Intersting/relevant changes since bmake-20260313 ChangeLog since bmake-20260313 2026-05-08 Simon J Gerraty <[email protected]> * VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20260508 Merge with NetBSD make, pick up o make.1: fix description of '-' handling in jobs-mod by intenting it correctly. 2026-04-13 Simon J Gerraty <[email protected]> * VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20260406 Merge with NetBSD make, pick up o cleanup unnecessary parens * configure.in: add --with-save-dollars to control default for .MAKE.SAVE.DOLLARS - address FreeBSD PR 294436 mk/ChangeLog since bmake-20260313 2026-05-09 Simon J Gerraty <[email protected]> * gendirdeps.mk: also apply ':S,/$,,' and ':C,/(\.[^.]*)$,\1,' when setting DIRDEPS prior to saving. * dirdeps.mk: when debugging it is handy to be able to skip recursing so if DEBUG_DIRDEPS contains 'norecurse' we will only process the immediate DIRDEPS. Also if DEBUG_DIRDEPS contains '-V' we process sections normally skipped when doing 'make -V'. o ensure we do not get duplicate build dirs due to someone adding a trailing '/' or '/.${TARGET_SPEC}' to a DIRDEPS entry. Add ':S,/$,,' when setting '__depdirs' and add ':C,/(\.[^.]*)$,\1,' when setting '__qual_depdirs'. 2026-04-24 Simon J Gerraty <[email protected]> * install-mk (MK_VERSION): 20260424 * Use MK_META_AUTODEP to control use of meta.autodep.mk so it can be used independently of MK_DIRDEPS_BUILD for bootstrapping. * sys.vars.mk (M_type): use :sh rather than :sh1 to avoid surprises in a .for loop.
bmake ***** This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD). Since 1993 I have run it on AIX, BSDi, Darwin, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Minix, OSF, Solaris, SunOS and even UTS. Others have run it on many more systems. Currently each release is tested on Darwin, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux. Since 2003 bmake switched to a date based version (first was 20030714) which generally represents the date it was last merged with NetBSD's make. Since then, NetBSD's make is imported within a week of any *interesting* changes, so that bmake tracks it very closely. Building ======== The preferred way to bootstrap bmake is:: ./bmake/boot-strap there are a number of args - most of which get passed to configure, eg. :: ./bmake/boot-strap --prefix=/opt see the boot-strap script for details. For folk that hate to read anything, since 20121212 you can also use the GNU standard process of:: ./configure; make; make install This will *not* work on Darwin or any other system with a case insensitive filesystem. It depends on a generated ``makefile`` which is disabled by default on Darwin. To make much use of bmake you will need the bsd.*.mk macros or my portable *.mk macros which are included with bmake since 20121212 and separately available from https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz both that and https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bmake.tar.gz will be links to the latest versions. Porting ======= If you encounter a system that bmake does not build or work on *out of the box*, I welcome patches. Even a report of unit tests which fail is appreciated. If you can provide access to a suitable machine - even better. More info can be found at https://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.htm --sjg <[email protected]>
