25 This directory contains the tools used to do a full build of the
26 OS/Net workspace. They usually live in the /opt/onbld directory on build
27 machines. From here, 'make install' will build and install the tools
34 contains Solaris ABI database (ABI_*.db) and exceptions
35 for ABI Auditing tool (interface_check, interface_cmp).
38 basic bin directory - contains scripts.
40 /opt/onbld/bin/${MACH}
41 architecture-specific bin directory for binaries.
44 build environment files.
47 libraries used by the build tools.
49 /opt/onbld/lib/python<version>/
50 python modules used by the build tools.
52 /opt/onbld/lib/python/
53 symlink to the modules directory of the currently preferred
57 rudimentary man pages for some of the tools.
64 companion to 'nightly.' Takes the same environment file you
65 used with 'nightly,' and starts a shell with the environment
66 set up the same way as 'nightly' set it up. This is useful
67 if you're trying to quickly rebuild portions of a workspace
68 built by 'nightly'. 'ws' should not be used for this since it
69 sets the environment up differently and may cause everything
70 to rebuild (because of different -I or -L paths).
73 checks ELF attributes used by ELF dynamic objects in the proto area.
74 Used by 'nightly's -r option, to check a number of ELF runtime
75 attributes for consistency with common build rules. nightly uses
76 the -o option to simplify the output for diffing with previous
77 build results. It also uses the -i option to obtain NEEDED and RUNPATH
78 entries, which help detect changes in software dependencies and makes
79 sure objects don't have any strange runpaths like /opt/SUNWspro/lib.
82 Given two filenames, creates a postscript file with the file
83 differences highlighted.
86 Checks that files have appropriate SMI copyright notices.
90 checks C source for compliance with OS/Net guidelines.
93 Convert symbolic debugging information in an object file to the Compact
94 ANSI-C Type Format (CTF).
97 Decode and display CTF data stored in a raw file or in an ELF file.
100 Merge the CTF data from one or more object files.
103 Compares two ELF modules (e.g. .o files, executables) section by
104 section. Useful for determining whether "trivial" changes -
105 cstyle, lint, etc - actually changed the code. The -S option
106 is used to test whether two binaries are the same except for
107 the elfsign signature.
110 Search a directory tree for ELF objects, and produce one line of
111 output per object. Used by check_rtime and interface_check to locate
112 the objects to examine.
115 checks headers for compliance with OS/Net standards (form, includes,
119 detects and reports invalid versioning in ELF objects.
120 Optionally generates an interface description file for
124 Compares two interface description files, as produced by
125 interface_check, and flags invalid deviations in ELF object
126 versioning between them. interface_cmp can be used between Solaris
127 gates to ensure that older releases remain compatible with the
128 development gate. It can also be used to validate new changes to
129 the development gate before they are integrated.
132 Network Data Language (NDL) RPC protocol compiler to support DCE
133 RPC/MSRPC and SMB/CIFS. ndrgen takes an input protocol definition
134 file (say, proto.ndl) and generates an output C source file
135 (proto_ndr.c) containing the Network Data Representation (NDR)
136 marshalling routines to implement the RPC protocol.
139 nightly build script. Takes an environment (or 'env') file describing
140 such things as the workspace, the parent, and what to build. See
141 env/developer and env/gatekeeper for sample, hopefully well-commented
145 compares proto lists and the package definitions. Used by nightly
146 to determine if the proto area matches the packages, and to detect
147 differences between a childs proto area and a parents.
150 transforms the output of protocmp into something a bit more friendly
153 create a list of what's in the proto area, to feed to protocmp.
157 creates a shell with the environment set up to build in the given
158 workspace. Used mostly for non-full-build workspaces, so it sets up
159 to pull headers and libraries from the proto area of the parent if
160 they aren't in the childs proto area.
163 Used to build the sun4u boot block.
166 Generates a set of HTML pages that show side-by-side diffs of
167 changes in your workspace, for easy communication of code
168 review materials. Can automatically find edited files or use a
169 manually-generated list.
172 Detect object differences between two ON proto areas. Used by
173 nightly(1) to determine what changed between two builds. Handy
174 for identifying the set of built objects impacted by a given
175 source change. This information is needed for patch construction.
178 How to do a full build
179 ----------------------
181 1. Find an environment file that might do what you want to do. If you're just
182 a developer wanting to do a full build in a child of the gate, copy the
183 'developer' environment file to a new name (private to you and/or the
184 work being done in this workspace, to avoid collisions with others). Then
185 edit the file and tailor it to your workspace. Remember that this file
186 is a shell script, so it can do more than set environment variables.
188 2. Run 'nightly' and give it your environment file as an
189 option. 'nightly' will first look for your environment file in
190 /opt/onbld/env, and if it's not there then it will look for it as an
191 absolute or relative path. Some people put their environment files in
192 their workspace to keep them close.
194 3. When 'nightly' is complete, it will send a summary of what happened to
195 $MAILTO. Usually, the less info in the mail the better. If you have failures,
196 you can go look at the full log of what happened, generally in
197 $SRCTOP/log/log.<date>/nightly.log (the mail_msg it sent and the proto
198 list are there too). You can also find the individual build logs, like
199 'make clobber' and 'make install' output in $SRC, under names like
200 clobber-${MACH}.out and install-${MACH}.out (for a DEBUG build). These
201 will be smaller than nightly.log, and maybe more searchable.
203 Files you have to update to add a tool
204 --------------------------------------
206 1. Add the tool in its appropriate place.
207 2. Update the Makefile as required.
208 3. Update usr/src/pkg/manifests/developer-build-onbld.mf
209 4. Update usr/src/tools/README.tools (this file).
210 5. Repeat 1-4 for any man pages.
