This is a guide to explain various useful targets in Userland component

Makefiles.  There is a set of targets that all Makefiles must include, plus

some addtional targets that are there for convenience.

component-environment-check::

  This target is an optional target that will be included in most Makefiles

  automatically.  It is defined in $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/environment.mk which is

  included by $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/shares-macros.mk.  It reports on some interesting

  information about the current environment and whether or not it is suitable

  to build, publish, or test the component.

component-environment-prep::

  This target is an optional target that will be included in most Makefiles

  automatically.  It is defined in $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/environment.mk which is

  included by $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/shares-macros.mk.  It uses the REQUIRE_PACKAGES

  macro contents to attempt to install any required packages in the current

  environment.  It should never by used by developers to update any public

  build machines as those are managed by dedicated staff.

download::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  typically defined by including $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/prep.mk in your component

  Makefile.  This target depends on your component Makefile, so changes to your

  component Makefile will automatically trigger a re-download and subsequent

  build steps that depend on it.  You can use the MAKEFILE_PREREQ macro to

  override this behaviour and avoid rebuilding with each Makefile change.  This

  macro should only be used in the calling environment via something like:

    $ gmake MAKEFILE_PREREQ= install

prep::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is 

  typically defined by including $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/prep.mk in your component

  Makefile.  It depends on the previously described "download" target, as well

  as internal interum targets to unpack source archives and apply patches to

  the unpacked source.

configure:

  This target is an optional target that can be included in component Makefiles

  to run the community source configuration phase of a component build.  It is

  typically defined in component Makefiles that make use of the

  $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/configure.mk Makefile fragment, but could be defined in

  others that include a source code configuration step.  It is not explicitly

  called during the build, but provides a convenient means of downloading,

  unpacking, patching, and "configuring" component source for building without

  actually compiling the bits.

build::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  defined in the individual component Makefiles, but most Makefile fragments

  under $(WS_MAKE_RULES) include targets that allow the definitions to depend

  on one of several convenience macros $(BUILD_32), $(BUILD_64),

  $(BUILD_32_and_64), and $(BUILD_NO_ARCH) to build 32-bit support, 64-bit

  support, both 32 and 64 bit support, or architecture neutral support.  The

  macro used will depend on the component.

install::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  defined in the individual component Makefiles, but most Makefile fragments

  under $(WS_MAKE_RULES) include targets that allow the definitions to depend

  on one of several convenience macros $(INSTALL_32), $(INSTALL_64),

  $(INSTALL_32_and_64), and $(INSTALL_NO_ARCH) to install 32-bit support, 64-bit

  support, both 32 and 64 bit support, or architecture neutral support.  The

  macro used will depend on the component and corresponds to the build target

  macro used.

pkglint::

  This target is an optional target is automatically defined in each Makefile

  by the inclusion of $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/prep.mk.  It will run the build steps

  necessary to pkglint the manifests for a component.

publish::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  often automatically defined by including $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/prep.mk.  It depends

  on the previously described 'install' target and will perform a series of

  internal, intermediate steps to use the component package manifests to

  generate and publish packages for that component.

clean::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  often automatically defined by including one of the $(WS_MAKE_RULES)

  Makefile fragments.  It cleans up any files created by building the component

  with the exception of any downloaded files.

clobber::

  This target must be present in all Makefiles.  It can be used at the top level

  to act across all components, or on an individual component basis.  It is

  often automatically defined by including one of the $(WS_MAKE_RULES)

  Makefile fragments.  It depends on the previously described 'clean' target

  and additionally cleans up any downloaded source archives.

REQUIRED_PACKAGES::

  This target is present in all component Makefiles.  It is automatically

  defined by including $(WS_MAKE_RULES)/ips.mk.  It is a convenience that can

  be used to generate the set of REQUIRED_PACKAGES that is needed by the

  'pkgdepend resolve' portion of package generation and publication (publish

  target).  It automatically appends to the component Makefile, but the results

  should be

  manually verified.
