from the sourcecode?


Building parts of userland is pretty straight-forward too. Assuming the
standard /usr/tools and /usr/obj dirs. exist, I use this script to
compile stuff:

---
#!/bin/sh

set -eu
V="TOOLDIR=/usr/tools MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj MAKEVERBOSE=1"
make $V obj             # create build dirs.
exec make -j6 $V "$@"
---

To compile apropos:

$ cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/makemandb && compile apropos
# compile install PROGS=apropos         # as root
$ compile distclean
