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:
1.145 ! martin 19: 20060131:
! 20: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
! 21: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
! 22: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
! 23: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
! 24: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
! 25:
1.144 yamt 26: 20050917:
27: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
28: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
29: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
30: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
31: to get the previous configuration.
32:
1.143 lukem 33: 20050830:
34: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
35: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
36: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
37: this in their DESTDIR.
38:
1.142 drochner 39: 20050825:
40: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
41: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
42: modified to emit the new data structures.
43: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
44: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
45:
1.139 christos 46: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 47: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
48: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 49: you can build a kernel again.
50:
1.140 yamt 51: 20050520:
52: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
53: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
54:
1.138 lukem 55: 20050417:
56: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
57: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
58: upgrade.
59:
1.136 cube 60: 20050325:
61: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
62: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
63: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 64: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
65: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
66: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
67: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 68:
1.135 jmc 69: 20050211:
70: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
71: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
72: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
73: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
74: make a build continue.
75:
1.134 christos 76: 20050109:
77: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
78: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
79: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
80: a password).
81:
1.133 christos 82: 20041229:
83: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
84: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
85: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
86: the build.
87:
1.130 christos 88: 20041201:
89: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
90: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 91: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 92:
1.129 jmc 93: 20041006:
94:
95: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
96: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
97: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
98: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
99:
100: ident /bin/sh | grep var
101:
102: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
103: before attempting a build.
104:
1.127 christos 105: 20041001:
106: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
107: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
108: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 109: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
110: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 111:
1.125 atatat 112: 20040715:
113: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
114: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
115: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
116: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
117: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
118: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
119:
120: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
121:
122: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
123: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
124: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
125: loopback interface.
126:
127: 20040715:
128: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
129: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
130: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
131:
1.124 jmc 132: 20040621:
133: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
134: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
135:
136: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 137: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 138:
139: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
140:
1.121 lukem 141: 20040516:
142: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
143: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
144: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
145: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
146:
1.126 lukem 147: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
148: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
149: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
150: manually move these files yourself.
151:
1.119 atatat 152: 20040426:
153: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
154: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
155: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
156: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
157: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
158: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
159: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
160: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
161: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
162: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 163: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
164: do the following:
1.119 atatat 165:
1.120 atatat 166: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
167: make USETOOLS=no includes
168: cd lib/libc
169: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
170: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 171: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
172:
1.122 itojun 173: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
174: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
175: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
176: make sure to follow the above steps.
177:
1.118 dbj 178: 20040425:
179: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
180: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
181: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
182: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
183: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
184: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
185: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
186: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
187: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
188: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
189:
1.115 christos 190: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 191: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 192: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
193: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
194: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
195: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 196: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
197: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 198:
1.114 jmc 199: 20040326:
200: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 201: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 202: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
203: to build it.
204:
205: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
206: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
207:
1.113 dan 208: 20040318:
209: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
210: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
211: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
212: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
213: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
214: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
215:
1.108 bjh21 216: 20040313:
217: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
218: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
219: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
220: for examples.
221:
1.106 bjh21 222: 20040125:
223: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
224: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
225: files.
1.105 bjh21 226:
1.102 dbj 227: 20040109:
228: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
229: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
230: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
231: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 232: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 233: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 234: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 235: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
236: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 237: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 238:
1.99 mrg 239: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 240: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 241: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
242: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 243:
244: 20031111:
245: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
246: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 247:
248: 20031008:
249: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
250: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
251: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 252:
1.109 dbj 253: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 254: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
255: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
256: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 257: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 258: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
259: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
260: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 261:
1.96 christos 262: 20030906:
263: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
264: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
265: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 266:
267: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 268: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 269: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 270: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 271:
272: 20030703:
273: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
274: build the included texinfo files, do:
275:
276: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
277: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 278:
279: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 280: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 281: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 282: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
283: make MKMAN=no dependall install
284: (untested).
1.89 christos 285:
286: 20030516:
287: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
288: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
289: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
290: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
291: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
292: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
293: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
294: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 295:
296: 20030402:
297: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
298: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
299: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
300: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
301: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
302: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 303:
304: 20030324:
305: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
306: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
307: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
308: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
309: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
310: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
311: configuration file is also strongly advised.
312:
313: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
314: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
315: information.
1.82 wiz 316:
317: 20030117:
318: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
319: build the included texinfo files, do:
320:
321: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
322: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 323:
324: 20021223:
325: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
326: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
327: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
328: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
329: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 330:
331: 20021219:
332: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
333: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
334:
1.93 salo 335: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 336:
337: 20021219:
338: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
339: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
340: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
341:
342: The build system was modified to take advantage of
343: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 344: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 345: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 346:
347: 20021130:
348: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
349: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
350: and rebuild libc:
351: make includes
352: make do-lib-libc
353: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
354: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 355:
356: 20021126:
357: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
358: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
359: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
360: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 361:
362: 20021121:
363: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
364: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
365: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
366: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
367: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
368: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
369: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
370: do this.
371:
372: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
373: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
374: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 375:
376: 20021121:
377: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
378: corrected.
379:
380: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
381: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
382: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 383: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 384: to the assembler.
385:
386: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
387: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
388: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
389:
390: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
391: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
392: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
393: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
394: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
395:
396: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
397: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 398: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 399: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 400: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
401: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
402:
403: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 404: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 405:
406: 20021011:
407: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
408: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 409: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 410:
411: 20021010:
412: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
413: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
414: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
415: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 416:
417: 20021009:
418: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
419: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 420: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 421: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 422:
423: 20021003:
424: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
425: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
426: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 427:
428: 20021001:
429: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
430: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
431: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
432: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
433: options MULTIPROCESSOR

1.41 wiz 626: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 627: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 628: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,

630: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
631: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.

651:
652: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV

1.16 wiz 719: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 720: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 721:
722:
723: Hints for a more successful build:
724: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 725: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 726: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 727: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
728: new build products from interfering with the running
729: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
730: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 731: Build a new kernel first:
732: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
733: expected by the new userland will be present. This
734: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 735: Use object directories:
736: This helps to keep stale object
737: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
738: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
739: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
740: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 741: To use object directories with build.sh:
742: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
743: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 744: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 745: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
746: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 747: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 748: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
749: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 750: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 751: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
752: from interfering with the new build.
753: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
754: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
755: environment variable before running make build. It should be
756: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
757: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
758: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
759: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
760: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 761: Build often:
762: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
763: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 764: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
765: this problem.
1.1 abs 766:
767: What to do if things don't work:
768: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
769: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
770: should be done.
771: 1) make includes
772: This should be done automatically by make build.
773: 2) cd share/mk && make install
774: Again, automatically done by make build.
775:
776: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
777: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
778: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
779: something like the following:
780: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
781: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
782: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
783: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
784: make cleandir
785: rm ...all obj directories...
786: make cleandir # yes, again
787: make obj
788: make depend && make
789:
790: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
791: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
792: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 793: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
794: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
795: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
