Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for 12 1.123 jmc working around specific problems with build.sh. 13 1.123 jmc 14 1.257 apb Sections are marked with "^^^^^". After the section on "Recent changes" 15 1.257 apb are several sections containing more general information. 16 1.257 apb 17 1.123 jmc See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile. 18 1.1 abs 19 1.1 abs Recent changes: 20 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 21 1.230 tls 22 1.363 martin 20241104: 23 1.363 martin Changes around the integration of the zstd compression 24 1.363 martin library may require manual deletion of some object directories 25 1.366 riastrad if you update from a build from a few days ago: 26 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libarchive* 27 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libmagic* 28 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libzstd* 29 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libarchive* 30 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libmagic* 31 1.366 riastrad rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libzstd* 32 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/file/ 33 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/libarchive/ 34 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/zstd/ 35 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/file/ 36 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/libarchive/ 37 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/zstd/ 38 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/external/gpl3/gcc/ 39 1.366 riastrad rm -rf OBJDIR/tools/gcc/ 40 1.363 martin 41 1.360 wiz 20240926: 42 1.360 wiz Building -current when running on amd64 from about 20240924 43 1.360 wiz to about 20240926 will not work due to a "malloc_np.h" 44 1.360 wiz error. Please downgrade to a version from 20240924 or older, 45 1.360 wiz or upgrade to a newer version e.g. using a binary release from 46 1.360 wiz the NetBSD build servers. 47 1.360 wiz 48 1.358 martin 20240923: 49 1.358 martin Update builds will require cleaning the object directories for 50 1.359 martin jemalloc (like: "rm -rf $OBJ/external/bsd/jemalloc*") and the 51 1.359 martin libc dependency files (like: "rm $OBJ/lib/libc/jemalloc.*"). 52 1.359 martin On architectures with COMPAT libs, those also have to be cleaned, 53 1.359 martin e.g. on sparc64: "rm -rf $OBJ/compat/sparc64/sparc/external/bsd/jemalloc*" 54 1.359 martin and "rm $OBJ/compat/sparc64/sparc/lib/libc/jemalloc.*". 55 1.358 martin 56 1.357 christos 20240817: 57 1.357 christos Update builds will require cleaning in src/external/historical/nawk/bin 58 1.357 christos in order to remove the awk binary since now there is a subdirectory 59 1.357 christos called awk. 60 1.358 martin 61 1.355 martin 20240812: 62 1.355 martin Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for gdb 63 1.355 martin if building with MKCROSSGDB=yes. All architectures use gdb.old 64 1.355 martin now. 65 1.356 riastrad 66 1.354 martin 20240630: 67 1.353 martin Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for binutils 68 1.353 martin (as most architectures should use binutils.old now). 69 1.353 martin 70 1.352 kre 20240610: 71 1.352 kre Update builds are likely to require removing the objdir for 72 1.352 kre distrib/<arch>/cdroms - or at least references to libarchive 73 1.352 kre from within there after the recent libarchive update. 74 1.352 kre 75 1.350 riastrad 20240504: 76 1.350 riastrad Update builds on x86 require making the `cleandir' target in 77 1.350 riastrad lib/libm, or deleting the objdir for lib/libm. 78 1.350 riastrad 79 1.349 maya 20240423: 80 1.349 maya Update builds with x11 may fail after switching to Mesa 21. 81 1.349 maya 82 1.346 riastrad 20240410: 83 1.346 riastrad Update builds may require manually deleting 84 1.346 riastrad $DESTDIR/var/run/named (and, potentially, 85 1.346 riastrad $DESTDIR/var/run/lwresd) in order to avoid checkflist failure. 86 1.346 riastrad 87 1.347 nia 20240409: 88 1.347 nia 32-bit compatibility libraries were moved into the base32 89 1.347 nia and debug32 sets.

An update build 113 1.342 martin without cleaning will result in obscure failures in rare corner 114 1.342 martin cases. 115 1.342 martin 116 1.339 martin 20230604: 117 1.339 martin Building native kernels with the installed make(1) instead of 118 1.339 martin the $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-${arch} wrapper will fail if userland 119 1.339 martin has not been updated. Note that this is an unsupported build 120 1.339 martin configuration (but usually works if userland is -current enough). 121 1.338 lukem 122 1.338 lukem 20230523: 123 1.338 lukem ctfmerge was fixed as macOS host tool. This may require a clean tools 124 1.338 lukem rebuild to detect the update to tools/compat/configure. 125 1.338 lukem 126 1.340 martin 20230515: 127 1.340 martin New openssl build requires removal of the crypto/external/bsd/openssl 128 1.345 andvar and tests/crypto/libcrypto subdirectories in the ${OBJDIR} hierarchy. 129 1.340 martin Otherwise test results may be wrong due to wrong "golden" output 130 1.340 martin files being installed. 131 1.340 martin 132 1.337 mrg 20230322: 133 1.337 mrg Fixes for moved /lib/libisns* mean that builds will complain about 134 1.337 mrg ./usr/lib/libisns* being missing until src/lib/libisns is forced 135 1.337 mrg to (re)install the files, including the symlinks. The simplest 136 1.337 mrg way is to clean this subdir before building. 137 1.337 mrg 138 1.336 martin 20230112: 139 1.336 martin New binutils require an updated ld.elf_so. If you are doing 140 1.336 martin (unsupported) in-place self builds (with the -E flag to build.sh), 141 1.336 martin make sure to have installed latest ld.elf_so before you rebuild 142 1.336 martin userland. 143 1.336 martin 144 1.335 chs 20221116: 145 1.335 chs The addition to NetBSD's version of UFS2 of support for extended 146 1.335 chs attributes broke backward compatibility with previous releases 147 1.335 chs of NetBSD, so UFS2 has been restored to being compatible with 148 1.335 chs previous NetBSD releases by disabling extended attributes. 149 1.335 chs (Note that ACLs are implemented as extended attributes, so 150 1.335 chs this changes disables ACLs as well.) 151 1.335 chs 152 1.335 chs Support for UFS2 with extended attributes is now available in a new 153 1.335 chs UFS variant called UFS2ea. If you have created extended attributes 154 1.335 chs in an original UFS2 file system then "fsck -p" will now fail due to 155 1.335 chs the unexpected presence of extended attributes and "fsck -y" will 156 1.335 chs remove all extended attributes. If you wish to preserve extended 157 1.335 chs attributes rather than delete them, there is a utility to convert 158 1.335 chs a UFS2 file system to UFS2ea and leave extended attributes in place, 159 1.335 chs but this should be used with caution since it will preserve any 160 1.335 chs extended attributes that have been corrupted by the backward 161 1.335 chs incompatibility too. 162 1.335 chs 163 1.335 chs If you wish to use a UFS2ea file system as your root file system, 164 1.335 chs then you will need to update your boot loader to a version that 165 1.335 chs supports UFS2ea. 166 1.335 chs 167 1.335 chs For more information, see: 168 1.335 chs https://wiki.netbsd.org/features/UFS2ea 169 1.335 chs 170 1.334 mrg 20221111: 171 1.334 mrg The new libdrm import worsened the conflict issues for the 172 1.334 mrg kdump/ktruss ioctl, and i915 now conflicts with base, and has 173 1.334 mrg been turned off. This will cause update build issues like: 174 1.334 mrg 175 1.334 mrg kdump-ioctl.c:12175:143: error: 'DRM_IOCTL_I915_DESTROY_HEAP' 176 1.334 mrg undeclared here (not in a function); 177 1.334 mrg did you mean 'DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB'? 178 1.334 mrg 179 1.334 mrg You'll need to clean usr.bin/ktruss, usr.bin/kdump, and rescue. 180 1.334 mrg 181 1.331 riastrad 20220921: 182 1.331 riastrad Since the kernel version was bumped to 9.99.100, the bootloader 183 1.333 riastrad must be updated on x86 or EFI boot platforms in order to load 184 1.333 riastrad modules from boot.cfg(5) or interactively at the bootloader 185 1.333 riastrad prompt. 186 1.333 riastrad 187 1.333 riastrad The kernel can still load modules at runtime, with modload(8) 188 1.333 riastrad or modules.conf(5), with no bootloader update. This will not 189 1.333 riastrad affect release branches because it only applies to patch 190 1.333 riastrad numbers >=100. 191 1.333 riastrad 192 1.333 riastrad On x86 (i386 or amd64) with BIOS boot, this requires copying a 193 1.333 riastrad new /usr/mdec/boot to /boot. You can build this in the destdir 194 1.333 riastrad by running `$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in 195 1.333 riastrad sys/arch/i386/stand. 196 1.333 riastrad 197 1.333 riastrad On platforms with EFI boot (including x86 with EFI boot), this 198 1.333 riastrad requires copying a new /usr/mdec/boot*.efi to the EFI/BOOT/ 199 1.333 riastrad directory on the EFI system partition. The boot*.efi file is: 200 1.333 riastrad 201 1.333 riastrad aarch64 bootaa64.efi 202 1.333 riastrad amd64 bootx64.efi 203 1.333 riastrad arm bootarm.efi (32-bit arm) 204 1.333 riastrad i386 bootx32.efi 205 1.333 riastrad 206 1.333 riastrad You can build this in the destdir by running 207 1.333 riastrad `$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in 208 1.333 riastrad sys/stand/efiboot/boot*. 209 1.331 riastrad 210 1.330 lukem 20220821: 211 1.330 lukem Support for building extsrc/ has been deprecated. 212 1.330 lukem EXTSRCSRCDIR and MKEXTSRC have been deprecated. 213 1.330 lukem 214 1.329 mrg 20220714: 215 1.329 mrg Updates to xorg-server and associated drivers may cause builds to 216 1.329 mrg fail.

Some device nodes 228 1.323 nia (in particular, ld(4) devices on the ROCKPro64) will be renumbered. 229 1.323 nia 230 1.322 martin 20211014: 231 1.323 nia MKPIE default for aarch64 has changed, a clean build is required. 232 1.322 martin 233 1.321 christos 20210917: 234 1.321 christos Changed MNT_ACLS to default to POSIX1e ACLs instead of NFSv4 235 1.321 christos ACLs, to be compatible with FreeBSD. If you are using NFSv4 ACLs 236 1.321 christos and have "acls" in /etc/fstab you'll need to change it to "nfs4acls". 237 1.321 christos 238 1.319 mrg 20210711: 239 1.319 mrg Updated GMP sources may require cleaning in tools/gmp and/or in 240 1.319 mrg external/lgpl3/gmp/lib, particularly if GCC itself does not build. 241 1.319 mrg 242 1.318 mrg 20210417: 243 1.318 mrg GCC 10 was enabled for several platforms. If builds fail in either 244 1.351 gutterid tools/gcc or external/gpl3/gcc, first try cleaning those objects and 245 1.318 mrg removing the $DESTDIR/usr/include/g++ subdirectory. 246 1.318 mrg 247 1.316 mrg 20201016: 248 1.316 mrg MIPS kernel modules have been disabled until they work.

Update builds are likely to fail. 397 1.299 mrg 398 1.1 abs Hints for a more successful build: 399 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 400 1.123 jmc Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode": 401 1.132 jmmv This will automatically build the tools in the 402 1.123 jmc correct order, and it will keep the tools and the 403 1.123 jmc new build products from interfering with the running 404 1.123 jmc system. This will allow you to ignore most of the 405 1.123 jmc other advice in this file. 406 1.2 mrg Build a new kernel first: 407 1.2 mrg This makes sure that any new system calls or features 408 1.2 mrg expected by the new userland will be present. This 409 1.2 mrg helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading. 410 1.1 abs Use object directories: 411 1.1 abs This helps to keep stale object 412 1.1 abs files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets" 413 1.1 abs about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after 414 1.1 abs a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the 415 1.1 abs same source tree for multiple machines. 416 1.123 jmc To use object directories with build.sh: 417 1.123 jmc a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options. 418 1.123 jmc To use object directories without using build.sh: 419 1.1 abs a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir 420 1.2 mrg b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf 421 1.2 mrg c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf 422 1.1 abs d) cd /usr/src ; make build 423 1.2 mrg Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create 424 1.2 mrg in obj.$MACHINE directory. 425 1.1 abs Build to a DESTDIR: 426 1.123 jmc This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries) 427 1.123 jmc from interfering with the new build. 428 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option. 429 1.123 jmc To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR 430 1.123 jmc environment variable before running make build. It should be 431 1.123 jmc set to the pathname of an initially empty directory. 432 1.123 jmc Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to 433 1.123 jmc update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since 434 1.123 jmc nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR. 435 1.123 jmc (See critical utils, below.) 436 1.1 abs Build often: 437 1.1 abs This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke 438 1.1 abs on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to 439 1.123 jmc date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have 440 1.123 jmc this problem. 441 1.241 wiz 442 1.1 abs What to do if things don't work: 443 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 444 1.230 tls When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly 445 1.1 abs should be done. 446 1.1 abs 1) make includes 447 1.1 abs This should be done automatically by make build. 448 1.1 abs 2) cd share/mk && make install 449 1.1 abs Again, automatically done by make build. 450 1.1 abs 451 1.1 abs Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree: 452 1.1 abs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 453 1.1 abs To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do 454 1.1 abs something like the following: 455 1.1 abs 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date. 456 1.1 abs 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular 457 1.1 abs utility is up to date.
