 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.

 20021121:  20100522:
         A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been          private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
         corrected.          include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir tools/mklocale.
   
         NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by  20100520:
         default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking          The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please

         compiler was no properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"  
         to the assembler.  
   20100222:
         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider          The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
         old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be          .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.          libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
           your object directories.
         The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile  
         a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program  20100204:

           As such, you will need to remove them from your object
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of          and destination directories.
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for  
         system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; there are  20091101:
         generally available on releng.netbsd.org.  Any packages you          After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'

           src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
         If you have questions about this matter, please contact  
         port-arm@netbsd.org.  20091001:
           On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
 20021011:          before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
         Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.  
         Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace  20091001:
         to be rebuild.          An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
           symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
 20021010:          it is in, and retry your build.
         The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register  
         dependencies on attributes, as well as other options.  Users  20090718:
         must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new          libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
         kernel.          point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
           may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
 20021009:          (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
         A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),  
         which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users  20090709:
         must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         kernel.          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
   
 20021003:  20090616:
         Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
         framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config          src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not

           subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
 20021001:          be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
         The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users  
         will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration  20090501:

         MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that  
         certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared  20090325:

         If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that  
         you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,  20090126:
         with:          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
                 make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so          need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
           to avoid using the old assembly stub.
 20020917:  
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:  20090202:
             -   TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
                 x86_64).          ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
             -   EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the  
                 root ofan external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This  20090110:
                 enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
                 platforms.          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
              This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
 20020906:             conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
         gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
         reinstall usr.sbin/config before build the kernel.             before installing.
           3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
 20020822:             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         are now provided in /rescue.             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
              libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
              Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
 20020820:             that depend on it.
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program          5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
         is statically linked.             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
           6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
 20020515:             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
         will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)             newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
              files manually.
         Add the following into /etc/group:          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
              accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
         sshd:*:16:             removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
              /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):             the file.
           8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin             disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
              using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
         also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as a part of             rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
         build process).  
   20081219:
 20020426:          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
         NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
           (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
 20020426:          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for          kernels.
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of  
         the problems identified.  20081205:
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).          /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.
 20020320:  
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for it's "-a cmd" support.  20081122:
         build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.          On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
           file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
 20020319:          Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
         raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len          following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
         on send(2) operation.  be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold  
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
   
 20020311:          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs  
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).          If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
           the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
 20020223:          file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  20080827:
         the VAX assembly files.          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
           2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
 20020118:          which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
           Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
         will break as mtree aborts early.            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  20080813:
           MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
         ntpd:*:15:          about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  20080802:
           A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin          been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
           for -current.
 20011207:  
           Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting          libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native          be recompiled.
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.  
           One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
         To fix:  
             $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)            $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)  
   20080731:
         gnu/lib/libgcc          WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
         gnu/lib/libstdc++          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
           and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.          don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
           especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
 20011201:          also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If          can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
         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  20080721:
         point is broken.          Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
           isn't defined.
         To build:  
   20080531:
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc          The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links          from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
         against the new libgcc.a)          utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
           won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
 20011128:  
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  
         to build a new kernel.          leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
   
 20011030:  20080503:
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)          The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
         before building libc.  
   20080521:
 20011029:          For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to

         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         manual update log.          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
   
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  20080303:
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of  
         by the new build system.  20080126:
           The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly

           problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
 20010803:          implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it          could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because

         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so  
         before starting your build.  20070210:
           src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.

 20010219:                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need                  as the installation images in distrib/
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
           file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff  
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to  20061108:

 20010101:  20060703:
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
           to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
 20001230:  
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.  20060627:
         If you get make errors,          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.

         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
           errors will result.
 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}.
