Dependencies

Generating the configure script requires a few dependencies:

• autoconf (>= 2.52, for extra portability version 2.52 should be used, as later versions make more assumptions about the host)

Bootstrap

# Generate the configure script.
./autogen.sh

# Configure bmk and generate a config.mk file.
./configure [--prefix=/usr/local]

# Build bmk.
make

# Install bmk.
make install

Building without Autoconf

bmk can be built without autoconf, but this requires writing your own config.h and config.mk. This might be necessary on platforms that are too broken to run a configure script, such as Minix-vmd.

Regularly Tested Platforms (CI)

• amd64-openbsd
• amd64-freebsd
• amd64-netbsd
• amd64-alpine-linux
• arm64-macos

Other Platforms, which have been tested at some point

• pdp11-bsd211
• powerpc64-freebsd
• hppa-netbsd
• hppa-openbsd
• Minix-vmd (i486) (configure broken)
• XENIX 2.3.4

TODO

• create CI for 2.11BSD
