This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD)
|
|
|
|
|
I have run it on SunOS,Solaris,HP-UX,AIX,IRIX,FreeBSD and Linux.

Version 3 was re-worked from scratch to better facilitate
|
|
|
|
|
importing newer make(1) versions from NetBSD. The original code base
|
|
|
|
|
was NetBSD-1.0, so version 3 was built by doing a fresh import of the
|
|
|
|
|
NetBSD-1.0 usr.bin/make, adding the autoconf and other portability
|
|
|
|
|
patches to sync it with bmake v2, and then NetBSD's make
|
|
|
|
|
of Feb 20, 2000 was imported and conflicts dealt with.
|
|
|
|
|
NetBSD's make was again imported on June 6 and December 15, 2000.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 2003 bmake switched to a date based version (first was 20030714)
|
|
|
|
|
which generally represents the date it was last merged with NetBSD's
|
|
|
|
|
make. Since then, NetBSD's make is imported within a week of any
|
|
|
|
|
interesting changes, so that bmake tracks it very closely.

The preferred way to bootstrap bmake is:
|
2012-06-08 22:57:36 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./bmake/boot-strap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
there are a number of args - most of which get passed to configure,
|
|
|
|
|
eg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./bmake/boot-strap --prefix=/opt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
see the boot-strap script for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make much use of bmake you will need the bsd.*.mk macros or my
|
|
|
|
|
portable *.mk macros. See
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
which will be links to the latest versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On a non-BSD system, you would want to unpack mk[-YYYYmmdd].tar.gz in
|
|
|
|
|
the same directory as bmake (so ./mk and ./bmake exist), and
|
|
|
|
|
./bmake/boot-strap will do the rest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to do it all by hand then read boot-strap first to get the
|
|
|
|
|
idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if you have an earlier version of bmake installed, use boot-strap
|
|
|
|
|
to ensure that all goes well.
