/!\ The following information may very well be incomplete and out-dated.
If you want to build the Hurd libraries and servers (translators) yourself
instead of just using pre-built binaries, follow these instructions.
One note before we begin: the likelihood that the compiled result will actually
do what you expect it to do is the highest if you try building from the Debian
source packages. This is especially true if you want to use your compilation
within a Debian system.
Note that for building code to run on GNU/Hurd systems, you need a toolchain
for the GNU Hurd. You can either compile on a GNU/Hurd system, or need a
cross-compiler targeting GNU/Hurd. Our [[toolchain page|toolchain]] has the
details.
[[!toc]]
# Preparing for the Build
## ... on Debian systems
Building the Hurd requires the *build-essential* and *fakeroot* packages, their
dependencies and additional packages that are specified by the source hurd
package:
# apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
# apt-get build-dep hurd
## ... on non-Debian systems
[TODO]
# Getting the Source Code
You can chose between getting the [sources from the developers's
git](http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=hurd):
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/hurd.git
... or (if you are working on a Debian system) the ones that are used for the
[current Debian hurd package](http://packages.debian.net/source/unstable/hurd):
$ apt-get source hurd
Please see the Debian [[FAQ]] before using `apt-get source`.
The unpacked source tree is around 20 MiB, and the build tree (configured with
`--disable-profile`) is around 100 MiB.
# Building
## Debian `.deb` Files
Change into the directory with the downloaded / unpacked Hurd sources, e.g.
$ cd hurd-VERSION
If you want to work on the sources before building them, it's advisable to
first apply the patches the Debian hurd package additionally contains:
$ debian/rules patch
Then edit and change whatever files you want and finally start the build
process with
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc -b -rfakeroot
The `.deb` packages will then drop out at the `../` directory.
## Building, but not the Debian Way
The Hurd has to be built in a separate directory:
$ mkdir hurd-build
$ cd hurd-build
$ [...]/hurd-VERSION/configure --disable-profile
$ make
$ make install
Notice that `make install` will install the Hurd in `/`, not in `/usr/local/`
or `/local/`, so your current Hurd servers will be replaced.
To install to a different location, specify `--prefix=PREFIX` as `configure`
parameter, e.g. `--prefix=/usr` (as done when having a real `/usr`).
By default profiling versions of all the libraries and code are generated but
this is useless in most of the cases, so we disable them by specifying
`--disable-profile` on `configure`'s command line.
If you just want to build a specific server or library, you can pass its name
to `make`:
$ make ext2fs
$ make libtrivfs
This will automatically build all libraries that are required to build the
requested server or library.
# RPC IDs
[TODO: update / integrate somewhere.]
If you want to trace the RPC calls made by some process by using `rpctrace`
command, you will also want some more human-readable output of this
command. This is achieved by generating `hurd.msgids` file that includes the
mapping between the number of the RPC call and its name:
$ cd build/hurd
$ make hurd.msgids
$ cp hurd.msgids ~
Now you can use this file in the following way:
$ rpctrace -i ~/hurd.msgids ls
# Testing
Any statically linked binaries (`make proc && (cd proc/ && make proc.static)`)
can be used directly, as they are self-contained regarding the Hurd libraries
they're using.
Dynamically linked binaries will use the system's shared Hurd libraries, which
may be or may not be what you want.
Check:
$ ldd utils/ps
libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 => /lib/libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 (0x01036000)
libps.so.0.3 => /lib/libps.so.0.3 (0x01038000)

/lib/ld.so => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x00001000)
Run:
$ utils/ps
[...]
For example, if you have done changes to [[libps]] and now want to test them
with `ps` (which dynamically links to libps), this is not good. To overcome
this, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` can be used:
Check:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"/libps ldd utils/ps
libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 => /lib/libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 (0x01036000)
libps.so.0.3 => /home/thomas/tmp/hurd/git.build/libps/libps.so.0.3 (0x01038000)
libihash.so.0.3 => /lib/libihash.so.0.3 (0x0104b000)

/lib/ld.so => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x00001000)
Run:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"/libps utils/ps
[...]
Additionally, a `hurd-build/lib` directory is populated with links to *all*
shared Hurd libraries.
Check:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"/lib ldd utils/ps
libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 => /home/thomas/tmp/hurd/git.build/lib/libhurdbugaddr.so.0.3 (0x0102b000)
libps.so.0.3 => /home/thomas/tmp/hurd/git.build/lib/libps.so.0.3 (0x0102d000)
libihash.so.0.3 => /home/thomas/tmp/hurd/git.build/lib/libihash.so.0.3 (0x01040000)
libshouldbeinlibc.so.0.3 => /home/thomas/tmp/hurd/git.build/lib/libshouldbeinlibc.so.0.3 (0x01043000)
libc.so.0.3 => /lib/i386-gnu/libc.so.0.3 (0x0105a000)
libhurduser.so.0.3 => /lib/i386-gnu/libhurduser.so.0.3 (0x011eb000)
libmachuser.so.1 => /lib/i386-gnu/libmachuser.so.1 (0x01211000)
/lib/ld.so => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x00001000)
Run:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"/lib utils/ps
[...]
Likewise, if there is a reason to, it is possible to use the system's `/bin/ps`
with a freshly built libps:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"/libps /bin/ps
[...]
Etc.
And, the same is possible with [[translator]]s, too.
