| 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. |

Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is |

| |
entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file |
| |
for more details. |
| |
|
| |
20070913: |
| |
A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to |
| |
enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause |
| |
problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF |
| |
implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon |
| |
could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because |
| |
normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not |
| |
sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel |
| |
and userland are from after 20070913. |
| |
|
| |
20070703: |
| |
nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It |
| |
calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass |
| |
down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a |
| |
re-installation of tools. |
| |
|
| |
20070422: |
| |
The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root |
| |
has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back |
| |
to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation |
| |
root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated |
| |
root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they |
| |
start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install |
| |
that has such links. |
| |
This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside |
| |
the emulated root. |
| |
|
| |
20070412: |
| |
The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc |
| |
instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an |
| |
example. |
| |
|
| |
20070319: |
| |
src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so |
| |
on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you |
| |
updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch |
| |
cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a |
| |
rebuild of object files that might have been built |
| |
incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least |
| |
src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130. |
| |
|
| |
20070210: |
| |
src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed. |
| |
find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \ |
| |
| xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm |
| |
will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt |
| |
|

20070209: |
| |
The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch |
| |
was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new |
| |
kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread |
| |
library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with |
| |
an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library |
| |
(/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and |
| |
the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should |
| |
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. |

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. |

The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer |

available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

This will automatically build the tools in the |

correct order, and it will keep the tools and the |

new build products from interfering with the running |

system. This will allow you to ignore most of the |
