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.  This is normally set to the
75predefined STD_INCOPT variable.
76.It Va <version>_INCOPTCXX
77The include flags passed to the invocation of every version of c++
78compiler.  This is normally set to either the DPORT_GCC_STD_INCOPTXX or
79DPORT_CLANG_STD_INCOPTXX predefined variables.
80.El
81.Pp
82These variables are optionally available:
83.Bl -tag -width ".Va <version>_INCOPTCXX"
84.It Va <version>_GCC
85The pathname of the
86.Nm gcc
87compiler.
88.It Va <version>_GXX
89The pathname of the
90.Nm g++
91compiler.
92.It Va <version>_GCOV
93The pathname of the
94.Nm gcov
95coverage testing tool.
96.\"
97.\" Uncomment the following after clang is brought into base
98.\".It Va <version>_CLANG
99.\"The pathname of the

102.\".It Va <version>_CLANGCXX
103.\"The pathname of the

107.\"The pathname of the

110.\"
111.It Va <version>_CFLAGS
112Additional flags to pass to the c compilers.
113.It Va <version>_CXXFLAGS
114Additional flags to pass to the c++ compilers.
115.It Va <version>_CPPFLAGS
116Additional flags to pass to the pre-processors.
117.El
118.Pp
119Currently, defaults are provided for the
120.Xr dports 7
121compilers of
122.Nm clang35
123.Pa ( lang/clang35 ) ,
124.Nm gcc48
125.Pa ( lang/gcc48 ) ,
126.Nm gcc49
127.Pa ( lang/gcc49 ) ,
128and
129.Nm gcc5
130.Pa ( lang/gcc5 ) .
131.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
132In
133.Dx ,
134compilers are selected by setting the
135.Ev CCVER
136variable.
137The
138.Pa cpp ,
139.Pa cc ,
140etc\&. programs in
141.Pa /usr/bin
142are actually links to the
143.Xr objformat 1
144deflector program which is responsible for executing the
145correct programs (located in
146.Pa /usr/libexec/$CCVER ) .
147.Pp
148Traditionally,
149.Dx
150has 2 compilers in base, one of which is the default compiler and the other
151is either a newer or older version.
152In order to allow additional non-base compilers into
153.Dx Ap s
154build process,
155.Xr objformat 1
156deflects to
157.Pa /usr/libexec/custom
158when
159.Ev CCVER Ap s
160setting is not one of the compilers in base.
161This directory contains a
162.Pa cc
163wrapper script (and some links to it).
164The wrapper script then takes care of making the compiler look and behave
165like a compiler in base.
166.Pp
167The settings in
168.Nm
169specify paths and flags for the
170.Pa /usr/libexec/custom/cc
171script.
172.Sh FILES
173.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/compilers.conf" -compact
174.It Pa /etc/compilers.conf
175external compiler configuration file
176.El
177.Sh EXAMPLES
178Once configured the compiler can be used like this:
179.Bd -literal -offset indent
180env CCVER=<version> make
181.Ed
182.Pp
183To try building world and kernel, use:
184.Bd -literal -offset indent
185cd /usr/src
186env WORLD_CCVER=<version> make buildworld
187env WORLD_CCVER=<version> make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYCONF
