UPDATING revision 1.263
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.263 2015/09/19 18:31:41 dholland 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.
     16 
     17 See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.
     18 
     19 Recent changes:
     20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     21 
     22 20150818:
     23 	New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
     24 	again.
     25 
     26 20150413:
     27 	New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
     28 	in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
     29 	also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
     30 
     31 20150404:
     32 	Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
     33 	sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
     34 	do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
     35 	src/usr.bin/xlint.
     36 
     37 20150310:
     38 	Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
     39 	the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
     40 	external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
     41 
     42 20141026:
     43 	A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
     44 	in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
     45 	during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
     46 	directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
     47 	and let cvs restore it on next update.
     48 
     49 20140721:
     50 	The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
     51 	and then deleted in the CVS repository.  If you get errors like
     52 
     53 	cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
     54 	/cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
     55 
     56 	then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
     57 
     58 20140530:
     59 	ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
     60 	rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
     61 
     62 20140131:
     63 	The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
     64 	advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
     65 	of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
     66 
     67 20131227:
     68 	1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
     69 	   attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
     70 	   mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
     71 	   statements to avoid being exposed.
     72 	2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
     73 	   to make clean in libc
     74 
     75 20131129:
     76 	The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
     77 	cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
     78 
     79 20131128:
     80 	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
     81 	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
     82 
     83 20130605:
     84 	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
     85 	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
     86 
     87 20130605:
     88 	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
     89 	header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
     90 	please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
     91 
     92 20130531:
     93 	The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
     94 	in the obj tree.  Make sure to ensure any like this:
     95 		nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
     96 	is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
     97 
     98 20130530:
     99 	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
    100 	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
    101 
    102 20130301:
    103 	The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
    104 	prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
    105 
    106 20120726:
    107 	The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
    108 	directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
    109 	DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
    110 	some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
    111 	cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
    112 
    113 20120507:
    114 	The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
    115 	need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
    116 	for the next weekly run to fix it.
    117 
    118 20120319:
    119 	sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
    120 	size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
    121 	your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
    122 	you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
    123 	mk.conf.
    124 
    125 20120216:
    126 	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
    127 	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
    128 	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
    129 	/var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
    130 	the next run of weekly will fix it.
    131 
    132 20111227:
    133 	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
    134 	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
    135 	bump has been reverted.
    136 
    137 20111125:
    138 	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
    139 	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
    140 	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
    141 	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
    142 
    143 20111119:
    144 	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
    145 	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
    146 	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
    147 	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
    148 	replace your rndctl executable too.
    149 
    150 20111001:
    151 	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
    152 	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
    153 	one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
    154 	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
    155 
    156 20110817:
    157 	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
    158 	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
    159 
    160 20110806:
    161 	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
    162 	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
    163 
    164 20110805:
    165 	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
    166 	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
    167 	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
    168 	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
    169 
    170 20110803:
    171 	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed.  To do an
    172 	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
    173 	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
    174 	is now a directory.
    175 
    176 20110410:
    177 	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed.  To do an
    178 	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
    179 	tools/gcc by hand.
    180 
    181 20110328:
    182 	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
    183 	ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
    184 	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
    185 	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
    186 	directory.
    187 
    188 20110121:
    189 	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
    190 	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
    191 	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
    192 	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
    193 
    194 20101217:
    195 	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
    196 	by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
    197 	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
    198 
    199 20101125:
    200 	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
    201 	variables with names that contain '='.  Revision 1.18 of env.c
    202 	assumed that this was allowed.  Installing a new libc with an
    203 	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
    204 	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
    205 	so building gcc will end up printing:
    206 	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
    207 	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
    208 	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
    209 
    210 20101119:
    211 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
    212 	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
    213 	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
    214 	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
    215 
    216 20100604:
    217 	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
    218 	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
    219 	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
    220 	trees by hand.
    221 
    222 20100522:
    223 	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
    224 	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
    225 	build problems with xsrc.
    226 
    227 20100522:
    228 	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
    229 	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
    230 
    231 20100520:
    232 	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
    233 	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
    234 
    235 20100222:
    236 	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
    237 	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
    238 	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
    239 	your object directories.
    240 
    241 20100204:
    242 	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
    243 	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
    244 	from the system when upgrading.
    245 	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
    246 	and destination directories.
    247 
    248 20091101:
    249         After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
    250         target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
    251         'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
    252         src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
    253 
    254 20091001:
    255 	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
    256 	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
    257 
    258 20091001:
    259 	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
    260 	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
    261 	it is in, and retry your build.
    262 
    263 20090718:
    264 	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
    265 	point for index().  Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
    266 	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
    267 	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
    268 
    269 20090709:
    270 	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
    271 	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
    272 
    273 20090616:
    274 	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
    275 	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
    276 	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
    277 	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
    278 	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
    279 
    280 20090501:
    281 	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
    282 	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
    283 	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly.  If you
    284 	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
    285 	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
    286 	objects and start again.
    287 
    288 20090325:
    289 	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
    290 	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
    291 
    292 20090126:
    293 	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type.  You
    294 	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
    295 	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
    296 
    297 20090202:
    298 	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
    299 	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
    300 	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
    301 
    302 20090110:
    303 	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities.  To upgrade:
    304 	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it.  Build and install.
    305 	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
    306 	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
    307 	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
    308 	   before installing.
    309 	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
    310 	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair.  Make sure headers
    311 	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
    312 	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
    313 	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them.  Once
    314 	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
    315 	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
    316 	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
    317 	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
    318 	   that depend on it.
    319 	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
    320 	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
    321 	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
    322 	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
    323 	   for utmp.  You are better off removing the old files after
    324 	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
    325 	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
    326 	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
    327 	   files manually.
    328 	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
    329 	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
    330 	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
    331 	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
    332 	   the file.
    333 	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
    334 	   disk will break or need attention.  Most notably: if you are
    335 	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
    336 	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
    337 
    338 20081219:
    339 	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
    340 	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
    341 	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
    342 	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
    343 	kernels.
    344 
    345 20081205:
    346 	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
    347 	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
    348 	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
    349 
    350 20081122:
    351 	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
    352 	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
    353 	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
    354 	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
    355 
    356 	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
    357 
    358 	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
    359 	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
    360 
    361 	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
    362 	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
    363 	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
    364 
    365 20080827:
    366 	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
    367 	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
    368 	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
    369 	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
    370 	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
    371 	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
    372 
    373 20080813:
    374 	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
    375 	about .go files.  You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
    376 
    377 20080802:
    378 	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
    379 	been fixed.  Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
    380 	for -current.
    381 
    382 	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
    383 	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
    384 	be recompiled.
    385 
    386 	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
    387 
    388 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    389 	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
    390 
    391 20080731:
    392 	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
    393 	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
    394 	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
    395 	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
    396 	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
    397 	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
    398 	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
    399 
    400 20080721:
    401 	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
    402 	isn't defined.
    403 
    404 20080531:
    405 	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
    406 	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129.  The drvctl(8)
    407 	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
    408 	won't work correctly.  The following sequence of commands:
    409 
    410 	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
    411 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
    412 	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
    413 
    414 	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
    415 
    416 20080503:
    417 	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
    418 
    419 20080521:
    420 	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
    421 	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
    422 	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
    423 	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
    424 	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
    425 	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
    426 
    427 20080303:
    428 	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
    429 
    430 20080126:
    431 	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
    432 	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub.  You need to
    433 	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
    434 	avoid using the old assembly stub.
    435 
    436 20071209:
    437 	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments.  If you
    438 	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
    439 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    440 
    441 20071115:
    442 	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
    443 	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
    444 	anymore.  The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
    445 	rather than the EC address port.  Please update your kernel
    446 	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
    447 
    448 20071028:
    449 	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
    450 	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
    451 	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
    452 	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
    453 	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
    454 	for more details.
    455 
    456 20070913:
    457 	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
    458 	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
    459 	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
    460 	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
    461 	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
    462 	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
    463 	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
    464 	and userland are from after 20070913.
    465 
    466 20070703:
    467 	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
    468 	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
    469 	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
    470 	re-installation of tools.
    471 
    472 20070422:
    473 	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
    474 	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
    475 	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
    476 	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
    477 	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
    478 	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
    479 	that has such links.
    480 	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
    481 	the emulated root.
    482 
    483 20070412:
    484 	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
    485 	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
    486 	example.
    487 
    488 20070319:
    489         src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
    490         on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
    491         updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
    492 	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
    493 	rebuild of object files that might have been built
    494 	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
    495 	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
    496 
    497 20070210:
    498         src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
    499           find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
    500               | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
    501         will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
    502 
    503 20070209:
    504         The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
    505         was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
    506         kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
    507         library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
    508         an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
    509         (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
    510         the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
    511         continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
    512 	is the only threaded application in the base system.
    513 
    514 20061214:
    515 	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
    516 	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
    517 	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
    518 		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
    519 		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
    520 		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
    521 		as the installation images in distrib/
    522 	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
    523 	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
    524 
    525 20061108:
    526 	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
    527 	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
    528 	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared.  You'll need to
    529 	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
    530 
    531 20061009:
    532 	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
    533 	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
    534 
    535 20060814:
    536 	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
    537 	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
    538 	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
    539 	few years should cope.
    540 
    541 20060703:
    542 	MPACPI is no more.  We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
    543 	if we have an ACPI kernel.  The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
    544 	to ACPI_SCANPCI.  Thanks to work from fvdl.
    545 
    546 20060627:
    547 	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
    548 	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
    549 	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
    550 	errors will result.
    551 
    552 Hints for a more successful build:
    553 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    554     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    555 	This will automatically build the tools in the
    556 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    557 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    558 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    559 	   other advice in this file.
    560     Build a new kernel first:
    561 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    562 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    563 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    564     Use object directories:
    565 	This helps to keep stale object
    566 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    567 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    568 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    569 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    570 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    571 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    572 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    573 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    574 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    575 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    576 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    577 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    578 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    579     Build to a DESTDIR:
    580 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    581 	   from interfering with the new build.
    582 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    583 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    584 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    585 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    586 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    587 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    588 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    589 		(See critical utils, below.)
    590     Build often:
    591 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    592 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    593 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    594 	this problem.
    595 
    596 What to do if things don't work:
    597 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    598 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
    599 should be done.
    600     1)	make includes
    601 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    602     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    603 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    604 
    605 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    606 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    607 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    608 something like the following:
    609     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    610     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    611 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    612     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    613 	make cleandir
    614 	rm ...all obj directories...
    615 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    616 	make obj
    617 	make depend && make
    618 
    619 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    620 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    621 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    622 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    623 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    624 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    625 
    626 ---cut here---
    627 #!/bin/sh
    628 . /etc/mk.conf
    629 
    630 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    631     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    632 fi
    633 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    634     echo Unable to find sources
    635     exit 1
    636 fi
    637 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    638 
    639 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    640     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    641 fi
    642 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    643     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    644 fi
    645 
    646 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
    647 
    648 ---cut here---

    650 Critical utilities:
    651 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    652 	usr.bin/compile_et
    653 	usr.bin/make
    654 	usr.bin/yacc
    655 	usr.bin/lex
    656 	usr.bin/xlint
    657 	usr.bin/config
    658 
    659 Other problems and possible solutions:
    660 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    661 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
    662 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
    663 	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
    664 	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
    665 	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
    666 
    667 Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
    668 	cd share/mk && make install
    669 
    670 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
    671 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
    672 
    673 Symptom:
    674 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
    675 
    676 Symptom:
    677 Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
    678 
    679 Symptom:
    680 Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
    681 
    682 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
    683 Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
    684 	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
    685 	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
    686 	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
    687 
    688 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
    689 	pointer type
    690 Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
    691 
    692 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
    693 Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
    694 
    695 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
    696 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    697 
    698 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
    699 Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
    700 
    701 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
    702 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
    703 
    704 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
    705 Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
    706 
    707 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
    708 	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
    709 Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
    710 
    711 Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
    712 	No such file or directory.
    713 Cause:	If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
    714 	deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
    715 	that bypass the normal cvs access controls.  If your cvs working tree
    716 	contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
    717 	server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
    718 Fix:	Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
    719 	and try the update again.
    720
