.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
.Op Fl p
|
|
.Ar system-name
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This is the new version of the
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
program.
|
|
It understands the more modern autoconfiguration scheme
|
|
used on the SPARC and i386 platforms.
|
|
The old version of config is still used with the
|
|
HP300, DECstation, and derivative platforms.
|
|
Only the version of
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
applicable to the architecture that you are running
|
|
will be installed on your machine.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Config
|
|
builds a set of configuration files from the file
|
|
.Ar system-name ,
|
|
which describes
|
|
the system to configure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Config
|
|
should run from the
|
|
.Pa conf
|
|
subdirectory of the top-level machine-specific directory
|
|
of the system source (usually
|
|
.Pa /sys/MACHINE/conf ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Pa MACHINE
|
|
is one of
|
|
.Pa vax ,
|
|
.Pa tahoe ,
|
|
.Pa hp300 ,
|
|
and so forth).
|
|
.Nm Config
|
|
assumes the directory
|
|
.Pa ../../compile
|
|
exists; it places all output files in a subdirectory there,
|
|
creating the subdirectory if necessary.
|
|
The subdirectory name is taken from the
|
|
.Ar system-name ;
|
|
thus, configuring with
|
|
.Dq Li config PICKLE
|
|
will use the directory
|
|
.Pa ../../compile/PICKLE .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option is supplied,
|
|
.Pa .PROF
|
|
is appended to the compilation directory name, and
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
acts as if the lines
|
|
.Dq Li makeoptions PROF="-pg"
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li options GPROF
|
|
appeared in the configuration file.
|
|
This will build a system that includes profiling code; see
|
|
.Xr kgmon 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr gprof 1 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag is expected to be used for
|
|
.Dq one-shot
|
|
profiles of existing systems;
|
|
for regular profiling,
|
|
it is probably wiser to make a separate configuration
|
|
containing the
|
|
.Li makeoptions
|
|
line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The old undocumented
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
flag is no longer supported.
|
|
Instead, use
|
|
.Dq Li makeoptions DEBUG="-g"
|
|
and (typically)
|
|
.Dq Li options KGDB .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output of
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
consists of a number of files, principally
|
|
.Pa ioconf.c ,
|
|
a description of I/O devices that may be attached to the system; and a
|
|
.Pa Makefile ,
|
|
used by
|
|
.Xr make 1
|
|
in building the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After running
|
|
.Nm config ,
|
|
it is wise to run
|
|
.Dq Li make depend
|
|
in the directory where the new makefile
|
|
was created.
|
|
.Nm Config
|
|
prints a reminder of this when it completes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
stops due to errors, the problems reported should be corrected and
|
|
.Nm config
|
|
should be run again.
|
|
.Nm Config
|
|
attempts to avoid changing the compilation directory
|
|
if there are configuration errors,
|
|
but this code is not well-tested,
|
|
and some problems (such as running out of disk space)
|
|
are unrecoverable.
