 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.

 Recent changes:  Recent changes:
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   20110117:
 20040418:          Assembler files on the following platforms no longer use -tradition-cpp:
         Statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before          - Alpha,
         installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running          - AMD64,
         a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc          - i386,
         build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make          - SPARC,
         clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about          - SPARC64.
         anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects          This can break the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is
         from the libc build directory.          handled correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update
           /usr/share/mk and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as
 20040326:          needed.
         The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds  
         has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS  20101217:
         and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk          The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
         to build it.          by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
           group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
         This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when  
         building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.  20101125:
           The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
 20040318:          variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
         A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without          assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
         provision of backwards compatibility, after several public          old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
         notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher          break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
         ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and          so building gcc will end up printing:
         recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See              checking dependency style of gcc... none
         (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)              configure: error: no usable dependency style found
           Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
 20040313:  
         On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and  20101119:
         the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files          Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
         will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf          or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
         for examples.          have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
           versions between xorg-server and drivers.
 20040125:  
         On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer  20100604:
         needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration          The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
         files.          unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
           you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
 20040109:          trees by hand.
         Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been  
         added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled  20100522:
         when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current          Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
         since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal          problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
         superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have          build problems with xsrc.
         an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4  
         to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has  20100522:
         been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.          private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
         See the following discussion for more information:          include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html  
   20100520:
 20031203:          The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
         New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.          remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
         It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that  
         the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.  20100222:
           The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
 20031111:          .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
         A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is          libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
                 cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --          your object directories.
   
 20031008:  20100204:
         /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.          The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
         It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that          but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
         the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.          from the system when upgrading.
           As such, you will need to remove them from your object
 20031007:          and destination directories.
         A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits  
         of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags.  This should only  20091101:
         affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.          After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
         A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which          target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
         should fix this problem, and a warning message was added          'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
         to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See          src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html  
   20091001:
 20030906:          On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
         With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline          before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
         code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running  
         kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.  20091001:
           An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
 20030801:          symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
         With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.          it is in, and retry your build.
         rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \  
         /usr/lib/libdes* before building.  20090718:
           libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
 20030703:          point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
         Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to          may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
         build the included texinfo files, do:          (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  20090709:
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
           without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
 20030630:  
         Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do  20090616:
                 cd share/mk && make install          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
                 cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff          src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
                 make MKMAN=no dependall install          work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
         (untested).          subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
           be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
 20030516:  
         Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines  20090501:
         were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when          Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
         mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already          can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
         been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks          who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
         export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,          note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a

         file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.          objects and start again.
         a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.  
   20090325:
 20030402:          The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
         The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6          cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
         fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch  
         with the first alternate, because they compare too many  20090126:
         fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
         your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.          need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
         None of this signals actual filesystem damage.          to avoid using the old assembly stub.
   
 20030324:  20090202:
         sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
         mode for most common activities, there is a new config          ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
         file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.  
         The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf  20090110:
         is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:

         Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         build the included texinfo files, do:             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
              libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
              rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
 20021223:             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
         The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading             that depend on it.

         update tools/mtree, before running make build.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
 20021219:             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by

         use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and  
         reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.  20081219:
           config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
 20021130:          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config

         and rebuild libc:          kernels.
                 make includes  
                 make do-lib-libc  20081205:
         If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         before rebuilding the tools.          /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.
 20021126:  
         The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,  20081122:

         An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries  20080827:
         which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
           which results in false errors reported by lint(1).

 20020320:  20070209:
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
         Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.          was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new

         Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len          an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
         on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.          the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
           continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
 20020311:          is the only threaded application in the base system.
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware  
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs  20061214:
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
           from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds

         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   20061108:
         Add the following into /etc/group:          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
           changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
         ntpd:*:15:          does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
           make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   20061009:
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
           available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
 20011207:  
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting  20060814:

           kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
         To fix:          few years should cope.
   
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)  20060703:
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         gnu/lib/libgcc          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         gnu/lib/libstdc++  
   20060627:
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
 20011201:          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If          errors will result.
         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}.
