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.
6 1.1 abs
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 1.124 jmc 20040621:
20 1.124 jmc
21 1.124 jmc Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
22 1.124 jmc from a clean objdir under tools/*.
23 1.124 jmc
24 1.124 jmc This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
25 1.124 jmc to be generated w. new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
26 1.124 jmc
27 1.124 jmc The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
28 1.124 jmc
29 1.121 lukem 20040516:
30 1.121 lukem The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
31 1.121 lukem from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
32 1.121 lukem Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
33 1.121 lukem "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.

35 1.119 atatat 20040426:
36 1.119 atatat Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
37 1.119 atatat been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
38 1.119 atatat consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
39 1.119 atatat the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
40 1.119 atatat be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
41 1.119 atatat the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
42 1.119 atatat built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
43 1.119 atatat will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
44 1.119 atatat 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
45 1.119 atatat does not work, make sure that your revision of
46 1.120 atatat src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
47 1.120 atatat do the following:
48 1.119 atatat
49 1.120 atatat cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
50 1.120 atatat make USETOOLS=no includes
51 1.120 atatat cd lib/libc
52 1.120 atatat make USETOOLS=no dependall install
53 1.120 atatat cd ../../sbin/sysctl
54 1.119 atatat make USETOOLS=no dependall install
55 1.119 atatat
56 1.122 itojun If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
57 1.122 itojun identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
58 1.122 itojun "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
59 1.122 itojun make sure to follow the above steps.
60 1.122 itojun
61 1.118 dbj 20040425:
62 1.118 dbj The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
63 1.118 dbj are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
64 1.118 dbj sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
65 1.118 dbj invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
66 1.118 dbj automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
67 1.118 dbj affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
68 1.118 dbj upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
69 1.118 dbj encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
70 1.118 dbj filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
71 1.118 dbj possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
72 1.118 dbj
73 1.115 christos 20040418:
74 1.121 lukem statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
75 1.115 christos installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
76 1.115 christos a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
77 1.115 christos build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
78 1.115 christos clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
79 1.116 christos anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
80 1.116 christos from the libc build directory.
81 1.115 christos
82 1.114 jmc 20040326:
83 1.114 jmc The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
84 1.117 jmc has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
85 1.114 jmc and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
86 1.114 jmc to build it.
87 1.114 jmc
88 1.114 jmc This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
89 1.114 jmc building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
90 1.114 jmc
91 1.113 dan 20040318:
92 1.113 dan A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
93 1.113 dan provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
94 1.113 dan notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
95 1.113 dan ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
96 1.113 dan recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
97 1.113 dan (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
98 1.113 dan
99 1.108 bjh21 20040313:
100 1.108 bjh21 On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
101 1.108 bjh21 the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
102 1.108 bjh21 will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
103 1.108 bjh21 for examples.
104 1.108 bjh21
105 1.106 bjh21 20040125:
106 1.106 bjh21 On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
107 1.106 bjh21 needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
108 1.106 bjh21 files.
109 1.105 bjh21
110 1.102 dbj 20040109:
111 1.102 dbj Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
112 1.102 dbj added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
113 1.102 dbj when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
114 1.102 dbj since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
115 1.110 dbj superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
116 1.111 simonb an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
117 1.109 dbj to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
118 1.111 simonb been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
119 1.111 simonb See the following discussion for more information:
120 1.112 keihan http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
121 1.102 dbj
122 1.99 mrg 20031203:
123 1.100 keihan New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
124 1.99 mrg It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
125 1.99 mrg the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
126 1.98 wiz
127 1.98 wiz 20031111:
128 1.98 wiz A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
129 1.98 wiz cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
130 1.97 lukem
131 1.97 lukem 20031008:
132 1.97 lukem /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
133 1.97 lukem It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
134 1.97 lukem the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
135 1.96 christos
136 1.109 dbj 20031007:
137 1.111 simonb A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
138 1.111 simonb of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
139 1.111 simonb affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
140 1.109 dbj A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
141 1.111 simonb should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
142 1.111 simonb to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
143 1.111 simonb http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
144 1.109 dbj
145 1.96 christos 20030906:
146 1.96 christos With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
147 1.96 christos code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
148 1.96 christos kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
149 1.94 christos
150 1.94 christos 20030801:
151 1.95 wiz With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
152 1.94 christos rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
153 1.95 wiz /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
154 1.92 wiz
155 1.92 wiz 20030703:
156 1.92 wiz Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
157 1.92 wiz build the included texinfo files, do:
158 1.92 wiz
159 1.92 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
160 1.92 wiz make MKINFO=no dependall install
161 1.90 wiz
162 1.90 wiz 20030630:
163 1.101 junyoung Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
164 1.91 wiz cd share/mk && make install
165 1.90 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
166 1.90 wiz make MKMAN=no dependall install
167 1.90 wiz (untested).
168 1.89 christos
169 1.89 christos 20030516:
170 1.89 christos Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
171 1.89 christos were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
172 1.89 christos mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
173 1.89 christos been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
174 1.89 christos export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
175 1.89 christos make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
176 1.89 christos file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
177 1.89 christos a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
178 1.87 bjh21
179 1.87 bjh21 20030402:
180 1.87 bjh21 The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
181 1.87 bjh21 fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
182 1.87 bjh21 with the first alternate, because they compare too many
183 1.87 bjh21 fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
184 1.87 bjh21 your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
185 1.87 bjh21 None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
186 1.85 atatat
187 1.85 atatat 20030324:
188 1.85 atatat sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
189 1.85 atatat now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
190 1.85 atatat mode for most common activities, there is a new config
191 1.85 atatat file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
192 1.85 atatat The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
193 1.85 atatat is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
194 1.85 atatat configuration file is also strongly advised.
195 1.85 atatat
196 1.85 atatat See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
197 1.85 atatat the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
198 1.85 atatat information.
199 1.82 wiz
200 1.82 wiz 20030117:
201 1.82 wiz Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
202 1.82 wiz build the included texinfo files, do:
203 1.82 wiz
204 1.82 wiz cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
205 1.82 wiz make MKINFO=no dependall install
206 1.81 lukem
207 1.81 lukem 20021223:
208 1.81 lukem The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
209 1.81 lukem "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
210 1.81 lukem This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
211 1.81 lukem For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
212 1.81 lukem update tools/mtree, before running make build.
213 1.88 itojun
214 1.88 itojun 20021219:
215 1.88 itojun CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
216 1.88 itojun if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
217 1.88 itojun
218 1.93 salo http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
219 1.80 lukem
220 1.80 lukem 20021219:
221 1.80 lukem install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
222 1.80 lukem alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
223 1.80 lukem of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
224 1.80 lukem
225 1.80 lukem The build system was modified to take advantage of
226 1.80 lukem this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
227 1.83 kei use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
228 1.80 lukem reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
229 1.78 lukem
230 1.78 lukem 20021130:
231 1.78 lukem fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
232 1.78 lukem If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
233 1.78 lukem and rebuild libc:
234 1.78 lukem make includes
235 1.78 lukem make do-lib-libc
236 1.78 lukem If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
237 1.78 lukem before rebuilding the tools.
238 1.77 lukem
239 1.77 lukem 20021126:
240 1.77 lukem The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
241 1.77 lukem including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
242 1.77 lukem All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
243 1.77 lukem /usr/include.
244 1.76 thorpej
245 1.76 thorpej 20021121:
246 1.76 thorpej The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
247 1.76 thorpej (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
248 1.76 thorpej split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
249 1.76 thorpej This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
250 1.76 thorpej new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
251 1.76 thorpej libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
252 1.76 thorpej required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
253 1.76 thorpej do this.
254 1.76 thorpej
255 1.76 thorpej An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
256 1.76 thorpej which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
257 1.76 thorpej their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
258 1.75 thorpej
259 1.75 thorpej 20021121:
260 1.75 thorpej A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
261 1.75 thorpej corrected.
262 1.75 thorpej
263 1.75 thorpej NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
264 1.75 thorpej default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
265 1.75 thorpej objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
266 1.79 wiz compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
267 1.75 thorpej to the assembler.
268 1.75 thorpej
269 1.75 thorpej Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
270 1.75 thorpej old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
271 1.75 thorpej incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
272 1.75 thorpej
273 1.75 thorpej The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
274 1.75 thorpej a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
275 1.75 thorpej against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
276 1.75 thorpej markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
277 1.75 thorpej WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
278 1.75 thorpej
279 1.75 thorpej The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
280 1.75 thorpej the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
281 1.79 wiz system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
282 1.93 salo generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
283 1.75 thorpej have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
284 1.75 thorpej if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
285 1.75 thorpej
286 1.75 thorpej If you have questions about this matter, please contact
287 1.93 salo port-arm (a] NetBSD.org.
288 1.73 provos
289 1.73 provos 20021011:
290 1.73 provos Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
291 1.73 provos Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
292 1.79 wiz to be rebuilt.
293 1.72 thorpej
294 1.72 thorpej 20021010:
295 1.72 thorpej The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
296 1.72 thorpej dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
297 1.72 thorpej must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
298 1.72 thorpej kernel.
299 1.70 thorpej
300 1.70 thorpej 20021009:
301 1.70 thorpej A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
302 1.70 thorpej which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
303 1.71 wiz must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
304 1.70 thorpej kernel.
305 1.69 thorpej
306 1.69 thorpej 20021003:
307 1.69 thorpej Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
308 1.69 thorpej framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
309 1.69 thorpej before building a new kernel.
310 1.74 jschauma
311 1.74 jschauma 20021001:
312 1.74 jschauma The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
313 1.74 jschauma will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
314 1.74 jschauma file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
315 1.74 jschauma ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
316 1.74 jschauma options MULTIPROCESSOR
317 1.74 jschauma options COM_MPLOCK
318 1.68 lukem
319 1.68 lukem 20020922:
320 1.68 lukem MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
321 1.68 lukem certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
322 1.68 lukem linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
323 1.68 lukem and /sbin are dynamically linked.
324 1.68 lukem If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
325 1.68 lukem you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
326 1.68 lukem with:
327 1.68 lukem make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
328 1.67 lukem
329 1.67 lukem 20020917:
330 1.67 lukem USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
331 1.67 lukem - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
332 1.67 lukem there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
333 1.67 lukem x86_64).
334 1.67 lukem - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
335 1.79 wiz root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
336 1.67 lukem enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
337 1.67 lukem platforms.
338 1.66 gehenna
339 1.66 gehenna 20020906:
340 1.66 gehenna gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
341 1.79 wiz reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
342 1.65 lukem
343 1.65 lukem 20020822:
344 1.65 lukem Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
345 1.65 lukem are now provided in /rescue.
346 1.65 lukem
347 1.65 lukem To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
348 1.65 lukem what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
349 1.65 lukem from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
350 1.65 lukem
351 1.65 lukem 20020820:

368 1.61 itojun 20020515:
369 1.61 itojun sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
370 1.61 itojun will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
371 1.61 itojun
372 1.61 itojun Add the following into /etc/group:

379 1.61 itojun
380 1.79 wiz Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
381 1.79 wiz the build process).
382 1.60 sommerfe
383 1.60 sommerfe 20020426:
384 1.60 sommerfe NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
385 1.59 lukem
386 1.59 lukem 20020426:
387 1.59 lukem etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
388 1.59 lukem configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
389 1.59 lukem the problems identified.
390 1.59 lukem This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
391 1.59 lukem configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
392 1.56 lukem
393 1.56 lukem 20020320:
394 1.79 wiz <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
395 1.79 wiz Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
396 1.56 lukem
397 1.55 itojun 20020319:
398 1.79 wiz Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
399 1.79 wiz on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
400 1.55 itojun newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
401 1.55 itojun
402 1.54 itojun 20020311:
403 1.54 itojun ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
404 1.54 itojun if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
405 1.54 itojun to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
406 1.54 itojun
407 1.54 itojun 20020223:
408 1.53 matt Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
409 1.53 matt so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
410 1.53 matt the VAX assembly files.
411 1.53 matt
412 1.50 itojun 20020118:
413 1.50 itojun ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
414 1.50 itojun will break as mtree aborts early.

424 1.49 jmc 20011207:
425 1.49 jmc If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
426 1.49 jmc reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
427 1.49 jmc toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
428 1.49 jmc
429 1.49 jmc To fix:
430 1.49 jmc
431 1.49 jmc Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
432 1.49 jmc Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
433 1.49 jmc
434 1.49 jmc gnu/lib/libgcc
435 1.51 pooka gnu/lib/libstdc++
436 1.49 jmc
437 1.49 jmc After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
438 1.49 jmc
439 1.47 jmc 20011201:
440 1.47 jmc In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
441 1.47 jmc you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
442 1.52 wiz point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
443 1.47 jmc point is broken.
444 1.47 jmc
445 1.47 jmc To build:
446 1.47 jmc
447 1.47 jmc remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
448 1.47 jmc remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
449 1.48 jmc against the new libgcc.a)
450 1.47 jmc
451 1.46 thorpej 20011128:
452 1.46 thorpej Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
453 1.46 thorpej the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
454 1.46 thorpej required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
455 1.46 thorpej to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
456 1.46 thorpej to build a new kernel.
457 1.46 thorpej
458 1.45 yamt 20011030:
459 1.45 yamt libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
460 1.45 yamt before building libc.
461 1.43 mason
462 1.44 tv 20011029:
463 1.44 tv The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
464 1.44 tv see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
465 1.44 tv procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
466 1.44 tv build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
467 1.44 tv manual update log.
468 1.44 tv
469 1.44 tv Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
470 1.44 tv BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
471 1.44 tv UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
472 1.44 tv by the new build system.
473 1.42 perry
474 1.42 perry 20011028:
475 1.42 perry src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
476 1.42 perry symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
477 1.42 perry prevented this was corrected.
478 1.42 perry
479 1.42 perry Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
480 1.42 perry Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
481 1.42 perry for you.
482 1.40 lukem
483 1.40 lukem 20011006:
484 1.40 lukem /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
485 1.40 lukem absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
486 1.40 lukem understand the format.
487 1.40 lukem
488 1.40 lukem Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
489 1.39 jmc
490 1.39 jmc 20011004:
491 1.39 jmc Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
492 1.39 jmc is suggested before running a snapshot build
493 1.36 tv
494 1.35 thorpej 20010915:
495 1.35 thorpej The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
496 1.35 thorpej a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
497 1.35 thorpej files that still reference this file.
498 1.35 thorpej
499 1.35 thorpej Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
500 1.35 thorpej directories.
501 1.31 enami
502 1.31 enami 20010803:
503 1.31 enami grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
504 1.31 enami requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
505 1.31 enami building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
506 1.31 enami the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
507 1.30 enami
508 1.64 sommerfe 20010803:
509 1.41 wiz (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
510 1.111 simonb `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
511 1.64 sommerfe kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
512 1.64 sommerfe (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
513 1.64 sommerfe from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
514 1.64 sommerfe See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
515 1.64 sommerfe [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
516 1.29 bjh21
517 1.29 bjh21 20010731:
518 1.29 bjh21 Bootloader update on ELF platforms. DDB in kernels from before
519 1.29 bjh21 this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
520 1.29 bjh21 bootloaders.
521 1.27 assar
522 1.27 assar 20010726:
523 1.27 assar Texinfo was updated to 4.0. To avoid failures when trying to
524 1.28 assar build the included texinfo files, do:
525 1.28 assar
526 1.28 assar cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
527 1.28 assar make MKINFO=no dependall install
528 1.25 thorpej
529 1.25 thorpej 20010718:
530 1.25 thorpej Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
531 1.25 thorpej was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
532 1.25 thorpej make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
533 1.25 thorpej timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
534 1.25 thorpej
535 1.25 thorpej The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
536 1.25 thorpej if you have a stale dependency.
537 1.25 thorpej
538 1.25 thorpej Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
539 1.25 thorpej before starting your build.
540 1.26 thorpej
541 1.26 thorpej 20010628:
542 1.26 thorpej A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
543 1.26 thorpej in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
544 1.26 thorpej bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
545 1.21 jmc
546 1.21 jmc 20010226:
547 1.22 jmc Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
548 1.21 jmc will break as mtree aborts early.
549 1.21 jmc
550 1.21 jmc To work around add by hand:
551 1.21 jmc
552 1.21 jmc named:*:14:
553 1.21 jmc
554 1.22 jmc to /etc/group and add:

557 1.22 jmc
558 1.22 jmc to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
559 1.22 jmc
560 1.22 jmc Now a make build should progress.
561 1.18 jmc
562 1.18 jmc 20010219:
563 1.52 wiz get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
564 1.111 simonb to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
565 1.18 jmc
566 1.111 simonb Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
567 1.19 cgd usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to

569 1.20 jmc usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
570 1.111 simonb building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
571 1.15 christos
572 1.15 christos 20010204:
573 1.15 christos prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
574 1.15 christos particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
575 1.15 christos needs to be installed before make build.
576 1.10 christos
577 1.10 christos 20010114:
578 1.10 christos introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
579 1.10 christos bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
580 1.23 tron anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
581 1.10 christos with make build.
582 1.9 sommerfe
583 1.9 sommerfe 20010101:
584 1.9 sommerfe bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
585 1.9 sommerfe afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
586 1.8 sommerfe
587 1.8 sommerfe 20001230:
588 1.8 sommerfe New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
589 1.8 sommerfe If you get make errors,
590 1.8 sommerfe (cd share/mk; make install)
591 1.8 sommerfe Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
592 1.6 ad
593 1.6 ad 20001019:
594 1.7 ad The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
595 1.6 ad major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
596 1.6 ad directory.
597 1.1 abs
598 1.4 itojun 20000929:
599 1.4 itojun The following make directives are obsoleted.
600 1.4 itojun MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
601 1.4 itojun By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
602 1.16 wiz built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
603 1.4 itojun additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
604 1.1 abs
605 1.1 abs
606 1.1 abs Hints for a more successful build:
607 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
608 1.123 jmc Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
609 1.123 jmc This will will automatically build the tools in the
610 1.123 jmc correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
611 1.123 jmc new build products from interfering with the running
612 1.123 jmc system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
613 1.123 jmc other advice in this file.
614 1.2 mrg Build a new kernel first:
615 1.2 mrg This makes sure that any new system calls or features
616 1.2 mrg expected by the new userland will be present. This
617 1.2 mrg helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
618 1.1 abs Use object directories:
619 1.1 abs This helps to keep stale object
620 1.1 abs files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
621 1.1 abs about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
622 1.1 abs a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
623 1.1 abs same source tree for multiple machines.
624 1.123 jmc To use object directories with build.sh:
625 1.123 jmc a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
626 1.123 jmc To use object directories without using build.sh:
627 1.1 abs a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
628 1.2 mrg b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
629 1.2 mrg c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
630 1.1 abs d) cd /usr/src ; make build
631 1.2 mrg Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
632 1.2 mrg in obj.$MACHINE directory.
633 1.1 abs Build to a DESTDIR:
634 1.123 jmc This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
635 1.123 jmc from interfering with the new build.
636 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
637 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
638 1.123 jmc environment variable before running make build. It should be
639 1.123 jmc set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
640 1.123 jmc Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
641 1.123 jmc update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
642 1.123 jmc nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
643 1.123 jmc (See critical utils, below.)
644 1.1 abs Build often:
645 1.1 abs This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
646 1.1 abs on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
647 1.123 jmc date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
648 1.123 jmc this problem.
649 1.1 abs
650 1.1 abs What to do if things don't work:
651 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
652 1.1 abs When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
653 1.1 abs should be done.
654 1.1 abs 1) make includes
655 1.1 abs This should be done automatically by make build.
656 1.1 abs 2) cd share/mk && make install
657 1.1 abs Again, automatically done by make build.
658 1.1 abs
659 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
660 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
661 1.1 abs To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
662 1.1 abs something like the following:
663 1.1 abs 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
664 1.1 abs 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
665 1.1 abs utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
666 1.1 abs 3) cd ...path/to/util...
667 1.1 abs make cleandir
668 1.1 abs rm ...all obj directories...
669 1.1 abs make cleandir # yes, again
670 1.1 abs make obj
671 1.1 abs make depend && make
672 1.1 abs
673 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
674 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
675 1.1 abs If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
676 1.2 mrg ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
677 1.2 mrg (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
678 1.2 mrg for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
