intent of the Standard. - Make getconf able to distinguish between configuration variables which are entirely unknown and those which are merely not defined in the compilation environment. The latter now get a more appropriate "undefined\n" result rather than a diagnostic. This may not be exactly right, but it's closer to the intent of the Standard than the previous behavior. - Support ``programming environments'' by validating that the environment requested with the `-v' flag is the one-and-only execution environment. (If more environments are supported for some platforms in the future, multiple getconf(1) executables will be required, but a simple edit in progenv.gperf will enable automatic support for it.) Document POSIX standard programming environments. - Add all of the 1003.1-2001 configuration variables. FreeBSD does not support all of these (including some that are mandatory); getconf will later be fixed to break the world should a required variable not be defined. As a result of all these changes, gperf is no longer adequate. Keep the overall format and names of the files for now, to preserve revision history. Use an awk script to process the .gperf files into C source, which does a few things that gperf, as a more general tool, cannot do. The keyword recognition function is no longer a perfect hash function. This may obviate the need for gperf in the source tree. - Add a small compile-time regression test to break the build if any of the .gperf files declare conflicting token sets. (gperf itself would have done this for the simple case of duplicate tokens in the same input file.)
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
