2 1.1 abs
3 1.123 jmc This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4 1.123 jmc changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5 1.123 jmc what to do if something doesn't work.

7 1.123 jmc For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8 1.123 jmc using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9 1.123 jmc
10 1.123 jmc Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11 1.123 jmc build.sh existed. Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12 1.123 jmc working around specific problems with build.sh.

19 1.121 lukem 20040516:
20 1.121 lukem The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
21 1.121 lukem from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
22 1.121 lukem Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
23 1.121 lukem "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.

25 1.119 atatat 20040426:
26 1.119 atatat Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
27 1.119 atatat been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
28 1.119 atatat consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
29 1.119 atatat the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
30 1.119 atatat be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
31 1.119 atatat the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
32 1.119 atatat built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
33 1.119 atatat will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
34 1.119 atatat 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
35 1.119 atatat does not work, make sure that your revision of
36 1.120 atatat src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
37 1.120 atatat do the following:
38 1.119 atatat
39 1.120 atatat cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
40 1.120 atatat make USETOOLS=no includes
41 1.120 atatat cd lib/libc
42 1.120 atatat make USETOOLS=no dependall install
43 1.120 atatat cd ../../sbin/sysctl
44 1.119 atatat make USETOOLS=no dependall install
45 1.119 atatat
46 1.122 itojun If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
47 1.122 itojun identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
48 1.122 itojun "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
49 1.122 itojun make sure to follow the above steps.
50 1.122 itojun
51 1.118 dbj 20040425:
52 1.118 dbj The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
53 1.118 dbj are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
54 1.118 dbj sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
55 1.118 dbj invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
56 1.118 dbj automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
57 1.118 dbj affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
58 1.118 dbj upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
59 1.118 dbj encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
60 1.118 dbj filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
61 1.118 dbj possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
62 1.118 dbj
63 1.115 christos 20040418:
64 1.121 lukem statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
65 1.115 christos installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
66 1.115 christos a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
67 1.115 christos build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
68 1.115 christos clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
69 1.116 christos anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
70 1.116 christos from the libc build directory.
71 1.115 christos
72 1.114 jmc 20040326:
73 1.114 jmc The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
74 1.117 jmc has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
75 1.114 jmc and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
76 1.114 jmc to build it.
77 1.114 jmc
78 1.114 jmc This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
79 1.114 jmc building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
80 1.114 jmc
81 1.113 dan 20040318:
82 1.113 dan A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
83 1.113 dan provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
84 1.113 dan notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
85 1.113 dan ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
86 1.113 dan recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
87 1.113 dan (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
88 1.113 dan
89 1.108 bjh21 20040313:
90 1.108 bjh21 On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
91 1.108 bjh21 the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
92 1.108 bjh21 will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
93 1.108 bjh21 for examples.
94 1.108 bjh21
95 1.106 bjh21 20040125:
96 1.106 bjh21 On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
97 1.106 bjh21 needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
98 1.106 bjh21 files.
99 1.105 bjh21
100 1.102 dbj 20040109:
101 1.102 dbj Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
102 1.102 dbj added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
103 1.102 dbj when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
104 1.102 dbj since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
105 1.110 dbj superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
106 1.111 simonb an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
107 1.109 dbj to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
108 1.111 simonb been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
109 1.111 simonb See the following discussion for more information:
110 1.112 keihan http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
111 1.102 dbj
112 1.99 mrg 20031203:
113 1.100 keihan New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
114 1.99 mrg It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
115 1.99 mrg the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
116 1.98 wiz
117 1.98 wiz 20031111:
118 1.98 wiz A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
119 1.98 wiz cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
120 1.97 lukem
121 1.97 lukem 20031008:
122 1.97 lukem /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
123 1.97 lukem It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
124 1.97 lukem the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
125 1.96 christos
126 1.109 dbj 20031007:
127 1.111 simonb A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
128 1.111 simonb of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
129 1.111 simonb affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
130 1.109 dbj A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
131 1.111 simonb should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
132 1.111 simonb to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
133 1.111 simonb http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
134 1.109 dbj
135 1.96 christos 20030906:
136 1.96 christos With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
137 1.96 christos code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
138 1.96 christos kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
139 1.94 christos
140 1.94 christos 20030801:
141 1.95 wiz With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
142 1.94 christos rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
143 1.95 wiz /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
144 1.92 wiz
145 1.92 wiz 20030703:
146 1.92 wiz Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
147 1.92 wiz build the included texinfo files, do:
148 1.92 wiz
149 1.92 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
150 1.92 wiz make MKINFO=no dependall install
151 1.90 wiz
152 1.90 wiz 20030630:
153 1.101 junyoung Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
154 1.91 wiz cd share/mk && make install
155 1.90 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
156 1.90 wiz make MKMAN=no dependall install
157 1.90 wiz (untested).
158 1.89 christos
159 1.89 christos 20030516:
160 1.89 christos Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
161 1.89 christos were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
162 1.89 christos mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
163 1.89 christos been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
164 1.89 christos export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
165 1.89 christos make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
166 1.89 christos file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
167 1.89 christos a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
168 1.87 bjh21
169 1.87 bjh21 20030402:
170 1.87 bjh21 The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
171 1.87 bjh21 fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
172 1.87 bjh21 with the first alternate, because they compare too many
173 1.87 bjh21 fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
174 1.87 bjh21 your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
175 1.87 bjh21 None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
176 1.85 atatat
177 1.85 atatat 20030324:
178 1.85 atatat sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
179 1.85 atatat now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
180 1.85 atatat mode for most common activities, there is a new config
181 1.85 atatat file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
182 1.85 atatat The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
183 1.85 atatat is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
184 1.85 atatat configuration file is also strongly advised.
185 1.85 atatat
186 1.85 atatat See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
187 1.85 atatat the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
188 1.85 atatat information.
189 1.82 wiz
190 1.82 wiz 20030117:
191 1.82 wiz Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
192 1.82 wiz build the included texinfo files, do:
193 1.82 wiz
194 1.82 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
195 1.82 wiz make MKINFO=no dependall install
196 1.81 lukem
197 1.81 lukem 20021223:
198 1.81 lukem The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
199 1.81 lukem "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
200 1.81 lukem This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
201 1.81 lukem For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
202 1.81 lukem update tools/mtree, before running make build.
203 1.88 itojun
204 1.88 itojun 20021219:
205 1.88 itojun CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
206 1.88 itojun if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
207 1.88 itojun
208 1.93 salo http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
209 1.80 lukem
210 1.80 lukem 20021219:
211 1.80 lukem install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
212 1.80 lukem alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
213 1.80 lukem of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
214 1.80 lukem
215 1.80 lukem The build system was modified to take advantage of
216 1.80 lukem this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
217 1.83 kei use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
218 1.80 lukem reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
219 1.78 lukem
220 1.78 lukem 20021130:
221 1.78 lukem fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
222 1.78 lukem If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
223 1.78 lukem and rebuild libc:
224 1.78 lukem make includes
225 1.78 lukem make do-lib-libc
226 1.78 lukem If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
227 1.78 lukem before rebuilding the tools.
228 1.77 lukem
229 1.77 lukem 20021126:
230 1.77 lukem The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
231 1.77 lukem including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
232 1.77 lukem All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
233 1.77 lukem /usr/include.
234 1.76 thorpej
235 1.76 thorpej 20021121:
236 1.76 thorpej The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
237 1.76 thorpej (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
238 1.76 thorpej split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
239 1.76 thorpej This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
240 1.76 thorpej new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
241 1.76 thorpej libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
242 1.76 thorpej required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
243 1.76 thorpej do this.
244 1.76 thorpej
245 1.76 thorpej An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
246 1.76 thorpej which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
247 1.76 thorpej their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
248 1.75 thorpej
249 1.75 thorpej 20021121:
250 1.75 thorpej A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
251 1.75 thorpej corrected.
252 1.75 thorpej
253 1.75 thorpej NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
254 1.75 thorpej default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
255 1.75 thorpej objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
256 1.79 wiz compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
257 1.75 thorpej to the assembler.
258 1.75 thorpej
259 1.75 thorpej Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
260 1.75 thorpej old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
261 1.75 thorpej incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
262 1.75 thorpej
263 1.75 thorpej The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
264 1.75 thorpej a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
265 1.75 thorpej against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
266 1.75 thorpej markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
267 1.75 thorpej WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
268 1.75 thorpej
269 1.75 thorpej The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
270 1.75 thorpej the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
271 1.79 wiz system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
272 1.93 salo generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
273 1.75 thorpej have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
274 1.75 thorpej if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
275 1.75 thorpej
276 1.75 thorpej If you have questions about this matter, please contact
277 1.93 salo port-arm (a] NetBSD.org.
278 1.73 provos
279 1.73 provos 20021011:
280 1.73 provos Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
281 1.73 provos Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
282 1.79 wiz to be rebuilt.
283 1.72 thorpej
284 1.72 thorpej 20021010:
285 1.72 thorpej The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
286 1.72 thorpej dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
287 1.72 thorpej must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
288 1.72 thorpej kernel.
289 1.70 thorpej
290 1.70 thorpej 20021009:
291 1.70 thorpej A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
292 1.70 thorpej which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
293 1.71 wiz must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
294 1.70 thorpej kernel.
295 1.69 thorpej
296 1.69 thorpej 20021003:
297 1.69 thorpej Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
298 1.69 thorpej framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
299 1.69 thorpej before building a new kernel.
300 1.74 jschauma
301 1.74 jschauma 20021001:
302 1.74 jschauma The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
303 1.74 jschauma will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
304 1.74 jschauma file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
305 1.74 jschauma ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
306 1.74 jschauma options MULTIPROCESSOR
307 1.74 jschauma options COM_MPLOCK
308 1.68 lukem
309 1.68 lukem 20020922:
310 1.68 lukem MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
311 1.68 lukem certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
312 1.68 lukem linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
313 1.68 lukem and /sbin are dynamically linked.
314 1.68 lukem If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
315 1.68 lukem you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
316 1.68 lukem with:
317 1.68 lukem make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
318 1.67 lukem
319 1.67 lukem 20020917:
320 1.67 lukem USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
321 1.67 lukem - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
322 1.67 lukem there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
323 1.67 lukem x86_64).
324 1.67 lukem - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
325 1.79 wiz root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
326 1.67 lukem enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
327 1.67 lukem platforms.
328 1.66 gehenna
329 1.66 gehenna 20020906:
330 1.66 gehenna gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
331 1.79 wiz reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
332 1.65 lukem
333 1.65 lukem 20020822:
334 1.65 lukem Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
335 1.65 lukem are now provided in /rescue.
336 1.65 lukem
337 1.65 lukem To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
338 1.65 lukem what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
339 1.65 lukem from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
340 1.65 lukem
341 1.65 lukem 20020820:
342 1.65 lukem crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
343 1.65 lukem is statically linked.
344 1.65 lukem
345 1.65 lukem Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
346 1.84 grant

373 1.60 sommerfe 20020426:
374 1.60 sommerfe NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
375 1.59 lukem
376 1.59 lukem 20020426:
377 1.59 lukem etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
378 1.59 lukem configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
379 1.59 lukem the problems identified.
380 1.59 lukem This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
381 1.59 lukem configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
382 1.56 lukem
383 1.56 lukem 20020320:

389 1.79 wiz on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
390 1.55 itojun newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
391 1.55 itojun
392 1.54 itojun 20020311:
393 1.54 itojun ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
394 1.54 itojun if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
395 1.54 itojun to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
396 1.54 itojun
397 1.54 itojun 20020223:

414 1.49 jmc 20011207:
415 1.49 jmc If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
416 1.49 jmc reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
417 1.49 jmc toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
418 1.49 jmc
419 1.49 jmc To fix:
420 1.49 jmc
421 1.49 jmc Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
422 1.49 jmc Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
423 1.49 jmc
424 1.49 jmc gnu/lib/libgcc
425 1.51 pooka gnu/lib/libstdc++

430 1.47 jmc In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
431 1.47 jmc you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
432 1.52 wiz point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
433 1.47 jmc point is broken.
434 1.47 jmc
435 1.47 jmc To build:
436 1.47 jmc
437 1.47 jmc remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
438 1.47 jmc remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
439 1.48 jmc against the new libgcc.a)
440 1.47 jmc
441 1.46 thorpej 20011128:
442 1.46 thorpej Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
443 1.46 thorpej the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
444 1.46 thorpej required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
445 1.46 thorpej to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
446 1.46 thorpej to build a new kernel.
447 1.46 thorpej
448 1.45 yamt 20011030:

450 1.45 yamt before building libc.
451 1.43 mason
452 1.44 tv 20011029:
453 1.44 tv The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
454 1.44 tv see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
455 1.44 tv procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
456 1.44 tv build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
457 1.44 tv manual update log.
458 1.44 tv
459 1.44 tv Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
460 1.44 tv BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
461 1.44 tv UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
462 1.44 tv by the new build system.
463 1.42 perry
464 1.42 perry 20011028:
465 1.42 perry src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle

467 1.42 perry prevented this was corrected.
468 1.42 perry
469 1.42 perry Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
470 1.42 perry Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
471 1.42 perry for you.

484 1.35 thorpej 20010915:
485 1.35 thorpej The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
486 1.35 thorpej a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
487 1.35 thorpej files that still reference this file.
488 1.35 thorpej
489 1.35 thorpej Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
490 1.35 thorpej directories.
491 1.31 enami
492 1.31 enami 20010803:
493 1.31 enami grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
494 1.31 enami requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
495 1.31 enami building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
496 1.31 enami the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
497 1.30 enami
498 1.64 sommerfe 20010803:
499 1.41 wiz (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
500 1.111 simonb `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
501 1.64 sommerfe kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
502 1.64 sommerfe (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
503 1.64 sommerfe from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
504 1.64 sommerfe See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
505 1.64 sommerfe [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

509 1.29 bjh21 this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
510 1.29 bjh21 bootloaders.
511 1.27 assar
512 1.27 assar 20010726:

514 1.28 assar build the included texinfo files, do:
515 1.28 assar
516 1.28 assar cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
517 1.28 assar make MKINFO=no dependall install
518 1.25 thorpej
519 1.25 thorpej 20010718:
520 1.25 thorpej Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
521 1.25 thorpej was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
522 1.25 thorpej make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
523 1.25 thorpej timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
524 1.25 thorpej
525 1.25 thorpej The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
526 1.25 thorpej if you have a stale dependency.
527 1.25 thorpej
528 1.25 thorpej Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
529 1.25 thorpej before starting your build.
530 1.26 thorpej
531 1.26 thorpej 20010628:
532 1.26 thorpej A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
533 1.26 thorpej in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
534 1.26 thorpej bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
535 1.21 jmc

547 1.22 jmc
548 1.22 jmc to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
549 1.22 jmc
550 1.22 jmc Now a make build should progress.
551 1.18 jmc
552 1.18 jmc 20010219:
553 1.52 wiz get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
554 1.111 simonb to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
555 1.18 jmc
556 1.111 simonb Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff

561 1.15 christos
562 1.15 christos 20010204:
563 1.15 christos prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
564 1.15 christos particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
565 1.15 christos needs to be installed before make build.
566 1.10 christos
567 1.10 christos 20010114:
568 1.10 christos introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
569 1.10 christos bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
570 1.23 tron anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
571 1.10 christos with make build.
572 1.9 sommerfe
573 1.9 sommerfe 20010101:
574 1.9 sommerfe bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
575 1.9 sommerfe afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
576 1.8 sommerfe
577 1.8 sommerfe 20001230:
578 1.8 sommerfe New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
579 1.8 sommerfe If you get make errors,
580 1.8 sommerfe (cd share/mk; make install)
581 1.8 sommerfe Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
582 1.6 ad
583 1.6 ad 20001019:
584 1.7 ad The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
585 1.6 ad major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
586 1.6 ad directory.
587 1.1 abs
588 1.4 itojun 20000929:
589 1.4 itojun The following make directives are obsoleted.
590 1.4 itojun MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
591 1.4 itojun By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
592 1.16 wiz built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
593 1.4 itojun additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
594 1.1 abs
595 1.1 abs
596 1.1 abs Hints for a more successful build:
597 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
598 1.123 jmc Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
599 1.123 jmc This will will automatically build the tools in the
600 1.123 jmc correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
601 1.123 jmc new build products from interfering with the running
602 1.123 jmc system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
603 1.123 jmc other advice in this file.
604 1.2 mrg Build a new kernel first:
605 1.2 mrg This makes sure that any new system calls or features
606 1.2 mrg expected by the new userland will be present. This
607 1.2 mrg helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
608 1.1 abs Use object directories:
609 1.1 abs This helps to keep stale object
610 1.1 abs files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
611 1.1 abs about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
612 1.1 abs a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
613 1.1 abs same source tree for multiple machines.
614 1.123 jmc To use object directories with build.sh:
615 1.123 jmc a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
616 1.123 jmc To use object directories without using build.sh:
617 1.1 abs a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
618 1.2 mrg b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
619 1.2 mrg c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
620 1.1 abs d) cd /usr/src ; make build
621 1.2 mrg Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
622 1.2 mrg in obj.$MACHINE directory.
623 1.1 abs Build to a DESTDIR:
624 1.123 jmc This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
625 1.123 jmc from interfering with the new build.
626 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
627 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
628 1.123 jmc environment variable before running make build. It should be
629 1.123 jmc set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
630 1.123 jmc Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
631 1.123 jmc update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
632 1.123 jmc nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
633 1.123 jmc (See critical utils, below.)
634 1.1 abs Build often:
635 1.1 abs This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
636 1.1 abs on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
637 1.123 jmc date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
638 1.123 jmc this problem.
639 1.1 abs
640 1.1 abs What to do if things don't work:
641 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
642 1.1 abs When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
643 1.1 abs should be done.
644 1.1 abs 1) make includes
645 1.1 abs This should be done automatically by make build.
646 1.1 abs 2) cd share/mk && make install
647 1.1 abs Again, automatically done by make build.
648 1.1 abs
649 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
650 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
651 1.1 abs To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
652 1.1 abs something like the following:
653 1.1 abs 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
654 1.1 abs 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
655 1.1 abs utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
656 1.1 abs 3) cd ...path/to/util...
657 1.1 abs make cleandir
658 1.1 abs rm ...all obj directories...
659 1.1 abs make cleandir # yes, again
660 1.1 abs make obj
661 1.1 abs make depend && make
662 1.1 abs
663 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
664 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
665 1.1 abs If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
666 1.2 mrg ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
667 1.2 mrg (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
668 1.2 mrg for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
