UPDATING revision 1.234.2.2
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.234.2.2 2012/09/07 22:19:27 bouyer 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 20120813:
     20 	The update of openssl requires cleaning both the openssl build
     21 	directory and DESTDIR; update builds done without taking these
     22 	steps may fail, or if not, have been observed to cause
     23 	third-party software to link incorrectly.
     24 
     25 20120216:
     26 	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
     27 	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
     28 	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreable
     29 	/var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
     30 	the next run of weekly will fix it.
     31 
     32 20111227:
     33 	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
     34 	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
     35 	bump has been reverted.
     36 
     37 20111125:
     38 	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
     39 	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
     40 	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
     41 	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
     42 
     43 20111119:
     44 	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
     45 	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
     46 	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
     47 	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
     48 	replace your rndctl executable too.
     49 	
     50 20111001:
     51 	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
     52 	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
     53 	one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
     54 	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
     55 
     56 20110817:
     57 	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
     58 	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
     59 
     60 20110806:
     61 	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
     62 	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
     63 
     64 20110805:
     65 	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
     66 	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
     67 	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
     68 	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
     69 
     70 20110803:
     71 	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
     72 	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
     73 	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
     74 	is now a directory.
     75 
     76 20110410:
     77 	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
     78 	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
     79 	tools/gcc by hand.
     80 
     81 20110328:
     82 	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
     83 	ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
     84 	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
     85 	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
     86 	directory.
     87 
     88 20110121:
     89 	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
     90 	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
     91 	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
     92 	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
     93 
     94 20101217:
     95 	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
     96 	by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
     97 	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
     98 
     99 20101125:
    100 	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
    101 	variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
    102 	assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
    103 	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
    104 	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
    105 	so building gcc will end up printing:
    106 	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
    107 	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
    108 	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
    109 
    110 20101119:
    111 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
    112 	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
    113 	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
    114 	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
    115 
    116 20100604:
    117 	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
    118 	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
    119 	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
    120 	trees by hand.
    121 
    122 20100522:
    123 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
    124 	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
    125 	build problems with xsrc.
    126 
    127 20100522:
    128 	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
    129 	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
    130 
    131 20100520:
    132 	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
    133 	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
    134 
    135 20100222:
    136 	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
    137 	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
    138 	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
    139 	your object directories.
    140 
    141 20100204:
    142 	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
    143 	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
    144 	from the system when upgrading.
    145 	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
    146 	and destination directories.
    147 
    148 20091101:
    149         After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
    150         target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
    151         'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
    152         src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
    153 
    154 20091001:
    155 	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
    156 	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
    157 
    158 20091001:
    159 	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
    160 	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
    161 	it is in, and retry your build.
    162 
    163 20090718:
    164 	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
    165 	point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
    166 	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
    167 	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
    168 
    169 20090709:
    170 	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
    171 	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
    172 
    173 20090616:
    174 	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
    175 	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
    176 	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
    177 	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
    178 	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
    179 
    180 20090501:
    181 	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
    182 	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
    183 	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
    184 	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
    185 	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
    186 	objects and start again.
    187 
    188 20090325:
    189 	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
    190 	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
    191 
    192 20090126:
    193 	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
    194 	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
    195 	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
    196 
    197 20090202:
    198 	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
    199 	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
    200 	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
    201 
    202 20090110:
    203 	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
    204 	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
    205 	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
    206 	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
    207 	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
    208 	   before installing.
    209 	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
    210 	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
    211 	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
    212 	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
    213 	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
    214 	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
    215 	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
    216 	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
    217 	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
    218 	   that depend on it.
    219 	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
    220 	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
    221 	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
    222 	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
    223 	   for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
    224 	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
    225 	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
    226 	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
    227 	   files manually.
    228 	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
    229 	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
    230 	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
    231 	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
    232 	   the file.
    233 	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
    234 	   disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
    235 	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
    236 	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
    237 
    238 20081219:
    239 	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
    240 	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
    241 	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
    242 	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
    243 	kernels.
    244 
    245 20081205:
    246 	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
    247 	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
    248 	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
    249 
    250 20081122:
    251 	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
    252 	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
    253 	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
    254 	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
    255 
    256 	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
    257 
    258 	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
    259 	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
    260 
    261 	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
    262 	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
    263 	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
    264 
    265 20080827:
    266 	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
    267 	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
    268 	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
    269 	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
    270 	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
    271 	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
    272 
    273 20080813:
    274 	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
    275 	about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
    276 
    277 20080802:
    278 	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
    279 	been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
    280 	for -current.
    281 
    282 	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
    283 	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
    284 	be recompiled.
    285 
    286 	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
    287 
    288 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    289 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    290 
    291 20080731:
    292 	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
    293 	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
    294 	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
    295 	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
    296 	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
    297 	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
    298 	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
    299 
    300 20080721:
    301 	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
    302 	isn't defined.
    303 
    304 20080531:
    305 	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed 
    306 	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
    307 	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
    308 	won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
    309 
    310 	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
    311 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
    312 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
    313 
    314 	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
    315 
    316 20080503:
    317 	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
    318 
    319 20080521:
    320 	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
    321 	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
    322 	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
    323 	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
    324 	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
    325 	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
    326 
    327 20080303:
    328 	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
    329 
    330 20080126:
    331 	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
    332 	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
    333 	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
    334 	avoid using the old assembly stub.
    335 
    336 20071209:
    337 	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
    338 	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
    339 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    340 
    341 20071115:
    342 	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
    343 	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
    344 	anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
    345 	rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
    346 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    347 
    348 20071028:
    349 	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
    350 	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
    351 	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
    352 	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
    353 	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
    354 	for more details.
    355 
    356 20070913:
    357 	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
    358 	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
    359 	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
    360 	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
    361 	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
    362 	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
    363 	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
    364 	and userland are from after 20070913.
    365 
    366 20070703:
    367 	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
    368 	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
    369 	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
    370 	re-installation of tools.
    371 
    372 20070422:
    373 	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
    374 	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
    375 	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
    376 	root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
    377 	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
    378 	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
    379 	that has such links.
    380 	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
    381 	the emulated root.
    382 
    383 20070412:
    384 	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
    385 	instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
    386 	example.
    387 
    388 20070319:
    389         src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
    390         on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
    391         updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
    392 	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
    393 	rebuild of object files that might have been built
    394 	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
    395 	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
    396 
    397 20070210: 
    398         src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
    399           find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
    400               | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
    401         will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
    402 
    403 20070209:
    404         The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
    405         was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
    406         kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
    407         library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
    408         an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
    409         (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
    410         the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
    411         continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
    412 	is the only threaded application in the base system.

    415 	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
    416 	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
    417 	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
    418 		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
    419 		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
    420 		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
    421 		as the installation images in distrib/
    422 	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
    423 	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
    424 
    425 20061108:
    426 	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
    427 	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
    428 	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
    429 	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
    430 
    431 20061009:
    432 	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
    433 	available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
    434 
    435 20060814:
    436 	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
    437 	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
    438 	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
    439 	few years should cope.
    440 
    441 20060703:
    442 	MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
    443 	if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
    444 	to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
    445 
    446 20060627:
    447 	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
    448 	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
    449 	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
    450 	errors will result.
    451 
    452 Hints for a more successful build:
    453 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    454     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    455 	This will automatically build the tools in the
    456 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    457 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    458 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    459 	   other advice in this file.
    460     Build a new kernel first:
    461 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    462 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    463 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    464     Use object directories:
    465 	This helps to keep stale object
    466 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    467 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    468 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    469 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    470 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    471 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    472 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    473 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    474 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    475 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    476 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    477 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    478 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    479     Build to a DESTDIR:
    480 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    481 	   from interfering with the new build.
    482 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    483 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    484 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    485 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    486 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    487 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    488 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    489 		(See critical utils, below.)
    490     Build often:
    491 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    492 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    493 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    494 	this problem.
    495  
    496 What to do if things don't work:
    497 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    498 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
    499 should be done.
    500     1)	make includes
    501 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    502     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    503 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    504 
    505 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    506 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    507 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    508 something like the following:
    509     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    510     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    511 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    512     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    513 	make cleandir
    514 	rm ...all obj directories...
    515 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    516 	make obj
    517 	make depend && make
    518 
    519 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    520 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    521 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    522 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    523 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    524 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    525 
    526 ---cut here---
    527 #!/bin/sh
    528 . /etc/mk.conf
    529 
    530 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    531     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    532 fi
    533 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    534     echo Unable to find sources
    535     exit 1
    536 fi
    537 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    538 
    539 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    540     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    541 fi
    542 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    543     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    544 fi
    545 
    546 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
    547 
    548 ---cut here---

    550 Critical utilities:
    551 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    552 	usr.bin/compile_et
    553 	usr.bin/make
    554 	usr.bin/yacc
    555 	usr.bin/lex
    556 	usr.bin/xlint
    557 	usr.bin/config
    558 
    559 Other problems and possible solutions:
    560 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    561 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
    562 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
    563 	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
    564 	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
    565 	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
    566 
    567 Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
    568 	cd share/mk && make install
    569 
    570 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
    571 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
    572 
    573 Symptom:
    574 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
    575 
    576 Symptom:
    577 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
    578 
    579 Symptom:
    580 Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
    581 
    582 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
    583 Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
    584 	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
    585 	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
    586 	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
    587 
    588 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
    589 	pointer type
    590 Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
    591 
    592 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
    593 Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
    594 
    595 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
    596 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    597 
    598 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.

    606 
    607 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
    608 	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
    609 Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
