65 command is used in each of these directories to build and install the
66 things in that directory.
69 command in any directory or
70 subdirectory of those directories has the same effect as issuing the
71 same command in all subdirectories of that directory.
72 With no target specified, the things in that directory are just built.
74 A source tree is allowed to be read-only.
77 objects are usually built in a separate object directory hierarchy
78 specified by the environment variable

108 supported by the build system:

365 Variables that influence all builds include:

368 Defines a set of debugging flags that will be used to build all userland
377 targets install binaries from the current

382 The directory hierarchy prefix where built objects will be installed.
385 defaults to the empty string.
386 .It Va MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
387 Defines the prefix for directory names in the tree of built objects.
391 This variable should only be set in the environment and not via
395 If defined, compiler warnings will not cause the build to halt,
396 even if the makefile says otherwise.
398 If defined, the build process will run the DTrace CTF conversion
399 tools on built objects.

541 If set, no object tree files are cleaned at all.
542 This is the default when

558 If set, the build process does not run the DTrace CTF conversion tools
561 If set, the build does not descend into the

609 specified as its content.
610 The default action is to build documentation for all languages.

618 .Bl -tag -width ".Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS"
620 Pass the value of this variable to each
622 invocation used to build worlds and kernels.
623 This can be used to enable multiple jobs within a single architecture's build
624 while still building each architecture serially.
