UPDATING revision 1.262 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.262 2015/04/14 14:18:59 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 Sections are marked with "^^^^^". After the section on "Recent changes"
15 are several sections containing more general information.

19 Recent changes:
20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
21
22 20150413:
23 New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
24 in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
25 also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
26
27 20150404:
28 Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
29 sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
30 do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
31 src/usr.bin/xlint.
32
33 20150310:
34 Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
35 the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
36 external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
37
38 20141026:
39 A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
40 in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
41 during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
42 directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
43 and let cvs restore it on next update.
44
45 20140721:
46 The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
47 and then deleted in the CVS repository. If you get errors like
48
49 cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
50 /cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
51
52 then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
53
54 20140530:
55 ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
56 rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
57
58 20140131:
59 The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
60 advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
61 of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
62
63 20131227:
64 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
65 attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
66 mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
67 statements to avoid being exposed.
68 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
69 to make clean in libc
70
71 20131129:
72 The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
73 cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
74
75 20131128:
76 The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
77 tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
78
79 20130605:
80 The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
81 to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
82
83 20130605:
84 Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
85 header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
86 please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
87
88 20130531:
89 The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
90 in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
91 nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
92 is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
93
94 20130530:
95 Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
96 Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
97
98 20130301:
99 The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
100 prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
101
102 20120726:
103 The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
104 directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
105 DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
106 some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
107 cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
108
109 20120507:
110 The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
111 need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
112 for the next weekly run to fix it.
113
114 20120319:
115 sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
116 size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
117 your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
118 you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
119 mk.conf.
120
121 20120216:
122 Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
123 unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
124 and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
125 /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
126 the next run of weekly will fix it.
127
128 20111227:
129 If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
130 /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
131 bump has been reverted.
132
133 20111125:
134 The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
135 means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
136 configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
137 removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
138
139 20111119:
140 A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
141 utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
142 bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
143 non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
144 replace your rndctl executable too.
145
146 20111001:
147 the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
148 changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
149 one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
150 quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
151
152 20110817:
153 sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
154 DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
155
156 20110806:
157 i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
158 objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
159
160 20110805:
161 The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
162 the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
163 DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
164 sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
165
166 20110803:
167 The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
168 update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
169 for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
170 is now a directory.
171
172 20110410:
173 The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
174 update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
175 tools/gcc by hand.
176
177 20110328:
178 Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
179 ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
180 the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
181 if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
182 directory.
183
184 20110121:
185 Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
186 the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
187 correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
188 and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
189
190 20101217:
191 The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
192 by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
193 group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
194
195 20101125:
196 The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
197 variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
198 assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
199 old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
200 break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
201 so building gcc will end up printing:
202 checking dependency style of gcc... none
203 configure: error: no usable dependency style found
204 Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
205
206 20101119:
207 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
208 or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
209 have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
210 versions between xorg-server and drivers.
211
212 20100604:
213 The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
214 unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
215 you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
216 trees by hand.
217
218 20100522:
219 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
220 problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
221 build problems with xsrc.
222
223 20100522:
224 private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
225 include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
226
227 20100520:
228 The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
229 remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
230
231 20100222:
232 The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
233 .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
234 libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
235 your object directories.
236
237 20100204:
238 The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
239 but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
240 from the system when upgrading.
241 As such, you will need to remove them from your object
242 and destination directories.
243
244 20091101:
245 After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
246 target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
247 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
248 src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
249
250 20091001:
251 On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
252 before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
253
254 20091001:
255 An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
256 symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
257 it is in, and retry your build.
258
259 20090718:
260 libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
261 point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
262 may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
263 (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
264
265 20090709:
266 Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
267 without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
268
269 20090616:
270 Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
271 src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
272 work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
273 subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
274 be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
275
276 20090501:
277 Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
278 can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
279 who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
280 note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
281 failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
282 objects and start again.
283
284 20090325:
285 The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
286 cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
287
288 20090126:
289 The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
290 need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
291 to avoid using the old assembly stub.
292
293 20090202:
294 pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
295 detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
296 ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
297
298 20090110:
299 time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
300 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
301 This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
302 conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
303 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
304 before installing.
305 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
306 your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
307 are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
308 and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
309 libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
310 the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
311 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
312 rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
313 Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
314 that depend on it.
315 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
316 will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
317 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
318 lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
319 for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
320 upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
321 boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
322 newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
323 files manually.
324 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
325 accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
326 removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
327 /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
328 the file.
329 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
330 disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
331 using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
332 rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
333
334 20081219:
335 config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
336 swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
337 (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
338 config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
339 kernels.
340
341 20081205:
342 If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
343 /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
344 set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
345
346 20081122:
347 On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
348 file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
349 Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
350 following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
351
352 - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
353
354 - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
355 for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
356
357 If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
358 the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
359 file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
360
361 20080827:
362 If you built and installed a libc from sources between
363 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
364 which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
365 Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
366 needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
367 $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
368
369 20080813:
370 MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
371 about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
372
373 20080802:
374 A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
375 been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
376 for -current.
377
378 Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
379 libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
380 be recompiled.
381
382 One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
383
384 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
385 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
386
387 20080731:
388 WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
389 time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
390 and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
391 don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
392 especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
393 also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
394 can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
395
396 20080721:
397 Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
398 isn't defined.
399
400 20080531:
401 The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
402 from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
403 utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
404 won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
405
406 $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
407 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
408 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
409
410 leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
411
412 20080503:
413 The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
414
415 20080521:
416 For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
417 succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
418 ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
419 problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
420 If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
421 remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
422
423 20080303:
424 Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
425
426 20080126:
427 The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
428 stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
429 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
430 avoid using the old assembly stub.
431
432 20071209:
433 The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
434 get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
435 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
436
437 20071115:
438 The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
439 argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
440 anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
441 rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
442 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
443
444 20071028:
445 The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
446 You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
447 to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
448 now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
449 entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
450 for more details.
451
452 20070913:
453 A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
454 enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
455 problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
456 implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
457 could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
458 normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
459 sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
460 and userland are from after 20070913.
461
462 20070703:
463 nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
464 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
465 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
466 re-installation of tools.
467
468 20070422:
469 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
470 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
471 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
472 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
473 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
474 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
475 that has such links.
476 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
477 the emulated root.
478
479 20070412:
480 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
481 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
482 example.
483
484 20070319:
485 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
486 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
487 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
488 cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
489 rebuild of object files that might have been built
490 incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least

494 src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
495 find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
496 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
497 will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt

500 The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
501 was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
502 kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
503 library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
504 an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
505 (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
506 the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
507 continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
508 is the only threaded application in the base system.

511 Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
512 from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
513 will need to do a "make cleandir" in
514 tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
515 bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
516 usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
517 as the installation images in distrib/
518 in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
519 file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
520
521 20061108:
522 The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
523 changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
524 does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
525 make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
526
527 20061009:
528 The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
529 available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
530
531 20060814:
532 The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
533 withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
534 kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
535 few years should cope.
536
537 20060703:
538 MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
539 if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
540 to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
541
542 20060627:
543 socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
544 For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
545 your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
546 errors will result.
547
548 Hints for a more successful build:
549 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
550 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
551 This will automatically build the tools in the
552 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
553 new build products from interfering with the running
554 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
555 other advice in this file.
556 Build a new kernel first:
557 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
558 expected by the new userland will be present. This
559 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
560 Use object directories:
561 This helps to keep stale object
562 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
563 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
564 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
565 same source tree for multiple machines.
566 To use object directories with build.sh:
567 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
568 To use object directories without using build.sh:
569 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
570 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
571 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
572 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
573 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
574 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
575 Build to a DESTDIR:
576 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
577 from interfering with the new build.
578 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
579 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
580 environment variable before running make build. It should be
581 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
582 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
583 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
584 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
585 (See critical utils, below.)
586 Build often:
587 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
588 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
589 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
590 this problem.
591
592 What to do if things don't work:
593 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
594 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
595 should be done.
596 1) make includes
597 This should be done automatically by make build.
598 2) cd share/mk && make install
599 Again, automatically done by make build.
600
601 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
602 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
603 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
604 something like the following:
605 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
606 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
607 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
608 3) cd ...path/to/util...
609 make cleandir
610 rm ...all obj directories...
611 make cleandir # yes, again
612 make obj
613 make depend && make
614
615 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
616 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
617 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
618 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
619 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
620 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

654
655 Other problems and possible solutions:
656 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
657 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
658 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
659 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
660 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
661 cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
662
663 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
664 cd share/mk && make install
665
666 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
667 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
668
669 Symptom:
670 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
671
672 Symptom:
673 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
674
675 Symptom:
676 Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
677
678 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
679 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
680 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
681 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
682 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
683
684 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
685 pointer type
686 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
687
688 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
689 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
690
691 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
692 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
693
694 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
695 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
696
697 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
698 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
699
700 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
701 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
702
703 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
704 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
705 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
706
707 Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
708 No such file or directory.
709 Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
710 deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
711 that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
712 contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
713 server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
714 Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
715 and try the update again.
