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.Em pkgsrc
47system.
48The file
49.Pa /usr/src/UPDATING
50gives specifics on how to obtain the tree for building packages while
51.Xr packages 7
52describes the variables and targets that are available.
53.Pp
54The
55.Xr make 1
56command is used in
57.Pa /usr/src
58to build and install the things in that directory.
59Issuing 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.
64With no target specified, the things in that directory are just built.
65The following list 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.
110This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
111build of the kernel has been done with
112.Cm buildkernel .
113.It Cm installkernel
114Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
115.It Cm reinstallkernel
116Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
117.It Cm kernel
118.Cm buildkernel +
119.Cm installkernel .
120.It Cm preupgrade
121Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
122.Cm installworld .
123.Cm installworld
124will complain if they have not been done.
125.It Cm upgrade
126Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
127the version of
128.Dx
129just installed.
130.It Cm most
131Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
132.It Cm installmost
133Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
134.El
135.Sh ENVIRONMENT
136.Bl -tag -width ".Va TARGET_ARCH"
137.It Va TARGET_ARCH
138The target machine processor architecture.
139This is analogous to the
140.Dq Nm uname Fl p
141output.
142.\"Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
143.It Va TARGET
144The target hardware platform.
145This is analogous to the
146.Dq Nm uname Fl m
147output.
148.\"This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.
149.It Va NO_WERROR
150If defined, warnings will not cause the build to halt, even if the
151makefile says otherwise.
152.It Va DESTDIR
153The directory hierarchy where the resulting binaries will be
154installed.
155.El
156.Sh FILES
157.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile" -compact
158.It Pa /etc/make.conf
159.It Pa /etc/defaults/make.conf
160.It Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile
161.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile
162.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
163.El
164.Sh EXAMPLES
165The
166.Dq approved
167method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
168.Bd -literal -offset indent
169make buildworld
170make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
171make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
172make installworld
173make upgrade
174.Ed
175.Pp
176.Dq FOO
177must be replaced with the name of the kernel configuration file from which
178the kernel should be built.
179Alternatively, the
180.Va KERNCONF
181variable in
182.Pa /etc/make.conf
183can be set to the name of the kernel to build;
184in this case the
185.Dq KERNCONF=FOO
186part of the
187.Cm buildkernel
188and
189.Cm installkernel
190commands can be omitted.
191.Pp
192After running these commands a system reboot is required,
193otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt
194(such as
195.Nm ps ,
196.Nm top ,
197etc)
198may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
199.Sh CAVEATS
200The build and install order in the
201.Sx EXAMPLES
202section enforces that the new kernel is installed before the new
203world.
204Sometimes it might be necessary to reboot the system between those two
205steps.
206In this case the
207.Cm installworld
208target will tell you so.
209.Pp
210Also note that you should
211.Em never
212run the
213.Cm upgrade
214target before having installed the new kernel and world because your
215system might (in the worst case) be rendered useless if you do so.
216This can happen because
217.Cm upgrade
218might remove something that the old system still needs for
219functioning correctly.
