32 .Nd information on how to build the system
36 system and its applications are contained in three different directories,
46 sources, which is loosely defined as the things required to rebuild
47 the system to a useful state.

55 installing third party applications.

61 command is used in each of these directories to build and install the
62 things in that directory.
65 command in any directory or
66 subdirectory of those directories has the same effect as issuing the
67 same command in all subdirectories of that directory.
68 With no target specified, the things in that directory are just built.
70 A source tree is allowed to be read-only.
73 objects are usually built in a separate object directory hierarchy
74 specified by the environment variable
75 .Va MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX ,
81 For a given source directory, its canonical object directory

345 Variables that influence all builds include:

348 Defines a set of debugging flags that will be used to build all userland
357 targets install binaries from the current
360 so that debugging information is retained in the installed binaries.
362 The directory hierarchy prefix where built objects will be installed.
365 defaults to the empty string.
366 .It Va MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
367 Defines the prefix for directory names in the tree of built objects.
371 This variable should only be set in the environment and not via
375 If defined, compiler warnings will not cause the build to halt,
376 even if the makefile says otherwise.
378 If defined, the build process will run the DTrace CTF conversion
379 tools on built objects.
380 Please note that this WITH_ option is handled differently than all
381 other WITH_ options (there is no
385 in the build system).
388 Additionally, builds in

478 If set, no object tree files are cleaned at all.
485 is set no kernel objects are cleaned either.
487 If set, the build process does not run the DTrace CTF conversion tools
490 If set, the build does not descend into the
492 subdirectory (i.e. manpages, locale data files, timezone data files and
495 files will not be rebuild from their sources).

544 specified as its content.
545 The default action is to build documentation for all languages.
550 target are influenced by the following
553 .Bl -tag -width ".Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS"
555 Pass the value of this variable to each
557 invocation used to build worlds and kernels.
558 This can be used to enable multiple jobs within a single architecture's build
559 while still building each architecture serially.
560 .It Va MAKE_JUST_KERNELS
561 Only build kernels for each supported architecture.
562 .It Va MAKE_JUST_WORLDS
563 Only build worlds for each supported architecture.
