build.sh: Cross-building NetBSD
نویسندگان
چکیده
NetBSD has a cross build infrastructure which allows cross-building of an entire NetBSD release including bootable distribution media. The build process does not require root privileges or writable source directories. The build process works on many POSIX compatible operating systems. This paper explains the changes made to NetBSD to enable this build process, enumerates benefits of the work, and introduces future work enabling cross building of any software for NetBSD.

متن کاملPorting NetBSD/evbarm to the Arcom Viper
NetBSD is best and foremost known for its portability. This paper examines that claim in the light of porting NetBSD to an ARM XScale-based single-board computer. The paper starts with a general discussion on NetBSD code organization and how the code is divided into parts dependent and independent of the underlying hardware. After this the porting effort is investigated in more detail, outlinin...
متن کاملOperating System Benchmarking in the Wake of Lmbench: A Case Study of the Performance of NetBSD on the Intel x86 Architecture
The lmbench suite of operating system microbenchmarks provides a set of portable programs for use in cross-platform comparisons. We have augmented the lmbench suite to increase its flexibility and precision, and to improve its methodological and statistical operation. This enables the detailed study of interactions between the operating system and the hardware architecture. We describe modifica...
متن کاملThe Design and Implementation of the NetBSD rc.d System
In this paper I cover the design and implementation of the rc.d system start-up mechanism in NetBSD 1.5, which replaced the monolithic /etc/rc start-up file inherited from 4.4BSD. Topics covered include a history of various UNIX start-up mechanisms (including NetBSD prior to 1.5), design considerations that evolved over six years of discussions, implementation details, an examination of the hum...
