 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

         Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to  
         build the included texinfo files, do:  20090718:

         make MKINFO=no dependall install          may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
           (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
 20021223:  
         The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading  20090709:
         "${DESTDIR}" from path names.          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
         For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and  
         update tools/mtree, before running make build.  20090616:

         reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.          The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
           cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
 20021130:  
         fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.  20090126:

         The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,  
         including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.  20090110:
         All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:

         split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
         required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         do this.             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.

           5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
 20021121:             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
         A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         corrected.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic

         to the assembler.          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
              accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be

         markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES  
         WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.  20081219:
           config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for          (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
         system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those

         if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.  20081205:
           If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         If you have questions about this matter, please contact          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc

           following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
 20021010:  
         The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules

         before building a new kernel.          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
             $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
 20021001:  
         The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users  20080813:

         If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that  
         you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,          One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:

             $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
 20020917:  
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:  20080731:
             -   TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which          WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels

         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch  20080503:
           The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
 20020605:  
         smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.  20080521:
           For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to

         Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of  20071115:
         the build process).          The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port

           start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
         ntpd:*:15:          that has such links.
           This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside

         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If          will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this  
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating  20070209:
         point is broken.          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
           was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         To build:          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
           library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc          an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
         against the new libgcc.a)          the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
           continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
 20011128:          is the only threaded application in the base system.
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in  
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are  20061214:
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         to build a new kernel.          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
                   tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
 20011030:                  bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         before building libc.                  as the installation images in distrib/
           in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
 20011029:          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or  
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build  20061108:
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this          changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
         manual update log.          does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
           make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes  20061009:
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         by the new build system.          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
   
 20011028:  20060814:
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that          withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
         prevented this was corrected.          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
           few years should cope.
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall  
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work  20060703:
         for you.          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
 20011006:          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  20060627:
         understand the format.          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
           errors will result.
 20011004:  
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating  
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  
   
 20010915:  
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed  
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend  
         files that still reference this file.  
   
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected  
         directories.  
   
 20010803:  
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow  
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.  
   
 20010803:  
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like  
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,  
         (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}.
