3 This file describes how to bootstrap the native toolchain on a new NetBSD
4 platform (and how to update the new toolchain files, if needed). These
5 files may be generated on a cross-compile host without problems.
7 NOTE: DO NOT RUN "mknative" BY HAND! It requires the Makefile in this
8 directory to set up certain environments first.
10 Since libc's features change over time, the config.h files can change as a
11 result; thus the instructions below are the same no matter whether
12 bootstrapping on a cross or native host. This is important: even on a
13 "native" host, you should bootstrap the toolchain by building from an
14 up-to-date source tree to a $DESTDIR using the exact same instructions.
16 In these notes, MACHINE is the $MACHINE of the target. These files can be
17 cross-generated. Though a $MACHINE_ARCH all uses the same config files, you
18 must pick a specific $MACHINE so that building the requisite bits below will
21 1. Set MKMAINTAINERTOOLS=yes in mk.conf. (Needed so that src/tools/gettext
22 gets built, eliciting proper HAVE_*GETTEXT* defns in config.h files.)
24 2. Build and install a cross toolchain (via "build.sh -m MACHINE tools").
26 3. In src/tools/gcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE bootstrap-libgcc".
28 This will create just enough glue in src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/libgcc/arch
29 to make it possible to build, based on the toolchain built in
31 Because the files generated in this step contain things like
32 -DCROSS_COMPILE, they are not suitable for committing. Step 8 below
33 will regenerate the "proper" libgcc config files.
36 "nbmake-MACHINE obj do-distrib-dirs MKGCC=no MKBINUTILS=no", and
37 "nbmake-MACHINE includes HAVE_GCC= MKGCC=no MKBINUTILS=no".
40 "nbmake-MACHINE dependall". and "nbmake-MACHINE install".
42 6. If the platform sets USE_COMPILERCRTSTUFF=yes, then in
43 src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/crtstuff/ do
44 "nbmake-MACHINE obj dependall install"
46 7. In src/external/gpl3/gcc/lib/libgcc, do
47 "nbmake-MACHINE obj includes dependall install".
49 8. In each of src/external/lgpl3/gmp/lib/libgmp,
50 src/external/lgpl3/mpfr/lib/libmpfr, src/external/lgpl2/mpc/lib/libmpc
51 do "nbmake-MACHINE obj includes LIBISPRIVATE=no", and
52 "nbmake-MACHINE dependall install".
54 It is important to have LIBISPRIVATE=no while doing includes as this
55 installs a header file that is not part of standard build.
58 "nbmake-MACHINE dependall install MKGCC=no".
60 Optionally, all of the following may be set in the environment to reduce
61 the amount of code needed to build at this step. Basically, it must be
62 possible for static binaries to build and base system libs to exist so
63 that "configure" can do its job for the target--these MK* options omit
64 the rest for this stage of the build.
71 10. In src/tools/gcc, do "nbmake-MACHINE native-gcc".
73 This will do a full configury in ${.OBJDIR}/.native that is a "Canadian"
74 cross toolchain (--build reflects the host platform, but --host and
75 --target are the target). The result is a tree that would build a
76 native-to-NetBSD compiler on a cross host, and mknative pulls glue data
79 11. Try out a full build using "nbmake-MACHINE"; the result should include
82 12. If all is well, commit the glue files added to src/gnu/{lib,usr.bin}/*.
