4This is the README file for the "include" files for the FreeBSD
5source tree.  The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are by
6convention, named with the suffix ".mk".  These files store several
7build options and should be handled with caution.
8
9Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk
10files for anything tricky.
11
12There are two main types of make include files.  One type is the generally
13usable make include files, such as bsd.prog.mk and bsd.lib.mk.  The other is
14the internal make include files, such as bsd.files.mk and bsd.man.mk, which
15can not/should not be used directly but are used by the other make include
16files.  In most cases it is only interesting to include bsd.prog.mk or
17bsd.lib.mk.

58Random things worth knowing about this document:
59
60If appropriate when documenting the variables the default value is
61indicated using square brackets e.g. [gzip].
62In some cases the default value depend on other values (e.g. system
63architecture).  In these cases the most common value is indicated.
64
65This document contains some simple examples of the usage of the BSD make
66include files.  For more examples look at the makefiles in the FreeBSD
67source tree.
68
69=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
70
71RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
72
73The files are like C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
74you'd expect.  The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
75used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
76
77One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
78of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile.  The reason for
79this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
80values of variables set in the Makefile.  To make this work, remember that
81the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
82
83	a:
84		echo a
85	a:
86		echo a number two
87
88the command "make a" will echo "a".  To make things confusing, the SECOND
89variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
90
91	a=	foo
92	a=	bar
93
94	b:
95		echo ${a}
96
97the command "make b" will echo "bar".  This is for compatibility with the
98way the V7 make behaved.
99
100It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
101multiple programs in a single directory.  It's a lot easier to split up
102the programs than to deal with the problem.  Most of the agony comes from
103making the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switch to a new
104version of make.  So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle
105multiple architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff.
106(Imake doesn't count.)
107
108The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
109for the source files.  This file is read automatically by make after reading
110the Makefile.
111
112The variable DESTDIR works as before.  It's not set anywhere but will change
113the tree where the file gets installed.
114
115The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
116the regular libraries.  A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
117object, and ".pico" denotes a position-independent relocatable object.
118".nossppico" denotes a position-independent relocatable object without
119stack smashing protection.
120
121=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
122
123The following variables are common:
124
125AFLAGS.${SRC}
126		Flags dependent on source file name.
127ACFLAGS.${SRC}
128		Flags dependent on source file name.
129CFLAGS.${SRC}
130		Flags dependent on source file name.
131CFLAGS.${COMPILER_TYPE}
132		Flags dependent on compiler added to CFLAGS.
133CFLAGS.${MACHINE_ARCH}
134		Architectural flags added to CFLAGS.
135CFLAGS_NO_SIMD	Add this to CFLAGS for programs that don't want any SIMD
136		instructions generated. It is setup in bsd.cpu.mk to an
137		appropriate value for the compiler and target.
138CXXFLAGS.${COMPILER_TYPE}
139		Flags dependent on compiler added to CXXFLAGS.
140CXXFLAGS.${MACHINE_ARCH}
141		Architectural flags added to CXXFLAGS.
142CXXFLAGS.${SRC}
143		Flags dependent on source file name.
144COMPILER_FEATURES
145		A list of features that the compiler supports. Zero or
146		more of:
147			c++11	Supports full C++ 11 standard.
148
149COMPILER_TYPE	Type of compiler, either clang or gcc, though other
150		values are possible. Don't assume != clang == gcc.
151
152COMPILER_VERSION
153		A numeric constant equal to:
154		     major * 10000 + minor * 100 + tiny
155		for the compiler's self-reported version.

159The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
160environment or otherwise.  You probably don't want to touch this file.
161
162=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
163
164The include file <bsd.arch.inc.mk> includes other Makefiles for specific
165architectures, if they exist. It will include the first of the following
166files that it finds: Makefile.${MACHINE}, Makefile.${MACHINE_ARCH},
167Makefile.${MACHINE_CPUARCH}
168
169=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
170
171The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
172links.
173
174It has three targets:
175
176	all-man:
177		build manual pages.
178	maninstall:
179		install the manual pages and their links.
180	manlint:
181		verify the validity of manual pages.
182
183It sets/uses the following variables:

186
187MANDIR		Base path for manual installation.
188

196		or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
197
198MLINKS		List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix).  The
199		linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
200		and there may be multiple pairs.  The files are hard-linked.
201
202The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
203it exists.
204
205=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
206
207The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains the owners, groups, etc. for both

247they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.
248
249=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
250
251The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
252more source files, along with their manual pages.  It has a limited number
253of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
254
255It has seven targets:
256
257	all:
258		build the program and its manual page
259	clean:
260		remove the program and any object files.
261	cleandir:
262		remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
263		well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
264	depend:
265		make the dependencies for the source files, and store
266		them in the file .depend.
267	install:
268		install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
269		does not itself define the target install, the targets
270		beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
271		actions immediately before and after the install target
272		is executed.
273	tags:
274		create a tags file for the source files.
275
276It sets/uses the following variables:
277
278ACFLAGS		Flags to the compiler when preprocessing and
279		assembling .S files.
280
281AFLAGS		Flags to the assembler when assembling .s files.
282
283BINGRP		Binary group.
284
285BINMODE		Binary mode.
286
287BINOWN		Binary owner.
288
289CFLAGS		Flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
290
291CLEANDIRS	Additional files (CLEANFILES) and directories (CLEANDIRS) to
292CLEANFILES	remove during clean and cleandir targets.  "rm -rf" and
293		"rm -f" are used, respectively.
294
295DPADD		Additional dependencies for the program.  Usually used for
296		libraries.  For example, to depend on the compatibility and
297		utility libraries use:
298
299			DPADD=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
300
301		There is a predefined identifier for each (non-profiled,
302		non-shared) library and object.  Library file names are
303		transformed to identifiers by removing the extension and
304		converting to upper case.
305
306		There are no special identifiers for profiled or shared
307		libraries or objects.  The identifiers for the standard
308		libraries are used in DPADD.  This works correctly iff all
309		the libraries are built at the same time.  Unfortunately,
310		it causes unnecessary relinks to shared libraries when
311		only the static libraries have changed.  Dependencies on
312		shared libraries should be only on the library version
313		numbers.
314
315FILES		A list of non-executable files.
316		The installation is controlled by the FILESNAME, FILESOWN,
317		FILESGRP, FILESMODE, FILESDIR variables that can be
318		further specialized by FILES<VAR>_<file>.
319
320LDADD		Additional loader objects.  Usually used for libraries.
321		For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
322		libraries, use:
323
324			LDADD=-lutil -lcompat
325
326LDFLAGS		Additional loader flags. Passed to the loader via CC,
327		since that's used to link programs as well, so loader
328		specific flags need to be prefixed with -Wl, to work.
329
330LIBADD		Additional libraries.  This is for base system libraries
331		and is only valid inside of the /usr/src tree.
332		Use LIBADD=name instead of LDADD=-lname.
333
334LINKS		The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
335		linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
336		file.  The files are hard-linked.  For example, to link
337		/bin/test and /bin/[, use:
338
339			LINKS=	/bin/test /bin/[
340
341LINKOWN		Owner of links created with LINKS [${BINOWN}].
342
343LINKGRP		Group of links created with LINKS [${BINGRP}].
344
345LINKMODE	Mode of links created with LINKS [${BINMODE}].
346
347
348MAN		Manual pages.  If no MAN variable is defined,
349		"MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed. See bsd.man.mk for more details.
350
351PROG		The name of the program to build.  If not supplied, nothing
352		is built.
353
354PROGNAME	The name that the above program will be installed as, if
355		different from ${PROG}.
356
357PROG_CXX	If defined, the name of the program to build.  Also
358		causes <bsd.prog.mk> to link the program with the
359		standard C++ library.  PROG_CXX overrides the value
360		of PROG if PROG is also set.
361
362PROGS		When used with <bsd.progs.mk>, allow building multiple
363PROGS_CXX	PROG and PROG_CXX in one Makefile.  To define
364		individual variables for each program the VAR.prog
365		syntax should be used.  For example:
366
367		PROGS=		foo bar
368		SRCS.foo=	foo_src.c
369		LDADD.foo=	-lutil
370		SRCS.bar=	bar_src.c
371
372		The supported variables are:
373		- BINDIR
374		- BINGRP
375		- BINMODE
376		- BINOWN
377		- CFLAGS
378		- CXXFLAGS
379		- DEBUG_FLAGS
380		- DPADD
381		- DPSRCS
382		- INTERNALPROG (no installation)
383		- LDADD
384		- LDFLAGS
385		- LIBADD
386		- LINKS
387		- MAN
388		- MLINKS
389		- NO_WERROR
390		- PROGNAME
391		- SRCS
392		- STRIP
393		- WARNS
394
395SCRIPTS		A list of interpreter scripts [file.{sh,csh,pl,awk,...}].
396		The installation is controlled by the SCRIPTSNAME, SCRIPTSOWN,
397		SCRIPTSGRP, SCRIPTSMODE, SCRIPTSDIR variables that can be
398		further specialized by SCRIPTS<VAR>_<script>.
399
400SRCS		List of source files to build the program.  If SRCS is not
401		defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c or, if PROG_CXX is
402		defined, ${PROG_CXX}.cc.
403
404STRIP		The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
405		to be stripped.  This is to be used when building your
406		own install script so that the entire system can be made
407		stripped/not-stripped using a single nob.
408
409SUBDIR		A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
410		Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
411		subdirectories.
412
413The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
414if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
415
416Some simple examples:
417
418To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use:
419
420	PROG=	foo
421
422	.include <bsd.prog.mk>
423
424To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line:
425
426	MAN=	foo.2
427
428If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
429
430	MAN=
431
432If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
433
434	SRCS=	a.c b.c c.c d.c
435

437
438The include file, <bsd.snmpmod.mk>, handles building MIB modules for bsnmpd
439from one or more source files, along with their manual pages.  It has a
440limited number of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD
441tree.
442
443bsd.snmpmod.mk leverages bsd.lib.mk for building MIB modules and
444bsd.files.mk for installing MIB description and definition files.
445
446It implements the following additional targets:
447
448	smilint:
449		execute smilint on the MIBs defined by BMIBS.
450
451		The net-mgmt/libsmi package must be installed before
452		executing this target. The net-mgmt/net-snmp package
453		should be installed as well to reduce false positives
454		from smilint.
455
456It sets/uses the following variables:
457
458BMIBS		The MIB definitions to install.
459
460BMIBSDIR	The directory where the MIB definitions are installed.
461		This defaults to `${SHAREDIR}/snmp/mibs`.
462
463DEFS		The MIB description files to install.
464
465DEFSDIR		The directory where MIB description files are installed.
466		This defaults to `${SHAREDIR}/snmp/defs`.
467
468EXTRAMIBDEFS	Extra MIB description files to use as input when
469		generating ${MOD}_oid.h and ${MOD}_tree.[ch].
470
471EXTRAMIBSYMS	Extra MIB definition files used only for extracting
472		symbols.
473
474		EXTRAMIBSYMS are useful when resolving inter-module
475		dependencies and are useful with files containing only
476		enum-definitions.
477
478		See ${MOD}_oid.h for more details.
479
480LOCALBASE	The package root where smilint and the net-snmp
481		definitions can be found
482
483MOD		The bsnmpd module name.
484
485SMILINT		smilint binary to use with the smilint make target.
486
487SMILINT_FLAGS	flags to pass to smilint.
488
489SMIPATH		A colon-separated directory path where MIBs definitions
490		can be found. See "SMIPATH" in smi_config for more
491		details.
492
493XSYM		MIB names to extract symbols for. See ${MOD}_oid.h for
494		more details.
495
496It generates the following files:
497
498${MOD}_tree.c	A source file and header which programmatically describes
499${MOD}_tree.h	the MIB (type, OID name, ACCESS attributes, etc).
500
501		The files are generated via "gensnmptree -p".
502
503		See gensnmptree(1) for more details.
504
505${MOD}_oid.h	A header which programmatically describes the MIB root and
506		MIB tables.
507
508		The files are generated via "gensnmptree -e".
509
510		See gensnmptree(1) for more details.
511

513
514The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
515subdirectories.  It has the same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean,
516cleandir, depend, install, and tags.  For all of the directories listed in the
517variable SUBDIRS, the specified directory will be visited and the target made.
518There is also a default target which allows the command "make subdir" where
519subdir is any directory listed in the variable SUBDIRS.
520
521=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
522
523The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries.  It has the
524same seven targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend, install, and
525tags.  It has a limited number of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of
526the BSD tree.
527
528It sets/uses the following variables:
529
530LDADD		Additional loader objects.
531
532LIB		The name of the library to build.  Both a shared and static
533		library will be built.  NO_PIC can be set to only build a
534		static library.
535
536LIBADD		Additional libraries.  This is for base system libraries
537		and is only valid inside of the /usr/src tree.
538		Use LIBADD=name instead of LDADD=-lname.

547
548LIBRARIES_ONLY	Do not build or install files other than the library.
549
550LIB_CXX		The name of the library to build. It also causes
551		<bsd.lib.mk> to link the library with the
552		standard C++ library.  LIB_CXX overrides the value
553		of LIB if LIB is also set.  Both a shared and static library
554		will be built.  NO_PIC can be set to only build a static
555		library.
556
557LINKS		The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
558		linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
559		file.  The files are hard-linked.  For example, to link
560		/bin/test and /bin/[, use:

583SRCS		List of source files to build the library.  Suffix types
584		.s, .c, and .f are supported.  Note, .s files are preferred
585		to .c files of the same name.  (This is not the default for
586		versions of make.)
587
588The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
589if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
590
591It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
592built by default.
593
594Libraries are ranlib'd before installation.
595

597
598The include file <bsd.test.mk> handles building one or more test programs
599intended to be used in the FreeBSD Test Suite under /usr/tests/.
600
601It has seven targets:
602
603	all:
604		build the test programs.
605	check:
606		runs the test programs with kyua test.
607
608		The beforecheck and aftercheck targets will be invoked, if
609		defined, to execute commands before and after the realcheck
610		target has been executed, respectively.
611
612		The devel/kyua package must be installed before invoking this
613		target.
614	clean:
615		remove the test programs and any object files.
616	cleandir:
617		remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
618		well as .depend and tags.
619	depend:
620		make the dependencies for the source files, and store
621		them in the file .depend.
622	install:
623                install the test programs and their data files; if the
624                Makefile does not itself define the target install, the
625                targets beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used
626                to cause actions immediately before and after the
627                install target is executed.
628	tags:
629		create a tags file for the source files.
630
631It sets/uses the following variables, among many others:
632
633ATF_TESTS_C	The names of the ATF C test programs to build.
634
635ATF_TESTS_CXX	The names of the ATF C++ test programs to build.
636
637ATF_TESTS_SH	The names of the ATF sh test programs to build.
638
639KYUAFILE	If 'auto' (the default), generate a Kyuafile out of the
640		test programs defined in the Makefile.  If 'yes', then a
641		manually-crafted Kyuafile must be supplied with the
642		sources.  If 'no', no Kyuafile is installed (useful for
643		subdirectories providing helper programs or data files
644		only).
645
646LOCALBASE	The --prefix for the kyua package.
647
648		The value of LOCALBASE defaults to /usr/local .
649
650NOT_FOR_TEST_SUITE
651		If defined, none of the built test programs get
652		installed under /usr/tests/ and no Kyuafile is
653		automatically generated.  Should not be used within the
654		FreeBSD source tree but is provided for the benefit of
655		third-parties.
656
657PLAIN_TESTS_C	The names of the plain (legacy) programs to build.
658
659PLAIN_TESTS_CXX	The names of the plain (legacy) test programs to build.
660
661PLAIN_TESTS_SH	The names of the plain (legacy) test programs to build.
662
663TAP_PERL_INTERPRETER
664		Path to the Perl interpreter to be used for
665		TAP-compliant test programs that are written in Perl.
666		Refer to TAP_TESTS_PERL for details.
667
668TAP_TESTS_C	The names of the TAP-compliant C test programs to build.
669
670TAP_TESTS_CXX	The names of the TAP-compliant C++ test programs to
671		build.
672
673TAP_TESTS_PERL	The names of the TAP-compliant Perl test programs to
674		build.  The corresponding source files should end with
675		the .pl extension; the test program is marked as
676		requiring Perl; and TAP_PERL_INTERPRETER is used in the
677		built scripts as the interpreter of choice.
678
679TAP_TESTS_SH	The names of the TAP-compliant sh test programs to
680		build.
681
682TESTSBASE	Installation prefix for tests. Defaults to /usr/tests
683
684TESTSDIR	Path to the installed tests.  Must be a subdirectory of
685		TESTSBASE and the subpath should match the relative
686		location of the tests within the src tree.
687
688		The value of TESTSDIR defaults to
689		${TESTSBASE}/${RELDIR:H} , e.g. /usr/tests/bin/ls when
690		included from bin/ls/tests .
691
692TESTS_SUBDIRS	List of subdirectories containing tests into which to
693		recurse.  Differs from SUBDIR in that these directories
694		get registered into the automatically-generated
695		Kyuafile (if any).
696
697The actual building of the test programs is performed by <bsd.prog.mk>.
698Please see the documentation above for this other file for additional
699details on the behavior of <bsd.test.mk>.
