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
54 python version. This exists to retain compatibility both for
55 tools expecting only one supported version of python, and for
56 user .hgrc files that expect to find cdm.py in
57 /opt/onbld/lib/python/onbld/hgext.
60 rudimentary man pages for some of the tools.
67 companion to 'nightly.' Takes the same environment file you
68 used with 'nightly,' and starts a shell with the environment
69 set up the same way as 'nightly' set it up. This is useful
70 if you're trying to quickly rebuild portions of a workspace
71 built by 'nightly'. 'ws' should not be used for this since it
72 sets the environment up differently and may cause everything
73 to rebuild (because of different -I or -L paths).
76 A Mercurial extension providing various commands useful for ON
80 checks ELF attributes used by ELF dynamic objects in the proto area.
81 Used by 'nightly's -r option, to check a number of ELF runtime
82 attributes for consistency with common build rules. nightly uses
83 the -o option to simplify the output for diffing with previous
84 build results. It also uses the -i option to obtain NEEDED and RUNPATH
85 entries, which help detect changes in software dependencies and makes
86 sure objects don't have any strange runpaths like /opt/SUNWspro/lib.
89 Runs protocmp and protolist on a workspace (or uses the environment
90 variable SRCTOP to determine the workspace). Checks the proto area
94 Given two filenames, creates a postscript file with the file
95 differences highlighted.
98 Checks that files have appropriate SMI copyright notices.
102 checks C source for compliance with OS/Net guidelines.
105 Convert symbolic debugging information in an object file to the Compact
106 ANSI-C Type Format (CTF).
109 Decode and display CTF data stored in a raw file or in an ELF file.
112 Merge the CTF data from one or more object files.
115 A tool to try an assess the dependencies of executables. This tool
116 is not a definitive dependency check, but it does use "strings" and
117 "ldd" to gather as much information as it can. The dependency check
118 tool can handle filenames and pkgnames. Before using the dependency
119 checker you must build a database which reflects the properties and
120 files in your system.
123 Compares two ELF modules (e.g. .o files, executables) section by
124 section. Useful for determining whether "trivial" changes -
125 cstyle, lint, etc - actually changed the code. The -S option
126 is used to test whether two binaries are the same except for
127 the elfsign signature.
130 Search a directory tree for ELF objects, and produce one line of
131 output per object. Used by check_rtime and interface_check to locate
132 the objects to examine.
135 checks headers for compliance with OS/Net standards (form, includes,
139 detects and reports invalid versioning in ELF objects.
140 Optionally generates an interface description file for
144 Compares two interface description files, as produced by
145 interface_check, and flags invalid deviations in ELF object
146 versioning between them. interface_cmp can be used between Solaris
147 gates to ensure that older releases remain compatible with the
148 development gate. It can also be used to validate new changes to
149 the development gate before they are integrated.
152 Network Data Language (NDL) RPC protocol compiler to support DCE
153 RPC/MSRPC and SMB/CIFS. ndrgen takes an input protocol definition
154 file (say, proto.ndl) and generates an output C source file
155 (proto_ndr.c) containing the Network Data Representation (NDR)
156 marshalling routines to implement the RPC protocol.
159 nightly build script. Takes an environment (or 'env') file describing
160 such things as the workspace, the parent, and what to build. See
161 env/developer and env/gatekeeper for sample, hopefully well-commented
165 enforces proper file ownership and permissions in pkgmap and package
166 prototype* files. converts files if necessary
169 compares proto lists and the package definitions. Used by nightly
170 to determine if the proto area matches the packages, and to detect
171 differences between a childs proto area and a parents.
174 transforms the output of protocmp into something a bit more friendly
177 create a list of what's in the proto area, to feed to protocmp.
181 creates a shell with the environment set up to build in the given
182 workspace. Used mostly for non-full-build workspaces, so it sets up
183 to pull headers and libraries from the proto area of the parent if
184 they aren't in the childs proto area.
187 Used to build the sun4u boot block.
190 Generates a set of HTML pages that show side-by-side diffs of
191 changes in your workspace, for easy communication of code
192 review materials. Can automatically find edited files or use a
193 manually-generated list.
196 Detect object differences between two ON proto areas. Used by
197 nightly(1) to determine what changed between two builds. Handy
198 for identifying the set of built objects impacted by a given
199 source change. This information is needed for patch construction.
202 How to do a full build
203 ----------------------
205 1. Find an environment file that might do what you want to do. If you're just
206 a developer wanting to do a full build in a child of the gate, copy the
207 'developer' environment file to a new name (private to you and/or the
208 work being done in this workspace, to avoid collisions with others). Then
209 edit the file and tailor it to your workspace. Remember that this file
210 is a shell script, so it can do more than set environment variables.
212 2. Run 'nightly' and give it your environment file as an
213 option. 'nightly' will first look for your environment file in
214 /opt/onbld/env, and if it's not there then it will look for it as an
215 absolute or relative path. Some people put their environment files in
216 their workspace to keep them close.
218 3. When 'nightly' is complete, it will send a summary of what happened to
219 $MAILTO. Usually, the less info in the mail the better. If you have failures,
220 you can go look at the full log of what happened, generally in
221 $SRCTOP/log/log.<date>/nightly.log (the mail_msg it sent and the proto
222 list are there too). You can also find the individual build logs, like
223 'make clobber' and 'make install' output in $SRC, under names like
224 clobber-${MACH}.out and install-${MACH}.out (for a DEBUG build). These
225 will be smaller than nightly.log, and maybe more searchable.
227 Files you have to update to add a tool
228 --------------------------------------
230 1. Add the tool in its appropriate place.
231 2. Update the Makefile as required.
232 3. Update usr/src/pkg/manifests/developer-build-onbld.mf
233 4. Update usr/src/tools/README.tools (this file).
234 5. Repeat 1-4 for any man pages.
