UPDATING revision 1.250
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.250 2013/12/28 03:39:07 christos 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 20131227:
     20 	1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
     21 	   attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
     22 	   mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
     23 	   statements to avoid being exposed.
     24 	2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
     25 	   to make clean in libc
     26 
     27 20131129:
     28 	The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
     29 	cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
     30 
     31 20131128:
     32 	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
     33 	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
     34 
     35 20130605:
     36 	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
     37 	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
     38 
     39 20130605:
     40 	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
     41 	header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
     42 	please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
     43 
     44 20130531:
     45 	The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
     46 	in the obj tree.  Make sure to ensure any like this:
     47 		nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
     48 	is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
     49 
     50 20130530:
     51 	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
     52 	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
     53 
     54 20130301:
     55 	The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
     56 	prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
     57 
     58 20120726:
     59 	The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
     60 	directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
     61 	DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
     62 	some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
     63 	cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
     64 
     65 20120507:
     66 	The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
     67 	need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
     68 	for the next weekly run to fix it.
     69 
     70 20120319:
     71 	sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
     72 	size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
     73 	your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
     74 	you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
     75 	mk.conf.
     76 
     77 20120216:
     78 	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
     79 	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
     80 	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
     81 	/var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
     82 	the next run of weekly will fix it.
     83 
     84 20111227:
     85 	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
     86 	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
     87 	bump has been reverted.
     88 
     89 20111125:
     90 	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
     91 	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
     92 	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
     93 	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
     94 
     95 20111119:
     96 	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
     97 	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
     98 	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
     99 	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
    100 	replace your rndctl executable too.
    101 
    102 20111001:
    103 	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
    104 	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
    105 	one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
    106 	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
    107 
    108 20110817:
    109 	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
    110 	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
    111 
    112 20110806:
    113 	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
    114 	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
    115 
    116 20110805:
    117 	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
    118 	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
    119 	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
    120 	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
    121 
    122 20110803:
    123 	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed.  To do an
    124 	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
    125 	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
    126 	is now a directory.
    127 
    128 20110410:
    129 	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed.  To do an
    130 	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
    131 	tools/gcc by hand.
    132 
    133 20110328:
    134 	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
    135 	ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
    136 	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
    137 	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
    138 	directory.
    139 
    140 20110121:
    141 	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
    142 	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
    143 	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
    144 	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
    145 
    146 20101217:
    147 	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
    148 	by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
    149 	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
    150 
    151 20101125:
    152 	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
    153 	variables with names that contain '='.  Revision 1.18 of env.c
    154 	assumed that this was allowed.  Installing a new libc with an
    155 	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
    156 	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
    157 	so building gcc will end up printing:
    158 	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
    159 	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
    160 	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
    161 
    162 20101119:
    163 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
    164 	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
    165 	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
    166 	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
    167 
    168 20100604:
    169 	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
    170 	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
    171 	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
    172 	trees by hand.
    173 
    174 20100522:
    175 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
    176 	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
    177 	build problems with xsrc.
    178 
    179 20100522:
    180 	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
    181 	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
    182 
    183 20100520:
    184 	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
    185 	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
    186 
    187 20100222:
    188 	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
    189 	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
    190 	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
    191 	your object directories.
    192 
    193 20100204:
    194 	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
    195 	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
    196 	from the system when upgrading.
    197 	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
    198 	and destination directories.
    199 
    200 20091101:
    201         After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
    202         target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
    203         'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
    204         src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
    205 
    206 20091001:
    207 	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
    208 	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
    209 
    210 20091001:
    211 	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
    212 	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
    213 	it is in, and retry your build.
    214 
    215 20090718:
    216 	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
    217 	point for index().  Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
    218 	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
    219 	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
    220 
    221 20090709:
    222 	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
    223 	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
    224 
    225 20090616:
    226 	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
    227 	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
    228 	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
    229 	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
    230 	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
    231 
    232 20090501:
    233 	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
    234 	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
    235 	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly.  If you
    236 	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
    237 	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
    238 	objects and start again.
    239 
    240 20090325:
    241 	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
    242 	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
    243 
    244 20090126:
    245 	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type.  You
    246 	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
    247 	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
    248 
    249 20090202:
    250 	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
    251 	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
    252 	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
    253 
    254 20090110:
    255 	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities.  To upgrade:
    256 	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it.  Build and install.
    257 	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
    258 	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
    259 	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
    260 	   before installing.
    261 	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
    262 	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair.  Make sure headers
    263 	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
    264 	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
    265 	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them.  Once
    266 	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
    267 	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
    268 	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
    269 	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
    270 	   that depend on it.
    271 	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
    272 	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
    273 	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
    274 	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
    275 	   for utmp.  You are better off removing the old files after
    276 	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
    277 	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
    278 	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
    279 	   files manually.
    280 	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
    281 	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
    282 	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
    283 	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
    284 	   the file.
    285 	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
    286 	   disk will break or need attention.  Most notably: if you are
    287 	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
    288 	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
    289 
    290 20081219:
    291 	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
    292 	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
    293 	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
    294 	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
    295 	kernels.
    296 
    297 20081205:
    298 	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
    299 	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
    300 	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
    301 
    302 20081122:
    303 	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
    304 	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
    305 	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
    306 	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
    307 
    308 	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
    309 
    310 	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
    311 	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
    312 
    313 	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
    314 	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
    315 	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
    316 
    317 20080827:
    318 	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
    319 	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
    320 	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
    321 	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
    322 	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
    323 	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
    324 
    325 20080813:
    326 	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
    327 	about .go files.  You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
    328 
    329 20080802:
    330 	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
    331 	been fixed.  Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
    332 	for -current.
    333 
    334 	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
    335 	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
    336 	be recompiled.
    337 
    338 	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
    339 
    340 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    341 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    342 
    343 20080731:
    344 	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
    345 	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
    346 	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
    347 	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
    348 	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
    349 	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
    350 	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
    351 
    352 20080721:
    353 	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
    354 	isn't defined.
    355 
    356 20080531:
    357 	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
    358 	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129.  The drvctl(8)
    359 	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
    360 	won't work correctly.  The following sequence of commands:
    361 
    362 	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
    363 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
    364 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
    365 
    366 	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
    367 
    368 20080503:
    369 	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
    370 
    371 20080521:
    372 	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
    373 	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
    374 	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
    375 	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
    376 	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
    377 	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
    378 
    379 20080303:
    380 	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
    381 
    382 20080126:
    383 	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
    384 	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub.  You need to
    385 	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
    386 	avoid using the old assembly stub.
    387 
    388 20071209:
    389 	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments.  If you
    390 	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
    391 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    392 
    393 20071115:
    394 	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
    395 	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
    396 	anymore.  The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
    397 	rather than the EC address port.  Please update your kernel
    398 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    399 
    400 20071028:
    401 	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
    402 	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
    403 	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
    404 	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
    405 	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
    406 	for more details.
    407 
    408 20070913:
    409 	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
    410 	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
    411 	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
    412 	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
    413 	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
    414 	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
    415 	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
    416 	and userland are from after 20070913.
    417 
    418 20070703:
    419 	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
    420 	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
    421 	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
    422 	re-installation of tools.
    423 
    424 20070422:
    425 	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
    426 	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
    427 	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
    428 	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
    429 	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
    430 	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
    431 	that has such links.
    432 	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
    433 	the emulated root.
    434 
    435 20070412:
    436 	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
    437 	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
    438 	example.
    439 
    440 20070319:
    441         src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
    442         on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
    443         updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
    444 	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
    445 	rebuild of object files that might have been built
    446 	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
    447 	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
    448 
    449 20070210:
    450         src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
    451           find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
    452               | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
    453         will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
    454 
    455 20070209:
    456         The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
    457         was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
    458         kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
    459         library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
    460         an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
    461         (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
    462         the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
    463         continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
    464 	is the only threaded application in the base system.
    465 
    466 20061214:
    467 	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
    468 	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
    469 	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
    470 		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
    471 		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
    472 		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
    473 		as the installation images in distrib/
    474 	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
    475 	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
    476 
    477 20061108:
    478 	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
    479 	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
    480 	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared.  You'll need to
    481 	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
    482 
    483 20061009:
    484 	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
    485 	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
    486 
    487 20060814:
    488 	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
    489 	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
    490 	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
    491 	few years should cope.
    492 
    493 20060703:
    494 	MPACPI is no more.  We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
    495 	if we have an ACPI kernel.  The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
    496 	to ACPI_SCANPCI.  Thanks to work from fvdl.
    497 
    498 20060627:
    499 	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
    500 	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
    501 	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
    502 	errors will result.
    503 
    504 Hints for a more successful build:
    505 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    506     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    507 	This will automatically build the tools in the
    508 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    509 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    510 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    511 	   other advice in this file.
    512     Build a new kernel first:
    513 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    514 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    515 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    516     Use object directories:
    517 	This helps to keep stale object
    518 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    519 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    520 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    521 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    522 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    523 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    524 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    525 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    526 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    527 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    528 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    529 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    530 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    531     Build to a DESTDIR:
    532 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    533 	   from interfering with the new build.
    534 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    535 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    536 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    537 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    538 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    539 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    540 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    541 		(See critical utils, below.)
    542     Build often:
    543 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    544 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    545 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    546 	this problem.
    547 
    548 What to do if things don't work:
    549 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    550 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
    551 should be done.
    552     1)	make includes
    553 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    554     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    555 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    556 
    557 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    558 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    559 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    560 something like the following:
    561     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    562     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    563 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    564     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    565 	make cleandir
    566 	rm ...all obj directories...
    567 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    568 	make obj
    569 	make depend && make
    570 
    571 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    572 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    573 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    574 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    575 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    576 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    577 
    578 ---cut here---
    579 #!/bin/sh
    580 . /etc/mk.conf
    581 
    582 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    583     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    584 fi
    585 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    586     echo Unable to find sources
    587     exit 1
    588 fi
    589 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    590 
    591 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    592     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    593 fi
    594 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    595     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    596 fi
    597 
    598 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir

    602 Critical utilities:
    603 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    604 	usr.bin/compile_et
    605 	usr.bin/make
    606 	usr.bin/yacc
    607 	usr.bin/lex
    608 	usr.bin/xlint
    609 	usr.bin/config
    610 
    611 Other problems and possible solutions:
    612 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    613 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
    614 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
    615 	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
    616 	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
    617 	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
    618 
    619 Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
    620 	cd share/mk && make install
    621 
    622 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
    623 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
    624 
    625 Symptom:
    626 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
    627 
    628 Symptom:
    629 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
    630 
    631 Symptom:
    632 Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
    633 
    634 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
    635 Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
    636 	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
    637 	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
    638 	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
    639 
    640 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
    641 	pointer type
    642 Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
    643 
    644 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
    645 Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
    646 
    647 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
    648 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    649 
    650 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
    651 Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
    652 
    653 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
    654 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    655 
    656 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
    657 Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
    658 
    659 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
    660 	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
    661 Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
