 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.

 20021219:  20091001:

         of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).          it is in, and retry your build.
   
         The build system was modified to take advantage of  20090718:
         this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you          libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
         use USE_TOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and          point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
         reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.          may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
           (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
 20021130:  
         fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.  20090709:
         If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         and rebuild libc:          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
                 make includes  
                 make do-lib-libc  20090616:
         If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for

         including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.  
         All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into  20090501:
         /usr/include.          Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
           can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people

         This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the  
         new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding  20090325:

         their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.          the old assembly stub.
   
 20021121:  20090202:
         A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         corrected.          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
           ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
         NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by  
         default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking  20090110:
         objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:

         to the assembler.             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is

         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work

         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
              your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
         against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
              rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for             that depend on it.
         system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are          5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
         generally available on releng.netbsd.org.  Any packages you             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.

         if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
         If you have questions about this matter, please contact             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         port-arm@netbsd.org.             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
              newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
 20021011:             files manually.
         Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
         Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace             accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
         to be rebuilt.             removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
              /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
 20021010:             the file.
         The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on

 20021009:  20081219:
         A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
         which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config

         kernel.          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
           kernels.
 20021003:  
         Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration  20081205:
         framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         before building a new kernel.          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
           set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
 20021001:  
         The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users  20081122:

                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:

           be recompiled.
         To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter  
         what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built          One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:

         To fix:  20070913:
           A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to

         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)          problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF

 20011004:          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
         is suggested before running a snapshot build                  bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
                   usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
 20010915:                  as the installation images in distrib/
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         files that still reference this file.  
   20061108:
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
         directories.          changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
           does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
 20010803:          make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  20061009:
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
   
 20010803:  20060814:
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the          withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"          few years should cope.
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.  
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  20060703:
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
 20010731:          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before  
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  20060627:
         bootloaders.          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
 20010726:          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to          errors will result.
         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).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable  
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.  
   
 20010226:  
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         To work around add by hand:  
   
         named:*:14:  
   
         to /etc/group and add:  
   
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin  
   
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).  
   
         Now a make build should progress.  
   
 20010219:  
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need  
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.  
   
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff  
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to  
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)  
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if  
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.  
   
 20010204:  
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in  
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc  
         needs to be installed before make build.  
   
 20010114:  
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing  
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed  
         with make build.  
   
 20010101:  
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused  
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.  
   
 20001230:  
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.  
         If you get make errors,  
                 (cd share/mk; make install)  
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.  
   
 20001019:  
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the  
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev  
         directory.  
   
 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}.
