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. 16 17See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile. 18 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 ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It 468 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass 469 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a 470 re-installation of tools. 471 47220070422: 473 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root 474 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back 475 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation 476 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated 477 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they 478 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install 479 that has such links. 480 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside 481 the emulated root. 482 48320070412: 484 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc 485 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an 486 example. 487 48820070319: 489 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so 490 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you 491 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$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 502 50320070209: 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. 625 626---cut here--- 627#!/bin/sh 628. /etc/mk.conf 629 630if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then 631 NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src 632fi 633if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then 634 echo Unable to find sources 635 exit 1 636fi 637find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \; 638 639if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then 640 BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj 641fi 642if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then 643 rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR 644fi 645 646cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir 647 648---cut here--- 649 650Critical 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 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.
