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.

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

694 Critical utilities:
695 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
696 gnu/usr.bin/egcs

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.
747
748 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
749 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
750
751 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
752 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
