                      3: This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build
                      4: process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.

                     17:        added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
                     18:        when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current

                     20:        superblock mismatches.  To work around, you can use
1.104     dbj        21:        fsck_ffs -b 32 -c 4 to restore an alternate superblock

                     40:        code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running

                     63:        Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
                     64:        were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
                     65:        mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
                     66:        been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
                     67:        export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
                     68:        make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
                     69:        file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
                     70:        a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.

                     72: 20030402:
                     73:        The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6
                     74:        fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
                     75:        with the first alternate, because they compare too many
                     76:        fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade
                     77:        your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
                     78:        None of this signals actual filesystem damage.

                    102:        "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
                    103:        This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
                    104:        For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and

                    117:

                    119:        this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83      kei       120:        use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and

                    140:        (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were

                    142:        This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
                    143:        new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding
                    144:        libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new

                    154:        corrected.
                    155:
                    156:        NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
                    157:        default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking
                    158:        objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79      wiz       159:        compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75      thorpej   160:        to the assembler.
                    161:
                    162:        Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
                    163:        old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
                    164:        incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
                    165:
                    166:        The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
                    167:        a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
                    168:        against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
                    169:        markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES

                    171:
                    172:        The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
                    173:        the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for
1.79      wiz       174:        system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93      salo      175:        generally available on releng.NetBSD.org.  Any packages you
1.75      thorpej   176:        have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
                    177:        if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
