1.147 ! christos 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.146 2006/06/02 19:01:00 pavel 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.

17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.146 pavel 19: 20060526:
1.147 ! christos 20: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
! 21: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 22: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
23: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 ! christos 24: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
! 25: with an error like:
! 26: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
! 27: non constant expression for load base
! 28: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
! 29: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
! 30: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
! 31: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
! 32: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
! 33:
1.145 martin 34: 20060131:
35: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
36: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
37: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
38: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
39: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
40:
1.144 yamt 41: 20050917:
42: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
43: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
44: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
45: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
46: to get the previous configuration.
47:
1.143 lukem 48: 20050830:
49: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
50: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
51: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
52: this in their DESTDIR.
53:
1.142 drochner 54: 20050825:
55: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
56: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
57: modified to emit the new data structures.
58: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
59: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
60:
1.139 christos 61: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 62: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
63: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 64: you can build a kernel again.
65:
1.140 yamt 66: 20050520:
67: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
68: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
69:
1.138 lukem 70: 20050417:
71: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
72: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
73: upgrade.
74:
1.136 cube 75: 20050325:
76: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
77: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
78: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 79: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
80: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
81: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
82: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 83:
1.135 jmc 84: 20050211:
85: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
86: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
87: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
88: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
89: make a build continue.
90:
1.134 christos 91: 20050109:
92: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
93: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
94: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
95: a password).
96:
1.133 christos 97: 20041229:
98: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
99: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
100: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
101: the build.
102:
1.130 christos 103: 20041201:
104: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
105: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 106: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 107:
1.129 jmc 108: 20041006:
109:
110: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
111: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
112: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
113: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
114:
115: ident /bin/sh | grep var
116:
117: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
118: before attempting a build.
119:
1.127 christos 120: 20041001:
121: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
122: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
123: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 124: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
125: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 126:
1.125 atatat 127: 20040715:
128: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
129: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
130: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
131: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
132: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
133: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
134:
135: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
136:
137: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
138: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
139: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
140: loopback interface.
141:
142: 20040715:
143: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
144: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
145: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
146:
1.124 jmc 147: 20040621:
148: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
149: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
150:
151: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 152: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 153:
154: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
155:
1.121 lukem 156: 20040516:
157: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
158: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
159: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
160: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
161:
1.126 lukem 162: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
163: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
164: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
165: manually move these files yourself.
166:
1.119 atatat 167: 20040426:
168: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
169: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
170: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
171: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
172: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
173: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
174: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
175: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
176: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
177: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 178: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
179: do the following:
1.119 atatat 180:
1.120 atatat 181: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
182: make USETOOLS=no includes
183: cd lib/libc
184: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
185: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 186: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
187:
1.122 itojun 188: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
189: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
190: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
191: make sure to follow the above steps.
192:
1.118 dbj 193: 20040425:
194: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
195: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
196: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
197: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
198: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
199: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
200: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
201: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
202: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
203: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
204:
1.115 christos 205: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 206: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 207: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
208: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
209: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
210: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 211: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
212: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 213:
1.114 jmc 214: 20040326:
215: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 216: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 217: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
218: to build it.
219:
220: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
221: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
222:
1.113 dan 223: 20040318:
224: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
225: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
226: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
227: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
228: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
229: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
230:
1.108 bjh21 231: 20040313:
232: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
233: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
234: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
235: for examples.
236:
1.106 bjh21 237: 20040125:
238: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
239: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
240: files.
1.105 bjh21 241:
1.102 dbj 242: 20040109:
243: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
244: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
245: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
246: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 247: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 248: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 249: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 250: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
251: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 252: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 253:
1.99 mrg 254: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 255: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 256: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
257: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 258:
259: 20031111:
260: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
261: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 262:
263: 20031008:
264: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
265: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
266: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 267:
1.109 dbj 268: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 269: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
270: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
271: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 272: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 273: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
274: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
275: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 276:
1.96 christos 277: 20030906:
278: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
279: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
280: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 281:
282: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 283: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 284: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 285: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 286:
287: 20030703:
288: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
289: build the included texinfo files, do:
290:
291: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
292: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 293:
294: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 295: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 296: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 297: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
298: make MKMAN=no dependall install
299: (untested).
1.89 christos 300:
301: 20030516:
302: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
303: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
304: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
305: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
306: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
307: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
308: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
309: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 310:
311: 20030402:
312: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
313: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
314: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
315: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
316: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
317: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 318:
319: 20030324:
320: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
321: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
322: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
323: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
324: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
325: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
326: configuration file is also strongly advised.
327:
328: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
329: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
330: information.
1.82 wiz 331:
332: 20030117:
333: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
334: build the included texinfo files, do:
335:
336: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
337: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 338:
339: 20021223:
340: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
341: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
342: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
343: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
344: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 345:
346: 20021219:
347: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
348: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
349:
1.93 salo 350: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 351:
352: 20021219:
353: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
354: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
355: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
356:
357: The build system was modified to take advantage of
358: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 359: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 360: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 361:
362: 20021130:
363: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
364: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
365: and rebuild libc:
366: make includes
367: make do-lib-libc
368: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
369: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 370:
371: 20021126:
372: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
373: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
374: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
375: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 376:
377: 20021121:
378: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
379: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
380: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
381: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
382: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
383: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
384: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
385: do this.
386:
387: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
388: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
389: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 390:
391: 20021121:
392: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
393: corrected.
394:
395: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
396: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
397: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 398: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 399: to the assembler.
400:
401: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
402: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
403: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
404:
405: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
406: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
407: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
408: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
409: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
410:
411: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
412: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 413: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 414: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 415: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
416: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
417:
418: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 419: port-arm@NetBSD.org.
1.73 provos 420:
421: 20021011:
422: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
423: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 424: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 425:
426: 20021010:
427: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register

433: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
434: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 435: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 436: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 437:

441: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 442:
443: 20021001:
444: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
445: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
446: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
447: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
448: options MULTIPROCESSOR
449: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 450:
451: 20020922:
452: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
453: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
454: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
455: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
456: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
457: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
458: with:

464: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
465: x86_64).
466: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 467: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This

1.54 itojun 534: 20020311:
535: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
536: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
537: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).

557: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
558: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
559: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
560:
561: To fix:
562:
563: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
564: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
565:
566: gnu/lib/libgcc

1.48 jmc 581: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 582:
1.46 thorpej 583: 20011128:

595: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
596: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
597: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
598: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
599: manual update log.
600:
601: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
602: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
603: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
604: by the new build system.

1.30 enami 639:
1.64 sommerfe 640: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 641: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 642: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 643: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
644: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
645: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
646: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.

662: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
663: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
664: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
665: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
666:
667: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
668: if you have a stale dependency.
669:
670: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
671: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 672:
673: 20010628:

1.4 itojun 735: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 736:
737:
738: Hints for a more successful build:
739: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 740: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 741: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 742: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
743: new build products from interfering with the running
744: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
745: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 746: Build a new kernel first:
747: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
748: expected by the new userland will be present. This
749: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 750: Use object directories:
751: This helps to keep stale object
752: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
753: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
754: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
755: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 756: To use object directories with build.sh:
757: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
758: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 759: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 760: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
761: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 762: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 763: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
764: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 765: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 766: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
767: from interfering with the new build.
768: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
769: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
770: environment variable before running make build. It should be
771: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
772: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
773: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
774: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
775: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 776: Build often:
777: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
778: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 779: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
780: this problem.
1.1 abs 781:
782: What to do if things don't work:
783: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
784: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
785: should be done.
786: 1) make includes
787: This should be done automatically by make build.
788: 2) cd share/mk && make install
789: Again, automatically done by make build.
790:
791: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
792: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
793: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
794: something like the following:
795: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
796: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
797: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
798: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
799: make cleandir
800: rm ...all obj directories...
801: make cleandir # yes, again
802: make obj
803: make depend && make
804:
805: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
806: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
807: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 808: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
809: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
