68 things in that directory.
71 command in any directory issues the
73 command recursively in all subdirectories.
74 With no target specified, the items in the directories are built
75 and no further action is taken.

464 targets install binaries from the current
467 so that debugging information is retained in the installed binaries.
469 The directory hierarchy prefix where built objects will be installed.
472 defaults to the empty string.
473 .It Va MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
474 Defines the prefix for directory names in the tree of built objects.
478 This variable should only be set in the environment or
479 .Pa /etc/src-env.conf
486 If defined, compiler warnings will not cause the build to halt,
487 even if the makefile says otherwise.
489 If defined, the build process will run the DTrace CTF conversion
490 tools on built objects.
493 Additionally, builds in

607 Override the default list of sub-directories and only build the
608 sub-directory named in this variable.
611 then all libraries and includes, and some of the build tools will still build

620 it is necesarry to override

626 This variable can also be useful when debugging failed builds.

635 This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.

662 Builds under directory
664 are also influenced by defining one or more of the following symbols,
669 .Bl -tag -width ".Va -DNO_KERNELCONFIG"
670 .It Va LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP
671 Defines what interpreter the default loader program will have.
677 This creates the default link for
679 to the loader with that interpreter.
680 It also determines what interpreter is compiled into
683 If set, the build targets that clean parts of the object tree use the
689 If set, no object tree files are cleaned at all.
690 This is the default when
704 is set no kernel objects are cleaned either.
706 If set, the build process does not run the DTrace CTF conversion tools
709 If set, the build does not descend into the
711 subdirectory (i.e., manual pages, locale data files, timezone data files and
714 files will not be rebuild from their sources).
715 .It Va NO_KERNELCLEAN

736 documentation as part of the

761 This option should be used only when it is known that none of the bootstrap
762 needs changed and that no new directories have been connected to the build.
765 Builds under directory
767 are influenced by the following
770 .Bl -tag -width ".Va DOC_LANG"
772 If set, restricts the documentation build to the language subdirectories
773 specified as its content.
774 The default action is to build documentation for all languages.
779 target are influenced by the following
782 .Bl -tag -width ".Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS"
784 Pass the value of this variable to each
786 invocation used to build worlds and kernels.
787 This can be used to enable multiple jobs within a single architecture's build
788 while still building each architecture serially.
789 .It Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS
790 Only build kernels for each supported architecture.
791 .It Va MAKE_JUST_WORLDS
792 Only build worlds for each supported architecture.
