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.

1.141   ! augustss   20:        genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
        !            21:        tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139     christos   22:        you can build a kernel again.

                     30:        of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an

                     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.

                     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.

                     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).

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.

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]*

                     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).

1.125     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.

                    102:        kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version
                    103:        of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.

                    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:

                    117:        Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
                    118:        "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.

                    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

                    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

                    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,
