.Sh NAME
.Nm make.conf
.Nd system build information
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Nm
contains system-wide settings that will apply to every build using
.Xr make 1
and the standard
.Pa sys.mk
file.
This is achieved as follows:
.Xr make 1
processes the system makefile
.Pa sys.mk
before any other file by default, and
.Pa sys.mk
includes
.Nm .
.Pp
The file
.Nm
uses the standard makefile syntax.
However,
.Nm
should not specify any dependencies to
.Xr make 1 .
Instead,
.Nm
is to set
.Xr make 1
variables that control the actions of other makefiles.
.Pp
The default location of
.Nm
is
.Pa /etc/make.conf ,
though an alternative location can be specified in the
.Xr make 1
variable
.Va __MAKE_CONF .
You may need to override the location of
.Nm
if the system-wide settings are not suitable for a particular build.
For instance, setting
.Va __MAKE_CONF
to
.Pa /dev/null
effectively resets all build controls to their defaults.
.Pp
The primary purpose of
.Nm
is to control the compilation of the
.Fx
sources, documentation, and ported applications,
which are usually found in
.Pa /usr/src ,
.Pa /usr/doc ,
and
.Pa /usr/ports .
As a rule, the system administrator creates
.Nm
when the values of certain control variables need to be changed
from their defaults.
.Pp
The system build procedures occur in four broad areas:
the world, the kernel, documentation and ports.
Variables set in
.Nm
may be applicable in one, two, or all four of these areas.
In addition, control variables can be specified
for a particular build via the
.Fl D
option of
.Xr make 1
or in
.Xr environ 7 .
.Pp
The following lists provide a name and short description for each
variable you can use during the indicated builds.
The values of
variables flagged as
.Vt bool
are ignored; the variable being
set at all (even to
.Dq Li FALSE
or
.Dq Li NO )
causes it to
be treated as if it were set.
.Pp
The following list provides a name and short description for variables
that are used for all builds, or are used by the
.Pa makefiles
for things other than builds.
.Bl -tag -width Ar
.It Va ALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE
.Pq Vt bool
Instructs the top-level makefile in the source tree (normally
.Pa /usr/src )
to always check if
.Xr make 1
is up-to-date.
Normally this is only done for the world and buildworld targets to handle
upgrades from older versions of
.Fx .
.It Va CFLAGS
.Pq Vt str
Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code.
Optimization levels other than
.Fl O
and
.Fl O2
are not supported.
.Va BDECFLAGS
is provided as a set of
.Xr gcc 1
settings suggested by
.An "Bruce Evans" Aq bde@FreeBSD.org
for developing and testing changes.
They can be used, if set, by:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent
CFLAGS+=${BDECFLAGS}
.Ed
.It Va CPUTYPE
.Pq Vt str
Controls which processor should be targeted for generated
code.
This controls processor-specific optimizations in
certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying
the value of
.Va CFLAGS
and
.Va COPTFLAGS
to contain the appropriate optimization directive to
.Xr gcc 1 .
The automatic setting of
.Va CFLAGS
and
.Va COPTFLAGS
may be overridden using the
.Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS
and
.Va NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS
variables, respectively.
Refer to
.Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
for a list of recognized
.Va CPUTYPE

value, use
.Dq Li +=
instead of
.Dq Li = .
.It Va DOCSUPFILE
.Pq Vt str

To install only files for which the target differs or does not exist, use
.Bd -literal -offset indent
INSTALL="install -C"
.Ed
Note that some makefiles (including those in
.Pa /usr/share/mk )
may hardcode options for the supplied install command.
.It Va LOCAL_DIRS
.Pq Vt str
List any directories that should be entered when doing
make's in
.Pa /usr/src
in this variable.
.It Va MAKE_SHELL
.Pq Vt str
Controls the shell used internally by
.Xr make 1
to process the command scripts in makefiles.
.Xr sh 1 ,
.Xr ksh 1 ,
and
.Xr csh 1
all currently supported.
.Pp
.Dl "MAKE_SHELL?=sh"
.It Va MTREE_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS
.Pq Vt str
Set this to
.Dq Fl L
to cause
.Xr mtree 8
to follow symlinks.
.It Va NO_CPU_CFLAGS
.Pq Vt str
Setting this variable will prevent CPU specific compiler flags
from being automatically added to

.Ss "BUILDING THE KERNEL"
The following list provides a name and short description for variables
that are only used doing a kernel build:
.Bl -tag -width Ar
.It Va BOOTWAIT
.Pq Vt int
Controls the amount of time the kernel waits for a console keypress
before booting the default kernel.
The value is approximately milliseconds.
Keypresses are accepted by the BIOS before booting from disk,
making it possible to give custom boot parameters even when this is
set to 0.
.It Va COPTFLAGS

Controls the compiler settings when building the
kernel.
Optimization levels above
.Oo Fl O ( O2 , No ...\& ) Oc
are not guaranteed to work.
.It Va KERNCONF
.Pq Vt str
Controls which kernel configurations will be
built by
.Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel"
and installed by
.Dq Li "${MAKE} installkernel" .
For example,
.Bd -literal -offset indent
KERNCONF=MINE DEBUG GENERIC OTHERMACHINE
.Ed
.Pp
will build the kernels specified by the config files
.Pa MINE , DEBUG , GENERIC ,
and
.Pa OTHERMACHINE ,
and install the kernel specified by the config file
.Pa MINE .
It defaults to
.Pa GENERIC .
.It Va MODULES_OVERRIDE
.Pq Vt str
Set to a list of modules to build instead of all of them.
.It Va NO_KERNELCLEAN
.Pq Vt bool
Set this to skip running
.Dq Li "${MAKE} clean"

.It Va NO_KERNELCONFIG
.Pq Vt bool
Set this to skip running
.Xr config 8
during
.Dq Li "${MAKE} buildkernel" .
.It Va NO_KERNELDEPEND

Set to not build modules with the kernel.
.It Va PORTS_MODULES
Set this to the list of ports you wish to rebuild every time the kernel
is built.
.It Va WITHOUT_MODULES
.Pq Vt str
Set to a list of modules to exclude from the build.
This provides a
somewhat easier way to exclude modules you are certain you will never
need than specifying
.Va MODULES_OVERRIDE .
This is applied
.Em after
.Va MODULES_OVERRIDE .
.El
.Ss "BUILDING THE WORLD"
The following list provides a name and short description for variables
that are used during the world build:
.Bl -tag -width Ar
.It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT
.Pq Vt str
The port address to use for the console if the boot blocks have
been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
.It Va BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
.Pq Vt int
The baud rate to use for the console if the boot blocks have
been configured to use a serial console instead of the keyboard/video card.
.It Va BOOT_PXELDR_ALWAYS_SERIAL
.Pq Vt bool
Compile in the code into
.Xr pxeboot 8
that forces the use of a serial console.
This is analogous to the
.Fl h
option in
.Xr boot 8
blocks.
.It Va BOOT_PXELDR_PROBE_KEYBOARD
.Pq Vt bool
Compile in the code into
.Xr pxeboot 8
that probes the keyboard.
If no keyboard is found, boot with the dual console configuration.
This is analogous to the
.Fl D
option in
.Xr boot 8
blocks.
.It Va ENABLE_SUID_K5SU
.Pq Vt bool
Set this if you wish to use the ksu utility.
Otherwise, it will be
installed without the set-user-ID bit set.
.It Va ENABLE_SUID_NEWGRP

.Pq Vt bool
Set this to install
.Xr ssh 1
with the set-user-ID bit turned on.
.It Va LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT
.Pq Vt bool
By default the
.Xr pxeboot 8
loader retrieves the kernel via NFS.
Defining this and recompiling
.Pa /usr/src/sys/boot
will cause it to retrieve the kernel via TFTP.
This allows
.Xr pxeboot 8

still mount the server's
.Pa /
rather than load the server's kernel.
.It Va LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT
.Pq Vt bool
Defining this and recompiling
.Pa /usr/src/sys/boot/i386
will add 
.Xr dcons 4
console driver to

and allow access over FireWire(IEEE1394) using
.Xr dconschat 8 .
Currently, only i386 and amd64 are supported.
.It Va MALLOC_PRODUCTION
.Pq Vt bool
Set this to disable assertions and statistics gathering in
.Xr malloc 3 .
It also defaults the A and J runtime options to off.
Disabled by default on -CURRENT.
.It Va MODULES_WITH_WORLD
.Pq Vt bool
Set to build modules with the system instead of the kernel.
.It Va NO_CLEAN
.Pq Vt bool
Set this to disable cleaning during
.Dq Li "make buildworld" .
This should not be set unless you know what you are doing.
.It Va NO_CLEANDIR
.Pq Vt bool
Set this to run
.Dq Li "${MAKE} clean"
instead of
.Dq Li "${MAKE} cleandir" .
.It Va NO_MANCOMPRESS
.Pq Vt bool
Set to install manual pages uncompressed.
.It Va NO_SHARE
.Pq Vt bool
Set to not build in the
.Pa share
subdir.
.It Va NO_SHARED
.Pq Vt bool
Set to build
.Pa /bin

statically linked, this can be bad.
If set, every utility that uses
.Pa bsd.prog.mk
will be linked statically.
.It Va PPP_NO_NAT
.Pq Vt bool
Build
.Xr ppp 8
without support for network address translation (NAT).
.It Va PPP_NO_NETGRAPH
.Pq Vt bool
Set to build

.Pa /etc/mail/bar.mc .
.It Va SENDMAIL_ALIASES
.Pq Vt str
List of
.Xr aliases 5
files to rebuild when using
.Pa /etc/mail/Makefile .
The default value is
.Pa /etc/mail/aliases .
.It Va SENDMAIL_CFLAGS
.Pq Vt str
Flags to pass to the compile command when building
.Xr sendmail 8 .
The
.Va SENDMAIL_*
flags can be used to provide SASL support with setting such as:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl
.Ed
.It Va SENDMAIL_CF_DIR
