1.127 ! christos 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.126 2004/08/15 16:02:59 lukem 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.

1.127 ! christos 19: 20041001:
! 20: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
! 21: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
! 22: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
! 23: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf are
! 24: amongst the victims).
! 25:
1.125 atatat 26: 20040715:
27: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
28: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
29: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
30: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
31: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
32: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
33:
34: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
35:
36: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
37: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
38: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
39: loopback interface.
40:
41: 20040715:
42: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
43: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
44: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
45:
1.124 jmc 46: 20040621:
47: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
48: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
49:
50: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 51: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 52:
53: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
54:
1.121 lukem 55: 20040516:
56: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
57: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
58: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
59: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
60:
1.126 lukem 61: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
62: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
63: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
64: manually move these files yourself.
65:
1.119 atatat 66: 20040426:
67: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
68: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
69: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
70: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
71: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
72: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
73: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
74: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
75: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
76: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 77: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
78: do the following:
1.119 atatat 79:
1.120 atatat 80: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
81: make USETOOLS=no includes
82: cd lib/libc
83: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
84: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 85: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
86:
1.122 itojun 87: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
88: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
89: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
90: make sure to follow the above steps.
91:
1.118 dbj 92: 20040425:
93: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
94: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
95: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
96: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
97: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
98: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
99: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
100: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
101: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
102: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
103:
1.115 christos 104: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 105: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 106: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
107: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
108: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
109: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 110: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
111: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 112:
1.114 jmc 113: 20040326:
114: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 115: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 116: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
117: to build it.
118:
119: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
120: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
121:
1.113 dan 122: 20040318:
123: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
124: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
125: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
126: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
127: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
128: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
129:
1.108 bjh21 130: 20040313:
131: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
132: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
133: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
134: for examples.
135:
1.106 bjh21 136: 20040125:
137: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
138: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
139: files.
1.105 bjh21 140:
1.102 dbj 141: 20040109:
142: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
143: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
144: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
145: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 146: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 147: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 148: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 149: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
150: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 151: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 152:
1.99 mrg 153: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 154: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 155: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
156: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 157:
158: 20031111:
159: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
160: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 161:
162: 20031008:
163: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
164: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
165: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 166:
1.109 dbj 167: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 168: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
169: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
170: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 171: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 172: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
173: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
174: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 175:
1.96 christos 176: 20030906:
177: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
178: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
179: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 180:
181: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 182: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 183: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 184: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 185:
186: 20030703:
187: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
188: build the included texinfo files, do:
189:
190: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
191: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 192:
193: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 194: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 195: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 196: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
197: make MKMAN=no dependall install
198: (untested).
1.89 christos 199:
200: 20030516:
201: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
202: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
203: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
204: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
205: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
206: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
207: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
208: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 209:
210: 20030402:
211: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
212: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
213: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
214: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
215: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
216: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 217:
218: 20030324:
219: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
220: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
221: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
222: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
223: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
224: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
225: configuration file is also strongly advised.
226:
227: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
228: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
229: information.
1.82 wiz 230:
231: 20030117:
232: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
233: build the included texinfo files, do:
234:
235: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
236: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 237:
238: 20021223:
239: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
240: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
241: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
242: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
243: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 244:
245: 20021219:
246: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
247: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
248:
1.93 salo 249: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 250:
251: 20021219:
252: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
253: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
254: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
255:
256: The build system was modified to take advantage of
257: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 258: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 259: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 260:
261: 20021130:
262: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
263: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
264: and rebuild libc:
265: make includes
266: make do-lib-libc
267: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
268: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 269:
270: 20021126:
271: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
272: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
273: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
274: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 275:
276: 20021121:
277: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
278: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
279: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
280: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
281: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
282: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
283: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
284: do this.
285:
286: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
287: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
288: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 289:
290: 20021121:
291: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
292: corrected.
293:
294: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
295: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
296: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 297: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 298: to the assembler.
299:
300: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
301: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
302: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
303:
304: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
305: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
306: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
307: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
308: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
309:
310: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
311: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 312: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 313: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 314: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
315: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
316:
317: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 318: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 319:
320: 20021011:
321: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
322: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 323: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 324:
325: 20021010:
326: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
327: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
328: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
329: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 330:
331: 20021009:
332: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
333: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 334: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 335: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 336:
337: 20021003:
338: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
339: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
340: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 341:
342: 20021001:
343: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
344: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
345: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
346: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
347: options MULTIPROCESSOR
348: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 349:
350: 20020922:
351: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
352: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
353: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
354: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
355: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
356: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
357: with:
358: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 359:
360: 20020917:
361: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
362: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
363: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
364: x86_64).
365: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 366: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 367: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
368: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 369:
370: 20020906:
371: gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
1.79 wiz 372: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 373:
374: 20020822:
375: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
376: are now provided in /rescue.
377:
378: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
379: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
380: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
381:
382: 20020820:
383: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
384: is statically linked.
385:
386: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
1.84 grant 387:
388: 20020605:
389: smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
390:
391: Add the following into /etc/group:
392:
393: smmsp:*:17:
394:
395: and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
396:

1.61 itojun 398:
399: 20020515:
400: sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
401: will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
402:
403: Add the following into /etc/group:
404:
405: sshd:*:16:

408:
1.63 enami 409: sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin
1.61 itojun 410:
1.79 wiz 411: Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
412: the build process).
1.60 sommerfe 413:
414: 20020426:
415: NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
1.59 lukem 416:
417: 20020426:
418: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
419: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
420: the problems identified.
421: This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
422: configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
1.56 lukem 423:
424: 20020320:
1.79 wiz 425: <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
426: Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
1.56 lukem 427:
1.55 itojun 428: 20020319:
1.79 wiz 429: Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
430: on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
1.55 itojun 431: newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
432:
1.54 itojun 433: 20020311:
434: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
435: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
436: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
437:
438: 20020223:
1.53 matt 439: Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
440: so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
441: the VAX assembly files.

456: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
457: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
458: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
459:
460: To fix:
461:
462: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
463: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
464:
465: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 466: gnu/lib/libstdc++
1.49 jmc 467:

1.47 jmc 470: 20011201:
471: In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
472: you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
1.52 wiz 473: point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
1.47 jmc 474: point is broken.
475:
476: To build:
477:
478: remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
479: remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
1.48 jmc 480: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 481:
1.46 thorpej 482: 20011128:
483: Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
484: the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
485: required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
486: to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
487: to build a new kernel.

1.44 tv 493: 20011029:
494: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
495: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
496: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
497: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
498: manual update log.
499:
500: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
501: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
502: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
503: by the new build system.
1.42 perry 504:

507: symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
508: prevented this was corrected.
509:
510: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
511: Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
512: for you.

516: absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
517: understand the format.

527: a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
528: files that still reference this file.
529:
530: Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
531: directories.
1.31 enami 532:
533: 20010803:
534: grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
535: requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
536: building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
537: the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
1.30 enami 538:
1.64 sommerfe 539: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 540: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 541: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 542: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
543: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
544: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
545: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
546: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

558: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.25 thorpej 559:
560: 20010718:
561: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
562: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
563: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
564: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
565:
566: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
567: if you have a stale dependency.
568:
569: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
570: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 571:
572: 20010628:
573: A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
574: in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
575: bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
1.21 jmc 576:

605: particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
606: needs to be installed before make build.
1.10 christos 607:
608: 20010114:
609: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
610: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 611: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 612: with make build.
1.9 sommerfe 613:

616: afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
1.8 sommerfe 617:
618: 20001230:
619: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
620: If you get make errors,
621: (cd share/mk; make install)
622: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 623:
624: 20001019:
1.7 ad 625: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 626: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
627: directory.
1.1 abs 628:
1.4 itojun 629: 20000929:
630: The following make directives are obsoleted.
631: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
632: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 633: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 634: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 635:
636:
637: Hints for a more successful build:
638: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 639: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
640: This will will automatically build the tools in the
641: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
642: new build products from interfering with the running
643: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
644: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 645: Build a new kernel first:
646: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
647: expected by the new userland will be present. This
648: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 649: Use object directories:
650: This helps to keep stale object
651: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
652: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
653: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
654: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 655: To use object directories with build.sh:
656: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
657: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 658: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 659: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
660: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 661: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 662: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
663: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 664: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 665: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
666: from interfering with the new build.
667: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
668: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
669: environment variable before running make build. It should be
670: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
671: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
672: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
673: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
674: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 675: Build often:
676: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
677: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 678: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
679: this problem.
1.1 abs 680:
681: What to do if things don't work:
682: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
683: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
684: should be done.
685: 1) make includes
686: This should be done automatically by make build.
687: 2) cd share/mk && make install
688: Again, automatically done by make build.
689:
690: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
691: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
692: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
693: something like the following:
694: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
695: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
696: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
697: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
698: make cleandir
699: rm ...all obj directories...
700: make cleandir # yes, again
701: make obj
702: make depend && make
703:
704: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
705: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
706: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 707: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
708: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
709: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
