33.Os
34.Dt COMPILERS.CONF 5
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm compilers.conf
37.Nd configuration file for external compilers
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Pa /etc/compilers.conf
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43file allows to configure
44.Dq external
45compilers for usage with the
46.Dx
47.Xr build 7
48system.
49.Pp
50The
51.Pa /etc/defaults/compilers.conf
52file specifies the default settings for all variables, the
53.Pa /etc/compilers.conf
54file specifies override settings.
55.Pp
56The following variables are available:
57.Bl -tag -width ".Va <version>_CPPFLAGS"
58.It Va <version>_CC
59The pathname of the
60.Nm cc
61program of the compiler.
62.It Va <version>_CFLAGS
63Any additional flags to pass to
64.Va <version>_CC .
65.It Va <version>_CPP
66The pathname of the
67.Nm cpp
68program of the compiler.
69.It Va <version>_CPPFLAGS
70Any additional flags to pass to
71.Va <version>_CPP .
72.It Va <version>_CXX
73The pathname of the
74.Nm c++
75program of the compiler.
76.It Va <version>_CXXFLAGS
77Any additional flags to pass to
78.Va <version>_CXX .
79.It Va <version>_VERSION
80What to output when the
81.Fl dumpversion
82option is used.
83This helps
84.Nm clang
85with
86.Xr pkgsrc 7 .
87.El
88.Pp
89Once configured the compiler can then be used like this:
90.Bd -literal -offset indent
91env CCVER=clang make
92.Ed
93.Pp
94To build world and kernel, use the following instructions:
95.Bd -literal -offset indent
96cd /usr/src
97fetch http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~swildner/world_clang.diff
98patch -p1 <world_clang.diff
99env WORLD_CCVER=clang make -DNO_GCC44 buildworld
100env WORLD_CCVER=clang make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYCONF
101.Ed
102.Pp
103Currently, defaults are provided for
104.Nm clang
105(installed from
106.Xr pkgsrc 7 Ap s
107.Pa lang/clang ),
108.Nm clangsvn
109(installed from SVN trunk as described in
110.Pa http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html )
111and
112.Nm gcc46
113(installed from
114.Xr pkgsrc 7 Ap s
115.Pa lang/gnat-aux ) .
116.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
117In
118.Dx ,
119compilers are selected by setting the
120.Ev CCVER
121variable.
122The
123.Pa cpp ,
124.Pa cc
125etc\&. programs in
126.Pa /usr/bin
127are actually links to the
128.Xr objformat 1
129deflector program which is responsible for executing the
130correct programs (located in
131.Pa /usr/libexec/$CCVER ) .
132.Pp
133Traditionally,
134.Dx
135has 2 compilers in base, one of which is the default compiler and the other
136is either a newer or older version.
137In order to allow additional non-base compilers into
138.Dx Ap s
139build process,
140.Xr objformat 1
141deflects to
142.Pa /usr/libexec/custom
143when
144.Ev CCVER Ap s
145setting is not one of the compilers in base.
146This directory contains a
147.Pa cc
148wrapper script (and some links to it).
149The wrapper script then takes care of making the compiler look and behave
150like a compiler in base.
151.Pp
152The settings in
153.Nm
154specify paths and flags for the
155.Pa /usr/libexec/custom/cc
156script.
