The file .Nm is generally created by the system administrator when the values need to be changed from their defaults. .Pp The purpose of .Nm is not to run commands or perform compilation actions directly. Instead, it is included by the various makefiles in .Pa /usr/src , .Pa /usr/ports and .Pa /usr/doc which conditionalize their internal actions according to the settings found there. .Pp The .Pa /etc/make.conf file is included from the appropriate .Pa Makefile which specifies the default settings for all the available options. Options need only be specified in .Pa /etc/make.conf when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults. .Pp The build procedures occur in four broad areas: the world, the kernel, documentations and ports. Variables set in .Nm may be applicable during builds in one, two, or all four of these areas. They may be specified for a particular build via the .Fl D option of .Xr make 1 . .Pp The following lists provide a name and short description for each variable you can use during the indicated builds. The values of variables flagged as .Vt bool are ignored; the variable being set at all (even to .Dq Li FALSE or .Dq Li NO ) causes it to be treated as if it were set. .Pp The following list provides a name and short description for variables that are used for all builds, or are used by the .Pa makefiles for things other than builds. .Bl -tag -width Ar .It Va CFLAGS .Pq Vt str Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code. Optimization levels above .Fl O .Pq Fl O2 , No ... are not supported. .Va BDECFLAGS is provided as a set of .Xr gcc 1 settings suggested by .An "Bruce Evans" Aq bde@FreeBSD.org for developing and testing changes. They can be used, if set, by: .Pp .Bd -literal -offset indent CFLAGS+=${BDECFLAGS} .Ed .It Va CPUTYPE .Pq Vt str Controls which processor should be targeted for generated code. This controls processor-specific optimizations in certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying the value of .Va CFLAGS and .Va COPTFLAGS to contain the appropriate optimization directive to .Xr gcc 1 . The automatic setting of .Va CFLAGS and .Va COPTFLAGS may be overridden using the .Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS and .Va NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS variables, respectively. Refer to .Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for a list of recognized .Va CPUTYPE options. .It Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS .Pq Vt str Setting this variable will prevent CPU specific compiler flags from being automatically added to .Va CFLAGS during compile time. .It Va NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS .Pq Vt str Setting this variable will prevent CPU specific compiler flags from being automatically added to .Va COPTFLAGS during compile time. .It Va CVS_UPDATE .Pq Vt bool Set this to use .Xr cvs 1 to update your ports with .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va CXXFLAGS .Pq Vt str Controls the compiler settings when compiling C++ code. .Va CXXFLAGS is initially set to the value of .Va CFLAGS . If you want to add to the .Va CXXFLAGS value, use .Dq Li += instead of .Dq Li = . .It Va INSTALL .Pq Vt str the default install command. To have commands compared before doing the install, use .Bd -literal -offset indent INSTALL="install -C" .Ed .It Va LOCAL_DIRS .Pq Vt str List any directories that should be entered when doing make's in .Pa /usr/src in this variable. .It Va MAKE_SHELL .Pq Vt str Controls the shell used internally by .Xr make 1 to process the command scripts in makefiles. .Xr sh 1 , .Xr ksh 1 , and .Xr csh 1 all currently supported. .Pp .Dl "MAKE_SHELL?=sh" .It Va MTREE_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS .Pq Vt str Set this to .Dq Fl L to cause .Xr mtree 8 to follow symlinks. .It Va NO_DOCUPDATE .Pq Vt bool Set this to not update the doc tree during .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va NO_PORTSUPDATE .Pq Vt bool Set this to not update the ports tree during .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va SUP_UPDATE .Pq Vt bool Set this to use .Xr cvsup 1 to update your ports with .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va SUP .Pq Vt str The location of the .Xr cvsup 1 command for .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va SUPFLAGS .Pq Vt str The flag for the .Xr sup 1 command when doing .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Op Fl g L Ar 2 . .It Va SUPHOST .Pq Vt str The hostname of the sup server to use when doing .Dq Li "make update" . .It Va SUPFILE .Pq Vt str The first .Ar supfile to use when doing a .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard\-supfile . .It Va SUPFILE1 .Pq Vt str The second .Ar supfile to use when doing a .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/secure\-supfile . .It Va SUPFILE2 .Pq Vt str The third .Ar supfile to use when doing a .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/secure\-supfile . .It Va PORTSSUPFILE .Pq Vt str The ports .Ar supfile to use when doing a .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports\-supfile . .It Va DOCSUPFILE .Pq Vt str The documentation .Ar supfile to use when doing a .Dq Li "make update" . This defaults to .Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc\-supfile . .El .Pp The following list provides a name and short description for variables that are only used doing a kernel build: .Bl -tag -width Ar .It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT .Pq Vt str The port address to use for the console if the boot blocks have been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card. .It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED .Pq Vt int The baud rate to use for the console if the boot blocks have been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card. .It Va BOOTWAIT .Pq Vt int Controls the amount of time the kernel waits for a console keypress before booting the default kernel. The value is approximately milliseconds. Keypresses are accepted by the BIOS before booting from disk, making it possible to give custom boot parameters even when this is set to 0. .It Va COPTFLAGS .Pq Vt str Controls the compiler settings when building the kernel. Optimization levels above .Oo Fl O ( O2 , No ...\& ) Oc are not guaranteed to work. .It Va KERNCONF .Pq Vt str Controls which kernel configurations will be built by .Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel" and installed by .Dq Li "${MAKE} installkernel" . For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent KERNCONF=MINE DEBUG GENERIC OTHERMACHINE .Ed .Pp will build the kernels specified by the config files .Pa MINE , DEBUG , GENERIC , and .Pa OTHERMACHINE , and install the kernel specified by the config file .Pa MINE . It defaults to .Pa GENERIC . .It Va LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT .Pq Vt bool While not a buildkernel-affected option, there is no better place for this. By default the .Xr pxeboot 8 loader retrieves the kernel via NFS. Defining this and recompiling .Pa /usr/src/sys/boot will cause it to retrieve the kernel via TFTP. This allows .Xr pxeboot 8 to load a custom BOOTP diskless kernel yet still mount the server's .Pa / rather than load the server's kernel. .It Va MODULES_OVERRIDE .Pq Vt str Set to a list of modules to build instead of all of them. .It Va NO_KERNELCONFIG .Pq Vt bool Set this to skip running .Xr config 8 during .Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel" . .It Va NO_KERNELDEPEND .Pq Vt bool Set this to skip running .Dq Li "${MAKE} depend" during .Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel" . .It Va NO_MODULES .Pq Vt bool Set to not build modules with the kernel. .El .Pp The following list provides a name and short description for variables that are used during the world build: .Bl -tag -width Ar .It Va COMPAT1X .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 1 compatibility libraries. .It Va COMPAT20 .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 2.0 compatibility libraries. .It Va COMPAT21 .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 2.1 compatibility libraries. .It Va COMPAT22 .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 2.2 compatibility libraries. .It Va COMPAT3X .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 3 compatibility libraries. .It Va COMPAT4X .Pq Vt bool Set to install the .Fx 4 compatibility libraries. .It Va FETCH_CMD .Pq Vt str Command to use to fetch files. Normally .Xr fetch 1 . .It Va KRB5_HOME .Pq Vt str If you want to install the MIT Kerberos5 port somewhere other than .Pa /usr/local , define this. This is also used to tell ssh1 that Kerberos is needed. .It Va MAKE_IDEA .Pq Vt bool Set to build the IDEA encryption code. This code is patented in the USA and many European countries. It is .Em "YOUR RESPONSIBILITY" to determine if you can legally use IDEA. .It Va NO_KERBEROS .Pq Vt bool Set this if you do not want to build Kerberos 5 (KTH Heimdal). .It Va ENABLE_SUID_K5SU .Pq Vt bool Set this if you wish to use the ksu utility. Otherwise, it will be installed without the set-user-ID bit set. .It Va ENABLE_SUID_NEWGRP .Pq Vt bool Set this to install .Xr newgrp 1 with the set-user-ID bit set. Otherwise, .Xr newgrp 1 will not be able to change users' groups. .It Va ENABLE_SUID_SSH .Pq Vt bool Set this to install .Xr ssh 1 with the set-user-ID bit turned on. .It Va MODULES_WITH_WORLD .Pq Vt bool Set to build modules with the system instead of the kernel. .It Va NO_CVS .Pq Vt bool Set to not build CVS. .It Va NO_CXX .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Xr g++ 1 and related libraries. .It Va NO_BIND .Pq Vt bool Set to not build BIND. .It Va NO_FORTRAN .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Xr g77 1 and related libraries. .It Va NO_GDB .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Xr gdb 1 . .It Va NO_I4B .Pq Vt bool Set to not build isdn4bsd package. .It Va NO_IPFILTER .Pq Vt bool Set to not build IP Filter package. .It Va NO_LPR .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Xr lpr 1 and related programs. .It Va NO_MAILWRAPPER .Pq Vt bool Set to not build the .Xr mailwrapper 8 MTA selector. .It Va NOMAN .Pq Vt bool Set to not build manual pages. .It Va NO_OBJC .Pq Vt bool Set to not build Objective C support. .It Va NO_OPENSSH .Pq Vt bool Set to not build OpenSSH. .It Va NO_OPENSSL .Pq Vt bool Set to not build OpenSSL (implies .Va NO_KERBEROS and .Va NO_OPENSSH ) . .It Va NO_SENDMAIL .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Xr sendmail 8 and related programs. .It Va NO_SHAREDOCS .Pq Vt bool Set to not build the .Bx 4.4 legacy docs. .It Va NO_TCSH .Pq Vt bool Set to not build and install .Pa /bin/csh (which is .Xr tcsh 1 ) . .It Va NO_X .Pq Vt bool Set to not compile in X\-Windows support (e.g.\& .Xr doscmd 1 ) . .It Va NOCLEAN .Pq Vt bool Set this to disable cleaning during .Dq Li "make buildworld" . This should not be set unless you know what you are doing. .It Va NOCLEANDIR .Pq Vt bool Set this to run .Dq Li "${MAKE} clean" instead of .Dq Li "${MAKE} cleandir" . .It Va NOCRYPT .Pq Vt bool Set to not build any crypto code. .It Va NOGAMES .Pq Vt bool Set to not build games. .It Va NOINFO .Pq Vt bool Set to not make or install .Xr info 5 files. .It Va NOLIBC_R .Pq Vt bool Set to not build .Nm libc_r (reentrant version of .Nm libc ) . .It Va NOLIBPTHREAD .Pq Vt bool Set to not build the .Nm libpthread (M:N threading) library. .It Va NOLIBTHR .Pq Vt bool Set to not build the .Nm libthr (1:1 threading) library. .It Va NOMANCOMPRESS .Pq Vt bool Set to install man pages uncompressed. .It Va NOPROFILE .Pq Vt bool Set to avoid compiling profiled libraries. .It Va NOSHARE .Pq Vt bool Set to not build in the .Pa share subdir. .It Va PPP_NOSUID .Pq Vt bool Set to disable the installation of .Xr ppp 8 as an suid root program. .It Va SENDMAIL_MC .Pq Vt str The default m4 configuration file to use at install time. The value should include the full path to the .Pa .mc file, e.g., .Pa /etc/mail/myconfig.mc . Use with caution as a make install will overwrite any existing .Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf . Note that .Va SENDMAIL_CF is now deprecated. Avoid using a value of .Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.mc , as a buildworld will create .Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf before installworld installs an updated .Xr sendmail 8 binary. .It Va SENDMAIL_SUBMIT_MC .Pq Vt str The default m4 configuration file for mail submission to use at install time. The value should include the full path to the .Pa .mc file, e.g., .Pa /etc/mail/mysubmit.mc . Use with caution as a make install will overwrite any existing .Pa /etc/mail/submit.cf . Avoid using a value of .Pa /etc/mail/submit.mc , as a buildworld will create .Pa /etc/mail/submit.cf before installworld installs an updated .Xr sendmail 8 binary. .It Va SENDMAIL_ADDITIONAL_MC .Pq Vt str Additional .Pa .mc files which should be built into .Pa .cf files at build time. The value should include the full path to the .Pa .mc file(s), e.g., .Pa /etc/mail/foo.mc .Pa /etc/mail/bar.mc . Avoid using a value of .Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.mc , as a buildworld will create .Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf before installworld installs an updated .Xr sendmail 8 binary. .It Va SENDMAIL_M4_FLAGS .Pq Vt str Flags passed to m4 when building a .Pa .cf file from a .Pa .mc file. .It Va SENDMAIL_CFLAGS .Pq Vt str Flags to pass to the compile command when building .Xr sendmail 8 . The .Va SENDMAIL_* flags can be used to provide SASL support with setting such as: .Bd -literal -offset indent SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl .Ed .It Va SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS .Pq Vt str Flags to pass to the .Xr ld 1 command when building .Xr sendmail 8 . .It Va SENDMAIL_LDADD .Pq Vt str Flags to add to the end of the .Xr ld 1 command when building .Xr sendmail 8 . .It Va SENDMAIL_DPADD .Pq Vt str Extra dependencies to add when building .Xr sendmail 8 . .It Va SENDMAIL_SET_USER_ID .Pq Vt bool If set, install .Xr sendmail 8 as a set-user-ID root binary instead of a set-group-ID binary and do not install .Pa /etc/mail/submit.{cf,mc} . Use of this flag is not recommended and the alternative advice in .Pa /etc/mail/README should be followed instead if at all possible. .It Va SENDMAIL_MAP_PERMS .Pq Vt str Mode to use when generating alias and map database files using .Pa /etc/mail/Makefile . The default value is 0640. .It Va TOP_TABLE_SIZE .Pq Vt int .Xr top 1 uses a hash table for the user names. The size of this hash can be tuned to match the number of local users. The table size should be a prime number approximately twice as large as the number of lines in .Pa /etc/passwd . The default number is 20011. .It Va WANT_EXT2FS_MODULE .Pq Vt bool Set this if you always want to build the Linux ext2fs kernel module when you build modules. .It Va WANT_FORCE_OPTIMIZATION_DOWNGRADE .Pq Vt int Causes the system compiler to be built such that it forces high optimization levels to a lower one. .Xr gcc 1 .Fl O2 and above is known to trigger known optimizer bugs at various times \(em this is worse on the Alpha platform. The value assigned is the highest optimization value used. .El .Pp The following list provides a name and short description for variables that are used when building documentation. .Bl -tag -width Ar .It Va DISTDIR .Pq Vt str Where distfiles are kept. Normally, this is .Pa distfiles in .Va PORTSDIR . .It Va DOC_LANG .Pq Vt str The list of languages and encodings to build and install. .It Va PRINTERDEVICE .Pq Vt str The default format for system documentation, depends on your printer. This can be set to .Dq Li ascii for simple printers, or .Dq Li ps for postscript or graphics printers with a ghostscript filter, or both. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf" -compact .It Pa /etc/make.conf .It Pa /usr/doc/Makefile .It Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf .It Pa /usr/src/Makefile .It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gcc 1 , .Xr install 1 , .Xr make 1 , .Xr ports 7 , .Xr lpd 8 , .Xr sendmail 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm file appeared sometime before .Fx 4.0 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Mike W.
