 20010226:  20040410:
   
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds          In order to build a complete release of 1.5 (post 1.5.3) the following
         will break as mtree aborts early.          steps should be performed first:
   
         To work around add by hand:                  1. Build and install a new make (usr.bin/make)
                   2. Build and install new copies of libcrypto and libssl
                      (they are at new major versions so they won't conflict w.
                       existing libraries).
   
         named:*:14:  
   
         to /etc/group and add:  
   
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin  
   
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).  
   
         Now a make build should progress.  
   
 20010219:  
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need  
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.  
   
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff  
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to  
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)  
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if  
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.  
   
 20010204:  
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in  
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc  
         needs to be installed before make build.  
   
 20010114:  
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing  
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed  
         with make build.  
   
 20010101:  
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused  
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.  
   
 20001230:  
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.  
         If you get make errors,  
                 (cd share/mk; make install)  
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.  
   
 20001019:  
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the  
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev  
         directory.  
   
 20000929:  
         The following make directives are obsoleted.  
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA  
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be  
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build  
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.  
   
 20000623:  
         MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.  
         'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.  
   
   
 Hints for a more successful build:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
     Build a new kernel first:  
         This makes sure that any new system calls or features  
            expected by the new userland will be present.  This  
            helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.  
     Use object directories:  
         This helps to keep stale object  
            files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"  
            about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after  
            a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the  
            same source tree for multiple machines.  
            To use object directories:  
             a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir  
             b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf  
             c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf  
             d) cd /usr/src ; make build  
            Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create  
            in obj.$MACHINE directory.  
     Build to a DESTDIR:  
         This helps to keep old  
            installed files (especially libraries) from interfering  
            with the new build.  
            To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment  
            variable before running make build.  It should be set to  
            the pathname of an initially empty directory.  
            Problems: you might need to update critical utilities  
                 without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed  
                 from what is installed in DESTDIR.  
                 (See critical utils, below)  
     Build often:  
         This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke  
         on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to  
         date functionality.  
   
 What to do if things don't work:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
 When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly  
 should be done.  
     1)  make includes  
         This should be done automatically by make build.  
     2)  cd share/mk && make install  
         Again, automatically done by make build.  
   
 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do  
 something like the following:  
     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.  
     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular  
         utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)  
     3)  cd ...path/to/util...  
         make cleandir  
         rm ...all obj directories...  
         make cleandir                   # yes, again  
         make obj  
         make depend && make  
   
 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and  
 ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf  
 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work  
 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.  
   
 ---cut here---  
 #!/bin/sh  
 . /etc/mk.conf  
   
 if [ -z $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then  
     BSDSRCDIR=/usr/src  
 fi  
 if [ \! -d $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then  
     echo Unable to find sources  
     exit 1  
 fi  
 find $BSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;  
   
 if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then  
     BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj  
 fi  
 if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then  
     rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR  
 fi  
   
 cd $BSDSRCDIR && make cleandir  
   
 ---cut here---  
   
 Critical utilities:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
         gnu/usr.bin/egcs  
         usr.bin/compile_et  
         usr.bin/make  
         usr.bin/yacc  
         usr.bin/lex  
         usr.bin/xlint  
         usr.sbin/config  
   
 Other problems and possibly solutions:  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
 Symptom:Unreasonable compiler errors.  
 Fix:    Rebuild gnu/usr.bin/egcs  
   
 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.  
 Fix:    Rebuild usr.bin/make:  
         cd usr.bin/make && make && make install  
         Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:  
         cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin  
   
 Fix:    Make sure .mk files are up to date.  
         cd share/mk && make install  
   
 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.  
 Fix:    Rebuild usr.sbin/config  
   
 Symptom:  
 Fix:    Rebuild usr.bin/yacc  
   
 Symptom:  
 Fix:    Rebuild usr.bin/lex  
   
 Symptom:  
 Fix:    rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a  
   
 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation  
 Fix:    Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.  
         make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj  
         (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files  
         may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)  
   
 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type  
 Fix:    Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc  
   
 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype  
 Fix:    Build and install usr.bin/mklocale  
   
 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13'  
 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc  
   
 Symptom:usr.sbin/config fails to build.  
 Fix:    Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.  
   
 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'  
 Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc  
   
 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option  
 Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
