1.133 ! christos 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.132 2005/01/04 19:14:00 jmmv 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: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.133 ! christos 18: 20041229:
! 19: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
! 20: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
! 21: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
! 22: the build.
! 23:
1.130 christos 24: 20041201:
25: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
26: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 27: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 28:
1.129 jmc 29: 20041006:
30:
31: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
32: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
33: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
34: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
35:
36: ident /bin/sh | grep var
37:
38: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
39: before attempting a build.
40:
1.127 christos 41: 20041001:
42: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
43: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
44: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 45: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
46: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 47:
1.125 atatat 48: 20040715:
49: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
50: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
51: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
52: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
53: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
54: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
55:
56: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
57:
58: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
59: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
60: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
61: loopback interface.
62:
63: 20040715:
64: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
65: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
66: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
67:
1.124 jmc 68: 20040621:
69: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
70: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
71:
72: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 73: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 74:
75: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
76:
1.121 lukem 77: 20040516:
78: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
79: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
80: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
81: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
82:
1.126 lukem 83: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
84: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
85: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
86: manually move these files yourself.
87:
1.119 atatat 88: 20040426:
89: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
90: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
91: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
92: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
93: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
94: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
95: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
96: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
97: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
98: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 99: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
100: do the following:
1.119 atatat 101:
1.120 atatat 102: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
103: make USETOOLS=no includes
104: cd lib/libc
105: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
106: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 107: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
108:
1.122 itojun 109: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
110: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
111: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
112: make sure to follow the above steps.
113:
1.118 dbj 114: 20040425:
115: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
116: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
117: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
118: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
119: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
120: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
121: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
122: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
123: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
124: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
125:
1.115 christos 126: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 127: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 128: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
129: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
130: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
131: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 132: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
133: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 134:
1.114 jmc 135: 20040326:
136: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 137: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 138: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
139: to build it.
140:
141: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
142: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
143:
1.113 dan 144: 20040318:
145: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
146: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
147: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
148: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
149: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
150: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
151:
1.108 bjh21 152: 20040313:
153: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
154: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
155: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
156: for examples.
157:
1.106 bjh21 158: 20040125:
159: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
160: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
161: files.
1.105 bjh21 162:
1.102 dbj 163: 20040109:
164: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
165: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
166: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
167: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 168: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 169: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 170: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 171: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
172: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 173: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 174:
1.99 mrg 175: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 176: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 177: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
178: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 179:
180: 20031111:
181: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
182: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 183:
184: 20031008:
185: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
186: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
187: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 188:
1.109 dbj 189: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 190: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
191: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
192: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 193: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 194: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
195: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
196: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 197:
1.96 christos 198: 20030906:
199: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
200: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
201: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 202:
203: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 204: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 205: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 206: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 207:
208: 20030703:
209: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
210: build the included texinfo files, do:
211:
212: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
213: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 214:
215: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 216: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 217: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 218: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
219: make MKMAN=no dependall install
220: (untested).
1.89 christos 221:
222: 20030516:
223: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
224: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
225: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
226: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
227: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
228: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
229: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
230: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 231:
232: 20030402:
233: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
234: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
235: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
236: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
237: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
238: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 239:
240: 20030324:
241: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
242: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
243: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
244: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
245: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
246: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
247: configuration file is also strongly advised.
248:
249: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
250: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
251: information.
1.82 wiz 252:
253: 20030117:
254: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
255: build the included texinfo files, do:
256:
257: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
258: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 259:
260: 20021223:
261: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
262: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
263: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
264: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
265: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 266:
267: 20021219:
268: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
269: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
270:
1.93 salo 271: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 272:
273: 20021219:
274: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
275: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
276: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
277:
278: The build system was modified to take advantage of
279: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 280: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 281: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 282:
283: 20021130:
284: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
285: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
286: and rebuild libc:
287: make includes
288: make do-lib-libc
289: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
290: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 291:
292: 20021126:
293: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
294: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
295: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
296: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 297:
298: 20021121:
299: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
300: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
301: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
302: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
303: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
304: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
305: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
306: do this.
307:
308: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
309: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
310: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 311:
312: 20021121:
313: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
314: corrected.
315:
316: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
317: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
318: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 319: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 320: to the assembler.
321:
322: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
323: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
324: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
325:
326: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
327: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
328: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
329: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
330: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
331:
332: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
333: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 334: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 335: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 336: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
337: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
338:
339: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 340: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 341:
342: 20021011:
343: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
344: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 345: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 346:
347: 20021010:
348: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
349: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
350: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
351: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 352:
353: 20021009:
354: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
355: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 356: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 357: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 358:
359: 20021003:
360: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
361: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
362: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 363:
364: 20021001:
365: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
366: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
367: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
368: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
369: options MULTIPROCESSOR
370: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 371:
372: 20020922:
373: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
374: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
375: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
376: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
377: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
378: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
379: with:
380: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 381:
382: 20020917:
383: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
384: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
385: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
386: x86_64).
387: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 388: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 389: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
390: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 391:
392: 20020906:
393: gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
1.79 wiz 394: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 395:
396: 20020822:
397: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
398: are now provided in /rescue.
399:
400: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
401: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
402: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
403:
404: 20020820:
405: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
406: is statically linked.
407:
408: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
1.84 grant 409:
410: 20020605:
411: smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
412:
413: Add the following into /etc/group:
414:
415: smmsp:*:17:

1.61 itojun 420:
421: 20020515:
422: sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
423: will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
424:
425: Add the following into /etc/group:
426:

1.61 itojun 432:
1.79 wiz 433: Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
434: the build process).
1.60 sommerfe 435:
436: 20020426:
437: NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
1.59 lukem 438:
439: 20020426:
440: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
441: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of

1.54 itojun 455: 20020311:
456: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
457: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
458: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).

478: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
479: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
480: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
481:
482: To fix:
483:
484: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
485: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
486:
487: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 488: gnu/lib/libstdc++

494: you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
1.52 wiz 495: point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
1.47 jmc 496: point is broken.
497:
498: To build:
499:
500: remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
501: remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
1.48 jmc 502: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 503:
1.46 thorpej 504: 20011128:
505: Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
506: the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
507: required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
508: to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting

516: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
517: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
518: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
519: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
520: manual update log.
521:
522: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
523: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
524: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
525: by the new build system.
1.42 perry 526:

529: symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
530: prevented this was corrected.
531:
532: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
533: Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
534: for you.

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

549: a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
550: files that still reference this file.
551:
552: Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
553: directories.
1.31 enami 554:
555: 20010803:
556: grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
557: requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before

559: the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
1.30 enami 560:
1.64 sommerfe 561: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 562: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 563: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 564: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
565: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
566: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
567: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
568: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
1.29 bjh21 569:

580: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.25 thorpej 581:
582: 20010718:
583: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
584: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
585: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
586: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
587:
588: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
589: if you have a stale dependency.
590:
591: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
592: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 593:
594: 20010628:
595: A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
596: in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
597: bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
1.21 jmc 598:

1.52 wiz 616: get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
1.111 simonb 617: to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
1.18 jmc 618:
1.111 simonb 619: Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
1.19 cgd 620: usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
621: CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
1.20 jmc 622: usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
1.111 simonb 623: building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
1.15 christos 624:
625: 20010204:
626: prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
627: particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
628: needs to be installed before make build.
1.10 christos 629:
630: 20010114:
631: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
632: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 633: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 634: with make build.
1.9 sommerfe 635:
636: 20010101:
637: bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
638: afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
1.8 sommerfe 639:
640: 20001230:
641: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
642: If you get make errors,
643: (cd share/mk; make install)
644: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 645:
646: 20001019:
1.7 ad 647: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 648: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
649: directory.
1.1 abs 650:
1.4 itojun 651: 20000929:
652: The following make directives are obsoleted.
653: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
654: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 655: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 656: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 657:
658:
659: Hints for a more successful build:
660: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 661: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 662: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 663: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
664: new build products from interfering with the running
665: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
666: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 667: Build a new kernel first:
668: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
669: expected by the new userland will be present. This
670: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 671: Use object directories:
672: This helps to keep stale object
673: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
674: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
675: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
676: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 677: To use object directories with build.sh:
678: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
679: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 680: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 681: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
682: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 683: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 684: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
685: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 686: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 687: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
688: from interfering with the new build.
689: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
690: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
691: environment variable before running make build. It should be
692: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
693: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
694: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
695: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
696: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 697: Build often:
698: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
699: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 700: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
701: this problem.
1.1 abs 702:
703: What to do if things don't work:
704: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
705: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
706: should be done.
707: 1) make includes
708: This should be done automatically by make build.
709: 2) cd share/mk && make install
710: Again, automatically done by make build.
711:
712: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
713: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
714: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
715: something like the following:
716: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
717: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
718: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
719: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
720: make cleandir
721: rm ...all obj directories...
722: make cleandir # yes, again
723: make obj
724: make depend && make
725:
726: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
727: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
728: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 729: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
730: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
731: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
