UPDATING revision 1.152
1$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.152 2006/11/09 18:20:59 christos Exp $

3This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12working around specific problems with build.sh.

16Recent changes:
17^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
18
1920061108:
20	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
21	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
22	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
23	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
24
2520061009:
26	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
27	available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
28
2920060814:
30	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
31	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
32	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
33	few years should cope.
34
3520060703:
36	MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
37	if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
38	to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
39
4020060627:
41	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
42	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
43	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
44	errors will result.
45
4620060526:
47	The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen 
48	(sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
49	load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
50	(like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
51	will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
52	with an error like:
53	    ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
54		non constant expression for load base
55	You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
56	and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
57	way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
58	that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
59	installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
60
6120060131:
62	the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
63	the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
64	you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
65	/usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
66	src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
67
6820050917:
69	arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
70	contains MI options previously enabled by default.
71	If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
72	arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
73	to get the previous configuration.
74
7520050830:
76	named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
77	postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
78	Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
79	this in their DESTDIR.
80
8120050825:
82	Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
83	attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
84	modified to emit the new data structures.
85	Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
86	configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
87
8820050531:
89	genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
90	tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
91	you can build a kernel again.
92
9320050520:
94	Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
95	xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
96
9720050417:
98	postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
99	of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
100	upgrade.
101
10220050325:
103	pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4).  Be sure
104	to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
105	configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
106	with wsconsctl.  Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
107	might even not hear any more beep.  Also, it is advised to attach both
108	devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
109	pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
110
11120050211:
112	Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
113	some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
114	cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
115	different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
116	make a build continue.
117
11820050109:
119	Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
120	/etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
121	for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
122	a password).
123
12420041229:
125	Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
126	being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
127	you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
128	the build.
129
13020041201:
131	Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
132	/dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
133	MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
134
13520041006:
136
137	A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
138	variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
139	will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
140	on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
141
142        ident /bin/sh | grep var
143
144	Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
145	before attempting a build.
146	
14720041001:
148	The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
149	dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
150	dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
151	before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
152	ftp-proxy are the victims).
153
15420040715:
155	The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
156	if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the
157	contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
158	owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
159	to the mail infrastructure have been made.  If no changes
160	are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
161
162	Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
163
164	If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
165	local delivery, it is important that you also update your
166	sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
167	loopback interface.
168
16920040715:
170	The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
171	kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version
172	of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
173
17420040621:
175	Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
176	from a clean objdir under tools/*.
177
178	This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
179	to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
180
181	The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
182
18320040516:
184	The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
185	from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
186	Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
187	"make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
188
189	postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
190	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
191	detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
192	manually move these files yourself.
193
19420040426:
195	Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
196	been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects
197	consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
198	the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to
199	be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
200	the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
201	built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
202	will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
203	2004/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
204	does not work, make sure that your revision of
205	src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
206	do the following:
207
208	cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
209	make USETOOLS=no includes
210	cd lib/libc
211	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
212	cd ../../sbin/sysctl
213	make USETOOLS=no dependall install
214
215	If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
216	identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
217	"unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,
218	make sure to follow the above steps.
219
22020040425:
221	The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
222	are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
223	sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
224	invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
225	automated by those scripts.  Note that under certain circumstances,
226	affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
227	upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
228	encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
229	filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
230	possible.  For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
231
23220040418:
233	statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
234	installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
235	a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
236	build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
237	clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
238	anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
239	from the libc build directory.
240
24120040326:
242	The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
243	has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
244	and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
245	to build it.
246
247	This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
248	building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
249
25020040318:
251	A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
252	provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
253	notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
254	ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
255	recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
256	(recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
257
25820040313:
259	On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
260	the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files
261	will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
262	for examples.
263
26420040125:
265	On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
266	needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
267	files.
268
26920040109:
270	Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
271	added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
272	when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current
273	since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
274	superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have
275	an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
276	to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has
277	been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
278	See the following discussion for more information:
279	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
280
28120031203:
282	New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
283	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
284	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
285
28620031111:
287	A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is
288		cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
289
29020031008:
291	/usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
292	It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
293	the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
294
29520031007:
296	A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
297	of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags.  This should only
298	affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
299	A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
300	should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
301	to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See
302	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
303
30420030906:
305	With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
306	code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
307	kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
308
30920030801:
310	With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
311	rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
312	/usr/lib/libdes* before building.
313
31420030703:
315	Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to
316	build the included texinfo files, do:
317
318	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
319	make MKINFO=no dependall install
320
32120030630:
322	Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
323		cd share/mk && make install
324		cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
325		make MKMAN=no dependall install
326	(untested).
327
32820030516:
329	Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
330	were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
331	mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
332	been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
333	export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
334	make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
335	file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
336	a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
337
33820030402:
339	The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
340	fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
341	with the first alternate, because they compare too many
342	fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
343	your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
344	None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
345
34620030324:
347	sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is
348	now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
349	mode for most common activities, there is a new config
350	file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
351	The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
352	is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail
353	configuration file is also strongly advised.
354
355	See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
356	the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
357	information.
358
35920030117:
360	Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to
361	build the included texinfo files, do:
362
363	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
364	make MKINFO=no dependall install
365
36620021223:
367	The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
368	"${DESTDIR}" from path names.
369	This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
370	For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
371	update tools/mtree, before running make build.
372
37320021219:
374	CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details
375	if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
376
377	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
378
37920021219:
380	install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
381	alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
382	of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
383
384	The build system was modified to take advantage of
385	this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
386	use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
387	reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
388
38920021130:
390	fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
391	If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
392	and rebuild libc:
393		make includes
394		make do-lib-libc
395	If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
396	before rebuilding the tools.
397
39820021126:
399	The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
400	including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
401	All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
402	/usr/include.
403
40420021121:
405	The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
406	(and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
407	split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
408	This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
409	new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding
410	libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
411	required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
412	do this.
413
414	An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
415	which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
416	their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
417
41820021121:
419	A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
420	corrected.
421
422	NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
423	default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking
424	objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
425	compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
426	to the assembler.
427
428	Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
429	old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
430	incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
431
432	The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
433	a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
434	against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
435	markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
436	WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
437
438	The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
439	the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for
440	system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
441	generally available on releng.NetBSD.org.  Any packages you
442	have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
443	if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
444
445	If you have questions about this matter, please contact
446	port-arm@NetBSD.org.
447
44820021011:
449	Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
450	Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
451	to be rebuilt.
452
45320021010:
454	The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
455	dependencies on attributes, as well as other options.  Users
456	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
457	kernel.
458
45920021009:
460	A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
461	which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users
462	must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
463	kernel.
464
46520021003:
466	Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
467	framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
468	before building a new kernel.
469
47020021001:
471	The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users
472	will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
473	file.  Multiprocessor kernels will need
474	ioapic*		at mainbus? apid ?
475	options		MULTIPROCESSOR
476	options		COM_MPLOCK
477
47820020922:
479	MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
480	certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
481	linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
482	and /sbin are dynamically linked.
483	If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
484	you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
485	with:

487
48820020917:
489	USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
490	    -	TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
491		there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
492		x86_64).
493	    -	EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
494		root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This
495		enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
496		platforms.
497
49820020906:
499	gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
500	reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
501
50220020822:
503	Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
504	are now provided in /rescue.
505
506	To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
507	what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
508	from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
509
51020020820:
511	crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
512	is statically linked.
513
514	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
515
51620020605:
517	smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
518
519	Add the following into /etc/group:
520
521	smmsp:*:17:
522
523	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
524
525	smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
526
52720020515:
528	sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd
529	will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
530
531	Add the following into /etc/group:
532
533	sshd:*:16:
534
535	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
536
537	sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin
538	
539	Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
540	the build process).
541
54220020426:
543	NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
544
54520020426:
546	etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for 
547	configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
548	the problems identified.
549	This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
550	configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
551
55220020320:
553	<bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
554	Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
555
55620020319:
557	Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
558	on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
559	newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
560
56120020311:
562	ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware
563	if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs
564	to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
565
56620020223:
567	Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
568	so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
569	the VAX assembly files.
570
57120020118:
572	ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds
573	will break as mtree aborts early.
574
575	Add the following into /etc/group:
576
577	ntpd:*:15:
578
579	and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
580
581	ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin
582
58320011207:
584	If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
585	reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
586	toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
587
588	To fix:
589
590	Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
591	Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
592
593	gnu/lib/libgcc
594	gnu/lib/libstdc++
595
596	After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
597
59820011201:
599	In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
600	you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
601	point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
602	point is broken. 
603
604	To build:
605
606	remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
607	remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
608	against the new libgcc.a)
609
61020011128:
611	Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
612	the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are
613	required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure
614	to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
615	to build a new kernel.
616
61720011030:
618	libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
619	before building libc.
620
62120011029:
622	The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
623	see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
624	procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
625	build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
626	manual update log.
627
628	Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
629	BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes
630	UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
631	by the new build system.
632
63320011028:
634	src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
635	symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
636	prevented this was corrected.
637
638	Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
639	Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
640	for you.
641
64220011006:
643	/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
644	absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
645	understand the format.
646
647	Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
648
64920011004:
650	Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
651	is suggested before running a snapshot build
652
65320010915:
654	The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
655	a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend
656	files that still reference this file.
657
658	Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
659	directories.
660
66120010803:
662	grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it
663	requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
664	building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow
665	the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
666
66720010803: 
668	(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
669	`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the
670	kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain, 
671	(i.e., build.sh -t) or 	(temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU" 
672	from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
673	See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
674	[updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
675
67620010731:
677	Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before
678	this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
679	bootloaders.
680
68120010726:
682	Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to
683	build the included texinfo files, do:
684
685	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
686	make MKINFO=no dependall install
687
68820010718:
689	Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this
690	was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
691	make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
692	timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
693
694	The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
695	if you have a stale dependency.
696
697	Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
698	before starting your build.
699
70020010628:
701	A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
702	in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
703	bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
704
70520010226:
706	Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
707	will break as mtree aborts early.
708
709	To work around add by hand:
710
711	named:*:14:
712
713	to /etc/group and add:
714
715	named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
716
717	to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
718
719	Now a make build should progress.
720
72120010219:
722	get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
723	to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
724
725	Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
726			usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
727			  CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
728			usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
729			  building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
730
73120010204:
732	prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
733	particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
734	needs to be installed before make build.
735
73620010114:
737	introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
738	bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
739	anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
740	with make build.
741
74220010101:
743	bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
744	afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
745
74620001230:
747	New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
748	If you get make errors, 
749		(cd share/mk; make install)
750	Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
751
75220001019:
753	The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
754	major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
755	directory.
756
75720000929:
758	The following make directives are obsoleted.
759	MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA 
760	By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be
761	built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
762	additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
763
764
765Hints for a more successful build:
766^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
767    Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
768	This will automatically build the tools in the
769	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
770	   new build products from interfering with the running
771	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
772	   other advice in this file.
773    Build a new kernel first:
774	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
775	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
776	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
777    Use object directories:
778	This helps to keep stale object
779	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
780	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
781	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
782	   same source tree for multiple machines.
783	   To use object directories with build.sh:
784	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
785	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
786	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
787	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
788	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
789	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
790	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
791	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
792    Build to a DESTDIR:
793	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
794	   from interfering with the new build.
795	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
796	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
797	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
798	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
799	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
800		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
801		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
802		(See critical utils, below.)
803    Build often:
804	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
805	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
806	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
807	this problem.
808 
809What to do if things don't work:
810^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
811When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
812should be done.
813    1)	make includes
814	This should be done automatically by make build.
815    2)  cd share/mk && make install
816	Again, automatically done by make build.
817
818Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
819^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
820To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
821something like the following:
822    1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
823    2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
824	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
825    3)  cd ...path/to/util...
826	make cleandir
827	rm ...all obj directories...
828	make cleandir			# yes, again
829	make obj
830	make depend && make
831
832Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
833^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
834If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
835ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
836(a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
837for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
838

872Other problems and possible solutions:
873^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
874Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
875Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:

877	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
878	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
879
880Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
881	cd share/mk && make install
882
883Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
884Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
885
886Symptom:

896Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
897	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
898	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
899	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
