https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D279530 Bug ID: 279530 Summary: Improved Build Option/src.conf Dependency Support Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: editor@callfortesting.org It is above my pay grade to say if this is a bug or feature request. FreeBSD build options have a limited notion of dependency warning, notably = if you enter a src-env.conf entry in src.conf, you quickly receive the notification: make: "/usr/src/share/mk/src.sys.mk" line 27: Option <BUILD OPTION> may onl= y be defined in /etc/src-env.conf, environment, or make argument, not <path>/src.conf. This is an appreciated time saver. Options such as WITHOUT_SYSTEM_LINKER include dependency information in src.conf(5) such as, "This option is only relevant when WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP = is set.". However, it fails without a warning, and the src.conf(5) entry for WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP reports, "To be able to build the system an alternate li= nker must be provided via XLD.". Having those as machine-mandated rather than manual-mandated dependencies w= ould be very helpful and time saving when validating the build options. It would= be nice if attempting to build with one minus the other would simply give the information in the manual page and exit, rather than continue for minutes or hours, and return an error, which can be particularly confusing when built = in parallel. Related, example syntax of "an alternative linker" would make the informati= on more actionable. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
