 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.

 20031111:  20090202:
         A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
                 cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
           ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
 20031008:  
         /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.  20090110:
         It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
              This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
 20030906:             conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
         With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
         code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running             before installing.
         kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.          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
 20030801:             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
         rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         /usr/lib/libdes* before building.             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
           4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
 20030703:             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
         Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages

           5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
              lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
 20030630:             for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
         Groff was update to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
                 cd share/mk && make install             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
                 cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff             newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
                 make MKMAN=no dependall install             files manually.
         (untested).          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
              accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be

         mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already  
         been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks  20081219:
         export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -

           kernels.
 20030402:  
         The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6  20081205:
         fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         with the first alternate, because they compare too many          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
         fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade          set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
         your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.  
         None of this signals actual filesystem damage.  20081122:
           On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including

         The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf  
         is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module

         information.          file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
   
 20030117:  20080827:
         Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         build the included texinfo files, do:          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
           which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo          Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
         make MKINFO=no dependall install          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
             $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
 20021223:  
         The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading  20080813:
         "${DESTDIR}" from path names.          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
         This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.          about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and  
         update tools/mtree, before running make build.  20080731:
           WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
 20021219:          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
         CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details          and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
         if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.          don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
           especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html          also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
           can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
 20021219:  
         install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an  20080721:
         alternate location to look up users & groups (instead          Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
         of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).          isn't defined.
   
         The build system was modified to take advantage of  20080531:
         this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you          The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
         use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and          from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
         reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.          utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
           won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
 20021130:  
         fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.            $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
         If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
         and rebuild libc:            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
                 make includes  
                 make do-lib-libc          leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
         If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"  
         before rebuilding the tools.  20080503:
           The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
 20021126:  
         The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,  20080521:

         /usr/include.          ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
           problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
 20021121:          If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
         The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o          remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
         (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were  
         split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.  20080303:
         This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the          Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.

         their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.  20071209:
           The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you

         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   20060703:
         smmsp:*:17:          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed

         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin  
   
         Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of  
         the build process).  
   
 20020426:  
         NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.  
   
 20020426:  
         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for  
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of  
         the problems identified.  
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's  
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).  
   
 20020320:  
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.  
         Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.  
   
 20020319:  
         Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len  
         on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold  
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.  
   
 20020311:  
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware  
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs  
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).  
   
 20020223:  
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  
         the VAX assembly files.  
   
 20020118:  
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         ntpd:*:15:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin  
   
 20011207:  
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting  
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native  
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.  
   
         To fix:  
   
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)  
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)  
   
         gnu/lib/libgcc  
         gnu/lib/libstdc++  
   
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.  
   
 20011201:  
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If  
         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  
         point is broken.  
   
         To build:  
   
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc  
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links  
         against the new libgcc.a)  
   
 20011128:  
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in  
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are  
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure  
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  
         to build a new kernel.  
   
 20011030:  
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)  
         before building libc.  
   
 20011029:  
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or  
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build  
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN  
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this  
         manual update log.  
   
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes  
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of  
         by the new build system.  
   
 20011028:  
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle  
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that  
         prevented this was corrected.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall  
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work  
         for you.  
   
 20011006:  
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  
         understand the format.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree  
   
 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}.
