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. |

|
| (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like |

| `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the |

| 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. |
|

|
| 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. |
|

|
| Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds |

|
| To work around add by hand: |

| |
|
| 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. |

|
| 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| The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the |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 |
