 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.
   
 For a more detailed description see Makefile.  See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
 20010226:  20071028:
           The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds          You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
         will break as mtree aborts early.          to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
           now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
         To work around add by hand:          entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
           for more details.
         named:*:14:  
   20070913:
         to /etc/group and add:          A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
           enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin          problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
           implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).          could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
           normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
         Now a make build should progress.          sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
           and userland are from after 20070913.
 20010219:  
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need  20070703:
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.          nbinstall has been renamed as it calls the target specific and
           the logic to pass down STRIP from mk been removed.  This forces
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff          a re-installation of tools.
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to  
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)  20070422:
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if          The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.          has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
           to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
 20010204:          root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in          root filesytem will be relative to that filesystem - unless they
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc          start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
         needs to be installed before make build.          that has such links.
           This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
 20010114:          the emulated root.
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing  20070412:
         anything make and install in /usr/bin/make, then proceed          The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
         with make build.          instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
           example.
 20010101:  
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused  20070319:
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.          src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
           on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
 20001230:          updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.          cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
         If you get make errors,          rebuild of object files that might have been built
                 (cd share/mk; make install)          incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.          src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
   
 20001019:  20070210:
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the          src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev            find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
         directory.                | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
           will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
 20000929:  
         The following make directives are obsoleted.  20070209:
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be          was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.          library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
           an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
 20000623:          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
         MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.          the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
         'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.          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.
