 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

 20020917:          The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:          variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
             -   TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which          assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an

                 platforms.          Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
   
 20020906:  20101119:
         gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and          Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
         reinstall usr.sbin/config before build the kernel.          or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
           have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
 20020822:          versions between xorg-server and drivers.
         Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)  
         are now provided in /rescue.  20100604:
           The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
         To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter          unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
         what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built          you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
         from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).          trees by hand.
   
 20020820:  20100522:
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program          Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
         is statically linked.          problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
           build problems with xsrc.
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch  
   20100522:
 20020515:          private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
         sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd          include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
         will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)  
   20100520:
         Add the following into /etc/group:          The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
           remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
         sshd:*:16:  
   20100222:
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):          The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
           .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin          libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
           your object directories.
         also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as a part of  
         build process).  20100204:
           The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
 20020426:          but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
         NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.          from the system when upgrading.
           As such, you will need to remove them from your object
 20020426:          and destination directories.
         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for  
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of  20091101:
         the problems identified.          After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's          target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).          'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
           src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
 20020320:  
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for it's "-a cmd" support.  20091001:
         build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.          On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
           before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
 20020319:  
         raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len  20091001:
         on send(2) operation.  be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold          An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.          symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
           it is in, and retry your build.
 20020311:  
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware  20090718:
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs          libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).          point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
           may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
 20020223:          (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  20090709:
         the VAX assembly files.          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
           without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
 20020118:  
   20090616:
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
         will break as mtree aborts early.          src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
           work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
         Add the following into /etc/group:          subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
           be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
         ntpd:*:15:  
   20090501:
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):          Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
           can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin          who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
           note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
 20011207:          failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
           objects and start again.
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting  
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native  20090325:
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.          The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
           cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
         To fix:  
   20090126:
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)          need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
           to avoid using the old assembly stub.
         gnu/lib/libgcc  
         gnu/lib/libstdc++  20090202:
           pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
           ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
 20011201:  
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If  20090110:
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
         point is broken.             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
              conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
         To build:          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
              before installing.
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         against the new libgcc.a)             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
              and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
 20011128:             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
         to build a new kernel.             that depend on it.
           5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
 20011030:             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         before building libc.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
 20011029:             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build             newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN             files manually.
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
         manual update log.             accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
              removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the             /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes             the file.
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
         by the new build system.             disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
              using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
 20011028:             rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle  
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that  20081219:
         prevented this was corrected.          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
           swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall          (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
         for you.          kernels.
   
 20011006:  20081205:
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
         understand the format.          set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree  20081122:
           On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
 20011004:          file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating          Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
         is suggested before running a snapshot build          following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
   
 20010915:          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed  
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
         files that still reference this file.            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
   
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected          If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
         directories.          the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
           file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
 20010803:  
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  20080827:
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.          which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
           Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
 20010803:          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,  20080813:
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.          about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]  20080802:
           A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
 20010731:          been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before          for -current.
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  
         bootloaders.          Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
           libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
 20010726:          be recompiled.
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to  
         build the included texinfo files, do:          One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo            $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
         make MKINFO=no dependall install            $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
   
 20010718:  20080731:
         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this          WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
         was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
         make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the          and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
         timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").          don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
           especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV          also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
         if you have a stale dependency.          can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
   
         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so  20080721:
         before starting your build.          Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
           isn't defined.
 20010628:  
         A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug  20080531:
         in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable          The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.          from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
           utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
 20010226:          won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
             $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
         To work around add by hand:            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)

           succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
         Now a make build should progress.          ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
           problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
 20010219:          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.  
   20080303:
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to

         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.  
   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.
   
   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.
