UPDATING revision 1.263
1$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.263 2015/09/19 18:31:41 dholland Exp $
2
3This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12working around specific problems with build.sh.
13
14Sections are marked with "^^^^^".  After the section on "Recent changes"
15are several sections containing more general information.

19Recent changes:
20^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
21
2220150818:
23	New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
24	again.
25
2620150413:
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
3120150404:
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
3720150310:
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
4220141026:
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
4920140721:
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
5820140530:
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
6220140131:
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
6720131227:
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
7520131129:
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
7920131128:
80	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
81	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
82
8320130605:
84	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
85	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
86
8720130605:
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
9220130531:
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
9820130530:
99	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
100	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
101
10220130301:
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
10620120726:
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
11320120507:
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
11820120319:
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
12520120216:
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
13220111227:
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
13720111125:
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
14320111119:
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
15020111001:
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
15620110817:
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
16020110806:
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
16420110805:
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
17020110803:
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
17620110410:
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
18120110328:
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
18820110121:
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
19420101217:
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
19920101125:
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
21020101119:
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
21620100604:
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
22220100522:
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
22720100522:
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
23120100520:
232	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
233	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
234
23520100222:
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
24120100204:
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
24820091101:
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
25420091001:
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
25820091001:
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
26320090718:
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
26920090709:
270	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
271	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
272
27320090616:
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
28020090501:
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
28820090325:
289	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
290	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
291
29220090126:
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
29720090202:
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
30220090110:
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
33820081219:
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
34520081205:
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
35020081122:
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
36520080827:
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
37320080813:
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
37720080802:
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
39120080731:
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
40020080721:
401	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
402	isn't defined.
403
40420080531:
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
41620080503:
417	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
418
41920080521:
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
42720080303:
428	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
429
43020080126:
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
43620071209:
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
44120071115:
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
44820071028:
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
45620070913:
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
46620070703:
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.

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
48320070412:
484	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
485	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
486	example.

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
49720070210:
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

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
51420061214:
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
52520061108:
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
53120061009:
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
53520060814:
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
54120060703:
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
54620060627:
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
552Hints 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
596What to do if things don't work:
597^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
598When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
599should 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
605Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
606^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
607To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
608something 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
619Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
620^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
621If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
622ready 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
624for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
625

658
659Other problems and possible solutions:
660^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
661Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
662Fix:	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
667Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
668	cd share/mk && make install
669
670Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
671Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
672
673Symptom:
674Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
675
676Symptom:
677Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
678
679Symptom:
680Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
681
682Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
683Fix:	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
688Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
689	pointer type
690Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
691
692Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
693Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
694
695Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
696Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
697
698Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
699Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
700
701Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
702Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
703
704Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
705Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
706
707Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
708	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
709Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
710
711Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
712	No such file or directory.
713Cause:	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.
718Fix:	Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
719	and try the update again.
