UPDATING revision 1.380 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.380 2025/05/28 07:19:32 martin 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.

19 Recent changes:
20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
21
22 20250528:
23 Changes in the tools build require removing all config.cache
24 files in the object tools directories.
25
26 20250427:
27 The KERNEL_DIR option to build.sh is now functional. Set it
28 with ``-V KERNEL_DIR=yes'' on your build.sh command.
29 With this, you can now colocate kernel and associated modules
30 in /netbsd/{kernel,kernel.dbg,modules} instead of having the
31 kernel in / but modules in /stand.
32
33 Note that you'll need new bootstrap code to use this feature.
34
35 This completes work begun many years ago by christos@ :-)
36
37 20250413:
38 A change to bsd.lib.mk requires a clean build of all libraries.
39
40 20250131:
41 The switch to the new jemalloc requires cleaning in libc.
42
43 20241122:
44 Changes to various libraries' build options require cleaning
45 their objdirs in update builds:
46
47 cd external/bsd/file/lib && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH clean
48 cd external/bsd/libarchive/lib && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH clean
49 cd external/public-domain/xz/lib && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH clean
50
51 Also, for architectures with MKCOMPAT, it is necessary to clean
52 the compat objdirs too. The easiest way is:
53
54 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/file/lib
55 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/libarchive/lib
56 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/public-domain/xz/lib
57
58 Changes to bsd.lib.mk to improve detecting differences in
59 shared library symbol exports may cause some .actsym files in
60 the objdir to become stale in update builds.
61
62 To work around this, delete all files matching `*.actsym' in
63 the objdir. For example:
64
65 find OBJDIR -name '*.actsym' -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm
66
67 20241104:
68 Changes around the integration of the zstd compression
69 library may require manual deletion of some object directories
70 if you update from a build from a few days ago:
71 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libarchive*
72 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libmagic*
73 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/*/libzstd*
74 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libarchive*
75 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libmagic*
76 rm -rf DESTDIR/usr/lib/libzstd*
77 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/file/
78 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/libarchive/
79 rm -rf OBJDIR/compat/*/*/external/bsd/zstd/
80 rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/file/
81 rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/libarchive/
82 rm -rf OBJDIR/external/bsd/zstd/
83 rm -rf OBJDIR/external/gpl3/gcc/
84 rm -rf OBJDIR/tools/gcc/
85
86 20240926:
87 Building -current when running on amd64 from about 20240924
88 to about 20240926 will not work due to a "malloc_np.h"
89 error. Please downgrade to a version from 20240924 or older,
90 or upgrade to a newer version e.g. using a binary release from
91 the NetBSD build servers.
92
93 20240923:
94 Update builds will require cleaning the object directories for
95 jemalloc (like: "rm -rf $OBJ/external/bsd/jemalloc*") and the
96 libc dependency files (like: "rm $OBJ/lib/libc/jemalloc.*").
97 On architectures with COMPAT libs, those also have to be cleaned,
98 e.g. on sparc64: "rm -rf $OBJ/compat/sparc64/sparc/external/bsd/jemalloc*"
99 and "rm $OBJ/compat/sparc64/sparc/lib/libc/jemalloc.*".
100
101 20240817:
102 Update builds will require cleaning in src/external/historical/nawk/bin
103 in order to remove the awk binary since now there is a subdirectory
104 called awk.
105
106 20240812:
107 Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for gdb
108 if building with MKCROSSGDB=yes. All architectures use gdb.old
109 now.
110
111 20240630:
112 Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for binutils
113 (as most architectures should use binutils.old now).
114
115 20240610:
116 Update builds are likely to require removing the objdir for
117 distrib/<arch>/cdroms - or at least references to libarchive
118 from within there after the recent libarchive update.
119
120 20240504:
121 Update builds on x86 require making the `cleandir' target in
122 lib/libm, or deleting the objdir for lib/libm.
123
124 20240423:
125 Update builds with x11 may fail after switching to Mesa 21.
126
127 20240410:
128 Update builds may require manually deleting
129 $DESTDIR/var/run/named (and, potentially,
130 $DESTDIR/var/run/lwresd) in order to avoid checkflist failure.
131
132 20240409:
133 32-bit compatibility libraries were moved into the base32
134 and debug32 sets. HTML man pages were moved into the manhtml set.
135
136 20230828:
137 If:
138 - you updated to current and ran postinstall between 20230826
139 and 20230828 inclusive, and
140 - you are not using anything outside the base system to
141 populate /etc/openssl/certs (e.g., manually adding
142 certificates or using ca-certificates or mozilla-rootcerts or
143 mozilla-rootcerts-openssl from pkgsrc),
144 delete /etc/openssl/certs and rerun postinstall or just
145 `certctl rehash'.
146
147 Otherwise, certctl(8) will think someone else has left
148 /etc/openssl/certs in the way and will avoid clobbering it on
149 upgrade from older NetBSD.
150
151 20230718:
152 build.sh will use mk.conf in the same directory as build.sh instead
153 of /etc/mk.conf, unless MAKECONF is already defined in the environment.
154
155 20230714:
156 Import of gcc 10.5 requires a clean build of at least tools/gcc
157 and external/gpl3/gcc* object directories. An update build
158 without cleaning will result in obscure failures in rare corner
159 cases.
160
161 20230604:
162 Building native kernels with the installed make(1) instead of
163 the $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-${arch} wrapper will fail if userland
164 has not been updated. Note that this is an unsupported build
165 configuration (but usually works if userland is -current enough).
166
167 20230523:
168 ctfmerge was fixed as macOS host tool. This may require a clean tools
169 rebuild to detect the update to tools/compat/configure.
170
171 20230515:
172 New openssl build requires removal of the crypto/external/bsd/openssl
173 and tests/crypto/libcrypto subdirectories in the ${OBJDIR} hierarchy.
174 Otherwise test results may be wrong due to wrong "golden" output
175 files being installed.
176
177 20230322:
178 Fixes for moved /lib/libisns* mean that builds will complain about
179 ./usr/lib/libisns* being missing until src/lib/libisns is forced
180 to (re)install the files, including the symlinks. The simplest
181 way is to clean this subdir before building.
182
183 20230112:
184 New binutils require an updated ld.elf_so. If you are doing
185 (unsupported) in-place self builds (with the -E flag to build.sh),
186 make sure to have installed latest ld.elf_so before you rebuild
187 userland.
188
189 20221116:
190 The addition to NetBSD's version of UFS2 of support for extended
191 attributes broke backward compatibility with previous releases
192 of NetBSD, so UFS2 has been restored to being compatible with
193 previous NetBSD releases by disabling extended attributes.
194 (Note that ACLs are implemented as extended attributes, so
195 this changes disables ACLs as well.)
196
197 Support for UFS2 with extended attributes is now available in a new
198 UFS variant called UFS2ea. If you have created extended attributes
199 in an original UFS2 file system then "fsck -p" will now fail due to
200 the unexpected presence of extended attributes and "fsck -y" will
201 remove all extended attributes. If you wish to preserve extended
202 attributes rather than delete them, there is a utility to convert
203 a UFS2 file system to UFS2ea and leave extended attributes in place,
204 but this should be used with caution since it will preserve any
205 extended attributes that have been corrupted by the backward
206 incompatibility too.
207
208 If you wish to use a UFS2ea file system as your root file system,
209 then you will need to update your boot loader to a version that
210 supports UFS2ea.
211
212 For more information, see:
213 https://wiki.netbsd.org/features/UFS2ea
214
215 20221111:
216 The new libdrm import worsened the conflict issues for the
217 kdump/ktruss ioctl, and i915 now conflicts with base, and has
218 been turned off. This will cause update build issues like:
219
220 kdump-ioctl.c:12175:143: error: 'DRM_IOCTL_I915_DESTROY_HEAP'
221 undeclared here (not in a function);
222 did you mean 'DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB'?
223
224 You'll need to clean usr.bin/ktruss, usr.bin/kdump, and rescue.
225
226 20220921:
227 Since the kernel version was bumped to 9.99.100, the bootloader
228 must be updated on x86 or EFI boot platforms in order to load
229 modules from boot.cfg(5) or interactively at the bootloader
230 prompt.
231
232 The kernel can still load modules at runtime, with modload(8)
233 or modules.conf(5), with no bootloader update. This will not
234 affect release branches because it only applies to patch
235 numbers >=100.
236
237 On x86 (i386 or amd64) with BIOS boot, this requires copying a
238 new /usr/mdec/boot to /boot. You can build this in the destdir
239 by running `$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in
240 sys/arch/i386/stand.
241
242 On platforms with EFI boot (including x86 with EFI boot), this
243 requires copying a new /usr/mdec/boot*.efi to the EFI/BOOT/
244 directory on the EFI system partition. The boot*.efi file is:
245
246 aarch64 bootaa64.efi
247 amd64 bootx64.efi
248 arm bootarm.efi (32-bit arm)
249 i386 bootx32.efi
250
251 You can build this in the destdir by running
252 `$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in
253 sys/stand/efiboot/boot*.
254
255 20220821:
256 Support for building extsrc/ has been deprecated.
257 EXTSRCSRCDIR and MKEXTSRC have been deprecated.
258
259 20220714:
260 Updates to xorg-server and associated drivers may cause builds to
261 fail. Cleaning both DESTDIR and the xorg build tree may be needed.
262
263 20220628:
264 Changes in the build of src/games/robots require a clean build
265 of that program.
266
267 20211116:
268 Changes in the xorg build require clean obj dirs for external/mit/xorg
269 (or a full clean/non-update build).
270
271 20211112:
272 Device tree sources were updated for evbarm. Some device nodes
273 (in particular, ld(4) devices on the ROCKPro64) will be renumbered.
274
275 20211014:
276 MKPIE default for aarch64 has changed, a clean build is required.
277
278 20210917:
279 Changed MNT_ACLS to default to POSIX1e ACLs instead of NFSv4
280 ACLs, to be compatible with FreeBSD. If you are using NFSv4 ACLs
281 and have "acls" in /etc/fstab you'll need to change it to "nfs4acls".
282
283 20210711:
284 Updated GMP sources may require cleaning in tools/gmp and/or in
285 external/lgpl3/gmp/lib, particularly if GCC itself does not build.
286
287 20210417:
288 GCC 10 was enabled for several platforms. If builds fail in either
289 tools/gcc or external/gpl3/gcc, first try cleaning those objects and
290 removing the $DESTDIR/usr/include/g++ subdirectory.
291
292 20201016:
293 MIPS kernel modules have been disabled until they work. This will
294 turn up in extra files in the DESTDIR, which should be cleaned.
295
296 20200925:
297 GNU MPC and MPFR have been updated. At least MPFR needs cleaning
298 in both the tools and external dirs.
299
300 20200912:
301 GCC 9 has arrived for Arm and x86 platforms, and will be coming
302 for several more, as will binutils 2.34. Clean as required.
303
304 20200907:
305 GCC 9 is coming, and binutils has been updated for MIPS. This
306 probably requires cleaning the tools/binutils.
307
308 20200811:
309 GCC updates may require cleaning the objdir. This may occur
310 due to GCC 7.5 update, GCC 8.4 move to gcc.old, or the upcoming
311 GCC 9 upgrade.
312
313 20200614:
314 blacklist* has been renamed to blocklist*. postinstall(8)
315 should handle the migration.
316
317 20200601:
318 Due to a mistake in LIBISPRIVATE handling, .so libraries were
319 created in the build directories and need cleaning.
320
321 20200311:
322 GCC 8 ports will need cleaning in src/tools/gcc and
323 src/external/gpl3/gcc due to GCC 8.4 update.
324
325 20191118:
326 More architectures were switched to gcc8:
327 i386, ia64 powerpc64, sparc, sparc64, arm
328 The same comments as in 20191022 apply.
329
330 20191112:
331 The LLVM update requires a clean rebuild for all architectures using
332 LLVM during the tools build phase (i386, amd64, aarch64).
333
334 20191022:
335 Ports amd64 and aarch64 switched to GCC 8.3 by default.
336 In-place ("expert mode", build.sh -E) builds are not supported
337 when going from a GCC 7 userland to GCC 8. Do a regular
338 build to a different DESTDIR (or preferably: build.sh -U) at least
339 once and install sets, or download comp.{tar.xz,tgz} from the
340 daily builds and install that before doing the next in-place build.
341
342 20191001:
343 GCC 8.3 was imported. Builds of src/tools/gcc may fail if
344 old builds with GCC 7 output now uses GCC 8. Clean this
345 directory, and also clean src/external/gpl3/gcc.
346
347 20190903:
348 Files with names that coincide with existing files' names on
349 case-insensitive file systems were inadvertently committed, for
350 radeon GPU firmware. We cannot mark these as obsolete for
351 postinstall to fix, so if you updated src since 2019-08-26, and
352 ran build.sh distribution or ran build.sh release, you must
353 manually delete the following files in your DESTDIR (which is
354 usually $OBJDIR/destir.$ARCH), or from / if you have installed
355 them:

426
427 20190727:
428 The uefi bootloader has gained tftp support and needs a clean
429 build. If you do update builds, manually clean its object
430 directory by something like:
431 cd sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot && make clean
432
433 20190723:
434 The jemalloc allocator in libc is now built without extended
435 debugging (for performance reasons). In update builds make sure
436 to rebuild it completely, by removing all affected object files,
437 including compat builds, something like:
438 cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name jemalloc|xargs rm -rf
439
440 20190207:
441 GCC 7 switched for many ports. Update builds are likely to fail.
442
443 Hints for a more successful build:
444 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
445 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
446 This will automatically build the tools in the
447 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
448 new build products from interfering with the running
449 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
450 other advice in this file.
451 Build a new kernel first:
452 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
453 expected by the new userland will be present. This
454 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
455 Use object directories:
456 This helps to keep stale object
457 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
458 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
459 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
460 same source tree for multiple machines.
461 To use object directories with build.sh:
462 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
463 To use object directories without using build.sh:
464 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
465 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
466 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
467 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
468 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
469 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
470 Build to a DESTDIR:
471 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
472 from interfering with the new build.
473 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
474 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
475 environment variable before running make build. It should be
476 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
477 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
478 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
479 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
480 (See critical utils, below.)
481 Build often:
482 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
483 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
484 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
485 this problem.
486
487 What to do if things don't work:
488 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
489 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
490 should be done.
491 1) make includes
492 This should be done automatically by make build.
493 2) cd share/mk && make install
494 Again, automatically done by make build.
495
496 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
497 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
498 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
499 something like the following:
500 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
501 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
502 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
503 3) cd ...path/to/util...
504 make cleandir
505 rm ...all obj directories...
506 make cleandir # yes, again
507 make obj
508 make depend && make
509
510 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
511 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
512 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
513 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
514 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
515 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

541 Critical utilities:
542 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
543 usr.bin/make
544 usr.bin/yacc
545 usr.bin/lex
546 usr.bin/xlint
547 usr.bin/config
548
549 Other problems and possible solutions:
550 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
551 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
552 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
553 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
554 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
555 cd usr.bin/make && cc -DMAKE_NATIVE *.c -I. -o make \
556 && install make /usr/bin
557
558 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
559 cd share/mk && make install
560
561 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
562 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
563
564 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
565 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
566 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
567 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
568 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
569
570 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
571 pointer type
572 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
573
574 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
575 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
576
577 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
578 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
579
580 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
581 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
582
583 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
584 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
585
586 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
587 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
588 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
589
590 Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
591 No such file or directory.
592 Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
593 deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
594 that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
595 contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
596 server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
597 Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
598 and try the update again.
