     ccoonnffiigg - build system configuration files

     ccoonnffiigg [--pp] _S_Y_S_T_E_M___N_A_M_E

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     CCoonnffiigg builds a set of system configuration files from the file
     _S_Y_S_T_E_M___N_A_M_E which describes the system to configure.  A second file tells
     ccoonnffiigg what files are needed to generate a system and can be augmented by
     configuration specific set of files that give alternate files for a spe-
     cific machine.  (see the _F_I_L_E_S section below)

     Available option and operand:

     --pp           If the --pp option is supplied, ccoonnffiigg will configure a system
                  for profiling; for example, kgmon(8) and gprof(1).

     _S_Y_S_T_E_M___N_A_M_E  specifies the name of the system configuration file contain-
                  ing device specifications, configuration options and other
                  system parameters for one system configuration.

     CCoonnffiigg should be run from the _c_o_n_f subdirectory of the system source
     (usually _/_s_y_s_/_c_o_n_f). CCoonnffiigg assumes the directory _._._/_S_Y_S_T_E_M___N_A_M_E exists
     and places all output files there.  The output of ccoonnffiigg consists of a
     number of files; for the VAX, they are: _i_o_c_o_n_f_._c, a description of what
     I/O devices are attached to the system; _u_b_g_l_u_e_._s, a set of interrupt ser-
     vice routines for devices attached to the UNIBUS; _u_b_v_e_c_._s, offsets into a
     structure used for counting per-device interrupts; _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e, used by
     make(1) in building the system; header files, definitions of the number
     of various devices that will be compiled into the system; swap configura-
     tion files, definitions for the disk areas to be used for swapping, the
     root file system, argument processing, and system dumps.

     After running ccoonnffiigg, it is necessary to run ``make depend'' in the di-
     rectory where the new makefile was created.  CCoonnffiigg prints a reminder of
     this when it completes.

     If any other error messages are produced by ccoonnffiigg, the problems in the
     configuration file should be corrected and ccoonnffiigg should be run again.
     Attempts to compile a system that had configuration errors are likely to
     fail.
