 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
 20020320:  20040410:
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for it's "-a cmd" support.  
   
 20020319:          In order to build a complete release of 1.5 (post 1.5.3) the following
         raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len          steps should be performed first:
         on send(2) operation.  be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold  
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.  
   
 20020311:                  1. Build and install a new make (usr.bin/make)
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware                  2. Build and install new copies of libcrypto and libssl
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs                     (they are at new major versions so they won't conflict w.
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).                      existing libraries).
   
 20020223:  
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  
         the VAX assembly files.  
   
 20020118:  
   
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         ntpd:*:15:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin  
   
 20011207:  
   
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting  
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native  
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.  
   
         To fix:  
   
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)  
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)  
   
         gnu/lib/libgcc  
         gnu/lib/libstdc++  
   
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.  
   
 20011201:  
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If  
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this  
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating  
         point is broken.  
   
         To build:  
   
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc  
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links  
         against the new libgcc.a)  
   
 20011128:  
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in  
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are  
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure  
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  
         to build a new kernel.  
   
 20011030:  
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)  
         before building libc.  
   
 20011029:  
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or  
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build  
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN  
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this  
         manual update log.  
   
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes  
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of  
         by the new build system.  
   
 20011028:  
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle  
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that  
         prevented this was corrected.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall  
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work  
         for you.  
   
 20011006:  
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  
         understand the format.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree  
   
 20011004:  
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating  
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  
   
 20010915:  
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed  
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend  
         files that still reference this file.  
   
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected  
         directories.  
   
 20010803:  
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow  
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.  
   
 20010803:  
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like  
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install new gas  
         (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new), or (temporarily) comment out  
         "options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you  
         rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).  
   
 20010731:  
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before  
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  
         bootloaders.  
   
 20010726:  
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to  
         build the included texinfo files, do:  
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  
         make MKINFO=no dependall install  
   
 20010718:  
         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this  
         was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means  
         make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the  
         timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").  
   
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV  
         if you have a stale dependency.  
   
         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so  
         before starting your build.  
   
 20010628:  
         A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug  
         in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable  
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.  
   
 20010226:  
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         To work around add by hand:  
   
         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 hostprogs 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}.  
   
   
 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 possible 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
