UPDATING revision 1.381
      1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.381 2025/06/02 00:49:03 gutteridge Exp $
      2 
      3 This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
      4 changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
      5 what to do if something doesn't work.
      6 
      7 For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
      8 using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
      9 
     10 Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
     11 build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
     12 working around specific problems with build.sh.
     13 
     14 Sections are marked with "^^^^^".  After the section on "Recent changes"
     15 are several sections containing more general information.
     16 
     17 See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.
     18 
     19 Recent changes:
     20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     21 
     22 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 20240920:
    102 	Update builds will require cleaning in src/external/historical/nawk/bin
    103 	in order to remove the awk subdirectory since there is now a binary
    104 	called awk.
    105 
    106 20240817:
    107 	Update builds will require cleaning in src/external/historical/nawk/bin
    108 	in order to remove the awk binary since now there is a subdirectory
    109 	called awk.
    110 
    111 20240812:
    112 	Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for gdb
    113 	if building with MKCROSSGDB=yes. All architectures use gdb.old
    114 	now.
    115 
    116 20240630:
    117 	Update builds will require removing the tools objdir for binutils
    118 	(as most architectures should use binutils.old now).
    119 
    120 20240610:
    121 	Update builds are likely to require removing the objdir for
    122 	distrib/<arch>/cdroms - or at least references to libarchive
    123 	from within there after the recent libarchive update.
    124 
    125 20240504:
    126 	Update builds on x86 require making the `cleandir' target in
    127 	lib/libm, or deleting the objdir for lib/libm.
    128 
    129 20240423:
    130 	Update builds with x11 may fail after switching to Mesa 21.
    131 
    132 20240410:
    133 	Update builds may require manually deleting
    134 	$DESTDIR/var/run/named (and, potentially,
    135 	$DESTDIR/var/run/lwresd) in order to avoid checkflist failure.
    136 
    137 20240409:
    138 	32-bit compatibility libraries were moved into the base32
    139 	and debug32 sets.  HTML man pages were moved into the manhtml set.
    140 
    141 20230828:
    142 	If:
    143         - you updated to current and ran postinstall between 20230826
    144 	  and 20230828 inclusive, and
    145         - you are not using anything outside the base system to
    146 	  populate /etc/openssl/certs (e.g., manually adding
    147 	  certificates or using ca-certificates or mozilla-rootcerts or
    148 	  mozilla-rootcerts-openssl from pkgsrc),
    149 	delete /etc/openssl/certs and rerun postinstall or just
    150 	`certctl rehash'.
    151 
    152 	Otherwise, certctl(8) will think someone else has left
    153 	/etc/openssl/certs in the way and will avoid clobbering it on
    154 	upgrade from older NetBSD.
    155 
    156 20230718:
    157 	build.sh will use mk.conf in the same directory as build.sh instead
    158 	of /etc/mk.conf, unless MAKECONF is already defined in the environment.
    159 
    160 20230714:
    161 	Import of gcc 10.5 requires a clean build of at least tools/gcc
    162 	and external/gpl3/gcc* object directories. An update build
    163 	without cleaning will result in obscure failures in rare corner
    164 	cases.
    165 
    166 20230604:
    167 	Building native kernels with the installed make(1) instead of
    168 	the $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-${arch} wrapper will fail if userland
    169 	has not been updated. Note that this is an unsupported build
    170 	configuration (but usually works if userland is -current enough).
    171 
    172 20230523:
    173 	ctfmerge was fixed as macOS host tool. This may require a clean tools
    174 	rebuild to detect the update to tools/compat/configure.
    175 
    176 20230515:
    177 	New openssl build requires removal of the crypto/external/bsd/openssl
    178 	and tests/crypto/libcrypto subdirectories in the ${OBJDIR} hierarchy.
    179 	Otherwise test results may be wrong due to wrong "golden" output
    180 	files being installed.
    181 
    182 20230322:
    183 	Fixes for moved /lib/libisns* mean that builds will complain about
    184 	./usr/lib/libisns* being missing until src/lib/libisns is forced
    185 	to (re)install the files, including the symlinks.  The simplest
    186 	way is to clean this subdir before building.
    187 
    188 20230112:
    189 	New binutils require an updated ld.elf_so. If you are doing
    190 	(unsupported) in-place self builds (with the -E flag to build.sh),
    191 	make sure to have installed latest ld.elf_so before you rebuild
    192 	userland.
    193 
    194 20221116:
    195 	The addition to NetBSD's version of UFS2 of support for extended
    196 	attributes broke backward compatibility with previous releases
    197 	of NetBSD, so UFS2 has been restored to being compatible with
    198 	previous NetBSD releases by disabling extended attributes.
    199 	(Note that ACLs are implemented as extended attributes, so
    200 	this changes disables ACLs as well.)
    201 
    202 	Support for UFS2 with extended attributes is now available in a new
    203 	UFS variant called UFS2ea.  If you have created extended attributes
    204 	in an original UFS2 file system then "fsck -p" will now fail due to
    205 	the unexpected presence of extended attributes and "fsck -y" will
    206 	remove all extended attributes.  If you wish to preserve extended
    207 	attributes rather than delete them, there is a utility to convert
    208 	a UFS2 file system to UFS2ea and leave extended attributes in place,
    209 	but this should be used with caution since it will preserve any
    210 	extended attributes that have been corrupted by the backward
    211 	incompatibility too.
    212 
    213 	If you wish to use a UFS2ea file system as your root file system,
    214 	then you will need to update your boot loader to a version that
    215 	supports UFS2ea.
    216 
    217 	For more information, see:
    218 	https://wiki.netbsd.org/features/UFS2ea
    219 
    220 20221111:
    221 	The new libdrm import worsened the conflict issues for the
    222 	kdump/ktruss ioctl, and i915 now conflicts with base, and has
    223 	been turned off.  This will cause update build issues like:
    224 
    225 		kdump-ioctl.c:12175:143: error: 'DRM_IOCTL_I915_DESTROY_HEAP'
    226 		   undeclared here (not in a function);
    227 		   did you mean 'DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB'?
    228 
    229 	You'll need to clean usr.bin/ktruss, usr.bin/kdump, and rescue.
    230 
    231 20220921:
    232 	Since the kernel version was bumped to 9.99.100, the bootloader
    233 	must be updated on x86 or EFI boot platforms in order to load
    234 	modules from boot.cfg(5) or interactively at the bootloader
    235 	prompt.
    236 
    237 	The kernel can still load modules at runtime, with modload(8)
    238 	or modules.conf(5), with no bootloader update.  This will not
    239 	affect release branches because it only applies to patch
    240 	numbers >=100.
    241 
    242 	On x86 (i386 or amd64) with BIOS boot, this requires copying a
    243 	new /usr/mdec/boot to /boot.  You can build this in the destdir
    244 	by running `$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in
    245 	sys/arch/i386/stand.
    246 
    247 	On platforms with EFI boot (including x86 with EFI boot), this
    248 	requires copying a new /usr/mdec/boot*.efi to the EFI/BOOT/
    249 	directory on the EFI system partition.  The boot*.efi file is:
    250 
    251 	aarch64	bootaa64.efi
    252 	amd64	bootx64.efi
    253 	arm	bootarm.efi	(32-bit arm)
    254 	i386	bootx32.efi
    255 
    256 	You can build this in the destdir by running
    257 	`$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$ARCH dependall install' in
    258 	sys/stand/efiboot/boot*.
    259 
    260 20220821:
    261 	Support for building extsrc/ has been deprecated.
    262 	EXTSRCSRCDIR and MKEXTSRC have been deprecated.
    263 
    264 20220714:
    265 	Updates to xorg-server and associated drivers may cause builds to
    266 	fail.  Cleaning both DESTDIR and the xorg build tree may be needed.
    267 
    268 20220628:
    269 	Changes in the build of src/games/robots require a clean build
    270 	of that program.
    271 
    272 20211116:
    273 	Changes in the xorg build require clean obj dirs for external/mit/xorg
    274 	(or a full clean/non-update build).
    275 
    276 20211112:
    277 	Device tree sources were updated for evbarm.  Some device nodes
    278 	(in particular, ld(4) devices on the ROCKPro64) will be renumbered.
    279 
    280 20211014:
    281 	MKPIE default for aarch64 has changed, a clean build is required.
    282 
    283 20210917:
    284 	Changed MNT_ACLS to default to POSIX1e ACLs instead of NFSv4
    285 	ACLs, to be compatible with FreeBSD. If you are using NFSv4 ACLs
    286 	and have "acls" in /etc/fstab you'll need to change it to "nfs4acls".
    287 
    288 20210711:
    289 	Updated GMP sources may require cleaning in tools/gmp and/or in
    290 	external/lgpl3/gmp/lib, particularly if GCC itself does not build.
    291 
    292 20210417:
    293 	GCC 10 was enabled for several platforms.  If builds fail in either
    294 	tools/gcc or external/gpl3/gcc, first try cleaning those objects and
    295 	removing the $DESTDIR/usr/include/g++ subdirectory.
    296 
    297 20201016:
    298 	MIPS kernel modules have been disabled until they work.  This will
    299 	turn up in extra files in the DESTDIR, which should be cleaned.
    300 
    301 20200925:
    302 	GNU MPC and MPFR have been updated.  At least MPFR needs cleaning
    303 	in both the tools and external dirs.
    304 
    305 20200912:
    306 	GCC 9 has arrived for Arm and x86 platforms, and will be coming
    307 	for several more, as will binutils 2.34.  Clean as required.
    308 
    309 20200907:
    310 	GCC 9 is coming, and binutils has been updated for MIPS.  This
    311 	probably requires cleaning the tools/binutils.
    312 
    313 20200811:
    314 	GCC updates may require cleaning the objdir.  This may occur
    315 	due to GCC 7.5 update, GCC 8.4 move to gcc.old, or the upcoming
    316 	GCC 9 upgrade.
    317 
    318 20200614:
    319 	blacklist* has been renamed to blocklist*. postinstall(8)
    320 	should handle the migration.
    321 
    322 20200601:
    323 	Due to a mistake in LIBISPRIVATE handling, .so libraries were
    324 	created in the build directories and need cleaning.
    325 
    326 20200311:
    327 	GCC 8 ports will need cleaning in src/tools/gcc and
    328 	src/external/gpl3/gcc due to GCC 8.4 update.
    329 
    330 20191118:
    331 	More architectures were switched to gcc8:
    332 	    i386, ia64 powerpc64, sparc, sparc64, arm
    333 	The same comments as in 20191022 apply.
    334 
    335 20191112:
    336 	The LLVM update requires a clean rebuild for all architectures using
    337 	LLVM during the tools build phase (i386, amd64, aarch64).
    338 
    339 20191022:
    340 	Ports amd64 and aarch64 switched to GCC 8.3 by default.
    341 	In-place ("expert mode", build.sh -E) builds are not supported
    342 	when going from a GCC 7 userland to GCC 8. Do a regular
    343 	build to a different DESTDIR (or preferably: build.sh -U) at least
    344 	once and install sets, or download comp.{tar.xz,tgz} from the
    345 	daily builds and install that before doing the next in-place build.
    346 
    347 20191001:
    348 	GCC 8.3 was imported.  Builds of src/tools/gcc may fail if
    349 	old builds with GCC 7 output now uses GCC 8.  Clean this
    350 	directory, and also clean src/external/gpl3/gcc.
    351 
    352 20190903:
    353 	Files with names that coincide with existing files' names on
    354 	case-insensitive file systems were inadvertently committed, for
    355 	radeon GPU firmware.  We cannot mark these as obsolete for
    356 	postinstall to fix, so if you updated src since 2019-08-26, and
    357 	ran build.sh distribution or ran build.sh release, you must
    358 	manually delete the following files in your DESTDIR (which is
    359 	usually $OBJDIR/destir.$ARCH), or from / if you have installed
    360 	them:
    361 
    362 		/libdata/firmware/radeon/bonaire_ce.bin

    432 20190727:
    433 	The uefi bootloader has gained tftp support and needs a clean
    434 	build. If you do update builds, manually clean its object
    435 	directory by something like:
    436 	cd sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot && make clean
    437 
    438 20190723:
    439 	The jemalloc allocator in libc is now built without extended
    440 	debugging (for performance reasons). In update builds make sure
    441 	to rebuild it completely, by removing all affected object files,
    442 	including compat builds, something like:
    443 	cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name jemalloc|xargs rm -rf
    444 
    445 20190207:
    446 	GCC 7 switched for many ports.  Update builds are likely to fail.
    447 
    448 Hints for a more successful build:
    449 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    450     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
    451 	This will automatically build the tools in the
    452 	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
    453 	   new build products from interfering with the running
    454 	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
    455 	   other advice in this file.
    456     Build a new kernel first:
    457 	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
    458 	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
    459 	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
    460     Use object directories:
    461 	This helps to keep stale object
    462 	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
    463 	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
    464 	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
    465 	   same source tree for multiple machines.
    466 	   To use object directories with build.sh:
    467 	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
    468 	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
    469 	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
    470 	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    471 	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
    472 	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
    473 	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
    474 	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
    475     Build to a DESTDIR:
    476 	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
    477 	   from interfering with the new build.
    478 	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
    479 	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
    480 	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
    481 	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
    482 	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
    483 		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
    484 		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
    485 		(See critical utils, below.)
    486     Build often:
    487 	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
    488 	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
    489 	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
    490 	this problem.
    491 
    492 What to do if things don't work:
    493 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    494 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
    495 should be done.
    496     1)	make includes
    497 	This should be done automatically by make build.
    498     2)  cd share/mk && make install
    499 	Again, automatically done by make build.
    500 
    501 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
    502 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    503 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
    504 something like the following:
    505     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
    506     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
    507 	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
    508     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
    509 	make cleandir
    510 	rm ...all obj directories...
    511 	make cleandir			# yes, again
    512 	make obj
    513 	make depend && make
    514 
    515 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
    516 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    517 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
    518 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
    519 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
    520 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
    521 
    522 ---cut here---
    523 #!/bin/sh
    524 . /etc/mk.conf
    525 
    526 if [ -z $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    527     NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
    528 fi
    529 if [ \! -d $NETBSDSRCDIR ] ; then
    530     echo Unable to find sources
    531     exit 1
    532 fi
    533 find $NETBSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
    534 
    535 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    536     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
    537 fi
    538 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
    539     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
    540 fi
    541 
    542 cd $NETBSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
    543 
    544 ---cut here---

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