29.Dt BUILD 7
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm build
33.Nd information on how to build the system
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The source for the
36.Dx
37system and applications is located in
38.Pa /usr/src .
39This directory contains the
40.Dq "base system"
41sources, which is loosely defined as the things required to rebuild
42the system to a useful state.
43It also contains the source for the system documentation, including
44manual pages.
45Third party applications have to be built using the
46.Xr pkgsrc 7
47system.
48The file
49.Pa /usr/src/UPDATING
50gives specifics on how to obtain the tree for building packages.
51.Pp
52The
53.Xr make 1
54command is used in
55.Pa /usr/src
56to build and install the things in that directory.
57Issuing the
58.Xr make 1
59command in any directory or
60subdirectory of those directories has the same effect as issuing the
61same command in all subdirectories of that directory.
62With no target specified, the things in that directory are just built.
63The following list provides the names and actions for other targets:
64.Bl -tag -width ".Cm install"
65.It Cm clean
66Removes any files created during the build process.
67.It Cm install
68Installs the results of the build for this directory.
69.El
70.Pp
71The other
72.Pa /usr/src
73make targets are:
74.Bl -tag -width ".Cm reinstallkernel"
75.It Cm buildworld
76Rebuild everything but the kernel.
77.It Cm quickworld
78Same as
79.Cm buildworld ,
80but skip bootstrap, build and cross-build tool steps.
81This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full build of the
82world has been done with
83.Cm buildworld .
84.It Cm realquickworld
85Same as
86.Cm quickworld ,
87but also skip the depend step.
88.It Cm crossworld
89Just do the bootstrap, build and cross-build steps.
90.It Cm installworld
91Install everything built by
92.Cm buildworld .
93.It Cm world
94.Cm buildworld +
95.Cm installworld .
96.It Cm buildkernel
97Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
98.It Cm nativekernel
99Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules using native tools.
100.It Cm quickkernel
101Same as
102.Cm buildkernel ,
103but skip the depend step and do not clean out the
104obj modules.
105This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
106build of the kernel has been done with
107.Cm buildkernel .
108.It Cm installkernel
109Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
110.It Cm reinstallkernel
111Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
112.It Cm kernel
113.Cm buildkernel +
114.Cm installkernel .
115.It Cm preupgrade
116Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
117.Cm installworld .
118.Cm installworld
119will complain if they have not been done.
120.It Cm upgrade
121Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
122the version of
123.Dx
124just installed.
125.It Cm most
126Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
127.It Cm installmost
128Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
129.El
130.Sh ENVIRONMENT
131.Bl -tag -width ".Ev TARGET_ARCH"
132.It Ev TARGET_ARCH
133The target machine processor architecture.
134This is analogous to the
135.Dq Nm uname Fl p
136output.
137.\"Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
138.It Ev TARGET
139The target hardware platform.
140This is analogous to the
141.Dq Nm uname Fl m
142output.
143.\"This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.
144.\".It Ev NO_WERROR
145.\"If defined, warnings will not cause the build to halt, even if the
146.\"makefile says otherwise.
147.It Ev DESTDIR
148An existing directory to be the root of
149the hierarchy where the resulting binaries will be
150installed (the default is
151.Pa / ) .
152.It Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
153The directory hierarchy where the object files will be built (the default is
154.Pa /usr/obj ) .
155.It Ev __MAKE_CONF
156Used to override the path of
157.Xr make.conf 5
158(the default is
159.Pa /etc/make.conf ) .
160.It Ev KERNCONF
161The name of the kernel configuration file from which the kernel should
162be built (the default is
163.Li GENERIC ) .
164.It Ev KERNCONFDIR
165The directory where the kernel configuration files are kept (the default is
166.Pa /usr/src/sys/config ) .
167.El
168.Sh FILES
169.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile" -compact
170.It Pa /etc/make.conf
171.It Pa /etc/defaults/make.conf
172.It Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile
173.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile
174.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
175.El
176.Sh EXAMPLES
177The
178.Dq approved
179method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
180.Bd -literal -offset indent
181make buildworld
182make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
183make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
184make installworld
185make upgrade
186.Ed
187.Pp
188After running these commands a system reboot is required,
189otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt (such as
190.Xr ps 1 ,
191.Xr top 1 ,
192etc.) may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
193.Sh CAVEATS
194The build and install order in the
195.Sx EXAMPLES
196section enforces that the new kernel is installed before the new
197world.
198Sometimes it might be necessary to reboot the system between those two
199steps.
200In this case
201.Dq Nm make Cm installworld
202will tell you to do so.
