 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.

 20030630:          Assembler files on the following platforms no longer use -tradition-cpp:
         Groff was update to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do          - Alpha,

 20020820:  
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program  20080813:
         is statically linked.          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
           about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch  
   20080802:

         smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.          been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
           for -current.
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
           Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
         smmsp:*:17:          libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to

         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for          won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of  
         the problems identified.            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
   
 20020320:          leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.  
         Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.  20080503:
           The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.

 20020311:          problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).  
   20080303:
 20020223:          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  20080126:

           get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
         ntpd:*:15:          configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  20071115:
           The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin          argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
           anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port

         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native  
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.  20071028:
           The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
         To fix:          You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
           to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the

           for more details.

         gnu/lib/libstdc++  20070913:
           A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.          enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
           problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
 20011201:          implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If          could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this          normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating          sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
         point is broken.          and userland are from after 20070913.
   
         To build:  20070703:
           nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc          calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links          down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
         against the new libgcc.a)          re-installation of tools.
   
 20011128:  20070422:
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in          The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are          has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure          to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting          root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
         to build a new kernel.          root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
           start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
 20011030:          that has such links.
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)          This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
         before building libc.          the emulated root.
   
 20011029:  20070412:
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or          The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build          instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN          example.
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this  
         manual update log.  20070319:
           src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the          on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you

         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle  
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that  20070210:
         prevented this was corrected.          src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.

         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall                | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work          will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
         for you.  
   20070209:
 20011006:          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of          was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
         understand the format.          library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
           an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
 20011004:          continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating          is the only threaded application in the base system.
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  
   20061214:
 20010915:          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         files that still reference this file.                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,

         directories.                  as the installation images in distrib/
           in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
 20010803:          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  20061108:
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.          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.
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like  
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  20061009:
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.  
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  20060814:
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
           withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
 20010731:          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before          few years should cope.
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  
         bootloaders.  20060703:
           MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
 20010726:          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         build the included texinfo files, do:  
   20060627:
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
           your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
 20010718:          errors will result.
         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}.
