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 do not clean out the obj modules.
130This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
131build of the kernel has been done with
132.Cm buildkernel .
133.It Cm realquickkernel
134Same as
135.Cm quickkernel ,
136but also skip the depend step.
137.It Cm installkernel
138Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
139.It Cm reinstallkernel
140Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
141.It Cm kernel
142.Cm buildkernel +
143.Cm installkernel .
144.It Cm preupgrade
145Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
146.Cm installworld .
147.Cm installworld
148will complain if they have not been done.
149.It Cm upgrade
150Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
151the version of
152.Dx
153just installed.
154.It Cm rescue
155Create a rescue initrd.
156.It Cm most
157Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
158.It Cm installmost
159Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
160.It Cm backupworld
161Manually archive binaries from installed world to location specified by
162.Ev WORLD_BACKUP .
163.It Cm backup-clean
164Delete archive created by
165.Cm backupworld .
166.It Cm backup-auto-clean
167Delete archive created automatically during
168.Cm installworld .
169.It Cm restoreworld
170Restore binaries from archive created by
171.Cm backupworld .
172.It Cm restoreworld-auto
173Restore binaries from archive created automatically during
174.Cm installworld .
175The archive location is specified by
176.Ev AUTO_BACKUP .

178.Sh ENVIRONMENT
179.Bl -tag -width ".Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX"
180.It Ev TARGET_ARCH , TARGET_PLATFORM
181The target machine processor architecture and hardware platform.
182These have to be set for cross-building.
183.Ev TARGET_ARCH
184is analogous to the
185.Dq Nm uname Fl p
186output.
187For the 64 bit
188.Tn AMD
189architecture known as AMD64, x86-64 or Intel 64, use:
190.Bd -literal -offset indent
191TARGET_ARCH=x86_64
192TARGET_PLATFORM=pc64
193.Ed
194.It Ev DESTDIR
195An existing directory to be the root of
196the hierarchy where the resulting binaries will be
197installed (the default is
198.Pa / ) .
199.It Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
200The directory hierarchy where the object files will be built (the default is
201.Pa /usr/obj ) .
202.It Ev __MAKE_CONF
203Used to override the path of
204.Xr make.conf 5
205(the default is
206.Pa /etc/make.conf ) .
207.It Ev KERNCONF
208The name of one or more kernel configurations from which kernels should
209be built (the default is
210.Li X86_64_GENERIC ) .
211.It Ev KERNCONFDIR
212The directory where the kernel configuration files are kept (the default is
213.Pa /usr/src/sys/config ) .
214.It Ev DESTLABEL
215Common suffix added to kernel and modules directory names, prefixed by
216a single dot.  For example,
217.Bd -literal -offset indent
218make DESTLABEL=test installkernel
219.Ed
220.Pp
221installs them as
222.Pa /boot/kernel.test/kernel
223and
224.Pa /boot/kernel.test ,
225respectively.
226.It Ev DESTKERNDIR
227Where to install the kernel and the modules (the default is
228.Pa /boot ) ,
229in the directory hierarchy specified by the environment variable
230.Ev DESTDIR .
231.It Ev DESTKERNNAME
232The name of the installed kernel file (the default is
233.Pa kernel ) ,
234under the directory specified by
235.Ev DESTKERNDIR .
236This overrides the effect of
237.Ev DESTLABEL .
238.It Ev DESTMODULESNAME
239The name of the directory to install the kernel modules (the default is
240.Pa modules ) ,
241under the directory specified by
242.Ev DESTKERNDIR .
243This overrides the effect of
244.Ev DESTLABEL .
245.It Ev WORLD_BACKUP
246Directory for manual backup of binaries of installed world (default:
247.Pa /var/backups/world_backup ) .
248.It Ev AUTO_BACKUP
249Directory for automatic backup of binaries of installed world (default:
250.Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX Ns /world_binaries/ Ns Ev DESTDIR ) .
251.It Ev NO_BACKUP
252When defined, the automatic backup feature of
253.Cm installworld
254is inhibited.
255.It Ev COPTFLAGS
256Overrides the default optimization flags for kernel and module compiles.
257.It Ev KCFLAGS
258Allows you to add additional compiler flags for kernel and module compiles.
259But use
260.Ev COPTFLAGS
261to specify any optimization overrides, as some modules may have to override
262it to enforce a lower optimization level.
263.El
264.Sh FILES
265.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/src/Makefile_upgrade.inc" -compact
266.It Pa /etc/make.conf
267.It Pa /etc/defaults/make.conf
268.It Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile
269.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile
270.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
271.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile_upgrade.inc
272.El
273.Sh EXAMPLES
274The
275.Dq approved
276method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
277.Bd -literal -offset indent
278make buildworld
279make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
280make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
281make installworld
282make upgrade
283.Ed
284.Pp
285After running these commands a system reboot is required,
286otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt (such as
287.Xr ps 1 ,
288.Xr top 1 ,
289etc.) may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
290.Sh CAVEATS
291The build and install order in the
292.Sx EXAMPLES
293section enforces that the new kernel is installed before the new
294world.
295Sometimes it might be necessary to reboot the system between those two
296steps.
297In this case
298.Dq Nm make Cm installworld
299will tell you to do so.
