29.Dt BUILD 7
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm build
33.Nd information on how to build the system
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The source for the
36.Dx
37system and applications is contained in two different directories,
38normally
39.Pa /usr/src
40and
41.Pa /usr/ports .
42The
43.Pa /usr/src
44directory contains the
45.Dq "base system"
46sources, which is loosely defined as the things required to rebuild
47the system to a useful state.
48It also contains the source for the system documentation, including
49manual pages.
50The
51.Pa /usr/ports
52directory
53is a tree that provides a consistent interface for building and
54installing third party applications.
55.Pp
56The
57.Xr make 1
58command is used in each of these directories to build and install the
59things in that directory. Issuing the
60.Xr make 1
61command in any directory or
62subdirectory of those directories has the same effect as issuing the
63same command in all subdirectories of that directory. With no target
64specified, the things in that directory are just built. The following
65list provides the names and actions for other targets:
66.Bl -tag -width ".Cm install"
67.It Cm clean
68Removes any files created during the build process.
69.It Cm install
70Installs the results of the build for this directory.
71.It Cm update
72Gets updated sources as configured in
73.Pa /etc/make.conf .
74.El
75.Pp
76The other
77.Pa /usr/src
78make targets are:
79.Bl -tag -width ".Cm reinstallkernel"
80.It Cm buildworld
81Rebuild everything but the kernel.
82.It Cm quickworld
83Same as
84.Cm buildworld ,
85but skip bootstrap, build and cross-build tool steps.
86This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full build of the
87world has been done with
88.Cm buildworld .
89.It Cm realquickworld
90Same as
91.Cm quickworld ,
92but also skip the depend step.
93.It Cm crossworld
94Just do the bootstrap, build and cross-build steps.
95.It Cm installworld
96Install everything built by
97.Cm buildworld .
98.It Cm world
99.Cm buildworld +
100.Cm installworld .
101.It Cm buildkernel
102Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
103.It Cm nativekernel
104Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules using native tools.
105.It Cm quickkernel
106Same as
107.Cm buildkernel ,
108but skip the depend step and do not clean out the
109obj modules. This target can be used for incremental upgrades once a full
110build of the kernel has been done with
111.Cm buildkernel .
112.It Cm installkernel
113Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
114.It Cm reinstallkernel
115Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
116.It Cm kernel
117.Cm buildkernel +
118.Cm installkernel .
119.It Cm preupgrade
120Perform certain upgrades that have to be done before
121.Cm installworld .
122.Cm installworld
123will complain if they have not been done.
124.It Cm upgrade
125Upgrade the files in /etc and also setup the rest of the system for
126the version of DragonFly just installed.
127.It Cm most
128Build user commands, no libraries or include files.
129.It Cm installmost
130Install user commands, no libraries or include files.
131.El
132.Pp
133For more information about the ports build process, see
134.Xr ports 7 .
135.Sh ENVIRONMENT
136.Bl -tag -width ".Va TARGET_ARCH"
137.It Va TARGET_ARCH
138The target machine processor architecture.
139This is analogous to the
140.Dq Nm uname Fl p
141output.
142.\"Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
143.It Va TARGET
144The target hardware platform.
145This is analogous to the
146.Dq Nm uname Fl m
147output.
148.\"This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.
149.It Va NO_WERROR
150If defined, warnings will not cause the build to halt, even if the
151makefile says otherwise.
152.It Va DESTDIR
153The directory hierarchy where the resulting binaries will be
154installed.
155.El
156.Sh FILES
157.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile" -compact
158.It Pa /etc/make.conf
159.It Pa /etc/defaults/make.conf
160.It Pa /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile
161.It Pa /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
162.It Pa /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk
163.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile
164.It Pa /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
165.El
166.Sh EXAMPLES
167The
168.Dq approved
169method of updating your system from the latest sources is:
170.Bd -literal -offset indent
171make buildworld
172make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
173make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
174make installworld
175make upgrade
176.Ed
177.Pp
178.Dq FOO
179must be replaced with the name of the kernel configuration file from which
180the kernel should be built.
181Alternatively, the
182.Va KERNCONF
183variable in
184.Pa /etc/make.conf
185can be set to the name of the kernel to build;
186in this case the
187.Dq KERNCONF=FOO
188part of the
189.Cm buildkernel
190and
191.Cm installkernel
192commands can be omitted.
193.Pp
194After running these commands a system reboot is required,
195otherwise many programs which have been rebuilt
196(such as
197.Nm ps ,
198.Nm top ,
199etc)
200may not work with the old kernel which is still running.
