 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.

 20010814:  20090110:
         TOOLDIR must be set in /etc/mk.conf.          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2001/08/14/0002.html          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
           2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
 20010803:             before installing.
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before             your build breaks in the middle, don't dispair. Make sure headers
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
              libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
 20010803:             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like fxsave which          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         old gas doesn't understand.  To build the kernel successfuly, you             you'll need to bump them and rebuild them.
         need to build and install new gas (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new).  20081219:
           config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
 20010731:          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before          (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
         bootloaders.          kernels.
   
 20010726:  20081205:
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         build the included texinfo files, do:          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
           set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  
         make MKINFO=no dependall install  20081122:
           On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
 20010718:          file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
           Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this          following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
         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          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
         timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").  
           - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
         if you have a stale dependency.  
           If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so          the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
         before starting your build.          file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
   
 20010628:  20080827:
           If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
         in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable          which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.          Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
           needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
 20010226:            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
   
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  20080813:
         will break as mtree aborts early.          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
           about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         To work around add by hand:  
   20080731:
         named:*:14:          WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
           time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
         to /etc/group and add:          and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
           don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin          especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
           also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).          can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
   
         Now a make build should progress.  20080721:
           Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
 20010219:          isn't defined.
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need  
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.  20080531:
           The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff          from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to          utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)          won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if  
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
             $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
 20010204:            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in  
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc          leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
         needs to be installed before make build.  
   20080503:
 20010114:          The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing  20080521:
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed          For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
         with make build.          succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
           ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
 20010101:          problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
   
 20001230:  20080303:
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
         If you get make errors,  
                 (cd share/mk; make install)  20080126:
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.          The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
           stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
 20001019:          'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the          avoid using the old assembly stub.
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev  
         directory.  20071209:
           The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
 20000929:          get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
         The following make directives are obsoleted.          configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA  
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be  20071115:
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build          The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.          argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
           anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
 20000623:          rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
         MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.          configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
         'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.  
   20071028:
           The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
           You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
           to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
           now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
           entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
           for more details.
   
   20070913:
           A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
           enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
           problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
           implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
           could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
           normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
           sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
           and userland are from after 20070913.
   
   20070703:
           nbinstall has been renamed as it calls the target specific and
           the logic to pass down STRIP from mk been removed.  This forces
           a re-installation of tools.
   
   20070422:
           The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
           has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
           to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
           root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
           root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
           start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
           that has such links.
           This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
           the emulated root.
   
   20070412:
           The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
           instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
           example.
   
   20070319:
           src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
           on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
           updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
           cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
           rebuild of object files that might have been built
           incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
           src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
   
   20070210:
           src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
             find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
                 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
           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.
