     mk.conf - make configuration file

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The mk.conf file overrides various parameters used during the build of
     the system.

     Listed below are the mk.conf variables that may be set, the values to
     which each may be set, a brief description of what each variable does,
     and a reference to relevant manual pages.

   NetBSD System variables    [Toc]    [Back]

     NETBSDSRCDIR  The path to the top level of the NetBSD sources.  If
                   make(1) is run from within the NetBSD source tree, the
                   default is the top level of that tree (as determined by the
                   presence of build.sh and tools/), otherwise BSDSRCDIR will
                   be used.

     BSDOBJDIR     The real path to the `obj' tree for the NetBSD source tree.
                   Default: /usr/obj.

     BSDSRCDIR     The real path to the NetBSD source tree.  Default:
                   /usr/src.

     BUILD         If defined, `make install' checks that the targets in the
                   source directories are up-to-date and re-makes them if they
                   are out of date, instead of blindly trying to install out
                   of date or non-existent targets.

     COPTS         Extra options for the C compiler.  Should be appended to
                   (e.g., COPTS+=-g), rather than explicitly set.

     MANZ          Install manual pages compressed with gzip(1).

     MKCATPAGES    If `no', don't build or install the formatted manual pages.

     MKDOC         If `no', don't build or install the miscellaneous
                   documentation.

     MKINFO        If `no', don't build or install the TeXinfo Info
                   documentation.

     MKLINT        If `no', don't build or install the lint libraries.

     MKMAN         If `no', don't build or install the manual pages.  Sets
                   MKCATPAGES=no.

     MKNLS         If `no', don't build or install the NLS (Native Language
                   Support) files.

     MKOBJ         If `no', don't create objdirs.

     MKPIC         If `no', don't build or install shared libraries.

     MKPICINSTALL  If `no', don't install the `*_pic.a' libraries.

     MKPROFILE     If `no', don't build or install the `*_p.a' profiling
                   libraries.

     MKSHARE       If `no', set MKCATPAGES=no, MKDOC=no, MKINFO=no, MKMAN=no,
                   MKNLS=no.

     OBJMACHINE    If defined, creates objdirs of the form obj.<arch>, where
                   `<arch>' is the current architecture (as per `uname -m').

     UPDATE        If defined, `make install' only installs targets that are
                   more recently modified in the source directories that their
                   installed counterparts.

     UNPRIVED      If defined, `make install' will not attempt to set the
                   ownership or permissions of the target file, and will
                   instead attempt to log the information to
                   ${DESTDIR}/METALOG.
