MK.CONF(5) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual MK.CONF(5)NAME
mk.conf - system-specific configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS
.include <bsd.own.mk>
DESCRIPTION
To get system-specific configuration parameters, <bsd.own.mk> will try to
include the file specified by the MAKECONF variable. If MAKECONF is not
set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file
/etc/mk.conf is included, if it exists. By default, this file does not
exist, and must be created from scratch. For more information on how the
make process works, and details of the format of make files, see make(1).
<bsd.own.mk> is generally useful when building Makefiles, so that they
use the same default owners, etc. as the rest of the tree. These files
may define any of the variables described below. Additionally, see
bsd.port.mk(5) for a list of variables that can be set by the ports(7)
subsystem.
VARIABLES
The following variables are set by <bsd.own.mk>, if they are not already
defined. Defaults are in brackets.
BINGRP Binary group. [bin]
BINMODE Binary mode. [555]
BINOWN Binary owner. [root]
BSDOBJDIR The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
will work correctly. [/usr/obj]
BSDSRCDIR The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
will work correctly. [/usr/src]
DIRMODE Mode for new directories. [755]
DOCDIR Base path for system documentation installation.
[/usr/share/doc]
DOCGRP Documentation group. [bin]
DOCMODE Documentation mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
DOCOWN Documentation owner. [root]
INSTALL_COPY The old usage of this flag is obsolescent, since
install(1) now copies by default. However, it can also be
used to specify that a file not be copied unless it is
different (via the -p option). See install(1) for
details. This is to be used when building an install
script so that the entire system can either be installed
with copies, or copy-if-different using a single knob.
[-c]
INSTALL_STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
to be stripped. This is to be used when building an
install script so that the entire system can be made
stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. Note that
INSTALL_STRIP is not set if ${DEBUG} is defined. [-s]
LIBDIR Base path for library installation. [/usr/lib]
LIBGRP Library group. [${BINGRP}]
LIBMODE Library mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
LIBOWN Library owner. [${BINOWN}]
LINTLIBDIR Base path for lint(1) library installation.
[/usr/libdata/lint]
MANDIR Base path for manual installation. [/usr/share/man/cat]
MANGRP Manual group. [bin]
MANMODE Manual mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
MANOWN Manual owner. [root]
NLSDIR Base path for National Language Support files
installation. [/usr/share/nls]
NLSGRP National Language Support files group. [bin]
NLSMODE National Language Support files mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
NLSOWN National Language Support files owner. [root]
NONBINMODE Mode for non-executable files. [444]
XOBJDIR The real path to the 'obj' tree for building the X Window
System. [/usr/xobj]
XSRCDIR The real path to the X Window System sources.
[/usr/xenocara]
ADDITIONAL VARIABLES
Additionally, the following variables may be set by <bsd.own.mk> or in a
make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
<bsd.own.mk>):
DEBUG Add -g to assembly, C compiler and linking passes.
Also doesn't set INSTALL_STRIP to -s per default
if defined.
DEBUGLIBS Create libraries with -g debug information, and
install them in /usr/lib/debug.
GLOBAL_AUTOCONF_CACHE Set to the name of a file that all cached GNU
autoconf test results will be saved in. Reduces
redundant tests. Be careful! Redundant tests may
not be redundant when installing substantially
updated GNU programs.
MANPS Define to have PostScript manual pages generated.
Use for BSDSRCDIR only.
MANZ Compress manual pages at installation time.
NOPIC Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
do not build shared libraries.
NOPROFILE Do not build profiled versions of system
libraries.
PIPE If set to "-pipe", gcc(1) will be given the -pipe
option which can speed up compiles on machines
with memory to spare. Instead of using temp
files, gcc(1) uses pipes for the temporary data.
SKEY Compile in support for S/key authentication.
[yes; set unconditionally]
SKIPDIR A space separated list of directories, relative to
BSDSRCDIR, to be skipped during "make build".
SUDO Command run by make(1) when doing certain
operations requiring root privileges (e.g. the
"make install" portion of "make build"). If set
to /usr/bin/sudo, this allows one to run "make
build" as a user other than root (assuming sudo is
set up for that user).
SYS_INCLUDE Copy or symlink kernel include files into
/usr/include. Possible values are "symlinks" or
"copies" (which is the same as the variable being
unset).
WANTLINT Build lint libraries. [no]
WARNINGS Adds appropriate warning flags (defined in
CDIAGFLAGS, e.g. -Wall...) to compiles. [no]
XENOCARA_BUILD_DRI Build X with Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI)
support, providing some hardware acceleration.
This is on by default for amd64/i386
architectures.
XENOCARA_RERUN_AUTOCONF
Forces X builds to re-run automake and autoconf in
each module before configuring them. This option
requires that the automake, autoconf and libtool
packages are installed. [no]
FILES
/etc/mk.conf System make configuration file.
/usr/share/mk/* System include make files.
