+This directory contains some macro's derrived from the NetBSD bsd.*.mk
+macros. They have the same names but without the bsd., separate macro
+files are needed to ensure we can make them do what we want for
+builing things outside of /usr/src. Nearly all the comments below
+apply.

+# @(#)bsd.README 5.1 (Berkeley) 5/11/90
+
+This is the README file for the new make "include" files for the BSD
+source tree. The files are installed in /usr/share/mk, and are, by
+convention, named with the suffix ".mk".
+
+Note, this file is not intended to replace reading through the .mk
+files for anything tricky.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
+
+The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
+you'd expect. The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
+used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
+
+One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
+of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile. The reason for
+this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
+values of variables set in the Makefile. To make this work, remember that
+the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
+
+ a:
+ echo a
+ a:
+ echo a number two
+
+the command "make a" will echo "a". To make things confusing, the SECOND
+variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
+
+ a= foo
+ a= bar
+
+ b:
+ echo ${a}
+
+the command "make b" will echo "bar". This is for compatibility with the
+way the V7 make behaved.
+
+It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
+multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier split up the
+programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from making
+the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switch to a new version
+of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple
+architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff. (Imake doesn't
+count.)
+
+The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
+for the source files. This file is read automatically by make after reading
+the Makefile.
+
+The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change
+the tree where the file gets installed.
+
+The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
+the regular libraries. A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
+object.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <sys.mk> has the default rules for all makes, in the BSD
+environment or otherwise. You probably don't want to touch this file.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <bsd.man.mk> handles installing manual pages and their
+links.
+
+It has a single target:
+
+ maninstall:
+ Install the manual pages and their links.
+
+It sets/uses the following variables:
+
+MANDIR Base path for manual installation.
+
+MANGRP Manual group.
+
+MANOWN Manual owner.
+
+MANMODE Manual mode.
+
+MANSUBDIR Subdirectory under the manual page section, i.e. "/vax"
+ or "/tahoe" for machine specific manual pages.
+
+MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
+
+MLINKS List of manual page links (using a .1 - .9 suffix). The
+ linked-to file must come first, the linked file second,
+ and there may be multiple pairs. The files are soft-linked.
+
+The include file <bsd.man.mk> includes a file named "../Makefile.inc" if
+it exists.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <bsd.own.mk> contains source tree configuration parameters,
+such as the owners, groups, etc. for both manual pages and binaries, and
+a few global "feature configuration" parameters.
+
+It has no targets.
+
+To get system-specific configuration parameters, bsd.own.mk will try to
+include the file specified by the "MAKECONF" variable. If MAKECONF is not
+set, or no such file exists, the system make configuration file, /etc/mk.conf
+is included. These files may define any of the variables described below.
+
+bsd.own.mk sets the following variables, if they are not already defined
+(defaults are in brackets):
+
+BSDSRCDIR The real path to the system sources, so that 'make obj'
+ will work correctly. [/usr/src]
+
+BSDOBJDIR The real path to the system 'obj' tree, so that 'make obj'
+ will work correctly. [/usr/obj]
+
+BINGRP Binary group. [bin]
+
+BINOWN Binary owner. [bin]
+
+BINMODE Binary mode. [555]
+
+NONBINMODE Mode for non-executable files. [444]
+
+MANDIR Base path for manual installation. [/usr/share/man/cat]
+
+MANGRP Manual group. [bin]
+
+MANOWN Manual owner. [bin]
+
+MANMODE Manual mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
+
+LIBDIR Base path for library installation. [/usr/lib]
+
+LINTLIBDIR Base path for lint(1) library installation. [/usr/libdata/lint]
+
+LIBGRP Library group. [${BINGRP}]
+
+LIBOWN Library owner. [${BINOWN}]
+
+LIBMODE Library mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
+
+DOCDIR Base path for system documentation (e.g. PSD, USD, etc.)
+ installation. [/usr/share/doc]
+
+DOCGRP Documentation group. [bin]
+
+DOCOWN Documentation owner. [bin]
+
+DOCMODE Documentation mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
+
+NLSDIR Base path for National Language Support files installation.
+ [/usr/share/nls]
+
+NLSGRP National Language Support files group. [bin]
+
+NLSOWN National Language Support files owner. [bin]
+
+NLSMODE National Language Support files mode. [${NONBINMODE}]
+
+STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
+ to be stripped. This is to be used when building your
+ own install script so that the entire system can be made
+ stripped/not-stripped using a single knob. [-s]
+
+COPY The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
+ to be copied rather than moved. This is to be used when
+ building our own install script so that the entire system
+ can either be installed with copies, or with moves using
+ a single knob. [-c]
+
+Additionally, the following variables may be set by bsd.own.mk or in a
+make configuration file to modify the behaviour of the system build
+process (default values are in brackets along with comments, if set by
+bsd.own.mk):
+
+EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM
+ Do not build /usr/src/domestic, even if it is present.
+
+SKEY Compile in support for S/key authentication. [yes, set
+ unconditionally]
+
+KERBEROS Compile in support for Kerberos 4 authentication.
+
+KERBEROS5 Compile in support for Kerberos 5 authentication.
+
+MANZ Compress manual pages at installation time.
+
+SYS_INCLUDE Copy or symlink kernel include files into /usr/include.
+ Possible values are "symlinks" or "copies" (which is
+ the same as the variable being unset).
+
+NOPROFILE Do not build profiled versions of system libraries
+
+NOPIC Do not build PIC versions of system libraries, and
+ do not build shared libraries. [set if ${MACHINE_ARCH}
+ is "mips", "vax", "alpha" or "arm32", unset otherwise.]
+
+NOLINT Do not build lint libraries. [set, set unconditionally]
+
+bsd.own.mk is generally useful when building your own Makefiles so that
+they use the same default owners etc. as the rest of the tree.

+
+The include file <bsd.prog.mk> handles building programs from one or
+more source files, along with their manual pages. It has a limited number
+of suffixes, consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
+
+It has eight targets:
+
+ all:
+ build the program and its manual page
+ clean:
+ remove the program, any object files and the files a.out,
+ Errs, errs, mklog, and core.
+ cleandir:
+ remove all of the files removed by the target clean, as
+ well as .depend, tags, and any manual pages.
+ depend:
+ make the dependencies for the source files, and store
+ them in the file .depend.
+ includes:
+ install any header files.
+ install:
+ install the program and its manual pages; if the Makefile
+ does not itself define the target install, the targets
+ beforeinstall and afterinstall may also be used to cause
+ actions immediately before and after the install target
+ is executed.
+ lint:
+ run lint on the source files
+ tags:
+ create a tags file for the source files.
+
+It sets/uses the following variables:
+
+BINGRP Binary group.
+
+BINOWN Binary owner.
+
+BINMODE Binary mode.
+
+CLEANFILES Additional files to remove for the clean and cleandir targets.
+
+COPTS Additional flags to the compiler when creating C objects.
+
+HIDEGAME If HIDEGAME is defined, the binary is installed in
+ /usr/games/hide, and a symbolic link is created to
+ /usr/games/dm.
+
+LDADD Additional loader objects. Usually used for libraries.
+ For example, to load with the compatibility and utility
+ libraries, use:
+
+ LDADD+=-lutil -lcompat
+
+LDFLAGS Additional loader flags.
+
+LINKS The list of binary links; should be full pathnames, the
+ linked-to file coming first, followed by the linked
+ file. The files are hard-linked. For example, to link
+ /bin/test and /bin/[, use:
+
+ LINKS= ${DESTDIR}/bin/test ${DESTDIR}/bin/[
+
+MAN Manual pages (should end in .1 - .9). If no MAN variable is
+ defined, "MAN=${PROG}.1" is assumed.
+
+PROG The name of the program to build. If not supplied, nothing
+ is built.
+
+SRCS List of source files to build the program. If PROG is not
+ defined, it's assumed to be ${PROG}.c.
+
+DPADD Additional dependencies for the program. Usually used for
+ libraries. For example, to depend on the compatibility and
+ utility libraries use:
+
+ DPADD+=${LIBCOMPAT} ${LIBUTIL}
+
+ The following libraries are predefined for DPADD:
+
+ LIBC /lib/libc.a
+ LIBCOMPAT /usr/lib/libcompat.a
+ LIBCRYPT /usr/lib/libcrypt.a
+ LIBCURSES /usr/lib/libcurses.a
+ LIBDBM /usr/lib/libdbm.a
+ LIBDES /usr/lib/libdes.a
+ LIBL /usr/lib/libl.a
+ LIBKDB /usr/lib/libkdb.a
+ LIBKRB /usr/lib/libkrb.a
+ LIBKVM /usr/lib/libkvm.a
+ LIBM /usr/lib/libm.a
+ LIBMP /usr/lib/libmp.a
+ LIBPC /usr/lib/libpc.a
+ LIBPLOT /usr/lib/libplot.a
+ LIBRPC /usr/lib/sunrpc.a
+ LIBTERM /usr/lib/libterm.a
+ LIBUTIL /usr/lib/libutil.a
+
+SHAREDSTRINGS If defined, a new .c.o rule is used that results in shared
+ strings, using xstr(1). Note that this will not work with
+ parallel makes.
+
+STRIP The flag passed to the install program to cause the binary
+ to be stripped.
+
+SUBDIR A list of subdirectories that should be built as well.
+ Each of the targets will execute the same target in the
+ subdirectories.
+
+The include file <bsd.prog.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
+if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
+
+Some simple examples:
+
+To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.1, use:
+
+ PROG= foo
+
+ .include <bsd.prog.mk>
+
+To build foo from foo.c with a manual page foo.2, add the line:
+
+ MAN= foo.2
+
+If foo does not have a manual page at all, add the line:
+
+ NOMAN= noman
+
+If foo has multiple source files, add the line:
+
+ SRCS= a.c b.c c.c d.c
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <bsd.subdir.mk> contains the default targets for building
+subdirectories. It has the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all,
+clean, cleandir, depend, includes, install, lint, and tags. For all of
+the directories listed in the variable SUBDIRS, the specified directory
+will be visited and the target made. There is also a default target which
+allows the command "make subdir" where subdir is any directory listed in
+the variable SUBDIRS.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <bsd.sys.mk> is used by <bsd.prog.mk> and
+<bsd.lib.mk>. It contains overrides that are used when building
+the NetBSD source tree. For instance, if "PARALLEL" is defined by
+the program/library Makefile, it includes a set of rules for lex and
+yacc that allow multiple lex and yacc targets to be built in parallel.
+
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+The include file <bsd.lib.mk> has support for building libraries. It has
+the same eight targets as <bsd.prog.mk>: all, clean, cleandir, depend,
+includes, install, lint, and tags. It has a limited number of suffixes,
+consistent with the current needs of the BSD tree.
+
+It sets/uses the following variables:
+
+LIB The name of the library to build.
+
+LIBDIR Target directory for libraries.
+
+LINTLIBDIR Target directory for lint libraries.
+
+LIBGRP Library group.
+
+LIBOWN Library owner.
+
+LIBMODE Library mode.
+
+LDADD Additional loader objects.
+
+MAN The manual pages to be installed (use a .1 - .9 suffix).
+
+SRCS List of source files to build the library. Suffix types
+ .s, .c, and .f are supported. Note, .s files are preferred
+ to .c files of the same name. (This is not the default for
+ versions of make.)
+
+The include file <bsd.lib.mk> includes the file named "../Makefile.inc"
+if it exists, as well as the include file <bsd.man.mk>.
+
+It has rules for building profiled objects; profiled libraries are
+built by default.
+
+Libraries are ranlib'd when made.
