UPDATING revision 1.253 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.253 2014/02/01 12:51:02 joerg Exp $
2
3 This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4 changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5 what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7 For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8 using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10 Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11 build.sh existed. Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12 working around specific problems with build.sh.

16 Recent changes:
17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
18
19 20140131:
20 The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
21 disadvised to a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
22 of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
23
24 20131227:
25 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
26 attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
27 mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
28 statements to avoid being exposed.
29 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
30 to make clean in libc
31
32 20131129:
33 The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
34 cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
35
36 20131128:
37 The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
38 tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
39
40 20130605:
41 The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
42 to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
43
44 20130605:
45 Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
46 header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
47 please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
48
49 20130531:
50 The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
51 in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
52 nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
53 is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
54
55 20130530:
56 Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
57 Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
58
59 20130301:
60 The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
61 prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
62
63 20120726:
64 The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
65 directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
66 DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
67 some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
68 cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
69
70 20120507:
71 The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
72 need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
73 for the next weekly run to fix it.
74
75 20120319:
76 sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
77 size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
78 your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
79 you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
80 mk.conf.
81
82 20120216:
83 Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
84 unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
85 and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
86 /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
87 the next run of weekly will fix it.
88
89 20111227:
90 If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
91 /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
92 bump has been reverted.
93
94 20111125:
95 The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
96 means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
97 configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
98 removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
99
100 20111119:
101 A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
102 utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
103 bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
104 non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
105 replace your rndctl executable too.
106
107 20111001:
108 the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
109 changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
110 one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
111 quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
112
113 20110817:
114 sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
115 DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
116
117 20110806:
118 i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
119 objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
120
121 20110805:
122 The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
123 the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
124 DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
125 sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
126
127 20110803:
128 The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
129 update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
130 for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
131 is now a directory.
132
133 20110410:
134 The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
135 update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
136 tools/gcc by hand.
137
138 20110328:
139 Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
140 ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
141 the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
142 if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
143 directory.
144
145 20110121:
146 Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
147 the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
148 correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
149 and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
150
151 20101217:
152 The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
153 by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
154 group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
155
156 20101125:
157 The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
158 variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
159 assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
160 old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
161 break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
162 so building gcc will end up printing:
163 checking dependency style of gcc... none
164 configure: error: no usable dependency style found
165 Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
166
167 20101119:
168 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
169 or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
170 have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
171 versions between xorg-server and drivers.
172
173 20100604:
174 The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
175 unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
176 you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
177 trees by hand.
178
179 20100522:
180 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
181 problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
182 build problems with xsrc.
183
184 20100522:
185 private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
186 include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
187
188 20100520:
189 The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
190 remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
191
192 20100222:
193 The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
194 .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
195 libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
196 your object directories.
197
198 20100204:
199 The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
200 but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
201 from the system when upgrading.
202 As such, you will need to remove them from your object
203 and destination directories.
204
205 20091101:
206 After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
207 target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
208 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
209 src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
210
211 20091001:
212 On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
213 before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
214
215 20091001:
216 An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
217 symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
218 it is in, and retry your build.
219
220 20090718:
221 libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
222 point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
223 may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
224 (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
225
226 20090709:
227 Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
228 without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
229
230 20090616:
231 Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
232 src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
233 work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
234 subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
235 be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
236
237 20090501:
238 Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
239 can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
240 who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
241 note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
242 failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
243 objects and start again.
244
245 20090325:
246 The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
247 cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
248
249 20090126:
250 The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
251 need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
252 to avoid using the old assembly stub.
253
254 20090202:
255 pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
256 detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
257 ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
258
259 20090110:
260 time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
261 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
262 This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
263 conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
264 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
265 before installing.
266 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
267 your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
268 are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
269 and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
270 libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
271 the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
272 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
273 rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
274 Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
275 that depend on it.
276 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
277 will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
278 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
279 lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
280 for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
281 upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
282 boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
283 newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
284 files manually.
285 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
286 accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
287 removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
288 /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
289 the file.
290 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
291 disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
292 using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
293 rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
294
295 20081219:
296 config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
297 swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
298 (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
299 config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
300 kernels.
301
302 20081205:
303 If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
304 /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
305 set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
306
307 20081122:
308 On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
309 file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
310 Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
311 following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
312
313 - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
314
315 - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
316 for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
317
318 If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
319 the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
320 file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
321
322 20080827:
323 If you built and installed a libc from sources between
324 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
325 which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
326 Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
327 needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
328 $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
329
330 20080813:
331 MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
332 about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
333
334 20080802:
335 A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
336 been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
337 for -current.
338
339 Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
340 libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
341 be recompiled.
342
343 One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
344
345 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
346 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
347
348 20080731:
349 WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
350 time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
351 and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
352 don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
353 especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
354 also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
355 can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
356
357 20080721:
358 Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
359 isn't defined.
360
361 20080531:
362 The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
363 from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
364 utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
365 won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
366
367 $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
368 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
369 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
370
371 leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
372
373 20080503:
374 The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
375
376 20080521:
377 For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
378 succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
379 ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
380 problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
381 If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
382 remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
383
384 20080303:
385 Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
386
387 20080126:
388 The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
389 stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
390 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
391 avoid using the old assembly stub.
392
393 20071209:
394 The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
395 get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
396 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
397
398 20071115:
399 The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
400 argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
401 anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
402 rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
403 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
404
405 20071028:
406 The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
407 You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
408 to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
409 now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
410 entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
411 for more details.
412
413 20070913:
414 A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
415 enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
416 problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
417 implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
418 could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
419 normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
420 sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
421 and userland are from after 20070913.
422
423 20070703:
424 nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
425 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
426 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
427 re-installation of tools.
428
429 20070422:
430 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
431 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
432 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
433 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
434 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
435 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
436 that has such links.
437 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
438 the emulated root.
439
440 20070412:
441 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
442 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
443 example.
444
445 20070319:
446 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
447 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
448 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
449 cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
450 rebuild of object files that might have been built
451 incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
452 src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
453
454 20070210:
455 src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
456 find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
457 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
458 will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
459
460 20070209:
461 The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
462 was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
463 kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
464 library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
465 an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
466 (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
467 the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
468 continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
469 is the only threaded application in the base system.
470
471 20061214:
472 Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
473 from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
474 will need to do a "make cleandir" in
475 tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
476 bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
477 usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
478 as the installation images in distrib/
479 in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
480 file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
481
482 20061108:
483 The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
484 changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
485 does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
486 make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.

488 20061009:
489 The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
490 available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
491
492 20060814:
493 The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
494 withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
495 kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
496 few years should cope.
497
498 20060703:
499 MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
500 if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
501 to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
502
503 20060627:
504 socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
505 For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
506 your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
507 errors will result.
508
509 Hints for a more successful build:
510 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
511 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
512 This will automatically build the tools in the
513 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
514 new build products from interfering with the running
515 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
516 other advice in this file.
517 Build a new kernel first:
518 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
519 expected by the new userland will be present. This
520 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
521 Use object directories:
522 This helps to keep stale object
523 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
524 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
525 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
526 same source tree for multiple machines.
527 To use object directories with build.sh:
528 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
529 To use object directories without using build.sh:
530 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
531 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
532 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
533 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
534 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
535 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
536 Build to a DESTDIR:
537 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
538 from interfering with the new build.
539 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
540 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
541 environment variable before running make build. It should be
542 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
543 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
544 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
545 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
546 (See critical utils, below.)
547 Build often:
548 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
549 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
550 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
551 this problem.
552
553 What to do if things don't work:
554 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
555 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
556 should be done.
557 1) make includes
558 This should be done automatically by make build.
559 2) cd share/mk && make install
560 Again, automatically done by make build.
561
562 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
563 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
564 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
565 something like the following:
566 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
567 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
568 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
569 3) cd ...path/to/util...
570 make cleandir
571 rm ...all obj directories...
572 make cleandir # yes, again
573 make obj
574 make depend && make
575
576 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
577 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
578 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
579 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
580 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
581 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

607 Critical utilities:
608 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
609 usr.bin/compile_et
610 usr.bin/make
611 usr.bin/yacc
612 usr.bin/lex
613 usr.bin/xlint
614 usr.bin/config
615
616 Other problems and possible solutions:
617 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
618 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
619 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
620 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
621 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
622 cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
623
624 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
625 cd share/mk && make install
626
627 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
628 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
629
630 Symptom:
631 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
632
633 Symptom:
634 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
635
636 Symptom:
637 Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
638
639 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
640 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
641 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
642 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
643 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
644
645 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
646 pointer type
647 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
648
649 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
650 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
651
652 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
653 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
654
655 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
656 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
657
658 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
659 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
660
661 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
662 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
663
664 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
665 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
666 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
