1.142 ! drochner 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.141 2005/07/01 09:55:37 augustss 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: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.142 ! drochner 19: 20050825:
! 20: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
! 21: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
! 22: modified to emit the new data structures.
! 23: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
! 24: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
! 25:
1.139 christos 26: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 27: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
28: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 29: you can build a kernel again.
30:
1.140 yamt 31: 20050520:
32: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
33: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
34:
1.138 lukem 35: 20050417:
36: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
37: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
38: upgrade.
39:
1.136 cube 40: 20050325:
41: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
42: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
43: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 44: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
45: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
46: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
47: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 48:
1.135 jmc 49: 20050211:
50: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
51: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
52: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
53: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
54: make a build continue.
55:
1.134 christos 56: 20050109:
57: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
58: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
59: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
60: a password).
61:
1.133 christos 62: 20041229:
63: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
64: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
65: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
66: the build.
67:
1.130 christos 68: 20041201:
69: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
70: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 71: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 72:
1.129 jmc 73: 20041006:
74:
75: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
76: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
77: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
78: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
79:
80: ident /bin/sh | grep var
81:
82: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
83: before attempting a build.
84:
1.127 christos 85: 20041001:
86: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
87: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
88: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 89: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
90: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 91:
1.125 atatat 92: 20040715:
93: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
94: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
95: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
96: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
97: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
98: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
99:
100: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
101:
102: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
103: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
104: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
105: loopback interface.
106:
107: 20040715:
108: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
109: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
110: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
111:
1.124 jmc 112: 20040621:
113: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
114: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
115:
116: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 117: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 118:
119: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
120:
1.121 lukem 121: 20040516:
122: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
123: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
124: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
125: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
126:
1.126 lukem 127: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
128: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
129: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
130: manually move these files yourself.
131:
1.119 atatat 132: 20040426:
133: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
134: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
135: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
136: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
137: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
138: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
139: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
140: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
141: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
142: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 143: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
144: do the following:
1.119 atatat 145:
1.120 atatat 146: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
147: make USETOOLS=no includes
148: cd lib/libc
149: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
150: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 151: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
152:
1.122 itojun 153: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
154: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
155: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
156: make sure to follow the above steps.
157:
1.118 dbj 158: 20040425:
159: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
160: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
161: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
162: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
163: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
164: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
165: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
166: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
167: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
168: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
169:
1.115 christos 170: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 171: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 172: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
173: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
174: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
175: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 176: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
177: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 178:
1.114 jmc 179: 20040326:
180: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 181: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 182: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
183: to build it.
184:
185: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
186: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
187:
1.113 dan 188: 20040318:
189: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
190: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
191: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
192: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
193: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
194: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
195:
1.108 bjh21 196: 20040313:
197: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
198: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
199: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
200: for examples.
201:
1.106 bjh21 202: 20040125:
203: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
204: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
205: files.
1.105 bjh21 206:
1.102 dbj 207: 20040109:
208: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
209: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
210: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
211: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 212: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 213: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 214: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 215: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
216: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 217: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 218:
1.99 mrg 219: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 220: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 221: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
222: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 223:
224: 20031111:
225: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
226: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 227:
228: 20031008:
229: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
230: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
231: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 232:
1.109 dbj 233: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 234: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
235: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
236: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 237: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 238: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
239: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
240: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 241:
1.96 christos 242: 20030906:
243: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
244: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
245: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 246:
247: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 248: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 249: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 250: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 251:
252: 20030703:
253: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
254: build the included texinfo files, do:
255:
256: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
257: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 258:
259: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 260: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 261: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 262: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
263: make MKMAN=no dependall install
264: (untested).
1.89 christos 265:
266: 20030516:
267: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
268: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
269: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
270: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
271: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
272: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
273: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
274: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 275:
276: 20030402:
277: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
278: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
279: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
280: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
281: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
282: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 283:
284: 20030324:
285: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
286: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
287: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
288: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
289: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
290: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
291: configuration file is also strongly advised.
292:
293: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
294: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
295: information.
1.82 wiz 296:
297: 20030117:
298: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
299: build the included texinfo files, do:
300:
301: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
302: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 303:
304: 20021223:
305: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
306: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
307: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
308: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
309: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 310:
311: 20021219:
312: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
313: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
314:
1.93 salo 315: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 316:
317: 20021219:
318: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
319: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
320: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
321:
322: The build system was modified to take advantage of
323: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 324: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 325: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 326:
327: 20021130:
328: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
329: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
330: and rebuild libc:
331: make includes
332: make do-lib-libc
333: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
334: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 335:
336: 20021126:
337: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
338: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
339: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
340: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 341:
342: 20021121:
343: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
344: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
345: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
346: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
347: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
348: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
349: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
350: do this.
351:
352: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
353: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
354: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 355:
356: 20021121:
357: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
358: corrected.
359:
360: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
361: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
362: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 363: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 364: to the assembler.
365:
366: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
367: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
368: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
369:
370: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
371: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
372: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
373: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
374: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
375:
376: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
377: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 378: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 379: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 380: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
381: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
382:
383: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 384: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 385:
386: 20021011:
387: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
388: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 389: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 390:
391: 20021010:
392: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
393: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
394: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
395: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 396:
397: 20021009:
398: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
399: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 400: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 401: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 402:
403: 20021003:
404: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
405: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
406: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 407:
408: 20021001:
409: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
410: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
411: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
412: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
413: options MULTIPROCESSOR
414: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 415:
416: 20020922:
417: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
418: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
419: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
420: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
421: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
422: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
423: with:
424: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 425:
426: 20020917:
427: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
428: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
429: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
430: x86_64).
431: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 432: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 433: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
434: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 435:

1.79 wiz 438: reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
1.65 lukem 439:

441: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
442: are now provided in /rescue.
443:
444: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
445: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
446: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
447:
448: 20020820:
449: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
450: is statically linked.

452: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
1.84 grant 453:
454: 20020605:

478: the build process).
1.60 sommerfe 479:
480: 20020426:
481: NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
1.59 lukem 482:
483: 20020426:
484: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
485: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
486: the problems identified.
487: This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
488: configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
1.56 lukem 489:
490: 20020320:
1.79 wiz 491: <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
492: Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
1.56 lukem 493:
1.55 itojun 494: 20020319:
1.79 wiz 495: Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
496: on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
1.55 itojun 497: newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
498:
1.54 itojun 499: 20020311:
500: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
501: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
502: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
503:
504: 20020223:
1.53 matt 505: Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
506: so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
507: the VAX assembly files.
508:
1.50 itojun 509: 20020118:
510: ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
511: will break as mtree aborts early.
512:
513: Add the following into /etc/group:
514:
515: ntpd:*:15:
516:
517: and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
518:

1.49 jmc 521: 20011207:
522: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
523: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
524: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
525:
526: To fix:
527:
528: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
529: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
530:
531: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 532: gnu/lib/libstdc++
1.49 jmc 533:
534: After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
535:
1.47 jmc 536: 20011201:
537: In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
538: you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
1.52 wiz 539: point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
1.47 jmc 540: point is broken.
541:
542: To build:
543:
544: remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
545: remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
1.48 jmc 546: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 547:
1.46 thorpej 548: 20011128:
549: Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
550: the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
551: required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
552: to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
553: to build a new kernel.
554:
1.45 yamt 555: 20011030:
556: libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
557: before building libc.
1.43 mason 558:
1.44 tv 559: 20011029:
560: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
561: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
562: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
563: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
564: manual update log.
565:
566: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
567: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
568: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
569: by the new build system.
1.42 perry 570:
571: 20011028:
572: src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
573: symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
574: prevented this was corrected.
575:
576: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
577: Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
578: for you.
1.40 lukem 579:
580: 20011006:
581: /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
582: absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
583: understand the format.
584:
585: Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
1.39 jmc 586:
587: 20011004:
588: Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
589: is suggested before running a snapshot build
1.36 tv 590:
1.35 thorpej 591: 20010915:
592: The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
593: a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
594: files that still reference this file.
595:
596: Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
597: directories.
1.31 enami 598:
599: 20010803:
600: grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
601: requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
602: building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
603: the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
1.30 enami 604:
1.64 sommerfe 605: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 606: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 607: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 608: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
609: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
610: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
611: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
612: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
1.29 bjh21 613:
614: 20010731:
615: Bootloader update on ELF platforms. DDB in kernels from before
616: this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
617: bootloaders.
1.27 assar 618:

1.28 assar 621: build the included texinfo files, do:
622:
623: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
624: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.25 thorpej 625:
626: 20010718:
627: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
628: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
629: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
630: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
631:
632: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
633: if you have a stale dependency.
634:
635: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
636: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 637:
638: 20010628:
639: A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
640: in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
641: bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
1.21 jmc 642:
643: 20010226:
1.22 jmc 644: Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
1.21 jmc 645: will break as mtree aborts early.

647: To work around add by hand:
648:
649: named:*:14:
650:
1.22 jmc 651: to /etc/group and add:
652:
653: named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
654:
655: to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
656:
657: Now a make build should progress.
1.18 jmc 658:
659: 20010219:
1.52 wiz 660: get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
1.111 simonb 661: to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
1.18 jmc 662:
1.111 simonb 663: Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
1.19 cgd 664: usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
665: CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
1.20 jmc 666: usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
1.111 simonb 667: building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
1.15 christos 668:
669: 20010204:
670: prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
671: particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
672: needs to be installed before make build.
1.10 christos 673:
674: 20010114:
675: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
676: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 677: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 678: with make build.
1.9 sommerfe 679:
680: 20010101:
681: bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
682: afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
1.8 sommerfe 683:
684: 20001230:
685: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
686: If you get make errors,
687: (cd share/mk; make install)
688: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 689:
690: 20001019:
1.7 ad 691: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 692: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
693: directory.
1.1 abs 694:
1.4 itojun 695: 20000929:
696: The following make directives are obsoleted.
697: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
698: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 699: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 700: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 701:
702:
703: Hints for a more successful build:
704: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 705: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 706: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 707: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
708: new build products from interfering with the running
709: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
710: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 711: Build a new kernel first:
712: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
713: expected by the new userland will be present. This
714: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 715: Use object directories:
716: This helps to keep stale object
717: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
718: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
719: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
720: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 721: To use object directories with build.sh:
722: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
723: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 724: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 725: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
726: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 727: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 728: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
729: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 730: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 731: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
732: from interfering with the new build.
733: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
734: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
735: environment variable before running make build. It should be
736: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
737: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
738: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
739: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
740: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 741: Build often:
742: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
743: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 744: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
745: this problem.
1.1 abs 746:
747: What to do if things don't work:
748: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
749: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
750: should be done.
751: 1) make includes
752: This should be done automatically by make build.
753: 2) cd share/mk && make install
754: Again, automatically done by make build.
755:
756: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
757: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
758: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
759: something like the following:
760: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
761: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
762: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
763: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
764: make cleandir
765: rm ...all obj directories...
766: make cleandir # yes, again
767: make obj
768: make depend && make
769:
770: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
771: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
772: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 773: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
774: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
775: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
