 This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build  This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
 process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.  changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
   what to do if something doesn't work.
   
   For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
   using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
   
   Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
   build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
   working around specific problems with build.sh.

 20011029:  20090616:
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build          src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN          work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this          subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
         manual update log.          be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
   
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  20090530:
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
         by the new build system.          ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
   
 20011028:          audit-packages.conf(5) has been superseded by pkg_install.conf(5).
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle          The default configuration is the same.  Support for pkg_view(1) has
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that          been retired.  The functionality of audit-packages(1) and
         prevented this was corrected.          download-vulnerability-list(1) has moved into pkg_admin(1), wrapper
           scripts that handle the common use cases are provided.
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall  
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work  20081205:
         for you.          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
           /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
 20011006:          set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  20080827:
         understand the format.          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
           2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree          which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
           Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
 20011004:          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g:
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  
   20080813:
 20010915:          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed          about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend  
         files that still reference this file.  20080731:
           WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
         directories.          and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
           don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
 20010803:          especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it          also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before          can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow  
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.  20080721:
           Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
 20010803:          isn't defined.
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like  
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  20080531:
         kernel successfuly, you need to build and install new gas          The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
         (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new), or (temporarily) comment out          from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
         "options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you          utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
         rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).          won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
   
 20010731:            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
         bootloaders.  
           leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
 20010726:  
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to  20080503:
         build the included texinfo files, do:          The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  20080521:
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
           succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that

         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this          problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
         was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
         timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").  
   20080303:
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
         if you have a stale dependency.  
   20080126:
         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so          The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
         before starting your build.          stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
           'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
 20010628:          avoid using the old assembly stub.
         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  20071209:
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.          The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
           get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
 20010226:          configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  20071115:
           The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
         To work around add by hand:          argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
           anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
         named:*:14:          rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
           configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
         to /etc/group and add:  
   20071028:
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin          The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
           You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).          to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
           now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
         Now a make build should progress.          entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
           for more details.
 20010219:  
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need  20070913:
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.          A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
           enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff          problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to          implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)          could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if          normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.          sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
           and userland are from after 20070913.
 20010204:  
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in  20070703:
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc          nbinstall has been renamed as it calls the target specific and
         needs to be installed before make build.          the logic to pass down STRIP from mk been removed.  This forces
           a re-installation of tools.
 20010114:  
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  20070422:
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing          The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed          has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
         with make build.          to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
           root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated

         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.          that has such links.
           This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
 20001230:          the emulated root.
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.  
         If you get make errors,  20070412:
                 (cd share/mk; make install)          The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.          instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
           example.
 20001019:  
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the  20070319:
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev          src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so

         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build  
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.  20070210:
           src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.

           will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
   
   20070209:
           The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
           was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
           kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
           library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
           an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
           (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
           continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
           is the only threaded application in the base system.
   
   20061214:
           Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
           from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
           will need to do a "make cleandir" in
                   tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
                   bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
                   usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
                   as the installation images in distrib/
           in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
           file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
   
   20061108:
           The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
           changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
           does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
           make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
   
   20061009:
           The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
           available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
   
   20060814:
           The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
           withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
           kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
           few years should cope.
   
   20060703:
           MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
           to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
   
   20060627:
           socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
           your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
           errors will result.
