25This directory contains the tools used to do a full build of the
26OS/Net workspace. They usually live in the /opt/onbld directory on build
27machines. From here, 'make install' will build and install the tools
28in $ROOT/opt/onbld. If you like, 'make pkg' will build the SUNWonbld
29package in $(PKGARCHIVE). Installing that package will populate the
30/opt/onbld directory, and create a root account for building called 'gk',
31which uses csh and has a home directory of /opt/onbld/gk. You can
32use this account to do full builds with 'nightly'. You don't have to,
33but the 'gk' account has the path setup properly, has a .make.machines
34file for dmake, and has a .login that sets up for dmake.
35
36Layout of /opt/onbld
37--------------------
38
39/opt/onbld/etc/abi
40 contains Solaris ABI database (ABI_*.db) and exceptions
41 for ABI Auditing tool (interface_check, interface_cmp).
42
43/opt/onbld/gk
44 gk account's home directory.
45
46/opt/onbld/bin
47 basic bin directory - contains scripts.
48
49/opt/onbld/bin/${MACH}
50 architecture-specific bin directory for binaries.

63
64/opt/onbld/lib/python/
65 symlink to the modules directory of the currently preferred
66 python version. This exists to retain compatibility both for
67 tools expecting only one supported version of python, and for
68 user .hgrc files that expect to find cdm.py in

75Tool Summary
76------------
77
78bldenv
79 companion to 'nightly.' Takes the same environment file you
80 used with 'nightly,' and starts a shell with the environment
81 set up the same way as 'nightly' set it up. This is useful
82 if you're trying to quickly rebuild portions of a workspace
83 built by 'nightly'. 'ws' should not be used for this since it
84 sets the environment up differently and may cause everything
85 to rebuild (because of different -I or -L paths).
86
87build_cscope
88 builds cscope databases in the uts, the platform subdirectories
89 of uts, and in usr/src. Uses cscope-fast.
90
91cdm
92 A Mercurial extension providing various commands useful for ON
93 development
94
95check_rtime
96 checks ELF attributes used by ELF dynamic objects in the proto area.
97 Used by 'nightly's -r option, to check a number of ELF runtime
98 attributes for consistency with common build rules. nightly uses
99 the -o option to simplify the output for diffing with previous
100 build results. It also uses the -i option to obtain NEEDED and RUNPATH
101 entries, which help detect changes in software dependencies and makes
102 sure objects don't have any strange runpaths like /opt/SUNWspro/lib.
103
104checkproto
105 Runs protocmp and protolist on a workspace (or uses the environment
106 variable CODEMGR_WS to determine the workspace). Checks the proto area
107 against the packages.
108
109codereview
110 Given two filenames, creates a postscript file with the file
111 differences highlighted.
112
113codesign
114 Tools for signing cryptographic modules using the official
115 Sun release keys stored on a remote signing server. This
116 directory contains signit, a client program for signing
117 files with the signing server; signproto, a shell script
118 that finds crypto modules in $ROOT and signs them using
119 signit; and codesign_server.pl, the code that runs on the
120 server. The codesign_server code is not used on an ON
121 build machine but is kept here for source control purposes.
122
123copyrightchk
124 Checks that files have appropriate SMI copyright notices.
125 Primarily used by wx
126
127cscope-fast
128 The fast version of cscope that we use internally. Seems to work,
129 but may need more testing before it's placed in the gate. The source
130 just really needs to be here.
131
132cstyle
133 checks C source for compliance with OS/Net guidelines.
134
135ctfconvert
136 Convert symbolic debugging information in an object file to the Compact
137 ANSI-C Type Format (CTF).
138
139ctfdump
140 Decode and display CTF data stored in a raw file or in an ELF file.
141
142ctfmerge
143 Merge the CTF data from one or more object files.
144
145depcheck
146 A tool to try an assess the dependencies of executables. This tool
147 is not a definitive dependency check, but it does use "strings" and
148 "ldd" to gather as much information as it can. The dependency check
149 tool can handle filenames and pkgnames. Before using the dependency
150 checker you must build a database which reflects the properties and
151 files in your system.
152
153elfcmp
154 Compares two ELF modules (e.g. .o files, executables) section by
155 section. Useful for determining whether "trivial" changes -
156 cstyle, lint, etc - actually changed the code. The -S option
157 is used to test whether two binaries are the same except for
158 the elfsign signature.
159
160elfsign
161 Built from the same sources as the shipped elfsign(1), this
162 version is used in nightly -t builds to assure that the signing
163 process and format is the same as will be used on the target
164 system.
165
166elfsigncmp
167 This script can be used in lieu of elfsign during a build.
168 It uses elfsign to sign a copy of the object and elfcmp -S to
169 verify that the signing caused no damage before updating
170 the object to be signed.
171
172find_elf
173 Search a directory tree for ELF objects, and produce one line of
174 output per object. Used by check_rtime and interface_check to locate
175 the objects to examine.
176
177findunref
178 Finds all files in a source tree that have access times older than a
179 certain time and are not in a specified list of exceptions. Since
180 'nightly' timestamps the start of the build, and findunref uses its
181 timestamp (by default), this can be used to find all files that were
182 unreferenced during a nightly build). Since some files are only used
183 during a SPARC or Intel build, 'findunref' needs to be run on
184 workspaces from both architectures and the results need to be merged.
185 For instance, if $INTELSRC and $SPARCSRC are set to the usr/src
186 directories of your Intel and SPARC nightly workspaces, then you
187 can merge the results like so:
188
189 $ findunref $INTELSRC $INTELSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \
190 sort > ~/unref-i386.out
191 $ findunref $SPARCSRC $SPARCSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \
192 sort > ~/unref-sparc.out
193 $ comm -12 ~/unref-i386.out ~/unref-sparc.out > ~/unref.out
194
195hdrchk
196 checks headers for compliance with OS/Net standards (form, includes,
197 C++ guards).
198
199hgsetup
200 creates a basic Mercurial configuration for the user.
201
202hg-active
203 helper used by webrev to generate file lists for Mercurial
204 workspaces.
205
206install.bin
207 binary version of /usr/sbin/install. Used to be vastly faster
208 (since /usr/sbin/install is a shell script), but may only be a bit
209 faster now. One speedup includes avoiding the name service for the
210 well-known, never-changing password entries like 'root' and 'sys.'
211
212interface_check
213 detects and reports invalid versioning in ELF objects.
214 Optionally generates an interface description file for
215 the workspace.
216
217interface_cmp
218 Compares two interface description files, as produced by
219 interface_check, and flags invalid deviations in ELF object
220 versioning between them. interface_cmp can be used between Solaris
221 gates to ensure that older releases remain compatible with the
222 development gate. It can also be used to validate new changes to
223 the development gate before they are integrated.
224
225lintdump
226 dumps the contents of one or more lint libraries; see lintdump(1)
227
228ndrgen
229 Network Data Language (NDL) RPC protocol compiler to support DCE
230 RPC/MSRPC and SMB/CIFS. ndrgen takes an input protocol definition
231 file (say, proto.ndl) and generates an output C source file
232 (proto_ndr.c) containing the Network Data Representation (NDR)
233 marshalling routines to implement the RPC protocol.
234
235nightly
236 nightly build script. Takes an environment (or 'env') file describing
237 such things as the workspace, the parent, and what to build. See
238 env/developer and env/gatekeeper for sample, hopefully well-commented
239 env files.
240
241pmodes
242 enforces proper file ownership and permissions in pkgmap and package
243 prototype* files. converts files if necessary
244
245protocmp
246 compares proto lists and the package definitions. Used by nightly
247 to determine if the proto area matches the packages, and to detect
248 differences between a childs proto area and a parents.
249
250protocmp.terse
251 transforms the output of protocmp into something a bit more friendly
252
253protolist
254 create a list of what's in the proto area, to feed to protocmp.
255
256
257ws
258 creates a shell with the environment set up to build in the given
259 workspace. Used mostly for non-full-build workspaces, so it sets up
260 to pull headers and libraries from the proto area of the parent if
261 they aren't in the childs proto area.
262
263tokenize
264 Used to build the sun4u boot block.
265
266webrev
267 Generates a set of HTML pages that show side-by-side diffs of
268 changes in your workspace, for easy communication of code
269 review materials. Can automagically find edited files or use a
270 manually-generated list; knows how to use wx's active file for
271 lists of checked-out files and proposed SCCS comments.
272
273which_scm
274 Reports the current Source Code Management (SCM) system in use
275 and the top-level directory of the workspace.
276
277wsdiff
278 Detect object differences between two ON proto areas. Used by
279 nightly(1) to determine what changed between two builds. Handy
280 for identifying the set of built objects impacted by a given
281 source change. This information is needed for patch construction.
282
283
284How to do a full build
285----------------------
286
2871. Find an environment file that might do what you want to do. If you're just
288 a developer wanting to do a full build in a child of the gate, copy the
289 'developer' environment file to a new name (private to you and/or the
290 work being done in this workspace, to avoid collisions with others). Then
291 edit the file and tailor it to your workspace. Remember that this file
292 is a shell script, so it can do more than set environment variables.
293
2942. Login as 'gk' (or root, but your PATH and .make.machines for dmake will
295 not be right). Run 'nightly' and give it your environment file as an
296 option. 'nightly' will first look for your environment file in
297 /opt/onbld/env, and if it's not there then it will look for it as an
298 absolute or relative path. Some people put their environment files in
299 their workspace to keep them close.
300
3013. When 'nightly' is complete, it will send a summary of what happened to
302 $MAILTO. Usually, the less info in the mail the better. If you have failures,
303 you can go look at the full log of what happened, generally in
304 $CODEMGR_WS/log/log.<date>/nightly.log (the mail_msg it sent and the proto
305 list are there too). You can also find the individual build logs, like
306 'make clobber' and 'make install' output in $SRC, under names like
307 clobber-${MACH}.out and install-${MACH}.out (for a DEBUG build). These
308 will be smaller than nightly.log, and maybe more searchable.
309
310Files you have to update to add a tool
311--------------------------------------
312
3131. Add the tool in its appropriate place.
3142. Update the Makefile as required.
3153. Update usr/src/pkg/manifests/developer-build-onbld.mf
3164. Update usr/src/tools/README.tools (this file).
3175. Repeat 1-4 for any man pages.
