Sure enough I see it in /usr/src/share/man/man7/build.7 . Not sure how I missed it in the man output. I thought that I also searched for it via the command line. It looks like: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build=0=7=FreeBSD+12-current=default=html lags (2017-Dec-24) so I should not depend on such having recent updates.

It was added to build(7) in r338043: LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP Defines what interpreter the default loader program will have. Valid values include “4th”, “lua”, and “simp”. This creates the default link for /boot/loader to the loader with that interpreter. It also determines what interpreter is compiled into userboot. > I have assumed that my long-in-use amd64 virtual-box context that I > run and update FreeBSD in (under macOS) just automatically updated > sufficiently via installkernel and installworld after building. Correct. The loader and its support files (4th and lua) are built by 'make buildworld' and installed by 'make installworld'. The source code is in /usr/src/stand. > (This assumes that all the changes are in the freebsd-ufs partition > involved and that the freebsd-boot partition involved need not be > updated.) The freebsd-boot partition contains the code that loads the loader and should not need updating.

head's /usr/src/UPDATING vs. "LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7)": not documented yet
Quoting UPDATING for head: 20180818: The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua. LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default interpreter. If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in src.conf for the build. . . . But when I look at: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=build=0=0=FreeBSD+12-current=default=html or the installed build(7) for head -r338319 I do not find any references to LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP . Also, from the text: If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in src.conf for the build I would guess that src.conf(5) should also mention LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP and how it should be used. But I find no references to LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP in: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=src.conf=0=0=FreeBSD+12-current=default=html or in what is installed for src.conf(5) for head -r338319 . I have assumed that my long-in-use amd64 virtual-box context that I run and update FreeBSD in (under macOS) just automatically updated sufficiently via installkernel and installworld after building. (This assumes that all the changes are in the freebsd-ufs partition involved and that the freebsd-boot partition involved need not be updated.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
