      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.

     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.

     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.

     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

     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.

     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

     87  1.247       spz 20130605:
     88  1.246    martin 	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private

     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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
