Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:19:27 +0200

tools/build: stage stdckdint.h's dependencies for non-FreeBSD hosts37bd69d43c7 gave stdckdint.h two new includes, and. Neither reaches a non-FreeBSD host: _visible.h isstaged only under ${.MAKE.OS} == "FreeBSD" and ckdint.h is not staged atall, so the libc bootstrap fails on reallocarray.o when cross-buildingfrom macOS. Both headers are self-contained; stage them alongsidestdckdint.h.Fixes: 37bd69d43c7 ("sys: Add sys/ckdint.h")Reviewed by: rpaulo, markjSponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D58943 List of files: /freebsd/tools/build/Makefile

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:28:09 +0200

build: Use -f when copying sourcesIf one of the source files we copy is non-writeable, cp will create anon-writeable copy. If the original is later modified, cp will fail tooverwrite the copy since it is not writeable. Using cp -f ensures thecopy always succeeds, as long as the object directory is writeable.MFC after: 1 weekSponsored by: Klara, Inc.Sponsored by: NetApp, Inc.

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 04:18:35 +0100

Use install instead of cp to copy bootstrap toolsWe need to preserve modification times on bootstrap tools, but `cp -p`also tries to preserve flags, which fails if OBJROOT is on NFS. A -Noption was added to cp for this purpose, but trying to use that wouldbreak cross-building on hosts that don't have that option. The bestremaining option is `install -p`, which we already assume is present.PR: 275030Reviewed by: imp, emasteDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53751 List of files: /freebsd/tools/build/Makefile

As a result, we alsocannot dlsym(), so we can't really discover the names of our newlybuiltin modules. Instead, just build out a linker set with all of ourluaopen_*() functions to register everything up-front.Building in all of the modules isn't strictly necessary, but it meansthat we have an example of how to add a bootstrap module everywhere yougo and one doesn't need to consider whether bootstrap flua can use amodule when writing scripts. On my build machine, the consequence onour binary size is an increase from around 1.6M -> 1.9M, which isn'treally that bad..lua modules can install into their usual path below $WORLDTMP/legacyand we'll pick them up automagically by way of the ctor that sets upLUA_PATH early on.This re-lands bootstrap module support with a more sensible subset, andafter having verified that it cross-builds fine on macOS and Linux -- wecannot do libfreebsd on !FreeBSD because it's more system headerdependant. We also need to bootstrap libmd to bring in libhash, andlibucl + libyaml.Reviewed by: bapt, emaste (both previous version)Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51890 List of files: /freebsd/tools/build/Makefile

build: remove certctl requirement for host OpenSSL libs on macOSSome platforms, like macOS, do not expose headers for the system'slibcrypto for public consumption. libcrypto is relatively heavy andneeds to know, e.g., the host system's endianness, so we scope the builddown to macOS where OpenSSL headers are known to not be present and wecan be reasonably certain that most of the systems today that would becross-building are little endian.We still don't bother if building WITHOUT_OPENSSL since the end resultis expected to be used by OpenSSL, but perhaps we could revisit thatindependently in case one, e.g., brings their own implementation.Reported by: jrtc27Reviewed by: jrtc27, ngieFixes: c340ef28fd38 ("certctl: Reimplement in C")Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51935 List of files: /freebsd/tools/build/Makefile

cross-build: Provide real fflagstostr/strtofflags on LinuxThese are used by mtree and makefs, so in order to be able to set schgon /var/empty in METALOG and set schg on various files and directoriesin the resulting disk images we need to have a real implementationrather than always giving no flags.Ideally mtree wouldn't rely on round-tripping the textual flags fieldvia the "native" flags encoding using these functions, and ideallymakefs wouldn't rely on the "native" flags encoding matching FreeBSD's,but in practice macOS's schg is the same and we can pretend Linux hasthe same.This fixes Linux-produced disk images lacking schg on any files ordirectories, and Linux-produced distribution tarballs lacking schg on/var/empty (note though that they do set schg on files, as installalready preserves file flags on Linux).Reviewed by: emaste, markjDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50080 List of files: /freebsd/tools/build/Makefile
