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 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. + +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/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. + +--sjg |
