UPDATING revision 1.123
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.123 2004/06/13 08:08:43 jmc Exp $
      2 
      3 This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
      4 changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
      5 what to do if something doesn't work.
      6 
      7 For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
      8 using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
      9 
     10 Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
     11 build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
     12 working around specific problems with build.sh.
     13 
     14 See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.
     15 
     16 Recent changes:
     17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     18 
     19 20040516:
     20 	The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
     21 	from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
     22 	Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
     23 	"make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
     24 
     25 20040426:
     26 	Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
     27 	been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects
     28 	consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
     29 	the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to
     30 	be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
     31 	the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
     32 	built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
     33 	will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
     34 	2004/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
     35 	does not work, make sure that your revision of
     36 	src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
     37 	do the following:
     38 
     39 	cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
     40 	make USETOOLS=no includes
     41 	cd lib/libc
     42 	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
     43 	cd ../../sbin/sysctl
     44 	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
     45 
     46 	If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
     47 	identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
     48 	"unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,
     49 	make sure to follow the above steps.
     50 
     51 20040425:
     52 	The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
     53 	are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
     54 	sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
     55 	invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
     56 	automated by those scripts.  Note that under certain circumstances,
     57 	affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
     58 	upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
     59 	encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
     60 	filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
     61 	possible.  For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
     62 
     63 20040418:
     64 	statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
     65 	installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
     66 	a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
     67 	build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
     68 	clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
     69 	anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
     70 	from the libc build directory.
     71 
     72 20040326:
     73 	The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
     74 	has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
     75 	and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
     76 	to build it.
     77 
     78 	This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
     79 	building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
     80 
     81 20040318:
     82 	A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
     83 	provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
     84 	notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
     85 	ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
     86 	recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
     87 	(recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
     88 
     89 20040313:
     90 	On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
     91 	the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files
     92 	will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
     93 	for examples.
     94 
     95 20040125:
     96 	On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
     97 	needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
     98 	files.
     99 
    100 20040109:
    101 	Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
    102 	added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
    103 	when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current
    104 	since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
    105 	superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have
    106 	an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
    107 	to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has
    108 	been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
    109 	See the following discussion for more information:
    110 	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
    111 
    112 20031203:
    113 	New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
    114 	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
    115 	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
    116 
    117 20031111:
    118 	A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is
    119 		cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
    120 
    121 20031008:
    122 	/usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
    123 	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
    124 	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
    125 
    126 20031007:
    127 	A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
    128 	of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags.  This should only
    129 	affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
    130 	A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
    131 	should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
    132 	to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See
    133 	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
    134 
    135 20030906:
    136 	With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
    137 	code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
    138 	kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
    139 
    140 20030801:
    141 	With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
    142 	rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
    143 	/usr/lib/libdes* before building.
    144 
    145 20030703:
    146 	Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to
    147 	build the included texinfo files, do:
    148 
    149 	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
    150 	make MKINFO=no dependall install
    151 
    152 20030630:
    153 	Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
    154 		cd share/mk && make install
    155 		cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
    156 		make MKMAN=no dependall install
    157 	(untested).
    158 
    159 20030516:
    160 	Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
    161 	were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
    162 	mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
    163 	been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
    164 	export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
    165 	make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
    166 	file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
    167 	a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
    168 
    169 20030402:
    170 	The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
    171 	fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
    172 	with the first alternate, because they compare too many
    173 	fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
    174 	your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
    175 	None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
    176 
    177 20030324:
    178 	sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is
    179 	now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
    180 	mode for most common activities, there is a new config
    181 	file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
    182 	The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
    183 	is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail
    184 	configuration file is also strongly advised.
    185 
    186 	See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
    187 	the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
    188 	information.
    189 
    190 20030117:
    191 	Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to
    192 	build the included texinfo files, do:
    193 
    194 	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
    195 	make MKINFO=no dependall install
    196 
    197 20021223:
    198 	The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
    199 	"${DESTDIR}" from path names.
    200 	This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
    201 	For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
    202 	update tools/mtree, before running make build.
    203 
    204 20021219:
    205 	CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details
    206 	if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
    207 
    208 	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
    209 
    210 20021219:
    211 	install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
    212 	alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
    213 	of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
    214 
    215 	The build system was modified to take advantage of
    216 	this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
    217 	use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
    218 	reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
    219 
    220 20021130:
    221 	fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
    222 	If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
    223 	and rebuild libc:
    224 		make includes
    225 		make do-lib-libc
    226 	If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
    227 	before rebuilding the tools.
    228 
    229 20021126:
    230 	The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
    231 	including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
    232 	All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
    233 	/usr/include.
    234 
    235 20021121:
    236 	The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
    237 	(and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
    238 	split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
    239 	This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
    240 	new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding
    241 	libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
    242 	required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
    243 	do this.
    244 
    245 	An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
    246 	which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
    247 	their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
    248 
    249 20021121:
    250 	A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
    251 	corrected.
    252 
    253 	NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
    254 	default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking
    255 	objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
    256 	compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
    257 	to the assembler.
    258 
    259 	Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
    260 	old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
    261 	incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
    262 
    263 	The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
    264 	a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
    265 	against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
    266 	markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
    267 	WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
    268 
    269 	The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
    270 	the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for
    271 	system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
    272 	generally available on releng.NetBSD.org.  Any packages you
    273 	have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
    274 	if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
    275 
    276 	If you have questions about this matter, please contact
    277 	port-arm (a] NetBSD.org.
    278 
    279 20021011:
    280 	Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
    281 	Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
    282 	to be rebuilt.
    283 
    284 20021010:
    285 	The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
    286 	dependencies on attributes, as well as other options.  Users
    287 	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
    288 	kernel.
    289 
    290 20021009:
    291 	A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
    292 	which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users
    293 	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
    294 	kernel.
    295 
    296 20021003:
    297 	Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
    298 	framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
    299 	before building a new kernel.
    300 
    301 20021001:
    302 	The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users
    303 	will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
    304 	file.  Multiprocessor kernels will need
    305 	ioapic*		at mainbus? apid ?
    306 	options		MULTIPROCESSOR
    307 	options		COM_MPLOCK
    308 
    309 20020922:
    310 	MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
    311 	certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
    312 	linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
    313 	and /sbin are dynamically linked.
    314 	If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
    315 	you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
    316 	with:
    317 		make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
    318 
    319 20020917:
    320 	USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
    321 	    -	TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
    322 		there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
    323 		x86_64).
    324 	    -	EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
    325 		root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This
    326 		enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
    327 		platforms.
    328 
    329 20020906:
    330 	gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
    331 	reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
    332 
    333 20020822:
    334 	Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
    335 	are now provided in /rescue.
    336 
    337 	To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
    338 	what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
    339 	from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
    340 
    341 20020820:
    342 	crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
    343 	is statically linked.
    344 
    345 	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
    346 
    347 20020605:
    348 	smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
    349 
    350 	Add the following into /etc/group:
    351 
    352 	smmsp:*:17:
    353 
    354 	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
    355 
    356 	smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
    357 
    358 20020515:
    359 	sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd
    360 	will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
    361 
    362 	Add the following into /etc/group:
    363 
    364 	sshd:*:16:
    365 
    366 	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
    367 
    368 	sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin
    369 	
    370 	Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
    371 	the build process).
    372 
    373 20020426:
    374 	NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
    375 
    376 20020426:
    377 	etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for 
    378 	configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
    379 	the problems identified.
    380 	This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
    381 	configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
    382 
    383 20020320:
    384 	<bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
    385 	Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
    386 
    387 20020319:
    388 	Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
    389 	on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
    390 	newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
    391 
    392 20020311:
    393 	ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware
    394 	if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs
    395 	to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
    396 
    397 20020223:
    398 	Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
    399 	so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
    400 	the VAX assembly files.
    401 
    402 20020118:
    403 	ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds
    404 	will break as mtree aborts early.
    405 
    406 	Add the following into /etc/group:
    407 
    408 	ntpd:*:15:
    409 
    410 	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
    411 
    412 	ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin
    413 
    414 20011207:
    415 	If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
    416 	reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
    417 	toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
    418 
    419 	To fix:
    420 
    421 	Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
    422 	Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
    423 
    424 	gnu/lib/libgcc
    425 	gnu/lib/libstdc++
    426 
    427 	After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
    428 
    429 20011201:
    430 	In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
    431 	you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
    432 	point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
    433 	point is broken. 
    434 
    435 	To build:
    436 
    437 	remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
    438 	remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
    439 	against the new libgcc.a)
    440 
    441 20011128:
    442 	Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
    443 	the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are
    444 	required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure
    445 	to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
    446 	to build a new kernel.
    447 
    448 20011030:
    449 	libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
    450 	before building libc.
    451 
    452 20011029:
    453 	The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
    454 	see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
    455 	procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
    456 	build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
    457 	manual update log.
    458 
    459 	Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
    460 	BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes
    461 	UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
    462 	by the new build system.
    463 
    464 20011028:
    465 	src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
    466 	symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
    467 	prevented this was corrected.
    468 
    469 	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
    470 	Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
    471 	for you.
    472 
    473 20011006:
    474 	/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
    475 	absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
    476 	understand the format.
    477 
    478 	Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
    479 
    480 20011004:
    481 	Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
    482 	is suggested before running a snapshot build
    483 
    484 20010915:
    485 	The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
    486 	a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend
    487 	files that still reference this file.
    488 
    489 	Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
    490 	directories.
    491 
    492 20010803:
    493 	grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it
    494 	requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
    495 	building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow
    496 	the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
    497 
    498 20010803: 
    499 	(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
    500 	`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the
    501 	kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain, 
    502 	(i.e., build.sh -t) or 	(temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU" 
    503 	from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
    504 	See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
    505 	[updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
    506 
    507 20010731:
    508 	Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before
    509 	this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
    510 	bootloaders.
    511 
    512 20010726:
    513 	Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to
    514 	build the included texinfo files, do:
    515 
    516 	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
    517 	make MKINFO=no dependall install
    518 
    519 20010718:
    520 	Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this
    521 	was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
    522 	make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
    523 	timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
    524 
    525 	The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
    526 	if you have a stale dependency.
    527 
    528 	Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
    529 	before starting your build.
    530 
    531 20010628:
    532 	A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
    533 	in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
    534 	bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
    535 
    536 20010226:
    537 	Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
    538 	will break as mtree aborts early.
    539 
    540 	To work around add by hand:
    541 
    542 	named:*:14:
    543 
    544 	to /etc/group and add:
    545 
    546 	named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
    547 
    548 	to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
    549 
    550 	Now a make build should progress.
    551 
    552 20010219:
    553 	get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
    554 	to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
    555 
    556 	Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
    557 			usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
    558 			  CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
    559 			usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
    560 			  building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
    561 
    562 20010204:
    563 	prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
    564 	particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
    565 	needs to be installed before make build.
    566 
    567 20010114:
    568 	introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
    569 	bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
    570 	anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
    571 	with make build.
    572 
    573 20010101:
    574 	bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
    575 	afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
    576 
    577 20001230:
    578 	New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
    579 	If you get make errors, 
    580 		(cd share/mk; make install)
    581 	Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
    582 
    583 20001019:
    584 	The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
    585 	major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
    586 	directory.
    587 
    588 20000929:
    589 	The following make directives are obsoleted.
    590 	MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA 
    591 	By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be
    592 	built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
    593 	additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
    594 
    595 
    596 Hints for a more successful build:
    597 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    598     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    599 	This will will automatically build the tools in the
    600 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    601 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    602 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    603 	   other advice in this file.
    604     Build a new kernel first:
    605 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    606 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    607 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    608     Use object directories:
    609 	This helps to keep stale object
    610 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    611 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    612 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    613 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    614 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    615 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    616 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    617 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    618 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    619 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    620 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    621 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    622 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    623     Build to a DESTDIR:
    624 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    625 	   from interfering with the new build.
    626 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    627 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    628 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    629 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    630 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    631 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    632 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    633 		(See critical utils, below.)
    634     Build often:
    635 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    636 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    637 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    638 	this problem.
    639  
    640 What to do if things don't work:
    641 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    642 When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
    643 should be done.
    644     1)	make includes
    645 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    646     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    647 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    648 
    649 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    650 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    651 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    652 something like the following:
    653     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    654     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    655 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    656     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    657 	make cleandir
    658 	rm ...all obj directories...
    659 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    660 	make obj
    661 	make depend && make
    662 
    663 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    664 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    665 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    666 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    667 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    668 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    669 
    670 ---cut here---
    671 #!/bin/sh
    672 . /etc/mk.conf
    673 
    674 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    675     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    676 fi
    677 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    678     echo Unable to find sources
    679     exit 1
    680 fi
    681 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    682 
    683 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    684     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    685 fi
    686 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    687     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    688 fi
    689 
    690 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
    691 
    692 ---cut here---
    693 
    694 Critical utilities:
    695 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    696 	gnu/usr.bin/egcs
    697 	usr.bin/compile_et
    698 	usr.bin/make
    699 	usr.bin/yacc
    700 	usr.bin/lex
    701 	usr.bin/xlint
    702 	usr.sbin/config
    703 
    704 Other problems and possible solutions:
    705 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    706 Symptom:Unreasonable compiler errors.
    707 Fix:	Rebuild gnu/usr.bin/egcs
    708 
    709 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
    710 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
    711 	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
    712 	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
    713 	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
    714 
    715 Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
    716 	cd share/mk && make install
    717 
    718 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
    719 Fix:	Rebuild usr.sbin/config
    720 
    721 Symptom:
    722 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
    723 
    724 Symptom:
    725 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
    726 
    727 Symptom:
    728 Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
    729 
    730 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
    731 Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
    732 	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
    733 	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
    734 	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
    735 
    736 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
    737 Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
    738 
    739 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
    740 Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
    741 
    742 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
    743 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    744 
    745 Symptom:usr.sbin/config fails to build.
    746 Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
