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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
