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: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.139 christos 19: 20050531:
20: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(8). You need to either build
21: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/sbin before
22: you can build a kernel again.
23:
1.140 ! yamt 24: 20050520:
! 25: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
! 26: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
! 27:
1.138 lukem 28: 20050417:
29: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
30: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
31: upgrade.
32:
1.136 cube 33: 20050325:
34: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
35: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
36: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 37: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
38: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
39: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
40: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 41:
1.135 jmc 42: 20050211:
43: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
44: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
45: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
46: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
47: make a build continue.
48:
1.134 christos 49: 20050109:
50: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
51: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
52: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
53: a password).
54:
1.133 christos 55: 20041229:
56: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
57: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
58: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
59: the build.
60:
1.130 christos 61: 20041201:
62: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
63: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 64: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 65:
1.129 jmc 66: 20041006:
67:
68: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
69: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
70: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
71: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
72:
73: ident /bin/sh | grep var
74:
75: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
76: before attempting a build.
77:
1.127 christos 78: 20041001:
79: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
80: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
81: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 82: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
83: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 84:
1.125 atatat 85: 20040715:
86: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
87: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
88: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
89: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
90: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
91: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
92:
93: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
94:
95: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
96: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
97: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
98: loopback interface.
99:
100: 20040715:
101: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
102: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
103: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
104:
1.124 jmc 105: 20040621:
106: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
107: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
108:
109: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 110: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 111:
112: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
113:
1.121 lukem 114: 20040516:
115: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
116: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
117: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
118: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
119:
1.126 lukem 120: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
121: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
122: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
123: manually move these files yourself.
124:
1.119 atatat 125: 20040426:
126: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
127: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
128: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
129: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
130: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
131: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
132: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
133: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
134: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
135: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 136: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
137: do the following:
1.119 atatat 138:
1.120 atatat 139: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
140: make USETOOLS=no includes
141: cd lib/libc
142: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
143: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 144: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
145:
1.122 itojun 146: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
147: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
148: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
149: make sure to follow the above steps.
150:
1.118 dbj 151: 20040425:
152: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
153: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
154: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
155: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
156: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
157: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
158: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
159: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
160: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
161: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
162:
1.115 christos 163: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 164: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 165: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
166: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
167: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
168: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 169: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
170: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 171:
1.114 jmc 172: 20040326:
173: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 174: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 175: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
176: to build it.
177:
178: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
179: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
180:
1.113 dan 181: 20040318:
182: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
183: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
184: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
185: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
186: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
187: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
188:
1.108 bjh21 189: 20040313:
190: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
191: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
192: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
193: for examples.
194:
1.106 bjh21 195: 20040125:
196: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
197: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
198: files.
1.105 bjh21 199:
1.102 dbj 200: 20040109:
201: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
202: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
203: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
204: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 205: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 206: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 207: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 208: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
209: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 210: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 211:
1.99 mrg 212: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 213: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 214: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
215: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 216:
217: 20031111:
218: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
219: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 220:
221: 20031008:
222: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
223: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
224: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 225:
1.109 dbj 226: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 227: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
228: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
229: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 230: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 231: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
232: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
233: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 234:
1.96 christos 235: 20030906:
236: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
237: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
238: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 239:
240: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 241: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 242: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 243: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 244:
245: 20030703:
246: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
247: build the included texinfo files, do:
248:
249: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
250: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 251:
252: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 253: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 254: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 255: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
256: make MKMAN=no dependall install
257: (untested).
1.89 christos 258:
259: 20030516:
260: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
261: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
262: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
263: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
264: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
265: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
266: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
267: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 268:
269: 20030402:
270: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
271: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
272: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
273: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
274: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
275: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 276:
277: 20030324:
278: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
279: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
280: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
281: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
282: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
283: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
284: configuration file is also strongly advised.
285:
286: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
287: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
288: information.
1.82 wiz 289:
290: 20030117:
291: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
292: build the included texinfo files, do:
293:
294: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
295: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 296:
297: 20021223:
298: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
299: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
300: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
301: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
302: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 303:
304: 20021219:
305: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
306: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
307:
1.93 salo 308: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 309:
310: 20021219:
311: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
312: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
313: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
314:
315: The build system was modified to take advantage of
316: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 317: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 318: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 319:
320: 20021130:
321: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
322: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
323: and rebuild libc:
324: make includes
325: make do-lib-libc
326: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
327: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 328:
329: 20021126:
330: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
331: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
332: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
333: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 334:
335: 20021121:
336: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
337: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
338: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
339: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
340: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
341: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
342: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
343: do this.
344:
345: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
346: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
347: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 348:
349: 20021121:
350: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
351: corrected.
352:
353: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
354: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
355: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 356: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 357: to the assembler.
358:
359: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
360: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
361: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
362:
363: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
364: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
365: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
366: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
367: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
368:
369: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
370: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 371: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 372: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 373: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
374: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
375:
376: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 377: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 378:
379: 20021011:
380: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
381: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 382: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 383:
384: 20021010:
385: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
386: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
387: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
388: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 389:
390: 20021009:
391: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
392: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 393: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 394: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 395:
396: 20021003:
397: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
398: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
399: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 400:
401: 20021001:
402: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
403: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
404: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
405: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
406: options MULTIPROCESSOR
407: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 408:
409: 20020922:
410: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
411: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
412: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
413: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
414: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
415: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
416: with:
417: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 418:
419: 20020917:
420: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
421: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
422: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
423: x86_64).
424: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 425: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 426: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
427: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 428:
429: 20020906:
430: gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
1.79 wiz 431: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 432:
433: 20020822:

1.1 abs 694:
695:
696: Hints for a more successful build:
697: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 698: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 699: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 700: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
701: new build products from interfering with the running
702: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
703: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 704: Build a new kernel first:
705: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
706: expected by the new userland will be present. This
707: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 708: Use object directories:
709: This helps to keep stale object
710: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
711: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
712: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
713: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 714: To use object directories with build.sh:
715: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
716: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 717: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 718: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
719: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 720: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 721: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
722: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 723: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 724: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
725: from interfering with the new build.
726: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
727: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
728: environment variable before running make build. It should be
729: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
730: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
731: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
732: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
733: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 734: Build often:
735: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
736: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 737: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
738: this problem.
1.1 abs 739:
740: What to do if things don't work:
741: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
742: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
743: should be done.
744: 1) make includes
745: This should be done automatically by make build.
746: 2) cd share/mk && make install
747: Again, automatically done by make build.
748:
749: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
750: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
751: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
752: something like the following:
753: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
754: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
755: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
756: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
757: make cleandir
758: rm ...all obj directories...
759: make cleandir # yes, again
760: make obj
761: make depend && make
762:
763: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
764: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
765: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 766: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
767: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
768: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
