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.

69Tool Summary
70------------
71
72bldenv
73 companion to 'nightly.' Takes the same environment file you
74 used with 'nightly,' and starts a shell with the environment
75 set up the same way as 'nightly' set it up. This is useful
76 if you're trying to quickly rebuild portions of a workspace
77 built by 'nightly'. 'ws' should not be used for this since it
78 sets the environment up differently and may cause everything
79 to rebuild (because of different -I or -L paths).
80
81build_cscope
82 builds cscope databases in the uts, the platform subdirectories
83 of uts, and in usr/src. Uses cscope-fast.
84
85check_rtime
86 checks ELF attributes used by ELF dynamic objects in the proto area.
87 Used by 'nightly's -r option, to check a number of ELF runtime
88 attributes for consistency with common build rules. nightly uses
89 the -o option to simplify the output for diffing with previous
90 build results. It also uses the -i option to obtain NEEDED and RUNPATH
91 entries, which help detect changes in software dependencies and makes
92 sure objects don't have any strange runpaths like /opt/SUNWspro/lib.
93
94checkproto
95 Runs protocmp and protolist on a workspace (or uses the environment
96 variable CODEMGR_WS to determine the workspace). Checks the proto area
97 against the packages.
98
99codereview
100 Given two filenames, creates a postscript file with the file
101 differences highlighted.
102
103codesign
104 Tools for signing cryptographic modules using the official
105 Sun release keys stored on a remote signing server. This
106 directory contains signit, a client program for signing
107 files with the signing server; signproto, a shell script
108 that finds crypto modules in $ROOT and signs them using
109 signit; and codesign_server.pl, the code that runs on the
110 server. The codesign_server code is not used on an ON
111 build machine but is kept here for source control purposes.
112
113copyrightchk
114 Checks that files have appropriate SMI copyright notices.
115 Primarily used by wx
116
117cscope-fast
118 The fast version of cscope that we use internally. Seems to work,
119 but may need more testing before it's placed in the gate. The source
120 just really needs to be here.
121
122cstyle
123 checks C source for compliance with OS/Net guidelines.
124
125ctfconvert
126 Convert symbolic debugging information in an object file to the Compact
127 ANSI-C Type Format (CTF).
128
129ctfdump
130 Decode and display CTF data stored in a raw file or in an ELF file.
131
132ctfmerge
133 Merge the CTF data from one or more object files.
134
135depcheck
136 A tool to try an assess the dependencies of executables. This tool
137 is not a definitive dependency check, but it does use "strings" and
138 "ldd" to gather as much information as it can. The dependency check
139 tool can handle filenames and pkgnames. Before using the dependency
140 checker you must build a database which reflects the properties and
141 files in your system.
142
143elfcmp
144 Compares two ELF modules (e.g. .o files, executables) section by
145 section. Useful for determining whether "trivial" changes -
146 cstyle, lint, etc - actually changed the code. The -S option
147 is used to test whether two binaries are the same except for
148 the elfsign signature.
149
150elfsign
151 Built from the same sources as the shipped elfsign(1), this
152 version is used in nightly -t builds to assure that the signing
153 process and format is the same as will be used on the target
154 system.
155
156elfsigncmp
157 This script can be used in lieu of elfsign during a build.
158 It uses elfsign to sign a copy of the object and elfcmp -S to
159 verify that the signing caused no damage before updating
160 the object to be signed.
161
162find_elf
163 Search a directory tree for ELF objects, and produce one line of
164 output per object. Used by check_rtime and interface_check to locate
165 the objects to examine.
166
167findunref
168 Finds all files in a source tree that have access times older than a
169 certain time and are not in a specified list of exceptions. Since
170 'nightly' timestamps the start of the build, and findunref uses its
171 timestamp (by default), this can be used to find all files that were
172 unreferenced during a nightly build). Since some files are only used
173 during a SPARC or Intel build, 'findunref' needs to be run on
174 workspaces from both architectures and the results need to be merged.
175 For instance, if $INTELSRC and $SPARCSRC are set to the usr/src
176 directories of your Intel and SPARC nightly workspaces, then you
177 can merge the results like so:
178
179 $ findunref $INTELSRC $INTELSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \
180 sort > ~/unref-i386.out
181 $ findunref $SPARCSRC $SPARCSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \
182 sort > ~/unref-sparc.out
183 $ comm -12 ~/unref-i386.out ~/unref-sparc.out > ~/unref.out
184
185hdrchk
186 checks headers for compliance with OS/Net standards (form, includes,
187 C++ guards).
188
189install.bin
190 binary version of /usr/sbin/install. Used to be vastly faster
191 (since /usr/sbin/install is a shell script), but may only be a bit
192 faster now. One speedup includes avoiding the name service for the
193 well-known, never-changing password entries like 'root' and 'sys.'
194
195interface_check
196 detects and reports invalid versioning in ELF objects.
197 Optionally generates an interface description file for
198 the workspace.
199
200interface_cmp
201 Compares two interface description files, as produced by
202 interface_check, and flags invalid deviations in ELF object
203 versioning between them. interface_cmp can be used between Solaris
204 gates to ensure that older releases remain compatible with the
205 development gate. It can also be used to validate new changes to
206 the development gate before they are integrated.
207
208lintdump
209 dumps the contents of one or more lint libraries; see lintdump(1)
210
211ndrgen
212 Network Data Language (NDL) RPC protocol compiler to support DCE
213 RPC/MSRPC and SMB/CIFS. ndrgen takes an input protocol definition
214 file (say, proto.ndl) and generates an output C source file
215 (proto_ndr.c) containing the Network Data Representation (NDR)
216 marshalling routines to implement the RPC protocol.
217
218nightly
219 nightly build script. Takes an environment (or 'env') file describing
220 such things as the workspace, the parent, and what to build. See
221 env/developer and env/gatekeeper for sample, hopefully well-commented
222 env files.
223
224pmodes
225 enforces proper file ownership and permissions in pkgmap and package
226 prototype* files. converts files if necessary
227
228protocmp
229 compares proto lists and the package definitions. Used by nightly
230 to determine if the proto area matches the packages, and to detect
231 differences between a childs proto area and a parents.
232
233protocmp.terse
234 transforms the output of protocmp into something a bit more friendly
235
236protolist
237 create a list of what's in the proto area, to feed to protocmp.
238
239
240ws
241 creates a shell with the environment set up to build in the given
242 workspace. Used mostly for non-full-build workspaces, so it sets up
243 to pull headers and libraries from the proto area of the parent if
244 they aren't in the childs proto area.
245
246tokenize
247 Used to build the sun4u boot block.
248
249webrev
250 Generates a set of HTML pages that show side-by-side diffs of
251 changes in your workspace, for easy communication of code
252 review materials. Can automagically find edited files or use a
253 manually-generated list; knows how to use wx's active file for
254 lists of checked-out files and proposed SCCS comments.
255
256which_scm
257 Reports the current Source Code Management (SCM) system in use
258 and the top-level directory of the workspace.
259
260wsdiff
261 Detect object differences between two ON proto areas. Used by
262 nightly(1) to determine what changed between two builds. Handy
263 for identifying the set of built objects impacted by a given
264 source change. This information is needed for patch construction.
265
266
267How to do a full build
268----------------------
269
2701. Find an environment file that might do what you want to do. If you're just
271 a developer wanting to do a full build in a child of the gate, copy the
272 'developer' environment file to a new name (private to you and/or the
273 work being done in this workspace, to avoid collisions with others). Then
274 edit the file and tailor it to your workspace. Remember that this file
275 is a shell script, so it can do more than set environment variables.
276
2772. Login as 'gk' (or root, but your PATH and .make.machines for dmake will
278 not be right). Run 'nightly' and give it your environment file as an
279 option. 'nightly' will first look for your environment file in
280 /opt/onbld/env, and if it's not there then it will look for it as an
281 absolute or relative path. Some people put their environment files in
282 their workspace to keep them close.
283
2843. When 'nightly' is complete, it will send a summary of what happened to
285 $MAILTO. Usually, the less info in the mail the better. If you have failures,
286 you can go look at the full log of what happened, generally in
287 $CODEMGR_WS/log/log.<date>/nightly.log (the mail_msg it sent and the proto
288 list are there too). You can also find the individual build logs, like
289 'make clobber' and 'make install' output in $SRC, under names like
290 clobber-${MACH}.out and install-${MACH}.out (for a DEBUG build). These
291 will be smaller than nightly.log, and maybe more searchable.
292
293Files you have to update to add a tool
294--------------------------------------
295
2961. Add the tool in its appropriate place.
2972. Update the Makefile as required.
2983. Update usr/src/pkg/manifests/developer-build-onbld.mf
2994. Update usr/src/tools/README.tools (this file).
3005. Repeat 1-4 for any man pages.
