21.1Sabs
31.123SjmcThis file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
41.123Sjmcchanges that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
51.123Sjmcwhat to do if something doesn't work.
61.1Sabs
71.123SjmcFor a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
81.123Sjmcusing build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
91.123Sjmc
101.123SjmcNote that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
111.123Sjmcbuild.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
121.123Sjmcworking around specific problems with build.sh.

171.1Sabs^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
181.99Smrg
191.124Sjmc20040621:
201.124Sjmc
211.124Sjmc	Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
221.124Sjmc	from a clean objdir under tools/*.
231.124Sjmc
241.124Sjmc	This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
251.124Sjmc	to be generated w. new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
261.124Sjmc
271.124Sjmc	The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
281.124Sjmc
291.121Slukem20040516:
301.121Slukem	The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
311.121Slukem	from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
321.121Slukem	Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
331.121Slukem	"make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
341.121Slukem
351.119Satatat20040426:
361.119Satatat	Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
371.119Satatat	been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects
381.119Satatat	consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
391.119Satatat	the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to
401.119Satatat	be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
411.119Satatat	the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
421.119Satatat	built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
431.119Satatat	will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
441.119Satatat	2004/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
451.119Satatat	does not work, make sure that your revision of
461.120Satatat	src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
471.120Satatat	do the following:
481.119Satatat
491.120Satatat	cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
501.120Satatat	make USETOOLS=no includes
511.120Satatat	cd lib/libc
521.120Satatat	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
531.120Satatat	cd ../../sbin/sysctl
541.119Satatat	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
551.119Satatat
561.122Sitojun	If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
571.122Sitojun	identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
581.122Sitojun	"unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,
591.122Sitojun	make sure to follow the above steps.
601.122Sitojun
611.118Sdbj20040425:
621.118Sdbj	The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
631.118Sdbj	are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
641.118Sdbj	sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
651.118Sdbj	invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
661.118Sdbj	automated by those scripts.  Note that under certain circumstances,
671.118Sdbj	affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
681.118Sdbj	upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
691.118Sdbj	encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
701.118Sdbj	filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
711.118Sdbj	possible.  For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
721.118Sdbj
731.115Schristos20040418:
741.121Slukem	statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
751.115Schristos	installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
761.115Schristos	a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
771.115Schristos	build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
781.115Schristos	clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
791.116Schristos	anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
801.116Schristos	from the libc build directory.
811.115Schristos
821.114Sjmc20040326:
831.114Sjmc	The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
841.117Sjmc	has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
851.114Sjmc	and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
861.114Sjmc	to build it.
871.114Sjmc
881.114Sjmc	This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
891.114Sjmc	building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
901.114Sjmc
911.113Sdan20040318:
921.113Sdan	A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
931.113Sdan	provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
941.113Sdan	notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
951.113Sdan	ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
961.113Sdan	recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
971.113Sdan	(recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
981.113Sdan
991.108Sbjh2120040313:
1001.108Sbjh21	On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
1011.108Sbjh21	the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files
1021.108Sbjh21	will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
1031.108Sbjh21	for examples.
1041.108Sbjh21
1051.106Sbjh2120040125:
1061.106Sbjh21	On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
1071.106Sbjh21	needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
1081.106Sbjh21	files.
1091.105Sbjh21
1101.102Sdbj20040109:
1111.102Sdbj	Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
1121.102Sdbj	added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
1131.102Sdbj	when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current
1141.102Sdbj	since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1151.110Sdbj	superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have
1161.111Ssimonb	an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1171.109Sdbj	to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has
1181.111Ssimonb	been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
1191.111Ssimonb	See the following discussion for more information:
1201.112Skeihan	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1211.102Sdbj
1221.99Smrg20031203:
1231.100Skeihan	New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1241.99Smrg	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
1251.99Smrg	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1261.98Swiz
1271.98Swiz20031111:
1281.98Swiz	A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is
1291.98Swiz		cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1301.97Slukem
1311.97Slukem20031008:
1321.97Slukem	/usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
1331.97Slukem	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
1341.97Slukem	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1351.96Schristos
1361.109Sdbj20031007:
1371.111Ssimonb	A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
1381.111Ssimonb	of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags.  This should only
1391.111Ssimonb	affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1401.109Sdbj	A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1411.111Ssimonb	should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
1421.111Ssimonb	to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See
1431.111Ssimonb	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1441.109Sdbj
1451.96Schristos20030906:
1461.96Schristos	With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
1471.96Schristos	code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
1481.96Schristos	kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1491.94Schristos
1501.94Schristos20030801:
1511.95Swiz	With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1521.94Schristos	rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1531.95Swiz	/usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1541.92Swiz
1551.92Swiz20030703:
1561.92Swiz	Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to
1571.92Swiz	build the included texinfo files, do:
1581.92Swiz
1591.92Swiz	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
1601.92Swiz	make MKINFO=no dependall install
1611.90Swiz
1621.90Swiz20030630:
1631.101Sjunyoung	Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1641.91Swiz		cd share/mk && make install
1651.90Swiz		cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
1661.90Swiz		make MKMAN=no dependall install
1671.90Swiz	(untested).
1681.89Schristos
1691.89Schristos20030516:
1701.89Schristos	Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
1711.89Schristos	were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
1721.89Schristos	mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
1731.89Schristos	been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
1741.89Schristos	export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
1751.89Schristos	make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
1761.89Schristos	file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
1771.89Schristos	a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1781.87Sbjh21
1791.87Sbjh2120030402:
1801.87Sbjh21	The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
1811.87Sbjh21	fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
1821.87Sbjh21	with the first alternate, because they compare too many
1831.87Sbjh21	fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
1841.87Sbjh21	your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
1851.87Sbjh21	None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1861.85Satatat
1871.85Satatat20030324:
1881.85Satatat	sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is
1891.85Satatat	now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
1901.85Satatat	mode for most common activities, there is a new config
1911.85Satatat	file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
1921.85Satatat	The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
1931.85Satatat	is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail
1941.85Satatat	configuration file is also strongly advised.
1951.85Satatat
1961.85Satatat	See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
1971.85Satatat	the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
1981.85Satatat	information.
1991.82Swiz
2001.82Swiz20030117:
2011.82Swiz	Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to
2021.82Swiz	build the included texinfo files, do:
2031.82Swiz
2041.82Swiz	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
2051.82Swiz	make MKINFO=no dependall install
2061.81Slukem
2071.81Slukem20021223:
2081.81Slukem	The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
2091.81Slukem	"${DESTDIR}" from path names.
2101.81Slukem	This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
2111.81Slukem	For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
2121.81Slukem	update tools/mtree, before running make build.
2131.88Sitojun
2141.88Sitojun20021219:
2151.88Sitojun	CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details
2161.88Sitojun	if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
2171.88Sitojun
2181.93Ssalo	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
2191.80Slukem
2201.80Slukem20021219:
2211.80Slukem	install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
2221.80Slukem	alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
2231.80Slukem	of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
2241.80Slukem
2251.80Slukem	The build system was modified to take advantage of
2261.80Slukem	this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
2271.83Skei	use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
2281.80Slukem	reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
2291.78Slukem
2301.78Slukem20021130:
2311.78Slukem	fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
2321.78Slukem	If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
2331.78Slukem	and rebuild libc:
2341.78Slukem		make includes
2351.78Slukem		make do-lib-libc
2361.78Slukem	If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
2371.78Slukem	before rebuilding the tools.
2381.77Slukem
2391.77Slukem20021126:
2401.77Slukem	The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
2411.77Slukem	including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
2421.77Slukem	All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
2431.77Slukem	/usr/include.
2441.76Sthorpej
2451.76Sthorpej20021121:
2461.76Sthorpej	The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
2471.76Sthorpej	(and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
2481.76Sthorpej	split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
2491.76Sthorpej	This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
2501.76Sthorpej	new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding
2511.76Sthorpej	libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
2521.76Sthorpej	required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
2531.76Sthorpej	do this.
2541.76Sthorpej
2551.76Sthorpej	An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
2561.76Sthorpej	which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
2571.76Sthorpej	their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
2581.75Sthorpej
2591.75Sthorpej20021121:
2601.75Sthorpej	A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
2611.75Sthorpej	corrected.
2621.75Sthorpej
2631.75Sthorpej	NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
2641.75Sthorpej	default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking
2651.75Sthorpej	objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
2661.79Swiz	compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
2671.75Sthorpej	to the assembler.
2681.75Sthorpej
2691.75Sthorpej	Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
2701.75Sthorpej	old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
2711.75Sthorpej	incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
2721.75Sthorpej
2731.75Sthorpej	The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
2741.75Sthorpej	a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
2751.75Sthorpej	against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
2761.75Sthorpej	markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
2771.75Sthorpej	WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
2781.75Sthorpej
2791.75Sthorpej	The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
2801.75Sthorpej	the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for
2811.79Swiz	system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
2821.93Ssalo	generally available on releng.NetBSD.org.  Any packages you
2831.75Sthorpej	have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
2841.75Sthorpej	if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
2851.75Sthorpej
2861.75Sthorpej	If you have questions about this matter, please contact
2871.93Ssalo	port-arm@NetBSD.org.
2881.73Sprovos
2891.73Sprovos20021011:
2901.73Sprovos	Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
2911.73Sprovos	Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
2921.79Swiz	to be rebuilt.
2931.72Sthorpej
2941.72Sthorpej20021010:
2951.72Sthorpej	The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
2961.72Sthorpej	dependencies on attributes, as well as other options.  Users
2971.72Sthorpej	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
2981.72Sthorpej	kernel.
2991.70Sthorpej
3001.70Sthorpej20021009:
3011.70Sthorpej	A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
3021.70Sthorpej	which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users
3031.71Swiz	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
3041.70Sthorpej	kernel.
3051.69Sthorpej
3061.69Sthorpej20021003:
3071.69Sthorpej	Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
3081.69Sthorpej	framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
3091.69Sthorpej	before building a new kernel.
3101.74Sjschauma
3111.74Sjschauma20021001:
3121.74Sjschauma	The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users
3131.74Sjschauma	will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
3141.74Sjschauma	file.  Multiprocessor kernels will need
3151.74Sjschauma	ioapic*		at mainbus? apid ?
3161.74Sjschauma	options		MULTIPROCESSOR
3171.74Sjschauma	options		COM_MPLOCK
3181.68Slukem
3191.68Slukem20020922:
3201.68Slukem	MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
3211.68Slukem	certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
3221.68Slukem	linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
3231.68Slukem	and /sbin are dynamically linked.
3241.68Slukem	If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
3251.68Slukem	you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
3261.68Slukem	with:
3271.68Slukem		make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
3281.67Slukem
3291.67Slukem20020917:
3301.67Slukem	USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
3311.67Slukem	    -	TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
3321.67Slukem		there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
3331.67Slukem		x86_64).
3341.67Slukem	    -	EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
3351.79Swiz		root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This
3361.67Slukem		enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
3371.67Slukem		platforms.
3381.66Sgehenna
3391.66Sgehenna20020906:
3401.66Sgehenna	gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
3411.79Swiz	reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
3421.65Slukem
3431.65Slukem20020822:
3441.65Slukem	Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
3451.65Slukem	are now provided in /rescue.
3461.65Slukem
3471.65Slukem	To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
3481.65Slukem	what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
3491.65Slukem	from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
3501.65Slukem
3511.65Slukem20020820:
3521.65Slukem	crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
3531.65Slukem	is statically linked.
3541.65Slukem
3551.65Slukem	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
3561.84Sgrant
3571.84Sgrant20020605:
3581.84Sgrant	smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
3591.84Sgrant
3601.84Sgrant	Add the following into /etc/group:
3611.84Sgrant
3621.84Sgrant	smmsp:*:17:

3671.61Sitojun
3681.61Sitojun20020515:
3691.61Sitojun	sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd
3701.61Sitojun	will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
3711.61Sitojun
3721.61Sitojun	Add the following into /etc/group:
3731.61Sitojun
3741.61Sitojun	sshd:*:16:

3791.61Sitojun	
3801.79Swiz	Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
3811.79Swiz	the build process).
3821.60Ssommerfe
3831.60Ssommerfe20020426:
3841.60Ssommerfe	NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
3851.59Slukem
3861.59Slukem20020426:
3871.59Slukem	etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for 
3881.59Slukem	configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
3891.59Slukem	the problems identified.
3901.59Slukem	This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
3911.59Slukem	configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
3921.56Slukem
3931.56Slukem20020320:
3941.79Swiz	<bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
3951.79Swiz	Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
3961.56Slukem
3971.55Sitojun20020319:
3981.79Swiz	Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
3991.79Swiz	on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
4001.55Sitojun	newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
4011.55Sitojun
4021.54Sitojun20020311:
4031.54Sitojun	ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware
4041.54Sitojun	if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs
4051.54Sitojun	to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
4061.54Sitojun
4071.54Sitojun20020223:
4081.53Smatt	Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
4091.53Smatt	so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
4101.53Smatt	the VAX assembly files.
4111.53Smatt
4121.50Sitojun20020118:
4131.50Sitojun	ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds
4141.50Sitojun	will break as mtree aborts early.
4151.50Sitojun
4161.50Sitojun	Add the following into /etc/group:
4171.50Sitojun
4181.50Sitojun	ntpd:*:15:

4241.49Sjmc20011207:
4251.49Sjmc	If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
4261.49Sjmc	reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
4271.49Sjmc	toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
4281.49Sjmc
4291.49Sjmc	To fix:
4301.49Sjmc
4311.49Sjmc	Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
4321.49Sjmc	Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
4331.49Sjmc
4341.49Sjmc	gnu/lib/libgcc
4351.51Spooka	gnu/lib/libstdc++
4361.49Sjmc
4371.49Sjmc	After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
4381.49Sjmc
4391.47Sjmc20011201:
4401.47Sjmc	In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
4411.47Sjmc	you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
4421.52Swiz	point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
4431.47Sjmc	point is broken. 
4441.47Sjmc
4451.47Sjmc	To build:
4461.47Sjmc
4471.47Sjmc	remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
4481.47Sjmc	remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
4491.48Sjmc	against the new libgcc.a)
4501.47Sjmc
4511.46Sthorpej20011128:
4521.46Sthorpej	Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
4531.46Sthorpej	the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are
4541.46Sthorpej	required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure
4551.46Sthorpej	to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
4561.46Sthorpej	to build a new kernel.
4571.46Sthorpej
4581.45Syamt20011030:
4591.45Syamt	libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
4601.45Syamt	before building libc.
4611.43Smason
4621.44Stv20011029:
4631.44Stv	The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
4641.44Stv	see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
4651.44Stv	procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
4661.44Stv	build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
4671.44Stv	manual update log.
4681.44Stv
4691.44Stv	Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
4701.44Stv	BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes
4711.44Stv	UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
4721.44Stv	by the new build system.
4731.42Sperry
4741.42Sperry20011028:
4751.42Sperry	src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
4761.42Sperry	symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
4771.42Sperry	prevented this was corrected.
4781.42Sperry
4791.42Sperry	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
4801.42Sperry	Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
4811.42Sperry	for you.
4821.40Slukem
4831.40Slukem20011006:
4841.40Slukem	/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
4851.40Slukem	absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
4861.40Slukem	understand the format.
4871.40Slukem
4881.40Slukem	Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
4891.39Sjmc
4901.39Sjmc20011004:
4911.39Sjmc	Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
4921.39Sjmc	is suggested before running a snapshot build
4931.36Stv
4941.35Sthorpej20010915:
4951.35Sthorpej	The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
4961.35Sthorpej	a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend
4971.35Sthorpej	files that still reference this file.
4981.35Sthorpej
4991.35Sthorpej	Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
5001.35Sthorpej	directories.
5011.31Senami
5021.31Senami20010803:
5031.31Senami	grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it
5041.31Senami	requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
5051.31Senami	building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow
5061.31Senami	the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
5071.30Senami
5081.64Ssommerfe20010803: 
5091.41Swiz	(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
5101.111Ssimonb	`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the
5111.64Ssommerfe	kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain, 
5121.64Ssommerfe	(i.e., build.sh -t) or 	(temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU" 
5131.64Ssommerfe	from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
5141.64Ssommerfe	See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
5151.64Ssommerfe	[updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
5161.29Sbjh21
5171.29Sbjh2120010731:
5181.29Sbjh21	Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before
5191.29Sbjh21	this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
5201.29Sbjh21	bootloaders.
5211.27Sassar
5221.27Sassar20010726:
5231.27Sassar	Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to
5241.28Sassar	build the included texinfo files, do:
5251.28Sassar
5261.28Sassar	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
5271.28Sassar	make MKINFO=no dependall install
5281.25Sthorpej
5291.25Sthorpej20010718:
5301.25Sthorpej	Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this
5311.25Sthorpej	was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
5321.25Sthorpej	make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
5331.25Sthorpej	timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
5341.25Sthorpej
5351.25Sthorpej	The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
5361.25Sthorpej	if you have a stale dependency.
5371.25Sthorpej
5381.25Sthorpej	Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
5391.25Sthorpej	before starting your build.
5401.26Sthorpej
5411.26Sthorpej20010628:
5421.26Sthorpej	A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
5431.26Sthorpej	in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
5441.26Sthorpej	bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
5451.21Sjmc
5461.21Sjmc20010226:
5471.22Sjmc	Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
5481.21Sjmc	will break as mtree aborts early.
5491.21Sjmc
5501.21Sjmc	To work around add by hand:
5511.21Sjmc
5521.21Sjmc	named:*:14:
5531.21Sjmc
5541.22Sjmc	to /etc/group and add:
5551.22Sjmc
5561.22Sjmc	named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
5571.22Sjmc
5581.22Sjmc	to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
5591.22Sjmc
5601.22Sjmc	Now a make build should progress.
5611.18Sjmc
5621.18Sjmc20010219:
5631.52Swiz	get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
5641.111Ssimonb	to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
5651.18Sjmc
5661.111Ssimonb	Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
5671.19Scgd			usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
5681.19Scgd			  CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
5691.20Sjmc			usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
5701.111Ssimonb			  building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
5711.15Schristos
5721.15Schristos20010204:
5731.15Schristos	prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
5741.15Schristos	particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
5751.15Schristos	needs to be installed before make build.
5761.10Schristos
5771.10Schristos20010114:
5781.10Schristos	introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
5791.10Schristos	bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
5801.23Stron	anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
5811.10Schristos	with make build.
5821.9Ssommerfe
5831.9Ssommerfe20010101:
5841.9Ssommerfe	bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
5851.9Ssommerfe	afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
5861.8Ssommerfe
5871.8Ssommerfe20001230:
5881.8Ssommerfe	New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
5891.8Ssommerfe	If you get make errors, 
5901.8Ssommerfe		(cd share/mk; make install)
5911.8Ssommerfe	Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
5921.6Sad
5931.6Sad20001019:
5941.7Sad	The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
5951.6Sad	major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
5961.6Sad	directory.
5971.1Sabs
5981.4Sitojun20000929:
5991.4Sitojun	The following make directives are obsoleted.
6001.4Sitojun	MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA 
6011.4Sitojun	By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be
6021.16Swiz	built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
6031.4Sitojun	additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
6041.1Sabs
6051.1Sabs
6061.1SabsHints for a more successful build:
6071.1Sabs^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6081.123Sjmc    Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
6091.123Sjmc	This will will automatically build the tools in the
6101.123Sjmc	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
6111.123Sjmc	   new build products from interfering with the running
6121.123Sjmc	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
6131.123Sjmc	   other advice in this file.
6141.2Smrg    Build a new kernel first:
6151.2Smrg	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
6161.2Smrg	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
6171.2Smrg	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
6181.1Sabs    Use object directories:
6191.1Sabs	This helps to keep stale object
6201.1Sabs	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
6211.1Sabs	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
6221.1Sabs	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
6231.1Sabs	   same source tree for multiple machines.
6241.123Sjmc	   To use object directories with build.sh:
6251.123Sjmc	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
6261.123Sjmc	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
6271.1Sabs	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
6281.2Smrg	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
6291.2Smrg	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
6301.1Sabs	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
6311.2Smrg	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
6321.2Smrg	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
6331.1Sabs    Build to a DESTDIR:
6341.123Sjmc	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
6351.123Sjmc	   from interfering with the new build.
6361.123Sjmc	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
6371.123Sjmc	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
6381.123Sjmc	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
6391.123Sjmc	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
6401.123Sjmc	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
6411.123Sjmc		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
6421.123Sjmc		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
6431.123Sjmc		(See critical utils, below.)
6441.1Sabs    Build often:
6451.1Sabs	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
6461.1Sabs	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
6471.123Sjmc	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
6481.123Sjmc	this problem.
6491.1Sabs 
6501.1SabsWhat to do if things don't work:
6511.1Sabs^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6521.1SabsWhen things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
6531.1Sabsshould be done.
6541.1Sabs    1)	make includes
6551.1Sabs	This should be done automatically by make build.
6561.1Sabs    2)  cd share/mk && make install
6571.1Sabs	Again, automatically done by make build.
6581.1Sabs
6591.1SabsFailsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
6601.1Sabs^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6611.1SabsTo make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
6621.1Sabssomething like the following:
6631.1Sabs    1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
6641.1Sabs    2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
6651.1Sabs	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
6661.1Sabs    3)  cd ...path/to/util...
6671.1Sabs	make cleandir
6681.1Sabs	rm ...all obj directories...
6691.1Sabs	make cleandir			# yes, again
6701.1Sabs	make obj
6711.1Sabs	make depend && make
6721.1Sabs
6731.1SabsFailsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
6741.1Sabs^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6751.1SabsIf you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
6761.2Smrgready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
6771.2Smrg(a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
6781.2Smrgfor anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
