# @(#)bsd.README 8.2 (Berkeley) 4/2/94
# $FreeBSD$
This is the README file for the "include" files for the FreeBSD
source tree. The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are by
convention, named with the suffix ".mk". These files store several
build options and should be handled with caution.
Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk
files for anything tricky.
There are two main types of make include files. One type is the generally
usable make include files, such as bsd.prog.mk and bsd.lib.mk. The other is
the internal make include files, such as bsd.files.mk and bsd.man.mk, which
can not/should not be used directly but are used by the other make include
files. In most cases it is only interesting to include bsd.prog.mk or
bsd.lib.mk.
bsd.arch.inc.mk - includes arch-specific Makefile.$arch
bsd.compiler.mk - defined based on current compiler
bsd.confs.mk - install of configuration files
bsd.cpu.mk - sets CPU/arch-related variables (included from sys.mk)
bsd.crunchgen.mk - building crunched binaries using crunchgen(1)
bsd.dep.mk - handle Makefile dependencies
bsd.doc.mk - building troff system documents
bsd.endian.mk - TARGET_ENDIAN=1234(little) or 4321 (big) for target
bsd.files.mk - install of general purpose files
bsd.incs.mk - install of include files
bsd.info.mk - building GNU Info hypertext system (deprecated)
bsd.init.mk - initialization for the make include files
bsd.kmod.mk - building loadable kernel modules
bsd.lib.mk - support for building libraries
bsd.libnames.mk - define library names
bsd.links.mk - install of links (sym/hard)
bsd.man.mk - install of manual pages and their links
bsd.nls.mk - build and install of NLS catalogs
bsd.obj.mk - creating 'obj' directories and cleaning up
bsd.own.mk - define common variables
bsd.port.mk - building ports
bsd.port.post.mk - building ports
bsd.port.pre.mk - building ports
bsd.port.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories for ports
bsd.prog.mk - building programs from source files
bsd.progs.mk - build multiple programs from sources
bsd.snmpmod.mk - building modules for the SNMP daemon bsnmpd
bsd.subdir.mk - targets for building subdirectories
bsd.sys.mk - common settings used for building FreeBSD sources
bsd.test.mk - building test programs from source files
sys.mk - default rules for all makes
This file does not document bsd.port*.mk. They are documented in ports(7).
See also make(1), mkdep(1), style.Makefile(5) and `PMake - A
Tutorial', located in /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make.

Random things worth knowing about this document:
If appropriate when documenting the variables the default value is
indicated using square brackets e.g. [gzip].
In some cases the default value depend on other values (e.g. system
architecture). In these cases the most common value is indicated.
This document contains some simple examples of the usage of the BSD make
include files. For more examples look at the makefiles in the FreeBSD
source tree.

RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
The files are like C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
you'd expect. The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile. The reason for
this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
values of variables set in the Makefile. To make this work, remember that
the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
a:
echo a
a:
echo a number two
the command "make a" will echo "a". To make things confusing, the SECOND
variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
a= foo
a= bar
b:
echo ${a}
the command "make b" will echo "bar". This is for compatibility with the
way the V7 make behaved.
It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier to split up
the programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from
making the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switch to a new
version of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle
multiple architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff.
(Imake doesn't count.)
The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
for the source files. This file is read automatically by make after reading
the Makefile.
The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change
the tree where the file gets installed.
The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
the regular libraries. A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
object.

The following variables are common:
ACFLAGS.${SRC}
Flags dependent on source file name.
CFLAGS.${SRC}
Flags dependent on source file name.
CFLAGS.${COMPILER_TYPE}
Flags dependent on compiler added to CXXFLAGS.
CFLAGS.${MACHINE_ARCH}
Architectural flags added to CFLAGS.
CFLAGS_NO_SIMD Add this to CFLAGS for programs that don't want any SIMD
instructions generated. It is setup in bsd.cpu.mk to an
appropriate value for the compiler and target.
CXXFLAGS.${COMPILER_TYPE}
Flags dependent on compiler added to CXXFLAGS.
CXXFLAGS.${MACHINE_ARCH}
Architectural flags added to CXXFLAGS.
CXXFLAGS.${SRC}
Flags dependent on source file name.
COMPILER_FEATURES
A list of features that the compiler supports. Zero or
more of:
c++11 Supports full C++ 11 standard.
COMPILER_TYPE Type of compiler, either clang or gcc, though other
values are possible. Don't assume != clang == gcc.
COMPILER_VERSION
A numeric constant equal to:
major * 10000 + minor * 100 + tiny
for the compiler's self-reported version.

The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
environment or otherwise. You probably don't want to touch this file.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.arch.inc.mk> includes other Makefiles for specific
architectures, if they exist. It will include the first of the following
files that it finds: Makefile.${MACHINE}, Makefile.${MACHINE_ARCH},
Makefile.${MACHINE_CPUARCH}
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
links.
It has three targets:
all-man:
build manual pages.
maninstall:
install the manual pages and their links.
manlint:
verify the validity of manual pages.
It sets/uses the following variables:
MANDIR Base path for manual installation.
MANGRP Manual group.
MANOWN Manual owner.
MANMODE Manual mode.
MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax"
or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
MLINKS List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix). The
linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
and there may be multiple pairs. The files are hard-linked.
The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
it exists.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains the owners, groups, etc. for both
manual pages and binaries.
It has no targets.
It sets/uses the following variables:
BINGRP Binary group.
BINOWN Binary owner.
BINMODE Binary mode.
MANDIR Base path for manual installation.
MANGRP Manual group.
MANOWN Manual owner.
MANMODE Manual mode.
This file is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
more source files, along with their manual pages. It has a limited number
of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
It has seven targets:
all:
build the program and its manual page
clean:
remove the program and any object files.
cleandir:
remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
depend:
make the dependencies for the source files, and store
them in the file .depend.
install:
install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
does not itself define the target install, the targets
beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
actions immediately before and after the install target
is executed.
lint:
run lint on the source files
tags:
create a tags file for the source files.
It sets/uses the following variables:
BINGRP Binary group.
BINOWN Binary owner.
BINMODE Binary mode.
CLEANFILES Additional files to remove and
CLEANDIRS additional directories to remove during clean and cleandir
targets. "rm -f" and "rm -rf" used respectively.
CFLAGS Flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
FILES A list of non-executable files.
The installation is controlled by the FILESNAME, FILESOWN,
FILESGRP, FILESMODE, FILESDIR variables that can be
further specialized by FILES<VAR>_<file>.
LDADD Additional loader objects. Usually used for libraries.
For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
libraries, use:
LDADD=-lutil -lcompat
LIBADD Additional libraries. This is for base system libraries
and is only valid inside of the /usr/src tree.
Rather than use LDADD=-lname use LIBADD=name.
LDFLAGS Additional loader flags. Passed to the loader via CC,
since that's used to link programs as well, so loader
specific flags need to be prefixed with -Wl, to work.
LINKS The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
file. The files are hard-linked. For example, to link
/bin/test and /bin/[, use:
LINKS= ${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[
MAN Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9). If no MAN variable
is defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
PROG The name of the program to build. If not supplied, nothing
is built.
PROG_CXX If defined, the name of the program to build. Also
causes <bsd.prog.mk> to link the program with the
standard C++ library. PROG_CXX overrides the value
of PROG if PROG is also set.
PROGS When used with <bsd.progs.mk>, allow building multiple
PROGS_CXX PROG and PROGS_CXX in one Makefile. To define
individual variables for each program the VAR.prog
syntax should be used. For example:
PROGS= foo bar
SRCS.foo= foo_src.c
LDADD.foo= -lutil
SRCS.bar= bar_src.c
The supported variables are:
- BINDIR
- BINGRP
- BINMODE
- BINOWN
- CFLAGS
- CXXFLAGS
- DEBUG_FLAGS
- DPADD
- DPSRCS
- LDADD
- LDFLAGS
- LIBADD
- LINKS
- MAN
- MLINKS
- NO_WERROR
- PROGNAME
- SRCS
- STRIP
- WARNS
PROGNAME The name that the above program will be installed as, if
different from ${PROG}.
SRCS List of source files to build the program. If SRCS is not
defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c or, if PROG_CXX is
defined, ${PROG_CXX}.cc.
DPADD Additional dependencies for the program. Usually used for
libraries. For example, to depend on the compatibility and
utility libraries use:
DPADD=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
There is a predefined identifier for each (non-profiled,
non-shared) library and object. Library file names are
transformed to identifiers by removing the extension and
converting to upper case.
There are no special identifiers for profiled or shared
libraries or objects. The identifiers for the standard
libraries are used in DPADD. This works correctly iff all
the libraries are built at the same time. Unfortunately,
it causes unnecessary relinks to shared libraries when
only the static libraries have changed. Dependencies on
shared libraries should be only on the library version
numbers.
STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
to be stripped. This is to be used when building your
own install script so that the entire system can be made
stripped/not-stripped using a single nob.
SUBDIR A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
subdirectories.
SCRIPTS A list of interpreter scripts [file.{sh,csh,pl,awk,...}].
The installation is controlled by the SCRIPTSNAME, SCRIPTSOWN,
SCRIPTSGRP, SCRIPTSMODE, SCRIPTSDIR variables that can be
further specialized by SCRIPTS<VAR>_<script>.
The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
Some simple examples:
To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use:
PROG= foo
.include <bsd.prog.mk>
To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line:
MAN= foo.2
If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
MAN=
If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
SRCS= a.c b.c c.c d.c
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
subdirectories. It has the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean,
cleandir, depend, install, lint, and tags. For all of the directories
listed in the variable SUBDIRS, the specified directory will be visited
and the target made. There is also a default target which allows the
command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in the variable
SUBDIRS.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries. It has
the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend,
install, lint, and tags. It has a limited number of suffixes, consistent
with the current needs of the BSD tree.
It sets/uses the following variables:
LIB The name of the library to build. Both a shared and static
library will be built. NO_PIC can be set to only build a
static library.
LIB_CXX The name of the library to build. It also causes
<bsd.lib.mk> to link the library with the
standard C++ library. LIB_CXX overrides the value
of LIB if LIB is also set. Both a shared and static library
will be built. NO_PIC can be set to only build a static
library.
LIBDIR Target directory for libraries.
LINTLIBDIR Target directory for lint libraries.
LIBGRP Library group.
LIBOWN Library owner.
LIBMODE Library mode.
LDADD Additional loader objects.
LIBADD Additional libraries. This is for base system libraries
and is only valid inside of the /usr/src tree.
Rather than use LDADD=-lname use LIBADD=name.
MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
SRCS List of source files to build the library. Suffix types
.s, .c, and .f are supported. Note, .s files are preferred
to .c files of the same name. (This is not the default for
versions of make.)
SHLIB Like LIB but only builds a shared library.
SHLIB_CXX Like LIB_CXX but only builds a shared library.
SHLIB_LDSCRIPT Template file to generate shared library linker script.
Unless used, a simple symlink is created to the real
shared object.
LIBRARIES_ONLY Do not build or install files other than the library.
The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
built by default.
Libraries are ranlib'd before installation.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The include file <bsd.test.mk> handles building one or more test programs
intended to be used in the FreeBSD Test Suite under /usr/tests/.
It has seven targets:
all:
build the test programs.
check:
runs the test programs from CHECKDIR with kyua test.
The beforecheck and aftercheck targets will be invoked, if
defined, to execute commands before and after the realcheck
target has been executed, respectively.
The devel/kyua package must be installed before invoking this
target.
See CHECKDIR for more details.
clean:
remove the test programs and any object files.
cleandir:
remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
well as .depend and tags.
depend:
make the dependencies for the source files, and store
them in the file .depend.
install:
install the test programs and their data files; if the
Makefile does not itself define the target install, the
targets beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used
to cause actions immediately before and after the
install target is executed.
lint:
run lint on the source files.
tags:
create a tags file for the source files.
It sets/uses the following variables, among many others:
TESTSBASE Installation prefix for tests. Defaults to /usr/tests
TESTSDIR Path to the installed tests. Must be a subdirectory of
TESTSBASE and the subpath should match the relative
location of the tests within the src tree.
The value of TESTSDIR defaults to
${TESTSBASE}/${RELDIR:H} , e.g. /usr/tests/bin/ls when
included from bin/ls/tests .
CHECKDIR The directory that 'make check' executes tests from.
The value of CHECKDIR defaults to .OBJDIR.
KYUAFILE If 'auto' (the default), generate a Kyuafile out of the
test programs defined in the Makefile. If 'yes', then a
manually-crafted Kyuafile must be supplied with the
sources. If 'no', no Kyuafile is installed (useful for
subdirectories providing helper programs or data files
only).
LOCALBASE The --prefix for the kyua package.
The value of LOCALBASE defaults to /usr/local .
ATF_TESTS_C The names of the ATF C test programs to build.
ATF_TESTS_CXX The names of the ATF C++ test programs to build.
ATF_TESTS_SH The names of the ATF sh test programs to build.
PLAIN_TESTS_C The names of the plain (legacy) programs to build.
PLAIN_TESTS_CXX The names of the plain (legacy) test programs to build.
PLAIN_TESTS_SH The names of the plain (legacy) test programs to build.
TAP_PERL_INTERPRETER
Path to the Perl interpreter to be used for
TAP-compliant test programs that are written in Perl.
Refer to TAP_TESTS_PERL for details.
TAP_TESTS_C The names of the TAP-compliant C test programs to build.
TAP_TESTS_CXX The names of the TAP-compliant C++ test programs to
build.
TAP_TESTS_PERL The names of the TAP-compliant Perl test programs to
build. The corresponding source files should end with
the .pl extension; the test program is marked as
requiring Perl; and TAP_PERL_INTERPRETER is used in the
built scripts as the interpreter of choice.
TAP_TESTS_SH The names of the TAP-compliant sh test programs to
build.
TESTS_SUBDIRS List of subdirectories containing tests into which to
recurse. Differs from SUBDIR in that these directories
get registered into the automatically-generated
Kyuafile (if any).
NOT_FOR_TEST_SUITE
If defined, none of the built test programs get
installed under /usr/tests/ and no Kyuafile is
automatically generated. Should not be used within the
FreeBSD source tree but is provided for the benefit of
third-parties.
The actual building of the test programs is performed by <bsd.prog.mk>.
Please see the documentation above for this other file for additional
details on the behavior of <bsd.test.mk>.
