pkgsrc/devel/bmake/files/README
reed 01eb413282 Keep the bmake source in pkgsrc/devel/bmake/files/.
The plan is to remove the out-of-date source from bootstrap/bmake.
Sources obtained from ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/sjg/.
Source is kept in files/ for bootstrap purposes (to be done).

Update to version bmake-20051002. Changes include:

        * Makefile.in (BMAKE_VERSION): bump to 20051001
          support for UnixWare and some other systems,
          based on patches from pkgsrc/bootstrap

Remove DEPENDS for mk-files (as mentioned on tech-pkg in June).

Use libnbcompat. Also patch-aa is to use libnbcompat.
(I chose to use patches so files would be exact from original source
tarball.)

And use PKGMANDIR.

bmake
This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD)
I have run it on SunOS,Solaris,HP-UX,AIX,IRIX,FreeBSD and Linux.
Version 3 was re-worked from scratch to better facilitate
importing newer make(1) versions from NetBSD. The original code base
was NetBSD-1.0, so version 3 was built by doing a fresh import of the
NetBSD-1.0 usr.bin/make, adding the autoconf and other portability
patches to sync it with bmake v2, and then NetBSD's make
of Feb 20, 2000 was imported and conflicts dealt with.
NetBSD's make was again imported on June 6 and December 15, 2000.
In 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 prefered 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.
To make much use of bmake you will need the bsd.*.mk macros or my
portable *.mk macros. See
http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bsd-mk.tar.gz
http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz
which will be links to the latest versions.
On a non-BSD system, you would want to unpack mk[-YYYYmmdd].tar.gz in
the same directory as bmake (so ./mk and ./bmake exist), and
./bmake/boot-strap will do the rest.
If you want to do it all by hand then read boot-strap first to get the
idea.
Even if you have an earlier version of bmake installed, use boot-strap
to ensure that all goes well.
