 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.

         need to build and install new gas (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new).

           that has such links.
 20010718:          This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
           the emulated root.
         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this  
         was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means  20070412:

           example.
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV  
         if you have a stale dependency.  20070319:

   20070209:
         To work around add by hand:          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
           was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         named:*:14:          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
           library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
         to /etc/group and add:          an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
           (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin          the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
           continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).          is the only threaded application in the base system.
   
         Now a make build should progress.  20061214:
           Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
 20010219:          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,

 20010114:  20061009:

         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed  
         with make build.  20060814:
           The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
 20010101:          withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC

         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.          few years should cope.
   
 20001230:  20060703:
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         If you get make errors,          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
                 (cd share/mk; make install)          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.  
   20060627:
 20001019:          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         directory.          errors will result.
   
 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}.  
   
 20000623:  
         MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.  
         'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.
