UPDATING revision 1.248
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.248 2013/11/29 02:05:59 mrg 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 20131128:
     20 	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
     21 	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
     22 
     23 20130605:
     24 	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
     25 	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
     26 
     27 20130605:
     28 	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
     29 	header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
     30 	please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
     31 
     32 20130531:
     33 	The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
     34 	in the obj tree.  Make sure to ensure any like this:
     35 		nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
     36 	is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
     37 
     38 20130530:
     39 	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
     40 	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
     41 
     42 20130301:
     43 	The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
     44 	prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
     45 
     46 20120726:
     47 	The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
     48 	directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
     49 	DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
     50 	some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
     51 	cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
     52 
     53 20120507:
     54 	The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
     55 	need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
     56 	for the next weekly run to fix it.
     57 
     58 20120319:
     59 	sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
     60 	size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
     61 	your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
     62 	you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
     63 	mk.conf.
     64 
     65 20120216:
     66 	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
     67 	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
     68 	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
     69 	/var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
     70 	the next run of weekly will fix it.
     71 
     72 20111227:
     73 	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
     74 	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
     75 	bump has been reverted.
     76 
     77 20111125:
     78 	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
     79 	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
     80 	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
     81 	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
     82 
     83 20111119:
     84 	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
     85 	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
     86 	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
     87 	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
     88 	replace your rndctl executable too.
     89 
     90 20111001:
     91 	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
     92 	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
     93 	one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
     94 	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
     95 
     96 20110817:
     97 	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
     98 	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
     99 
    100 20110806:
    101 	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
    102 	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
    103 
    104 20110805:
    105 	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
    106 	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
    107 	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
    108 	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
    109 
    110 20110803:
    111 	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed.  To do an
    112 	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
    113 	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
    114 	is now a directory.
    115 
    116 20110410:
    117 	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed.  To do an
    118 	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
    119 	tools/gcc by hand.
    120 
    121 20110328:
    122 	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
    123 	ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
    124 	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
    125 	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
    126 	directory.
    127 
    128 20110121:
    129 	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
    130 	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
    131 	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
    132 	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
    133 
    134 20101217:
    135 	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
    136 	by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
    137 	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
    138 
    139 20101125:
    140 	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
    141 	variables with names that contain '='.  Revision 1.18 of env.c
    142 	assumed that this was allowed.  Installing a new libc with an
    143 	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
    144 	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
    145 	so building gcc will end up printing:
    146 	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
    147 	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
    148 	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
    149 
    150 20101119:
    151 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
    152 	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
    153 	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
    154 	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
    155 
    156 20100604:
    157 	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
    158 	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
    159 	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
    160 	trees by hand.
    161 
    162 20100522:
    163 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
    164 	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
    165 	build problems with xsrc.
    166 
    167 20100522:
    168 	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
    169 	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
    170 
    171 20100520:
    172 	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
    173 	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
    174 
    175 20100222:
    176 	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
    177 	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
    178 	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
    179 	your object directories.
    180 
    181 20100204:
    182 	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
    183 	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
    184 	from the system when upgrading.
    185 	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
    186 	and destination directories.
    187 
    188 20091101:
    189         After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
    190         target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
    191         'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
    192         src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
    193 
    194 20091001:
    195 	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
    196 	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
    197 
    198 20091001:
    199 	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
    200 	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
    201 	it is in, and retry your build.
    202 
    203 20090718:
    204 	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
    205 	point for index().  Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
    206 	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
    207 	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
    208 
    209 20090709:
    210 	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
    211 	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
    212 
    213 20090616:
    214 	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
    215 	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
    216 	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
    217 	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
    218 	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
    219 
    220 20090501:
    221 	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
    222 	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
    223 	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly.  If you
    224 	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
    225 	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
    226 	objects and start again.
    227 
    228 20090325:
    229 	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
    230 	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
    231 
    232 20090126:
    233 	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type.  You
    234 	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
    235 	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
    236 
    237 20090202:
    238 	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
    239 	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
    240 	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
    241 
    242 20090110:
    243 	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities.  To upgrade:
    244 	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it.  Build and install.
    245 	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
    246 	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
    247 	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
    248 	   before installing.
    249 	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
    250 	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair.  Make sure headers
    251 	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
    252 	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
    253 	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them.  Once
    254 	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
    255 	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
    256 	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
    257 	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
    258 	   that depend on it.
    259 	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
    260 	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
    261 	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
    262 	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
    263 	   for utmp.  You are better off removing the old files after
    264 	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
    265 	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
    266 	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
    267 	   files manually.
    268 	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
    269 	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
    270 	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
    271 	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
    272 	   the file.
    273 	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
    274 	   disk will break or need attention.  Most notably: if you are
    275 	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
    276 	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
    277 
    278 20081219:
    279 	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
    280 	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
    281 	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
    282 	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
    283 	kernels.
    284 
    285 20081205:
    286 	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
    287 	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
    288 	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
    289 
    290 20081122:
    291 	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
    292 	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
    293 	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
    294 	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
    295 
    296 	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
    297 
    298 	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
    299 	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
    300 
    301 	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
    302 	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
    303 	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
    304 
    305 20080827:
    306 	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
    307 	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
    308 	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
    309 	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
    310 	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
    311 	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
    312 
    313 20080813:
    314 	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
    315 	about .go files.  You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
    316 
    317 20080802:
    318 	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
    319 	been fixed.  Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
    320 	for -current.
    321 
    322 	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
    323 	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
    324 	be recompiled.
    325 
    326 	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
    327 
    328 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    329 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    330 
    331 20080731:
    332 	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
    333 	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
    334 	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
    335 	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
    336 	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
    337 	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
    338 	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
    339 
    340 20080721:
    341 	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
    342 	isn't defined.
    343 
    344 20080531:
    345 	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
    346 	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129.  The drvctl(8)
    347 	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
    348 	won't work correctly.  The following sequence of commands:
    349 
    350 	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
    351 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
    352 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
    353 
    354 	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
    355 
    356 20080503:
    357 	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
    358 
    359 20080521:
    360 	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
    361 	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
    362 	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
    363 	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
    364 	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
    365 	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
    366 
    367 20080303:
    368 	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
    369 
    370 20080126:
    371 	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
    372 	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub.  You need to
    373 	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
    374 	avoid using the old assembly stub.
    375 
    376 20071209:
    377 	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments.  If you
    378 	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
    379 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    380 
    381 20071115:
    382 	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
    383 	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
    384 	anymore.  The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
    385 	rather than the EC address port.  Please update your kernel
    386 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    387 
    388 20071028:
    389 	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
    390 	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
    391 	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
    392 	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
    393 	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
    394 	for more details.
    395 
    396 20070913:
    397 	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
    398 	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
    399 	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
    400 	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
    401 	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
    402 	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
    403 	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
    404 	and userland are from after 20070913.
    405 
    406 20070703:
    407 	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
    408 	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
    409 	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
    410 	re-installation of tools.
    411 
    412 20070422:
    413 	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
    414 	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
    415 	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
    416 	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
    417 	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
    418 	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
    419 	that has such links.
    420 	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
    421 	the emulated root.
    422 
    423 20070412:
    424 	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
    425 	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
    426 	example.
    427 
    428 20070319:
    429         src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
    430         on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
    431         updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
    432 	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
    433 	rebuild of object files that might have been built
    434 	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
    435 	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
    436 
    437 20070210:
    438         src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
    439           find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
    440               | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
    441         will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
    442 
    443 20070209:
    444         The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
    445         was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
    446         kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
    447         library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
    448         an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
    449         (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
    450         the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
    451         continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
    452 	is the only threaded application in the base system.
    453 
    454 20061214:
    455 	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
    456 	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
    457 	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
    458 		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
    459 		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
    460 		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
    461 		as the installation images in distrib/
    462 	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
    463 	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
    464 
    465 20061108:
    466 	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
    467 	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
    468 	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared.  You'll need to
    469 	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
    470 
    471 20061009:
    472 	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
    473 	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
    474 
    475 20060814:
    476 	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
    477 	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
    478 	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
    479 	few years should cope.
    480 
    481 20060703:
    482 	MPACPI is no more.  We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
    483 	if we have an ACPI kernel.  The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
    484 	to ACPI_SCANPCI.  Thanks to work from fvdl.
    485 
    486 20060627:
    487 	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
    488 	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
    489 	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
    490 	errors will result.
    491 
    492 Hints for a more successful build:
    493 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    494     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    495 	This will automatically build the tools in the
    496 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    497 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    498 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    499 	   other advice in this file.
    500     Build a new kernel first:
    501 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    502 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    503 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    504     Use object directories:
    505 	This helps to keep stale object
    506 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    507 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    508 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    509 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    510 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    511 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    512 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    513 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    514 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    515 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    516 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    517 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    518 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    519     Build to a DESTDIR:
    520 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    521 	   from interfering with the new build.
    522 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    523 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    524 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    525 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    526 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    527 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    528 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    529 		(See critical utils, below.)
    530     Build often:
    531 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    532 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    533 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    534 	this problem.
    535 
    536 What to do if things don't work:
    537 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    538 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
    539 should be done.
    540     1)	make includes
    541 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    542     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    543 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    544 
    545 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    546 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    547 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    548 something like the following:
    549     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    550     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    551 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    552     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    553 	make cleandir
    554 	rm ...all obj directories...
    555 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    556 	make obj
    557 	make depend && make
    558 
    559 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    560 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    561 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    562 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    563 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    564 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    565 
    566 ---cut here---
    567 #!/bin/sh
    568 . /etc/mk.conf
    569 
    570 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    571     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    572 fi
    573 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    574     echo Unable to find sources
    575     exit 1
    576 fi
    577 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    578 
    579 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    580     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    581 fi
    582 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    583     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    584 fi
    585 
    586 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
    587 
    588 ---cut here---

    590 Critical utilities:
    591 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    592 	usr.bin/compile_et
    593 	usr.bin/make
    594 	usr.bin/yacc
    595 	usr.bin/lex
    596 	usr.bin/xlint
    597 	usr.bin/config
    598 
    599 Other problems and possible solutions:
    600 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    601 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
    602 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
    603 	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
    604 	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
    605 	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
    606 
    607 Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
    608 	cd share/mk && make install
    609 
    610 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
    611 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
    612 
    613 Symptom:
    614 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
    615 
    616 Symptom:
    617 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
    618 
    619 Symptom:
    620 Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
    621 
    622 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
    623 Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
    624 	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
    625 	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
    626 	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
    627 
    628 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
    629 	pointer type
    630 Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
    631 
    632 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
    633 Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
    634 
    635 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
    636 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    637 
    638 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
    639 Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
    640 
    641 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
    642 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    643 
    644 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
    645 Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
    646 
    647 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
    648 	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
    649 Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
