1.126 ! lukem 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.125 2004/07/22 03:55:33 atatat Exp $
1.1 abs 2:
1.123 jmc 3: This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4: changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5: what to do if something doesn't work.
1.1 abs 6:
1.123 jmc 7: For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8: using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9:
10: Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11: build.sh existed. Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12: working around specific problems with build.sh.

16: Recent changes:
17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.99 mrg 18:
1.125 atatat 19: 20040715:
20: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
21: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
22: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
23: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
24: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
25: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
26:
27: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
28:
29: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
30: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
31: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
32: loopback interface.
33:
34: 20040715:
35: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
36: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
37: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
38:
1.124 jmc 39: 20040621:
40: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
41: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
42:
43: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 44: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 45:
46: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
47:
1.121 lukem 48: 20040516:
49: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
50: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
51: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
52: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
53:
1.126 ! lukem 54: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
! 55: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
! 56: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
! 57: manually move these files yourself.
! 58:
1.119 atatat 59: 20040426:
60: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
61: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
62: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
63: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
64: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
65: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
66: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
67: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
68: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
69: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 70: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
71: do the following:
1.119 atatat 72:
1.120 atatat 73: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
74: make USETOOLS=no includes
75: cd lib/libc
76: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
77: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 78: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
79:
1.122 itojun 80: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
81: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
82: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
83: make sure to follow the above steps.
84:
1.118 dbj 85: 20040425:
86: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
87: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
88: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
89: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
90: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
91: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
92: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
93: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
94: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
95: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
96:
1.115 christos 97: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 98: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 99: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
100: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
101: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
102: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 103: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
104: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 105:
1.114 jmc 106: 20040326:
107: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 108: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 109: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
110: to build it.
111:
112: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
113: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
114:
1.113 dan 115: 20040318:
116: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
117: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
118: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
119: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
120: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
121: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
122:
1.108 bjh21 123: 20040313:
124: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
125: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
126: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
127: for examples.
128:
1.106 bjh21 129: 20040125:
130: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
131: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
132: files.
1.105 bjh21 133:
1.102 dbj 134: 20040109:
135: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
136: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
137: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
138: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 139: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 140: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 141: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 142: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
143: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 144: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 145:
1.99 mrg 146: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 147: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 148: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
149: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 150:
151: 20031111:
152: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
153: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 154:
155: 20031008:
156: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
157: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
158: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 159:
1.109 dbj 160: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 161: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
162: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
163: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 164: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 165: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
166: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
167: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 168:
1.96 christos 169: 20030906:
170: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
171: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
172: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 173:
174: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 175: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 176: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 177: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 178:
179: 20030703:
180: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
181: build the included texinfo files, do:
182:
183: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
184: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 185:
186: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 187: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 188: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 189: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
190: make MKMAN=no dependall install
191: (untested).
1.89 christos 192:
193: 20030516:
194: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
195: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
196: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
197: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
198: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
199: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
200: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
201: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 202:
203: 20030402:
204: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
205: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
206: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
207: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
208: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
209: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 210:
211: 20030324:
212: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
213: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
214: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
215: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
216: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
217: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
218: configuration file is also strongly advised.
219:
220: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
221: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
222: information.
1.82 wiz 223:
224: 20030117:
225: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
226: build the included texinfo files, do:
227:
228: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
229: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 230:
231: 20021223:
232: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
233: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
234: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
235: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
236: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 237:
238: 20021219:
239: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
240: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
241:
1.93 salo 242: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 243:
244: 20021219:
245: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
246: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
247: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
248:
249: The build system was modified to take advantage of
250: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 251: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 252: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 253:
254: 20021130:
255: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
256: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
257: and rebuild libc:
258: make includes
259: make do-lib-libc
260: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
261: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 262:
263: 20021126:
264: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
265: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
266: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
267: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 268:
269: 20021121:
270: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
271: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
272: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
273: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
274: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
275: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
276: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
277: do this.
278:
279: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
280: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
281: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 282:
283: 20021121:
284: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
285: corrected.
286:
287: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
288: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
289: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 290: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 291: to the assembler.
292:
293: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
294: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
295: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
296:
297: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
298: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
299: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
300: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
301: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
302:
303: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
304: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 305: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 306: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 307: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
308: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
309:
310: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 311: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 312:
313: 20021011:
314: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
315: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 316: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 317:
318: 20021010:
319: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
320: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
321: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
322: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 323:
324: 20021009:
325: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
326: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 327: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 328: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 329:
330: 20021003:
331: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
332: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
333: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 334:
335: 20021001:
336: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
337: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
338: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
339: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
340: options MULTIPROCESSOR
341: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 342:
343: 20020922:
344: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
345: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
346: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
347: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
348: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
349: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
350: with:
351: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 352:
353: 20020917:
354: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
355: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
356: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
357: x86_64).
358: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 359: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 360: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
361: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 362:
363: 20020906:
364: gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
1.79 wiz 365: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 366:
367: 20020822:
368: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
369: are now provided in /rescue.
370:
371: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
372: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
373: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
374:
375: 20020820:
376: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
377: is statically linked.
378:
379: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
1.84 grant 380:
381: 20020605:
382: smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
383:
384: Add the following into /etc/group:

1.61 itojun 391:
392: 20020515:
393: sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
394: will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
395:
396: Add the following into /etc/group:

1.61 itojun 403:
1.79 wiz 404: Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
405: the build process).
1.60 sommerfe 406:
407: 20020426:
408: NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
1.59 lukem 409:
410: 20020426:
411: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
412: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
413: the problems identified.
414: This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
415: configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
1.56 lukem 416:
417: 20020320:
1.79 wiz 418: <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
419: Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
1.56 lukem 420:
1.55 itojun 421: 20020319:
1.79 wiz 422: Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
423: on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
1.55 itojun 424: newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
425:
1.54 itojun 426: 20020311:
427: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
428: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
429: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
430:
431: 20020223:
1.53 matt 432: Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
433: so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
434: the VAX assembly files.
435:
1.50 itojun 436: 20020118:
437: ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
438: will break as mtree aborts early.
439:
440: Add the following into /etc/group:
441:
442: ntpd:*:15:

449: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
450: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
451: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
452:
453: To fix:
454:
455: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
456: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
457:
458: gnu/lib/libgcc

465: you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
1.52 wiz 466: point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
1.47 jmc 467: point is broken.
468:
469: To build:
470:
471: remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
472: remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links

487: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
488: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
489: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
490: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
491: manual update log.
492:
493: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
494: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
495: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
496: by the new build system.

1.30 enami 531:
1.64 sommerfe 532: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 533: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 534: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 535: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
536: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
537: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
538: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
539: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

554: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
555: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
556: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
557: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
558:
559: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
560: if you have a stale dependency.
561:
562: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
563: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 564:
565: 20010628:

1.7 ad 618: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the

1.16 wiz 626: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 627: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 628:
629:
630: Hints for a more successful build:
631: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 632: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
633: This will will automatically build the tools in the
634: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
635: new build products from interfering with the running
636: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
637: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 638: Build a new kernel first:
639: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
640: expected by the new userland will be present. This
641: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 642: Use object directories:
643: This helps to keep stale object
644: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
645: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
646: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
647: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 648: To use object directories with build.sh:
649: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
650: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 651: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 652: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
653: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 654: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 655: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
656: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 657: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 658: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
659: from interfering with the new build.
660: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
661: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
662: environment variable before running make build. It should be
663: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
664: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
665: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
666: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
667: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 668: Build often:
669: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
670: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 671: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
672: this problem.
1.1 abs 673:
674: What to do if things don't work:
675: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
676: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
677: should be done.
678: 1) make includes
679: This should be done automatically by make build.
680: 2) cd share/mk && make install
681: Again, automatically done by make build.
682:
683: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
684: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
685: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
686: something like the following:
687: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
688: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
689: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
690: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
691: make cleandir
692: rm ...all obj directories...
693: make cleandir # yes, again
694: make obj
695: make depend && make
696:
697: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
698: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
699: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 700: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
701: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
702: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
