than root (assuming sudo
237: is setup for that user).
238:
239: PIPE If set to "-pipe" gcc will be given the -pipe option
240: which can speed up compiles on machines with memory
241: to spare. Instead of using temp files, gcc uses pipes
242: for the temporary data.
1.20 kstailey 243:
244: GLOBAL_AUTOCONF_CACHE
245: Set to the name of a file that all cached GNU autoconf
246: test results will be saved in. Reduces redundant tests.
1.23 espie 247: Be careful! Redundant tests may not be redundant if you
248: are installing substantially updated gnu programs.
1.1 deraadt 249:
1.8 deraadt 250: bsd.own.mk is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
1.1 deraadt 251: they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
252:
253: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
254:
255: The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
256: more source files, along with their manual pages. It has a limited number
257: of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
258:
1.58 schwarze 259: It has seven targets:
1.1 deraadt 260:
261: all:
262: build the program and its manual page
263: clean:
264: remove the program, any object files and the files a.out,
265: Errs, errs, mklog, and core.
266: cleandir:
267: remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
268: well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
269: depend:
270: make the dependencies for the source files, and store
271: them in the file .depend.
1.8 deraadt 272: includes:
273: install any header files.
1.1 deraadt 274: install:
275: install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
276: does not itself define the target install, the targets
277: beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
278: actions immediately before and after the install target
279: is executed.
280: tags:
281: create a tags file for the source files.
282:
283: It sets/uses the following variables:
284:
285: BINGRP Binary group.
286:
287: BINOWN Binary owner.
288:
289: BINMODE Binary mode.
290:
291: CLEANFILES Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets.
292:
293: COPTS Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
294:
295: LDADD Additional loader objects. Usually used for libraries.
1.53 deraadt 296: For example, to load with the crypto and utility
1.1 deraadt 297: libraries, use:
298:
1.53 deraadt 299: LDADD+=-lutil -lcrypto
1.1 deraadt 300:
301: LDFLAGS Additional loader flags.
302:
303: LINKS The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
304: linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
305: file. The files are hard-linked. For example, to link
306: /bin/test and /bin/[, use:
307:
308: LINKS= ${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[
309:
1.4 niklas 310: MAN Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9). If no MAN variable is
1.1 deraadt 311: defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
312:
313: PROG The name of the program to build. If not supplied, nothing
314: is built.
315:
1.6 mickey 316: SRCS List of source files to build the program. If it's not
1.1 deraadt 317: defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c.
318:
319: DPADD Additional dependencies for the program. Usually used for
1.53 deraadt 320: libraries. For example, to depend on the crypto and
1.1 deraadt 321: utility libraries use:
322:
1.53 deraadt 323: DPADD+=${LIBCRYPTO} ${LIBUTIL}
1.1 deraadt 324:

362: to be stripped.
363:
364: SUBDIR A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
365: Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
366: subdirectories.
367:
368: The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
369: if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
370:

382:
383: If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
384:
385: NOMAN= noman
386:
387: If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
388:

1.58 schwarze 394: subdirectories. It has the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all,
1.47 jsg 395: clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, and tags. For all of
1.41 jmc 396: the directories listed in the variable SUBDIR, the specified directory
1.8 deraadt 397: will be visited and the target made. There is also a default target which
398: allows the command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in
1.41 jmc 399: the variable SUBDIR.

403: The include file <bsd.sys.mk> is used by <bsd.prog.mk> and
1.3 deraadt 404: <bsd.lib.mk>. It contains overrides that are used when building
1.14 millert 405: the OpenBSD source tree. For instance, if "PARALLEL" is defined by
1.3 deraadt 406: the program/library Makefile, it includes a set of rules for lex and
407: yacc that allow multiple lex and yacc targets to be built in parallel.
1.1 deraadt 408:

1.52 guenther 444:
445: In addition, a reduced version of a library, including just specific
446: objects that are compiled with additional options to reduce their
447: size may be built. This is used by the distrib/ tree and crunchgen
448: when building ramdisks. This sets/uses the following variables:
449:
450: DIST_LIB The path of the library to build. [lib${LIB}_d.a]
