This new build method - is intended to make all the upgrade issues elsewhere in UPDATING - obsolete (stay tuned...). - - i386 platform builds must now set TOOLDIR in mk.conf or the - environment in order to build the system.

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 successfuly, you need to build and install new gas - (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new), or (temporarily) comment out - "options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you - rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas). - -20010731: - Bootloader update on ELF platforms.

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).

This - helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading. - Use object directories: - This helps to keep stale object - files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets" - about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after - a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the - same source tree for multiple machines. - To use object directories: - a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir - b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf - c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf - d) cd /usr/src ; make build - Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create - in obj.$MACHINE directory. - Build to a DESTDIR: - This helps to keep old - installed files (especially libraries) from interfering - with the new build. - To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment - variable before running make build. It should be set to - the pathname of an initially empty directory. - Problems: you might need to update critical utilities - without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed - from what is installed in DESTDIR. - (See critical utils, below) - Build often: - This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke - on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to - date functionality. - -What to do if things don't work: -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly -should be done. - 1) make includes - This should be done automatically by make build. - 2) cd share/mk && make install - Again, automatically done by make build. - -Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree: -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do -something like the following: - 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date. - 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular - utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...) - 3) cd ...path/to/util... - make cleandir - rm ...all obj directories... - make cleandir # yes, again - make obj - make depend && make - -Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree: -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and -ready for a build try the following.
