1.1 abs 2:
1.123 jmc 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.
1.1 abs 6:
1.123 jmc 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.

16: Recent changes:
17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.154 he 19: 20061214:
20: Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
21: from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
22: will need to do a "make cleandir" in
23: tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
24: bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
1.156 ! he 25: usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
! 26: as the installation images in distrib/
1.154 he 27: in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
28: file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
29:
1.152 christos 30: 20061108:
31: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
32: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
33: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
34: make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
35:
1.151 rpaulo 36: 20061009:
37: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
38: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
39:
1.150 bjh21 40: 20060814:
41: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
42: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
43: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
44: few years should cope.
45:
1.149 christos 46: 20060703:
47: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
48: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
49: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
50:
1.148 dogcow 51: 20060627:
52: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
53: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
54: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
55: errors will result.
56:
1.146 pavel 57: 20060526:
1.147 christos 58: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
59: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 60: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
61: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 62: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
63: with an error like:
64: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
65: non constant expression for load base
66: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
67: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
68: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
69: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
70: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
71:
1.145 martin 72: 20060131:
73: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
74: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
75: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
76: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
77: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
78:
1.144 yamt 79: 20050917:
80: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
81: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
82: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
83: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
84: to get the previous configuration.
85:
1.143 lukem 86: 20050830:
87: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
88: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
89: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
90: this in their DESTDIR.
91:
1.142 drochner 92: 20050825:
93: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
94: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
95: modified to emit the new data structures.
96: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
97: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
98:
1.139 christos 99: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 100: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
101: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 102: you can build a kernel again.
103:
1.140 yamt 104: 20050520:
105: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
106: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
107:
1.138 lukem 108: 20050417:
109: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
110: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
111: upgrade.
112:
1.136 cube 113: 20050325:
114: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
115: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
116: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 117: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
118: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
119: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
120: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 121:
1.135 jmc 122: 20050211:
123: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
124: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
125: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
126: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
127: make a build continue.
128:
1.134 christos 129: 20050109:
130: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
131: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
132: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
133: a password).
134:
1.133 christos 135: 20041229:
136: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
137: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
138: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
139: the build.
140:
1.130 christos 141: 20041201:
142: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
143: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 144: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 145:
1.129 jmc 146: 20041006:
147:
148: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
149: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
150: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
151: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
152:
153: ident /bin/sh | grep var
154:
155: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
156: before attempting a build.
157:
1.127 christos 158: 20041001:
159: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
160: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
161: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 162: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
163: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 164:
1.125 atatat 165: 20040715:
166: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
167: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
168: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
169: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
170: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
171: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
172:
173: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
174:
175: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
176: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
177: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
178: loopback interface.
179:
180: 20040715:
181: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
182: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
183: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
184:
1.124 jmc 185: 20040621:
186: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
187: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
188:
189: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 190: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 191:
192: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
193:
1.121 lukem 194: 20040516:
195: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
196: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
197: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
198: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
199:
1.126 lukem 200: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
201: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
202: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
203: manually move these files yourself.
204:
1.119 atatat 205: 20040426:
206: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
207: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
208: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
209: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
210: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
211: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
212: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
213: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
214: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
215: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 216: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
217: do the following:
1.119 atatat 218:
1.120 atatat 219: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
220: make USETOOLS=no includes
221: cd lib/libc
222: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
223: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 224: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
225:
1.122 itojun 226: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
227: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
228: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
229: make sure to follow the above steps.
230:
1.118 dbj 231: 20040425:
232: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
233: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
234: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
235: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
236: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
237: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
238: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
239: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
240: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
241: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
242:
1.115 christos 243: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 244: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 245: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
246: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
247: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
248: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 249: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
250: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 251:
1.114 jmc 252: 20040326:
253: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 254: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 255: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
256: to build it.
257:
258: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
259: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
260:
1.113 dan 261: 20040318:
262: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
263: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
264: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
265: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
266: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
267: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
268:
1.108 bjh21 269: 20040313:
270: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
271: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
272: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
273: for examples.
274:
1.106 bjh21 275: 20040125:
276: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
277: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
278: files.
1.105 bjh21 279:
1.102 dbj 280: 20040109:
281: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
282: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
283: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
284: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 285: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 286: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 287: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 288: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
289: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 290: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 291:
1.99 mrg 292: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 293: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 294: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
295: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 296:
297: 20031111:
298: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
299: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 300:
301: 20031008:
302: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
303: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
304: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 305:
1.109 dbj 306: 20031007:
1.153 reed 307: A sign extension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
1.111 simonb 308: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
309: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 310: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 311: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
312: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
313: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 314:
1.96 christos 315: 20030906:
316: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
317: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
318: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 319:
320: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 321: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 322: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 323: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 324:
325: 20030703:
326: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
327: build the included texinfo files, do:
328:
329: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
330: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 331:
332: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 333: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 334: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 335: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
336: make MKMAN=no dependall install
337: (untested).
1.89 christos 338:
339: 20030516:
340: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
341: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
342: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
343: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
344: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
345: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
346: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
347: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 348:
349: 20030402:
350: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
351: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
352: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
353: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
354: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
355: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 356:
357: 20030324:
358: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
359: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
360: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
361: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
362: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
363: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
364: configuration file is also strongly advised.
365:
366: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
367: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
368: information.
1.82 wiz 369:
370: 20030117:
371: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
372: build the included texinfo files, do:
373:
374: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
375: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 376:
377: 20021223:
378: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
379: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
380: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
381: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
382: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 383:
384: 20021219:
385: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
386: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
387:
1.93 salo 388: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 389:
390: 20021219:
391: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
392: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
393: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
394:
395: The build system was modified to take advantage of
396: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 397: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 398: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 399:
400: 20021130:
401: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
402: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
403: and rebuild libc:
404: make includes
405: make do-lib-libc
406: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
407: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 408:
409: 20021126:
410: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
411: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
412: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
413: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 414:
415: 20021121:
416: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
417: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
418: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
419: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
420: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
421: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
422: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
423: do this.
424:
425: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
426: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
1.153 reed 427: their global constructors/destructors will not be invoked.

430: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
431: corrected.
432:
433: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
434: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
435: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 436: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 437: to the assembler.
438:
439: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
440: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
441: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
442:
443: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
444: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
445: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
446: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
447: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
448:
449: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
450: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 451: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 452: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 453: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
454: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
455:
456: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 457: port-arm@NetBSD.org.

776: Hints for a more successful build:
777: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 778: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 779: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 780: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
781: new build products from interfering with the running
782: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
783: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 784: Build a new kernel first:
785: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
786: expected by the new userland will be present. This
787: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 788: Use object directories:
789: This helps to keep stale object
790: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
791: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
792: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
793: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 794: To use object directories with build.sh:
795: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
796: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 797: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 798: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
799: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 800: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 801: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
802: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 803: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 804: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
805: from interfering with the new build.
806: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
807: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
808: environment variable before running make build. It should be
809: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
810: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
811: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
812: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
813: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 814: Build often:
815: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
816: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 817: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
818: this problem.
1.1 abs 819:
820: What to do if things don't work:
821: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
822: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
823: should be done.
824: 1) make includes
825: This should be done automatically by make build.
826: 2) cd share/mk && make install
827: Again, automatically done by make build.
828:
829: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
830: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
831: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
832: something like the following:
833: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
834: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
835: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
836: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
837: make cleandir
838: rm ...all obj directories...
839: make cleandir # yes, again
840: make obj
841: make depend && make
842:
843: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
844: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
845: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 846: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
847: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
