This directory contains the tools used to do a full build of the

OS/Net workspace. They usually live in the /opt/onbld directory on build

machines. From here, 'make install' will build and install the tools

in $ROOT/opt/onbld. If you like, 'make pkg' will build the SUNWonbld

package in $(PKGARCHIVE). Installing that package will populate the

/opt/onbld directory, and create a root account for building called 'gk',

which uses csh and has a home directory of /opt/onbld/gk. You can

use this account to do full builds with 'nightly'. You don't have to,

but the 'gk' account has the path setup properly, has a .make.machines

file for dmake, and has a .login that sets up for dmake.

Layout of /opt/onbld

--------------------

contains Solaris ABI database (ABI_*.db) and exceptions

for ABI Auditing tool (interface_check, interface_cmp).

basic bin directory - contains scripts.

/opt/onbld/bin/${MACH}

architecture-specific bin directory for binaries.

/opt/onbld/lib/python<version>/

python modules used by the build tools.

/opt/onbld/lib/python<version>/onbld/hgext

Mercurial extensions.

/opt/onbld/lib/python/

symlink to the modules directory of the currently preferred

python version. This exists to retain compatibility both for

tools expecting only one supported version of python, and for

user .hgrc files that expect to find cdm.py in

/opt/onbld/lib/python/onbld/hgext.

Tool Summary

------------

bldenv

companion to 'nightly.' Takes the same environment file you

used with 'nightly,' and starts a shell with the environment

set up the same way as 'nightly' set it up. This is useful

if you're trying to quickly rebuild portions of a workspace

built by 'nightly'. 'ws' should not be used for this since it

sets the environment up differently and may cause everything

to rebuild (because of different -I or -L paths).

build_cscope

builds cscope databases in the uts, the platform subdirectories

of uts, and in usr/src. Uses cscope-fast.

cdm

A Mercurial extension providing various commands useful for ON

development

check_rtime

checks ELF attributes used by ELF dynamic objects in the proto area.

Used by 'nightly's -r option, to check a number of ELF runtime

attributes for consistency with common build rules. nightly uses

the -o option to simplify the output for diffing with previous

build results. It also uses the -i option to obtain NEEDED and RUNPATH

entries, which help detect changes in software dependencies and makes

sure objects don't have any strange runpaths like /opt/SUNWspro/lib.

checkproto

Runs protocmp and protolist on a workspace (or uses the environment

variable CODEMGR_WS to determine the workspace). Checks the proto area

against the packages.

codereview

Given two filenames, creates a postscript file with the file

differences highlighted.

codesign

Tools for signing cryptographic modules using the official

Sun release keys stored on a remote signing server. This

directory contains signit, a client program for signing

files with the signing server; signproto, a shell script

that finds crypto modules in $ROOT and signs them using

signit; and codesign_server.pl, the code that runs on the

server. The codesign_server code is not used on an ON

build machine but is kept here for source control purposes.

copyrightchk

Checks that files have appropriate SMI copyright notices.

Primarily used by wx

cscope-fast

The fast version of cscope that we use internally. Seems to work,

but may need more testing before it's placed in the gate. The source

just really needs to be here.

cstyle

checks C source for compliance with OS/Net guidelines.

ctfconvert

Convert symbolic debugging information in an object file to the Compact

ANSI-C Type Format (CTF).

ctfdump

Decode and display CTF data stored in a raw file or in an ELF file.

ctfmerge

Merge the CTF data from one or more object files.

depcheck

A tool to try an assess the dependencies of executables. This tool

is not a definitive dependency check, but it does use "strings" and

"ldd" to gather as much information as it can. The dependency check

tool can handle filenames and pkgnames. Before using the dependency

checker you must build a database which reflects the properties and

files in your system.

elfcmp

Compares two ELF modules (e.g. .o files, executables) section by

section. Useful for determining whether "trivial" changes -

cstyle, lint, etc - actually changed the code. The -S option

is used to test whether two binaries are the same except for

the elfsign signature.

elfsign

Built from the same sources as the shipped elfsign(1), this

version is used in nightly -t builds to assure that the signing

process and format is the same as will be used on the target

system.

elfsigncmp

This script can be used in lieu of elfsign during a build.

It uses elfsign to sign a copy of the object and elfcmp -S to

verify that the signing caused no damage before updating

the object to be signed.

find_elf

Search a directory tree for ELF objects, and produce one line of

output per object. Used by check_rtime and interface_check to locate

the objects to examine.

findunref

Finds all files in a source tree that have access times older than a

certain time and are not in a specified list of exceptions. Since

'nightly' timestamps the start of the build, and findunref uses its

timestamp (by default), this can be used to find all files that were

unreferenced during a nightly build). Since some files are only used

during a SPARC or Intel build, 'findunref' needs to be run on

workspaces from both architectures and the results need to be merged.

For instance, if $INTELSRC and $SPARCSRC are set to the usr/src

directories of your Intel and SPARC nightly workspaces, then you

can merge the results like so:

$ findunref $INTELSRC $INTELSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \

sort > ~/unref-i386.out

$ findunref $SPARCSRC $SPARCSRC/tools/findunref/exception_list | \

sort > ~/unref-sparc.out

$ comm -12 ~/unref-i386.out ~/unref-sparc.out > ~/unref.out

hdrchk

checks headers for compliance with OS/Net standards (form, includes,

C++ guards).

hgsetup

creates a basic Mercurial configuration for the user.

hg-active

helper used by webrev to generate file lists for Mercurial

workspaces.

binary version of /usr/sbin/install. Used to be vastly faster

(since /usr/sbin/install is a shell script), but may only be a bit

faster now. One speedup includes avoiding the name service for the

well-known, never-changing password entries like 'root' and 'sys.'

interface_check

detects and reports invalid versioning in ELF objects.

Optionally generates an interface description file for

the workspace.

interface_cmp

Compares two interface description files, as produced by

interface_check, and flags invalid deviations in ELF object

versioning between them. interface_cmp can be used between Solaris

gates to ensure that older releases remain compatible with the

development gate. It can also be used to validate new changes to

the development gate before they are integrated.

lintdump

dumps the contents of one or more lint libraries; see lintdump(1)

ndrgen

Network Data Language (NDL) RPC protocol compiler to support DCE

RPC/MSRPC and SMB/CIFS. ndrgen takes an input protocol definition

file (say, proto.ndl) and generates an output C source file

(proto_ndr.c) containing the Network Data Representation (NDR)

marshalling routines to implement the RPC protocol.

nightly

nightly build script. Takes an environment (or 'env') file describing

such things as the workspace, the parent, and what to build. See

env/developer and env/gatekeeper for sample, hopefully well-commented

env files.

pmodes

enforces proper file ownership and permissions in pkgmap and package

prototype* files. converts files if necessary

protocmp

compares proto lists and the package definitions. Used by nightly

to determine if the proto area matches the packages, and to detect

differences between a childs proto area and a parents.

transforms the output of protocmp into something a bit more friendly

protolist

create a list of what's in the proto area, to feed to protocmp.

ws

creates a shell with the environment set up to build in the given

workspace. Used mostly for non-full-build workspaces, so it sets up

to pull headers and libraries from the proto area of the parent if

they aren't in the childs proto area.

tokenize

Used to build the sun4u boot block.

webrev

Generates a set of HTML pages that show side-by-side diffs of

changes in your workspace, for easy communication of code

review materials. Can automagically find edited files or use a

manually-generated list; knows how to use wx's active file for

lists of checked-out files and proposed SCCS comments.

which_scm

Reports the current Source Code Management (SCM) system in use

and the top-level directory of the workspace.

wsdiff

Detect object differences between two ON proto areas. Used by

nightly(1) to determine what changed between two builds. Handy

for identifying the set of built objects impacted by a given

source change. This information is needed for patch construction.

How to do a full build

----------------------

1. Find an environment file that might do what you want to do. If you're just

a developer wanting to do a full build in a child of the gate, copy the

'developer' environment file to a new name (private to you and/or the

work being done in this workspace, to avoid collisions with others). Then

edit the file and tailor it to your workspace. Remember that this file

is a shell script, so it can do more than set environment variables.

2. Login as 'gk' (or root, but your PATH and .make.machines for dmake will

not be right). Run 'nightly' and give it your environment file as an

option. 'nightly' will first look for your environment file in

/opt/onbld/env, and if it's not there then it will look for it as an

absolute or relative path. Some people put their environment files in

their workspace to keep them close.

3. When 'nightly' is complete, it will send a summary of what happened to

$MAILTO. Usually, the less info in the mail the better. If you have failures,

you can go look at the full log of what happened, generally in

$CODEMGR_WS/log/log.<date>/nightly.log (the mail_msg it sent and the proto

list are there too). You can also find the individual build logs, like

'make clobber' and 'make install' output in $SRC, under names like

clobber-${MACH}.out and install-${MACH}.out (for a DEBUG build). These

will be smaller than nightly.log, and maybe more searchable.

Files you have to update to add a tool

--------------------------------------

1. Add the tool in its appropriate place.

2. Update the Makefile as required.

3. Update usr/src/pkg/manifests/developer-build-onbld.mf

4. Update usr/src/tools/README.tools (this file).

5. Repeat 1-4 for any man pages.
