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.

17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.143 ! lukem 19: 20050830:
! 20: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
! 21: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
! 22: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
! 23: this in their DESTDIR.
! 24:
1.142 drochner 25: 20050825:
26: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
27: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
28: modified to emit the new data structures.
29: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
30: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
31:
1.139 christos 32: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 33: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
34: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 35: you can build a kernel again.
36:
1.140 yamt 37: 20050520:
38: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
39: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
40:
1.138 lukem 41: 20050417:
42: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
43: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
44: upgrade.
45:
1.136 cube 46: 20050325:
47: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
48: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
49: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 50: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
51: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
52: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
53: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 54:
1.135 jmc 55: 20050211:
56: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
57: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
58: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
59: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
60: make a build continue.
61:
1.134 christos 62: 20050109:
63: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
64: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
65: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
66: a password).
67:
1.133 christos 68: 20041229:
69: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
70: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
71: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
72: the build.
73:
1.130 christos 74: 20041201:
75: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
76: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 77: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 78:
1.129 jmc 79: 20041006:
80:
81: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
82: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
83: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
84: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
85:
86: ident /bin/sh | grep var
87:
88: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
89: before attempting a build.
90:
1.127 christos 91: 20041001:
92: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
93: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
94: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 95: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
96: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 97:
1.125 atatat 98: 20040715:
99: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
100: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
101: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
102: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
103: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
104: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
105:
106: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
107:
108: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
109: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
110: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
111: loopback interface.
112:
113: 20040715:
114: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
115: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
116: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
117:
1.124 jmc 118: 20040621:
119: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
120: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
121:
122: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 123: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 124:
125: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
126:
1.121 lukem 127: 20040516:
128: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
129: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
130: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
131: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
132:
1.126 lukem 133: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
134: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
135: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
136: manually move these files yourself.
137:
1.119 atatat 138: 20040426:
139: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
140: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
141: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
142: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
143: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
144: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
145: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
146: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
147: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
148: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 149: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
150: do the following:
1.119 atatat 151:
1.120 atatat 152: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
153: make USETOOLS=no includes
154: cd lib/libc
155: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
156: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 157: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
158:
1.122 itojun 159: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
160: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
161: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
162: make sure to follow the above steps.
163:
1.118 dbj 164: 20040425:
165: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
166: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
167: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
168: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
169: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
170: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
171: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
172: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
173: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
174: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
175:
1.115 christos 176: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 177: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 178: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
179: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
180: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
181: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 182: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
183: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 184:
1.114 jmc 185: 20040326:
186: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 187: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 188: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
189: to build it.
190:
191: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
192: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
193:
1.113 dan 194: 20040318:
195: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
196: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
197: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
198: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
199: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
200: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
201:
1.108 bjh21 202: 20040313:
203: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
204: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
205: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
206: for examples.
207:
1.106 bjh21 208: 20040125:
209: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
210: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
211: files.
1.105 bjh21 212:
1.102 dbj 213: 20040109:
214: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
215: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
216: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
217: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 218: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 219: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 220: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 221: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
222: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 223: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 224:
1.99 mrg 225: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 226: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 227: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
228: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 229:
230: 20031111:
231: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
232: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 233:
234: 20031008:
235: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
236: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
237: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 238:
1.109 dbj 239: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 240: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
241: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
242: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 243: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 244: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
245: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
246: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 247:
1.96 christos 248: 20030906:
249: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
250: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
251: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 252:
253: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 254: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 255: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 256: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 257:
258: 20030703:
259: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
260: build the included texinfo files, do:
261:
262: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
263: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 264:
265: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 266: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 267: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 268: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
269: make MKMAN=no dependall install
270: (untested).
1.89 christos 271:
272: 20030516:
273: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
274: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
275: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
276: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
277: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
278: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
279: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
280: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 281:
282: 20030402:
283: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
284: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
285: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
286: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
287: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
288: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 289:
290: 20030324:
291: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
292: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
293: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
294: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
295: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
296: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
297: configuration file is also strongly advised.
298:
299: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
300: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
301: information.
1.82 wiz 302:
303: 20030117:
304: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
305: build the included texinfo files, do:
306:
307: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
308: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 309:
310: 20021223:
311: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
312: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
313: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
314: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
315: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 316:
317: 20021219:
318: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
319: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
320:
1.93 salo 321: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 322:
323: 20021219:
324: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
325: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
326: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
327:
328: The build system was modified to take advantage of
329: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 330: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 331: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 332:
333: 20021130:
334: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
335: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
336: and rebuild libc:
337: make includes
338: make do-lib-libc
339: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
340: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 341:
342: 20021126:
343: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
344: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
345: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
346: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 347:
348: 20021121:
349: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
350: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
351: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
352: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
353: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
354: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
355: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
356: do this.
357:
358: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
359: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
360: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 361:
362: 20021121:
363: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
364: corrected.
365:
366: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
367: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
368: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 369: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 370: to the assembler.
371:
372: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
373: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
374: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
375:
376: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
377: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
378: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
379: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
380: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
381:
382: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
383: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 384: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 385: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 386: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
387: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
388:
389: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 390: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 391:
392: 20021011:
393: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
394: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 395: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 396:
397: 20021010:
398: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
399: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
400: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
401: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 402:
403: 20021009:
404: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
405: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 406: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 407: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 408:
409: 20021003:
410: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
411: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
412: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 413:
414: 20021001:
415: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
416: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
417: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
418: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
419: options MULTIPROCESSOR
420: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 421:

423: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
424: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
425: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
426: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
427: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
428: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,

491: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
492: the problems identified.

528: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
529: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
530: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
531:
532: To fix:
533:
534: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
535: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
536:
537: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 538: gnu/lib/libstdc++

1.48 jmc 552: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 553:
1.46 thorpej 554: 20011128:

566: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
567: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
568: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
569: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
570: manual update log.
571:
572: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
573: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
574: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
575: by the new build system.

603: directories.
1.31 enami 604:
605: 20010803:
606: grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
607: requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before

609: the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
1.30 enami 610:
1.64 sommerfe 611: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 612: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 613: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 614: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
615: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
616: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
617: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
618: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

633: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
634: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
635: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
636: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
637:
638: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
639: if you have a stale dependency.
640:
641: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
642: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 643:
644: 20010628:

677: particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
678: needs to be installed before make build.
1.10 christos 679:
680: 20010114:
681: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
682: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 683: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 684: with make build.
1.9 sommerfe 685:
686: 20010101:
687: bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
688: afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
1.8 sommerfe 689:
690: 20001230:
691: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
692: If you get make errors,
693: (cd share/mk; make install)
694: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 695:
696: 20001019:
1.7 ad 697: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 698: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
699: directory.
1.1 abs 700:
1.4 itojun 701: 20000929:
702: The following make directives are obsoleted.
703: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
704: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 705: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 706: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 707:
708:
709: Hints for a more successful build:
710: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 711: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 712: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 713: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
714: new build products from interfering with the running
715: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
716: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 717: Build a new kernel first:
718: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
719: expected by the new userland will be present. This
720: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 721: Use object directories:
722: This helps to keep stale object
723: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
724: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
725: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
726: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 727: To use object directories with build.sh:
728: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
729: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 730: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 731: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
732: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 733: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 734: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
735: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 736: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 737: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
738: from interfering with the new build.
739: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
740: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
741: environment variable before running make build. It should be
742: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
743: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
744: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
745: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
746: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 747: Build often:
748: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
749: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 750: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
751: this problem.
1.1 abs 752:
753: What to do if things don't work:
754: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
755: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
756: should be done.
757: 1) make includes
758: This should be done automatically by make build.
759: 2) cd share/mk && make install
760: Again, automatically done by make build.
761:
762: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
763: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
764: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
765: something like the following:
766: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
767: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
768: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
769: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
770: make cleandir
771: rm ...all obj directories...
772: make cleandir # yes, again
773: make obj
774: make depend && make
775:
776: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
777: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
778: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 779: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
780: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
781: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
