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