28.Dt MAKE.CONF 5
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm make.conf
32.Nd system build information
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The file
35.Nm
36contains settings that control the compilation of the
37.Fx
38sources
39and ported applications.
40The file
41.Nm
42is generally created by the system administrator when the values need
43to be changed from their defaults.
44.Pp
45The purpose of
46.Nm
47is not to run commands or perform compilation actions
48directly.
49Instead, it is included by the
50various makefiles in
51.Pa /usr/src ,
52.Pa /usr/ports
53and
54.Pa /usr/doc
55which conditionalize their
56internal actions according to the settings found there.
57.Pp
58The
59.Pa /etc/make.conf
60file is included from the appropriate
61.Pa Makefile
62which specifies the default settings for all the available options.
63Options need only be specified in
64.Pa /etc/make.conf
65when the system administrator wishes to override these defaults.
66.Pp
67The build procedures occur in four broad areas: the world, the kernel,
68documentations and ports.
69Variables set in
70.Nm
71may be applicable during builds in one, two, or all four of these
72areas.
73They may be specified for a particular build via the
74.Fl D
75option of
76.Xr make 1 .
77.Pp
78The following lists provide a name and short description for each
79variable you can use during the indicated builds.
80The values of
81variables flagged as
82.Vt bool
83are ignored; the variable being
84set at all (even to
85.Dq Li FALSE
86or
87.Dq Li NO )
88causes it to
89be treated as if it were set.
90.Pp
91The following list provides a name and short description for variables
92that are used for all builds, or are used by the
93.Pa makefiles
94for things other than builds.
95.Bl -tag -width Ar
96.It Va CFLAGS
97.Pq Vt str
98Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code.
99Optimization levels above
100.Fl O
101.Pq Fl O2 , No ...
102are not supported.
103.Va BDECFLAGS
104is provided as a set of
105.Xr gcc 1
106settings suggested by
107.An "Bruce Evans" Aq bde@FreeBSD.org
108for developing and testing changes.
109They can be used, if set, by:
110.Pp
111.Bd -literal -offset indent
112CFLAGS+=${BDECFLAGS}
113.Ed
114.It Va CPUTYPE
115.Pq Vt str
116Controls which processor should be targeted for generated
117code.
118This controls processor-specific optimizations in
119certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying
120the value of
121.Va CFLAGS
122and
123.Va COPTFLAGS
124to contain the appropriate optimization directive to
125.Xr gcc 1 .
126The automatic setting of
127.Va CFLAGS
128and
129.Va COPTFLAGS
130may be overridden using the
131.Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS
132and
133.Va NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS
134variables, respectively.
135Refer to
136.Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
137for a list of recognized
138.Va CPUTYPE
139options.
140.It Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS
141.Pq Vt str
142Setting this variable will prevent CPU specific compiler flags
143from being automatically added to
144.Va CFLAGS
145during compile time.
146.It Va NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS
147.Pq Vt str
148Setting this variable will prevent CPU specific compiler flags
149from being automatically added to
150.Va COPTFLAGS
151during compile time.
152.It Va CVS_UPDATE
153.Pq Vt bool
154Set this to use

158.It Va CXXFLAGS
159.Pq Vt str
160Controls the compiler settings when compiling C++ code.
161.Va CXXFLAGS
162is initially set to the value of
163.Va CFLAGS .
164If you want to
165add to the
166.Va CXXFLAGS
167value, use
168.Dq Li +=
169instead of
170.Dq Li = .
171.It Va INSTALL
172.Pq Vt str
173the default install command.
174To have commands compared before doing
175the install, use

193.Xr csh 1
194all currently supported.
195.Pp
196.Dl "MAKE_SHELL?=sh"
197.It Va MTREE_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS
198.Pq Vt str

203to follow symlinks.
204.It Va NO_DOCUPDATE
205.Pq Vt bool
206Set this to not update the doc tree during
207.Dq Li "make update" .
208.It Va NO_PORTSUPDATE

210Set this to not update the ports tree during
211.Dq Li "make update" .
212.It Va SUP_UPDATE
213.Pq Vt bool
214Set this to use

220The location of the
221.Xr cvsup 1
222command for
223.Dq Li "make update" .
224.It Va SUPFLAGS
225.Pq Vt str
226The flag for the
227.Xr sup 1
228command when doing
229.Dq Li "make update" .
230This defaults to

232.It Va SUPHOST
233.Pq Vt str
234The hostname of the sup server to use when doing
235.Dq Li "make update" .
236.It Va SUPFILE
237.Pq Vt str
238The first
239.Ar supfile
240to use when doing a
241.Dq Li "make update" .
242This defaults to
243.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard\-supfile .
244.It Va SUPFILE1
245.Pq Vt str
246The second
247.Ar supfile

252.It Va SUPFILE2
253.Pq Vt str
254The third
255.Ar supfile
256to use when doing a
257.Dq Li "make update" .
258This defaults to
259.Pa /usr/share/examples/cvsup/secure\-supfile .
260.It Va PORTSSUPFILE
261.Pq Vt str
262The ports
263.Ar supfile

268.It Va DOCSUPFILE
269.Pq Vt str
270The documentation
271.Ar supfile

276.El
277.Pp
278The following list provides a name and short description for variables
279that are only used doing a kernel build:
280.Bl -tag -width Ar
281.It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT
282.Pq Vt str
283The port address to use for the console if the boot blocks have
284been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
285.It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
286.Pq Vt int
287The baud rate to use for the console if the boot blocks have
288been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
289.It Va BOOTWAIT
290.Pq Vt int
291Controls the amount of time the kernel waits for a console keypress
292before booting the default kernel.
293The value is approximately milliseconds.
294Keypresses are accepted by the BIOS before booting from disk,
295making it possible to give custom boot parameters even when this is
296set to 0.
297.It Va COPTFLAGS
298.Pq Vt str
299Controls the compiler settings when building the
300kernel.
301Optimization levels above
302.Oo Fl O ( O2 , No ...\& ) Oc
303are not guaranteed to work.
304.It Va KERNCONF
305.Pq Vt str
306Controls which kernel configurations will be
307built by
308.Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel"
309and installed by
310.Dq Li "${MAKE} installkernel" .
311For example,
312.Bd -literal -offset indent
313KERNCONF=MINE DEBUG GENERIC OTHERMACHINE
314.Ed
315.Pp
316will build the kernels specified by the config files
317.Pa MINE , DEBUG , GENERIC ,

321.Pa MINE .
322It defaults to
323.Pa GENERIC .
324.It Va LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT
325.Pq Vt bool
326While not a buildkernel-affected option, there is no better place for this.
327By default the
328.Xr pxeboot 8
329loader retrieves the kernel via NFS.
330Defining this and recompiling
331.Pa /usr/src/sys/boot
332will cause it to retrieve the kernel via TFTP.
333This allows
334.Xr pxeboot 8
335to load a custom BOOTP diskless kernel yet
336still mount the server's
337.Pa /
338rather than load the server's kernel.

349.Pq Vt bool
350Set this to skip running
351.Dq Li "${MAKE} depend"
352during
353.Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel" .
354.It Va NO_MODULES
355.Pq Vt bool
356Set to not build modules with the kernel.
357.El
