|
| The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated, |
|
| including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support. |
|
| All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into |

|
| |
|
| 20021121: |
|
| The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o |
|
| (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were |
|
| split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting. |
|
| This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the |
|
| new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding |
|
| libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new |
|
| required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to |
|
| do this. |
|
| |
|
| An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries |
|
| which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that |
|
| their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked. |
|
| |
|
| 20021121: |
|
| A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been |
|
| corrected. |
|
| |
|
| NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by |
|
| default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking |
|
| objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the |
|
| compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP" |
|
| to the assembler. |
|
| |
|
| Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider |
|
| old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be |
|
| incompatible with new (properly marked) objects. |
|
| |
|
| The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile |
|
| a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program |
|
| against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp" |
|
| markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES |
|
| WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY. |
|
| |
|
| The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of |
|
| the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for |
|
| system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are |
|
| generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you |
|
| have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled |
|
| if you wish to link new programs against those libraries. |
|
| |
|
| If you have questions about this matter, please contact |
|
| port-arm@NetBSD.org. |
|
| |
|
| 20021011: |
|
| Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation. |
|
| Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace |
|
| to be rebuilt. |
|
| |
|
| 20021010: |
|
| The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register |
|
| dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users |
|
| must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new |
|
| kernel. |
|
| |
|
| 20021009: |
|
| A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8), |
|
| which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users |
|
| must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new |
|
| kernel. |
|
| |
|
| 20021003: |
|
| Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration |
|
| framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config |
|
| before building a new kernel. |
|
| |
|
| 20021001: |
|
| The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users |
|
| will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration |
|
| file. Multiprocessor kernels will need |
|
| ioapic* at mainbus? apid ? |
|
| options MULTIPROCESSOR |
|
| options COM_MPLOCK |
|
| |
|
| 20020922: |
|
| MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that |
|
| certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared |
|
| linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin |
|
| and /sbin are dynamically linked. |
|
| If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that |
|
| you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations, |
|
| with: |
|
| make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so |
|
| |
|
| 20020917: |
|
| USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with: |
|
| - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which |
|
| there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5, |
|
| x86_64). |
|
| - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the |
|
| root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This |
|
| enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING |
|
| platforms. |
|
| |
|
| 20020906: |
|
| gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and |
|
| reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel. |
|
| |
|
| 20020822: |
|
| Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others) |
|
| are now provided in /rescue. |
|
| |
|
| To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter |
|
| what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built |
|
| from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry). |
|
| |
|
| 20020820: |
|
| crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program |
|
| is statically linked. |
|
| |
|
| Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch |
|
| |
|
| 20020605: |
|
| smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail. |
|
| |
|
| Add the following into /etc/group: |
|
| |
|
| smmsp:*:17: |
|
| |
|
| and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw): |
|
| |
|
| smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin |
|
| |
|
| 20020515: |
|
| sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd |
|
| will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes) |
|
| |
|
| Add the following into /etc/group: |
|
| |
|
| sshd:*:16: |
|
| |
|
| and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw): |
|
| |
|
| sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin |
|
| |
|
| Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of |
|
| the build process). |
|
| |
|
| 20020426: |
|
| NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j. |
|
| |
|
| 20020426: |
|
| etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for |
|
| configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of |
|
| the problems identified. |
|
| This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's |
|
| configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5). |
|
| |
|
| 20020320: |
|
| <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support. |
|
| Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build. |
|
| |
|
| 20020319: |
|
| Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len |
|
| on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold |
|
| newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel. |
|
| |
|
| 20020311: |
|
| ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware |
|
| if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs |
|
| to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside). |
|
| |
|
| 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 a new toolchain, |
|
| (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU" |
|
| from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland. |
|
| See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information. |
|
| [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled] |
|
| |
|
| 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}. |
