 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.

         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  
         to build a new kernel.  20070210:
           src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.

 20011029:  20070209:
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch

         by the new build system.  
   20061214:
 20011028:          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         prevented this was corrected.                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
                   bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work                  as the installation images in distrib/
         for you.          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
           file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
 20011006:  
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  20061108:
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been

 20011004:  20061009:
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         is suggested before running a snapshot build          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
   
 20010915:  20060814:
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend          withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
         files that still reference this file.          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
           few years should cope.
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected  
         directories.  20060703:
           MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
 20010803:          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow  20060627:
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
 20010803:          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like          errors will result.
         `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}.
