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.

22 1.263 dholland 20150818:
23 1.263 dholland New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
24 1.263 dholland again.
25 1.263 dholland
26 1.262 christos 20150413:
27 1.262 christos New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
28 1.262 christos in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
29 1.262 christos also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
30 1.262 christos
31 1.261 martin 20150404:
32 1.261 martin Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
33 1.261 martin sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
34 1.261 martin do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
35 1.261 martin src/usr.bin/xlint.
36 1.261 martin
37 1.260 skrll 20150310:
38 1.260 skrll Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
39 1.260 skrll the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
40 1.260 skrll external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
41 1.260 skrll
42 1.258 martin 20141026:
43 1.259 msaitoh A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
44 1.258 martin in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
45 1.258 martin during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
46 1.258 martin directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
47 1.258 martin and let cvs restore it on next update.
48 1.258 martin
49 1.256 apb 20140721:
50 1.256 apb The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
51 1.256 apb and then deleted in the CVS repository. If you get errors like
52 1.256 apb
53 1.256 apb cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
54 1.256 apb /cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
55 1.256 apb
56 1.256 apb then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
57 1.256 apb
58 1.255 joerg 20140530:
59 1.255 joerg ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
60 1.255 joerg rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
61 1.255 joerg
62 1.251 martin 20140131:
63 1.253 joerg The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
64 1.254 skrll advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
65 1.253 joerg of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
66 1.251 martin
67 1.250 christos 20131227:
68 1.250 christos 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
69 1.250 christos attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
70 1.250 christos mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
71 1.250 christos statements to avoid being exposed.
72 1.250 christos 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
73 1.250 christos to make clean in libc
74 1.250 christos
75 1.249 mrg 20131129:
76 1.249 mrg The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
77 1.249 mrg cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
78 1.249 mrg
79 1.248 mrg 20131128:
80 1.248 mrg The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
81 1.248 mrg tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
82 1.248 mrg
83 1.246 martin 20130605:
84 1.247 spz The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
85 1.247 spz to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
86 1.247 spz
87 1.247 spz 20130605:
88 1.246 martin Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
89 1.246 martin header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
90 1.246 martin please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
91 1.246 martin
92 1.245 mrg 20130531:
93 1.245 mrg The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
94 1.245 mrg in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
95 1.245 mrg nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
96 1.245 mrg is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
97 1.245 mrg
98 1.244 mrg 20130530:
99 1.244 mrg Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
100 1.244 mrg Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
101 1.244 mrg
102 1.242 christos 20130301:
103 1.242 christos The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
104 1.243 christos prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
105 1.242 christos
106 1.238 dholland 20120726:
107 1.241 wiz The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
108 1.241 wiz directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
109 1.240 dholland DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
110 1.241 wiz some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
111 1.240 dholland cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
112 1.238 dholland
113 1.237 wiz 20120507:
114 1.241 wiz The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
115 1.237 wiz need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
116 1.237 wiz for the next weekly run to fix it.
117 1.237 wiz
118 1.236 bsh 20120319:
119 1.236 bsh sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
120 1.236 bsh size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
121 1.236 bsh your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
122 1.236 bsh you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
123 1.236 bsh mk.conf.
124 1.236 bsh
125 1.235 joerg 20120216:
126 1.241 wiz Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
127 1.241 wiz unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
128 1.239 dholland and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
129 1.241 wiz /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
130 1.235 joerg the next run of weekly will fix it.
131 1.233 joerg
132 1.232 christos 20111227:
133 1.232 christos If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
134 1.232 christos /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
135 1.232 christos bump has been reverted.
136 1.232 christos
137 1.231 tls 20111125:
138 1.231 tls The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
139 1.231 tls means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
140 1.231 tls configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
141 1.231 tls removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
142 1.231 tls
143 1.230 tls 20111119:
144 1.230 tls A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
145 1.230 tls utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
146 1.230 tls bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
147 1.230 tls non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
148 1.230 tls replace your rndctl executable too.
149 1.241 wiz
150 1.229 jym 20111001:
151 1.229 jym the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
152 1.229 jym changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
153 1.241 wiz one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
154 1.229 jym quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
155 1.229 jym
156 1.228 mrg 20110817:
157 1.228 mrg sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
158 1.228 mrg DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
159 1.228 mrg
160 1.227 riastrad 20110806:
161 1.227 riastrad i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
162 1.227 riastrad objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
163 1.227 riastrad
164 1.226 mrg 20110805:
165 1.226 mrg The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
166 1.226 mrg the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
167 1.226 mrg DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
168 1.226 mrg sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
169 1.226 mrg
170 1.225 matt 20110803:
171 1.241 wiz The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
172 1.225 matt update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
173 1.225 matt for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
174 1.225 matt is now a directory.
175 1.225 matt
176 1.223 joerg 20110410:
177 1.241 wiz The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
178 1.224 dholland update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
179 1.224 dholland tools/gcc by hand.
180 1.223 joerg
181 1.222 plunky 20110328:
182 1.222 plunky Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
183 1.241 wiz ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
184 1.222 plunky the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
185 1.222 plunky if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
186 1.222 plunky directory.
187 1.222 plunky
188 1.220 joerg 20110121:
189 1.221 lukem Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
190 1.220 joerg the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
191 1.220 joerg correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
192 1.220 joerg and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
193 1.218 joerg
194 1.217 jruoho 20101217:
195 1.217 jruoho The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
196 1.241 wiz by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
197 1.217 jruoho group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
198 1.217 jruoho
199 1.216 christos 20101125:
200 1.216 christos The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
201 1.241 wiz variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
202 1.241 wiz assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
203 1.216 christos old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
204 1.216 christos break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
205 1.216 christos so building gcc will end up printing:
206 1.216 christos checking dependency style of gcc... none
207 1.216 christos configure: error: no usable dependency style found
208 1.216 christos Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
209 1.138 lukem
210 1.215 mrg 20101119:
211 1.215 mrg Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
212 1.215 mrg or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
213 1.215 mrg have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
214 1.215 mrg versions between xorg-server and drivers.
215 1.215 mrg
216 1.213 jmmv 20100604:
217 1.213 jmmv The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
218 1.213 jmmv unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
219 1.213 jmmv you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
220 1.213 jmmv trees by hand.
221 1.213 jmmv
222 1.211 tnozaki 20100522:
223 1.212 mrg Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
224 1.212 mrg problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
225 1.212 mrg build problems with xsrc.
226 1.212 mrg
227 1.212 mrg 20100522:
228 1.211 tnozaki private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
229 1.214 dholland include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
230 1.211 tnozaki
231 1.210 christos 20100520:
232 1.241 wiz The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
233 1.210 christos remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
234 1.210 christos
235 1.209 njoly 20100222:
236 1.209 njoly The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
237 1.209 njoly .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
238 1.209 njoly libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
239 1.209 njoly your object directories.
240 1.209 njoly
241 1.208 roy 20100204:
242 1.208 roy The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
243 1.208 roy but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
244 1.208 roy from the system when upgrading.
245 1.208 roy As such, you will need to remove them from your object
246 1.208 roy and destination directories.
247 1.208 roy
248 1.203 dyoung 20091101:
249 1.205 dholland After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
250 1.205 dholland target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
251 1.205 dholland 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
252 1.205 dholland src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
253 1.203 dyoung
254 1.202 mrg 20091001:
255 1.206 dholland On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
256 1.206 dholland before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
257 1.206 dholland
258 1.206 dholland 20091001:
259 1.202 mrg An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
260 1.202 mrg symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
261 1.202 mrg it is in, and retry your build.
262 1.202 mrg
263 1.201 dsl 20090718:
264 1.201 dsl libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
265 1.241 wiz point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
266 1.201 dsl may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
267 1.201 dsl (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
268 1.201 dsl
269 1.198 mrg 20090709:
270 1.198 mrg Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
271 1.198 mrg without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
272 1.198 mrg
273 1.197 mrg 20090616:
274 1.197 mrg Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
275 1.197 mrg src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
276 1.197 mrg work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
277 1.197 mrg subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
278 1.197 mrg be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
279 1.197 mrg
280 1.195 perry 20090501:
281 1.195 perry Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
282 1.195 perry can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
283 1.241 wiz who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
284 1.195 perry note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
285 1.195 perry failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
286 1.195 perry objects and start again.
287 1.195 perry
288 1.194 mrg 20090325:
289 1.194 mrg The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
290 1.194 mrg cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
291 1.194 mrg
292 1.192 skrll 20090126:
293 1.241 wiz The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
294 1.207 mbalmer need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
295 1.207 mbalmer to avoid using the old assembly stub.
296 1.192 skrll
297 1.191 joerg 20090202:
298 1.191 joerg pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
299 1.191 joerg detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
300 1.191 joerg ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
301 1.191 joerg
302 1.184 christos 20090110:
303 1.241 wiz time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
304 1.241 wiz 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
305 1.188 christos This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
306 1.188 christos conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
307 1.184 christos 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
308 1.184 christos before installing.
309 1.184 christos 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
310 1.241 wiz your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
311 1.184 christos are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
312 1.184 christos and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
313 1.241 wiz libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
314 1.184 christos the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
315 1.184 christos 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
316 1.189 hubertf rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
317 1.189 hubertf Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
318 1.189 hubertf that depend on it.
319 1.186 christos 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
320 1.186 christos will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
321 1.190 apb 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
322 1.190 apb lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
323 1.241 wiz for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
324 1.190 apb upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
325 1.190 apb boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
326 1.190 apb newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
327 1.190 apb files manually.
328 1.190 apb 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
329 1.190 apb accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
330 1.190 apb removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
331 1.190 apb /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
332 1.190 apb the file.
333 1.196 dholland 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
334 1.241 wiz disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
335 1.196 dholland using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,

351 1.182 tsutsui On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
352 1.180 wiz file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
353 1.180 wiz Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
354 1.179 tsutsui following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
355 1.179 tsutsui
356 1.179 tsutsui - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
357 1.179 tsutsui
358 1.179 tsutsui - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
359 1.180 wiz for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
360 1.179 tsutsui
361 1.180 wiz If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
362 1.180 wiz the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
363 1.180 wiz file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.

394 1.175 simonb and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
395 1.175 simonb don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
396 1.176 simonb especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL

449 1.165 jmmv The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
450 1.165 jmmv You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
451 1.165 jmmv to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
452 1.165 jmmv now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct

456 1.164 gdt 20070913:
457 1.164 gdt A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
458 1.164 gdt enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
459 1.164 gdt problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
460 1.164 gdt implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
461 1.164 gdt could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
462 1.164 gdt normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
463 1.164 gdt sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
464 1.164 gdt and userland are from after 20070913.
465 1.164 gdt
466 1.163 joerg 20070703:

472 1.161 dsl 20070422:
473 1.161 dsl The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
474 1.161 dsl has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
475 1.161 dsl to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
476 1.241 wiz root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
477 1.167 wiz root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
478 1.161 dsl start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
479 1.161 dsl that has such links.
480 1.161 dsl This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
481 1.161 dsl the emulated root.

503 1.157 apb 20070209:
504 1.157 apb The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
505 1.157 apb was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
506 1.157 apb kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
507 1.157 apb library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
508 1.157 apb an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
509 1.157 apb (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
510 1.157 apb the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
511 1.157 apb continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
512 1.157 apb is the only threaded application in the base system.

552 1.1 abs Hints for a more successful build:
553 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
554 1.123 jmc Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
555 1.132 jmmv This will automatically build the tools in the
556 1.123 jmc correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
557 1.123 jmc new build products from interfering with the running
558 1.123 jmc system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
559 1.123 jmc other advice in this file.
560 1.2 mrg Build a new kernel first:
561 1.2 mrg This makes sure that any new system calls or features
562 1.2 mrg expected by the new userland will be present. This
563 1.2 mrg helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
564 1.1 abs Use object directories:
565 1.1 abs This helps to keep stale object
566 1.1 abs files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
567 1.1 abs about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
568 1.1 abs a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
569 1.1 abs same source tree for multiple machines.
570 1.123 jmc To use object directories with build.sh:
571 1.123 jmc a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
572 1.123 jmc To use object directories without using build.sh:
573 1.1 abs a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
574 1.2 mrg b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
575 1.2 mrg c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
576 1.1 abs d) cd /usr/src ; make build
577 1.2 mrg Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
578 1.2 mrg in obj.$MACHINE directory.
579 1.1 abs Build to a DESTDIR:
580 1.123 jmc This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
581 1.123 jmc from interfering with the new build.
582 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
583 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
584 1.123 jmc environment variable before running make build. It should be
585 1.123 jmc set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
586 1.123 jmc Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
587 1.123 jmc update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
588 1.123 jmc nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
589 1.123 jmc (See critical utils, below.)
590 1.1 abs Build often:
591 1.1 abs This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
592 1.1 abs on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
593 1.123 jmc date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
594 1.123 jmc this problem.

605 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
606 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
607 1.1 abs To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
608 1.1 abs something like the following:
609 1.1 abs 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
610 1.1 abs 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
611 1.1 abs utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
612 1.1 abs 3) cd ...path/to/util...
613 1.1 abs make cleandir

617 1.1 abs make depend && make
618 1.1 abs
619 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:

621 1.1 abs If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
622 1.2 mrg ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf

710 1.257 apb
711 1.257 apb Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
712 1.257 apb No such file or directory.
713 1.257 apb Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
714 1.257 apb deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
715 1.257 apb that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
716 1.257 apb contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
717 1.257 apb server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
718 1.257 apb Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
719 1.257 apb and try the update again.
