MAKEK.CFG(5) BSD Reference Manual MAKEK.CFG(5)NAMEmake.cfg - system-specific configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS
.include <bsd.own.mk>
DESCRIPTION
To get system-specific configuration parameters, <bsd.own.mk> will try to
include the file specified by the MAKECONF variable. If MAKECONF is not
set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file
/etc/make.cfg is included, if it exists. For more information on how the
make process works, and details of the format of make files, see make(1).
ATTENTION: This manual page might be out of date!
<bsd.own.mk> is generally useful when building Makefiles, so that they
use the same default owners, etc. as the rest of the tree. These files
may define any of the variables described below. Additionally, see
bsd.port.mk(5) for a list of variables that can be set by the ports(7)
subsystem.
VARIABLES
The following variables are set by <bsd.own.mk>, if they are not already
defined. Defaults are in brackets.
BINGRP Binary group. [bin]
BINMODE Binary mode. [555]
BINOWN Binary owner. [root]
BSDOBJDIR The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
will work correctly. [/usr/obj]
BSDSRCDIR The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
will work correctly. [/usr/src]
DIRMODE Mode for new directories. [755]
DOCDIR Base path for system documentation (e.g. PSD, USD, etc.)
installation. [/usr/share/doc]
DOCGRP Documentation group. [bin]
DOCMODE Documentation mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
DOCOWN Documentation owner. [root]
INSTALL_COPY The old usage of this flag is obsolescent, since
install(1) now copies by default. However, it can also be
used to specify that a file not be copied unless it is
different (via the -p option). See install(1) for details.
This is to be used when building an install script so that
the entire system can either be installed with copies, or
copy-if-different using a single knob. [-c]
INSTALL_STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
to be stripped. This is to be used when building an in-
stall script so that the entire system can be made
stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. Note that
INSTALL_STRIP is not set if ${DEBUG} is defined. [-s]
LIBDIR Base path for library installation. [/usr/lib]
LIBGRP Library group. [${BINGRP}]
LIBMODE Library mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
LIBOWN Library owner. [${BINOWN}]
LINTLIBDIR Base path for lint(1) library installation.
[/usr/libdata/lint]
MANDIR Base path for manual installation. [/usr/share/man/cat]
MANGRP Manual group. [bin]
MANMODE Manual mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
MANOWN Manual owner. [root]
NONBINMODE Mode for non-executable files. [444]
BSD_PREFIX Set to something else to affect BINDIR, MANDIR, LIBDIR
etc. [/usr]
ADDITIONAL VARIABLES
Additionally, the following variables may be set by <bsd.own.mk> or in a
make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build pro-
cess (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
<bsd.own.mk>):
DEBUG Add -g to assembly, C compiler and linking passes.
Also doesn't set INSTALL_STRIP to -s per default
if defined.
DEBUGLIBS Create libraries with -g1 debug information.
NOLINT Do not build lint libraries. [yes]
NOPIC Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
do not build shared libraries.
PIPE If set to "-pipe", gcc(1) will be given the -pipe
option which can speed up compiles on machines
with memory to spare. Instead of using temp files,
gcc(1) uses pipes for the temporary data.
SKEY Compile in support for S/key authentication. [yes;
set unconditionally]
SKIPDIR A space separated list of directories to be
skipped during "make build".
SUDO Command to run when doing "make install" portion
of "make build". If set to sudo, this allows one
to run "make build" as a user other than root (as-
suming sudo is set up for that user).
SYS_INCLUDE Copy or symlink kernel include files into
/usr/include. Possible values are "symlinks" or
"copies" (which is the same as the variable being
unset).
WARNINGS Adds appropriate warning flags (defined in
CDIAGFLAGS, e.g. -Wall...) to compiles. [no]
FILES
/etc/make.cfg System make configuration file.
/usr/share/mk/* System include make files.

The make.cfg manual page first appeared in OpenBSD 3.4. A preset make.cfg
file appeared first in MirOS #1, which was made modular in MirOS #5 and
totally redesigned for MirOS #8.
