28.Dt BUILD 7
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm build
32.Nd information on how to build the system
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The source for the
35.Dx
36system and applications is located in
37.Pa /usr/src .
38This directory contains the
39.Dq "base system"
40sources, which is loosely defined as the things required to rebuild
41the system to a useful state.
42It also contains the source for the system documentation, including
43manual pages.
44Refer to
45.Xr development 7
46for more information on how to obtain the
47.Dx
48sources.
49.Pp
50Third party applications have to be built using the
51.Xr dports 7
52system.
53The file
54.Pa /usr/Makefile
55has targets for obtaining the dports tree.
56Typing
57.Li make
58in
59.Pa /usr
60gives specifics on how to obtain the tree for building packages.
61.Pp
62The
63.Xr make 1
64command is used in
65.Pa /usr/src
66to build and install the things in that directory.
67Issuing the
68.Xr make 1
69command in any directory or
70subdirectory of those directories has the same effect as issuing the
71same command in all subdirectories of that directory.
72With no target specified, the things in that directory are just built.
73The following list provides the names and actions for other targets:
74.Bl -tag -width ".Cm install"
75.It Cm clean
76Removes any files created during the build process.
77.It Cm install
78Installs the results of the build for this directory.
79.El
80.Pp
81The other
82.Pa /usr/src
83make targets are:
84.Bl -tag -width ".Cm installworld-force"
85.It Cm buildworld
86Rebuild everything but the kernel.
87.It Cm quickworld
88Same as
89.Cm buildworld ,
90but skip bootstrap, build and cross-build tool steps.
91This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full build of the
92world has been done with
93.Cm buildworld .
94.It Cm realquickworld
95Same as
96.Cm quickworld ,
97but also skip the depend step.
98.It Cm crossworld
99Just do the bootstrap, build and cross-build steps.
100.It Cm installworld
101Install everything built by
102.Cm buildworld .
103.It Cm installworld-force
104Force an
105.Cm installworld .
106This will install to a temporary directory, then copy the main binaries
107and libraries with a static
108.Xr cpdup 1
109to
110.Ev DESTDIR
111and finally will issue a normal
112.Cm installworld
113and
114.Cm upgrade .
115It is a special case to be used on older systems as a last resort when
116the normal
117.Cm installworld
118doesn't work.
119.It Cm world
120.Cm buildworld +
121.Cm installworld .
122.It Cm buildkernel
123Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
124.It Cm nativekernel
125Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules using native tools.
126.It Cm quickkernel
127Same as
128.Cm buildkernel ,
129but skip the depend step and do not clean out the
130obj modules.
131This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
132build of the kernel has been done with
133.Cm buildkernel .
134.It Cm installkernel
135Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
136.It Cm reinstallkernel
137Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
138.It Cm kernel
139.Cm buildkernel +
140.Cm installkernel .
141.It Cm preupgrade
142Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
143.Cm installworld .
144.Cm installworld
145will complain if they have not been done.
146.It Cm upgrade
147Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
148the version of
149.Dx
150just installed.
151.It Cm rescue
152Create a rescue initrd.
153.It Cm most
154Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
155.It Cm installmost
156Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
157.It Cm backupworld
158Manually archive binaries from installed world to location specified by
159.Ev WORLD_BACKUP .
160.It Cm backup-clean
161Delete archive created by
162.Cm backupworld .
163.It Cm backup-auto-clean
164Delete archive created automatically during
165.Cm installworld .
166.It Cm restoreworld
167Restore binaries from archive created by
168.Cm backupworld .
169.It Cm restoreworld-auto
170Restore binaries from archive created automatically during
171.Cm installworld .
172The archive location is specified by
173.Ev AUTO_BACKUP .
174.El
175.Sh ENVIRONMENT
176.Bl -tag -width ".Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX"

216.It Ev KERNCONFDIR
217The directory where the kernel configuration files are kept (the default is
218.Pa /usr/src/sys/config ) .
219.It Ev DESTLABEL
220Common suffix added to kernel and modules directory names, prefixed by
221a single dot.  For example,
222.Bd -literal -offset indent
223make DESTLABEL=test installkernel
224.Ed
225.Pp
226installs them as
227.Pa /boot/kernel.test/kernel
228and
229.Pa /boot/kernel.test ,
230respectively.
231.It Ev DESTKERNDIR

239under the directory specified by
240.Ev DESTKERNDIR .
241This overrides the effect of
242.Ev DESTLABEL .
243.It Ev DESTMODULESNAME
244The name of the directory to install the kernel modules (the default is
245.Pa modules ) ,
246under the directory specified by

258.Cm installworld
259is inhibited.

269.El
270.Sh EXAMPLES
271The
272.Dq approved
273method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
274.Bd -literal -offset indent
275make buildworld
276make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
277make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
278make installworld
279make upgrade
280.Ed
281.Pp
282After running these commands a system reboot is required,
283otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt (such as
284.Xr ps 1 ,
285.Xr top 1 ,
286etc.) may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
287.Sh CAVEATS
288The build and install order in the
289.Sx EXAMPLES
290section enforces that the new kernel is installed before the new
291world.
292Sometimes it might be necessary to reboot the system between those two
293steps.
294In this case
295.Dq Nm make Cm installworld
296will tell you to do so.
