.Sh NAME
.Nm make.conf
.Nd system build information.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Nm
contains settings that control the compilation of the FreeBSD sources
and ported applications. The file
.Nm
is generally created by the system administrator when the values need
to be changed from their defaults.
.Pp
The purpose of
.Nm
is not to run commands or perform compilation actions
directly.  Instead, it is included by the
various makefiles in
.Pa /usr/src,
.Pa /usr/ports
and
.Pa /usr/doc
which conditionalize their
internal actions according to the settings found there.
.Pp
The
.Pa /etc/make.conf
file is included from the the appropriate Makefile
which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
Options need only be specified in
.Pa /etc/make.conf
when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults.
.Pp
The build procedures occur in four broad areas: the world, the kernel,
documentations and ports. Variables set in
.Nm
may be applicable during builds in one, two, or all four of these
areas. They may be specified for a particular build via the
.Op -D
option of
.Xr make 1 .
.Pp
The following lists provides a name and short description for each
variable you can use during the indicated builds. The values of
variables flagged as
bool
are ignored; the variable being
set at all (even to
.Li Dq FALSE
or
.Li Dq NO )
cause it to
be treated as if it were set.
.Pp
The following list provides a name and short description for variables
that are used for all builds, or are used by the
makefiles for things other than builds.
.Bl -tag -width Ar
.It Ar CFLAGS
(str) Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code.
Optimization levels above
.Op -O ( -O2 , ...\& )
are not supported. BDECFLAGS
is provided as a set of gcc settings suggested by Bruce Evans
for developing and testing changes. They can be used by:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
CXFLAGS+=${BDECFLAGS}
.Ed
.It Ar CVS_UPDATE
(bool) Set this to use cvs to update your ports with
.Cm "make update" .
.It Ar CXXFLAGS
(str) Controls the compiler settings when compiling C++ code.
CXXFLAGS is initially set to the value of CFLAGS. If you want to
add to the CXXFLAGS value, use
.Dq Li +=
instead of
.Dq Li = .
.It Ar INSTALL
(str) the default install command. To have commands compared before doing
the install, use
.Bd -literal -offset indent
INSTALL="install -C"
.Ed
.It Ar LOCAL_DIRS
(str) List any directories that should be entered when doing
make's in
.Pa /usr/src
in this variable.

(bool) Set this to not update the ports tree during

.It Ar SUPHOST
(str) The hostname of the sup server to use when doing
.Cm "make update" .
.It Ar SUPFILE
(str) The first supfile to use when doing a
.Cm "make update" .
This defaults to
.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile .
.It Ar SUPFILE1
(str) The second supfile to use when doing a
.Cm "make update" .
This defaults to
.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/secure-supfile .
.It Ar SUPFILE2
(str) The third supfile to use when doing a
.Cm "make update" .
This defaults to
.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/secure-supfile .
.It Ar PORTSSUPFILE

.Cm "make update" .
This defaults to
.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .
.It Ar DOCSUPFILE
(str) The documentation supfile to use when doing a
.Cm "make update" .

been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
.It Ar BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
(int) The baud rate to use for the console if the boot blocks have
been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
.It Ar BOOTWAIT
(int) Controls the amount of time the kernel waits for a console keypress
before booting the default kernel. The value is approximately
milliseconds. Keypresses are accepted by the BIOS before booting from disk,
making it possible to give custom boot parameters even when this is
set to 0.

(str) Controls the compiler settings when building the
kernel. Optimization levels above
.Op -O ( -O2 , ...\& )
are not supported.
