 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.

 20020311:  20071115:
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware          The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port

         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work                  bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
         for you.                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well

 20011006:          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  
         understand the format.  20061108:
           The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree          changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
           does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
 20011004:          make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating  
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  20061009:
           The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
 20010915:          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed  
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend  20060814:
         files that still reference this file.          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
           withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
         directories.          few years should cope.
   
 20010803:  20060703:
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.  
   20060627:
 20010803:          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,          errors will result.
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"  
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.  
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]  
   
 20010731:  
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before  
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  
         bootloaders.  
   
 20010726:  
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  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).  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}.
