33.Dt COMPILERS.CONF 5
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm compilers.conf
37.Nd configuration file for external compilers
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Pa /etc/compilers.conf
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43file allows to configure
44.Dq external
45compilers for usage with the
46.Dx
47.Xr build 7
48system.
49.Pp
50The
51.Pa /etc/defaults/compilers.conf
52file specifies the default settings for all variables, the
53.Pa /etc/compilers.conf
54file specifies override settings.
55.Pp
56The following variable definitions are mandatory:
57.Bl -tag -width ".Va <version>_INCOPTCXX"
58.It Va <version>_CC
59The pathname of the
60.Nm cc
61compiler.
62.It Va <version>_CXX
63The pathname of the
64.Nm c++
65and
66.Nm CC
67compilers.
68.It Va <version>_CPP
69The pathname of the
70.Nm cpp
71pre-processor.
72.It Va <version>_INCOPT
73The include flags passed to the invocation of every version of c compiler,
74c++ compiler, and pre-processor program.
75This is normally set to the
76predefined STD_INCOPT variable.
77.It Va <version>_INCOPTCXX
78The include flags passed to the invocation of every version of c++
79compiler.
80This is normally set to either the DPORT_GCC_STD_INCOPTXX or
81DPORT_CLANG_STD_INCOPTXX predefined variables.
82.El
83.Pp
84These variables are optionally available:
85.Bl -tag -width ".Va <version>_INCOPTCXX"
86.It Va <version>_GCC
87The pathname of the
88.Nm gcc
89compiler.
90.It Va <version>_GXX
91The pathname of the
92.Nm g++
93compiler.
94.It Va <version>_GCOV
95The pathname of the
96.Nm gcov
97coverage testing tool.
98.\"
99.\" Uncomment the following after clang is brought into base
100.\".It Va <version>_CLANG

113.It Va <version>_CFLAGS
114Additional flags to pass to the c compilers.
115.It Va <version>_CXXFLAGS
116Additional flags to pass to the c++ compilers.
117.It Va <version>_CPPFLAGS
118Additional flags to pass to the pre-processors.
119.El
120.Pp
121Currently, defaults are provided for the
122.Xr dports 7
123compilers of
124.Nm clang10
125.Pa ( devel/clang10 ) .
126.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
127In
128.Dx ,
129compilers are selected by setting the
130.Ev CCVER
131variable.
132The
133.Pa cpp ,
134.Pa cc ,
135etc\&. programs in
136.Pa /usr/bin
137are actually links to the
138.Xr objformat 1
139deflector program which is responsible for executing the
140correct programs (located in
141.Pa /usr/libexec/$CCVER ) .
142.Pp
143Traditionally,
144.Dx
145has 2 compilers in base, one of which is the default compiler and the other
146is either a newer or older version.
147In order to allow additional non-base compilers into
148.Dx Ap s
149build process,
150.Xr objformat 1
151deflects to
152.Pa /usr/libexec/custom
153when
154.Ev CCVER Ap s
155setting is not one of the compilers in base.
156This directory contains a
157.Pa cc
158wrapper script (and some links to it).
159The wrapper script then takes care of making the compiler look and behave
160like a compiler in base.
161.Pp
162The settings in
163.Nm
164specify paths and flags for the
165.Pa /usr/libexec/custom/cc
166script.
167.Sh FILES
168.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/compilers.conf" -compact

171.El
172.Sh EXAMPLES
173Once configured the compiler can be used like this:
174.Bd -literal -offset indent
175env CCVER=<version> make
176.Ed
177.Pp
178To try building world and kernel, use:
179.Bd -literal -offset indent
180cd /usr/src
181env WORLD_CCVER=<version> make buildworld
182env WORLD_CCVER=<version> make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYCONF
