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.It Cm update
70Gets updated sources as configured in
71.Pa /etc/make.conf .
72.El
73.Pp
74The other
75.Pa /usr/src
76make targets are:
77.Bl -tag -width ".Cm reinstallkernel"
78.It Cm buildworld
79Rebuild everything but the kernel.
80.It Cm quickworld
81Same as
82.Cm buildworld ,
83but skip bootstrap, build and cross-build tool steps.
84This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full build of the
85world has been done with
86.Cm buildworld .
87.It Cm realquickworld
88Same as
89.Cm quickworld ,
90but also skip the depend step.
91.It Cm crossworld
92Just do the bootstrap, build and cross-build steps.
93.It Cm installworld
94Install everything built by
95.Cm buildworld .
96.It Cm world
97.Cm buildworld +
98.Cm installworld .
99.It Cm buildkernel
100Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
101.It Cm nativekernel
102Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules using native tools.
103.It Cm quickkernel
104Same as
105.Cm buildkernel ,
106but skip the depend step and do not clean out the
107obj modules.
108This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
109build of the kernel has been done with
110.Cm buildkernel .
111.It Cm installkernel
112Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
113.It Cm reinstallkernel
114Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
115.It Cm kernel
116.Cm buildkernel +
117.Cm installkernel .
118.It Cm preupgrade
119Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
120.Cm installworld .
121.Cm installworld
122will complain if they have not been done.
123.It Cm upgrade
124Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
125the version of
126.Dx
127just installed.
128.It Cm most
129Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
130.It Cm installmost
131Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
132.El
133.Sh ENVIRONMENT
134.Bl -tag -width ".Ev TARGET_ARCH"
135.It Ev TARGET_ARCH
136The target machine processor architecture.
137This is analogous to the
138.Dq Nm uname Fl p
139output.
140.\"Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
141.It Ev TARGET
142The target hardware platform.
143This is analogous to the
144.Dq Nm uname Fl m
145output.
146.\"This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.
147.It Ev NO_WERROR
148If defined, warnings will not cause the build to halt, even if the
149makefile says otherwise.
150.It Ev DESTDIR
151An existing directory to be the root of
152the hierarchy where the resulting binaries will be
153installed (the default is
154.Pa / ) .
155.It Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
156The directory hierarchy where the object files will be built (the default is
157.Pa /usr/obj ) .
158.It Ev __MAKE_CONF
159Used to override the path of
160.Xr make.conf 5
161(the default is
162.Pa /etc/make.conf ) .
163.It Ev KERNCONF
164The name of the kernel configuration file from which the kernel should
165be built (the default is
166.Li GENERIC ) .
167.It Ev KERNCONFDIR
168The directory where the kernel configuration files are kept (the default is
169.Pa /usr/src/sys/config ) .
170.El
171.Sh FILES
172.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile" -compact
173.It Pa /etc/make.conf
174.It Pa /etc/defaults/make.conf
175.It Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile
176.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile
177.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
178.El
179.Sh EXAMPLES
180The
181.Dq approved
182method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
183.Bd -literal -offset indent
184make buildworld
185make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
186make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
187make installworld
188make upgrade
189.Ed
190.Pp
191After running these commands a system reboot is required,
192otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt (such as
193.Xr ps 1 ,
194.Xr top 1 ,
195etc.) may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
196.Sh CAVEATS
197The build and install order in the
198.Sx EXAMPLES
199section enforces that the new kernel is installed before the new
200world.
201Sometimes it might be necessary to reboot the system between those two
202steps.
203In this case
204.Dq Nm make Cm installworld
205will tell you to do so.
