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: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.136 cube 18: 20050325:
19: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
20: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
21: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 ! cube 22: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
! 23: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
! 24: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
! 25: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 26:
1.135 jmc 27: 20050211:
28: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
29: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
30: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
31: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
32: make a build continue.
33:
1.134 christos 34: 20050109:
35: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
36: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
37: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
38: a password).
39:
1.133 christos 40: 20041229:
41: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
42: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
43: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
44: the build.
45:
1.130 christos 46: 20041201:
47: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
48: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 49: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 50:
1.129 jmc 51: 20041006:
52:
53: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
54: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
55: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
56: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
57:
58: ident /bin/sh | grep var
59:
60: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
61: before attempting a build.
62:
1.127 christos 63: 20041001:
64: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
65: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
66: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 67: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
68: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 69:
1.125 atatat 70: 20040715:
71: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
72: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
73: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
74: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
75: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
76: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
77:
78: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
79:
80: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
81: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
82: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
83: loopback interface.
84:
85: 20040715:
86: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
87: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
88: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
89:
1.124 jmc 90: 20040621:
91: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
92: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
93:
94: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 95: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 96:
97: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
98:
1.121 lukem 99: 20040516:
100: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
101: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
102: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
103: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
104:
1.126 lukem 105: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
106: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
107: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
108: manually move these files yourself.
109:
1.119 atatat 110: 20040426:
111: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
112: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
113: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
114: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
115: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
116: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
117: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
118: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
119: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
120: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 121: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
122: do the following:
1.119 atatat 123:
1.120 atatat 124: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
125: make USETOOLS=no includes
126: cd lib/libc
127: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
128: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 129: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
130:
1.122 itojun 131: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
132: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
133: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
134: make sure to follow the above steps.
135:
1.118 dbj 136: 20040425:
137: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
138: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
139: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
140: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
141: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
142: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
143: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
144: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
145: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
146: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
147:
1.115 christos 148: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 149: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 150: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
151: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
152: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
153: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 154: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
155: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 156:
1.114 jmc 157: 20040326:
158: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 159: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 160: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
161: to build it.
162:
163: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
164: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
165:
1.113 dan 166: 20040318:
167: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
168: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
169: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
170: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
171: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
172: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
173:
1.108 bjh21 174: 20040313:
175: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
176: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
177: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
178: for examples.
179:
1.106 bjh21 180: 20040125:
181: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
182: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
183: files.
1.105 bjh21 184:
1.102 dbj 185: 20040109:
186: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
187: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
188: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
189: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 190: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 191: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 192: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 193: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
194: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 195: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 196:
1.99 mrg 197: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 198: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 199: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
200: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 201:
202: 20031111:
203: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
204: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 205:
206: 20031008:
207: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
208: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
209: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 210:
1.109 dbj 211: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 212: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
213: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
214: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 215: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 216: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
217: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
218: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 219:
1.96 christos 220: 20030906:
221: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
222: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
223: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 224:
225: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 226: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 227: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 228: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 229:
230: 20030703:
231: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
232: build the included texinfo files, do:
233:
234: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
235: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 236:
237: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 238: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 239: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 240: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
241: make MKMAN=no dependall install
242: (untested).
1.89 christos 243:
244: 20030516:
245: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
246: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
247: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
248: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
249: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
250: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
251: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
252: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 253:
254: 20030402:
255: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
256: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
257: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
258: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
259: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
260: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 261:
262: 20030324:
263: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
264: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
265: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
266: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
267: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
268: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
269: configuration file is also strongly advised.
270:
271: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
272: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
273: information.
1.82 wiz 274:
275: 20030117:
276: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
277: build the included texinfo files, do:
278:
279: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
280: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 281:
282: 20021223:
283: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
284: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
285: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
286: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
287: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 288:
289: 20021219:
290: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
291: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
292:
1.93 salo 293: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 294:
295: 20021219:
296: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
297: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
298: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
299:
300: The build system was modified to take advantage of
301: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 302: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 303: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 304:
305: 20021130:
306: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
307: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
308: and rebuild libc:
309: make includes
310: make do-lib-libc
311: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
312: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 313:
314: 20021126:
315: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
316: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
317: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
318: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 319:
320: 20021121:
321: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
322: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
323: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
324: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
325: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
326: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
327: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
328: do this.
329:
330: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
331: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
332: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 333:
334: 20021121:
335: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
336: corrected.
337:
338: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
339: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
340: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 341: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 342: to the assembler.
343:
344: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
345: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
346: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
347:
348: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
349: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
350: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
351: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
352: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
353:
354: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
355: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 356: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 357: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 358: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
359: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
360:
361: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 362: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 363:
364: 20021011:
365: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
366: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 367: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 368:
369: 20021010:
370: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
371: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
372: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
373: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 374:
375: 20021009:
376: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
377: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 378: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 379: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 380:
381: 20021003:
382: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
383: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
384: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 385:
386: 20021001:
387: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
388: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
389: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
390: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
391: options MULTIPROCESSOR
392: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 393:
394: 20020922:
395: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
396: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
397: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
398: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
399: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
400: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
401: with:
402: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 403:
404: 20020917:
405: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
406: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
407: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
408: x86_64).
409: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 410: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 411: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
412: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 413:
414: 20020906:
415: gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
1.79 wiz 416: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 417:
418: 20020822:
419: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
420: are now provided in /rescue.
421:
422: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
423: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
424: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
425:
426: 20020820:
427: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
428: is statically linked.

430: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
1.84 grant 431:
432: 20020605:

463: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
464: the problems identified.

500: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
501: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
502: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
503:
504: To fix:
505:
506: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
507: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
508:

538: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
539: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
540: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN

543:
544: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the

1.30 enami 582:
1.64 sommerfe 583: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 584: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 585: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 586: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
587: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
588: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
589: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
590: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

605: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
606: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
607: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
608: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
609:
610: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
611: if you have a stale dependency.
612:
613: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
614: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 615:
616: 20010628:

650: needs to be installed before make build.
1.10 christos 651:
652: 20010114:
653: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
654: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 655: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 656: with make build.
1.9 sommerfe 657:

660: afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
1.8 sommerfe 661:
662: 20001230:
663: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
664: If you get make errors,
665: (cd share/mk; make install)
666: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 667:
668: 20001019:
1.7 ad 669: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 670: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
671: directory.
1.1 abs 672:
1.4 itojun 673: 20000929:
674: The following make directives are obsoleted.
675: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
676: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 677: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 678: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 679:
680:
681: Hints for a more successful build:
682: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 683: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 684: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 685: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
686: new build products from interfering with the running
687: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
688: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 689: Build a new kernel first:
690: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
691: expected by the new userland will be present. This
692: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 693: Use object directories:
694: This helps to keep stale object
695: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
696: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
697: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
698: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 699: To use object directories with build.sh:
700: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
701: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 702: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 703: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
704: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 705: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 706: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
707: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 708: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 709: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
710: from interfering with the new build.
711: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
712: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
713: environment variable before running make build. It should be
714: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
715: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
716: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
717: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
718: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 719: Build often:
720: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
721: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 722: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
723: this problem.
1.1 abs 724:
725: What to do if things don't work:
726: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
727: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
728: should be done.
729: 1) make includes
730: This should be done automatically by make build.
731: 2) cd share/mk && make install
732: Again, automatically done by make build.
733:
734: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
735: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
736: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
737: something like the following:
738: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
739: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
740: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
741: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
742: make cleandir
743: rm ...all obj directories...
744: make cleandir # yes, again
745: make obj
746: make depend && make
747:
748: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
749: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
750: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 751: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
752: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
753: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
