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.

1.138 lukem 18:
1.148 ! dogcow 19: 20060627:
! 20: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
! 21: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
! 22: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
! 23: errors will result.
! 24:
1.146 pavel 25: 20060526:
1.147 christos 26: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
27: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 28: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
29: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 30: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
31: with an error like:
32: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
33: non constant expression for load base
34: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
35: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
36: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
37: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
38: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
39:
1.145 martin 40: 20060131:
41: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
42: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
43: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
44: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
45: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
46:
1.144 yamt 47: 20050917:
48: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
49: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
50: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
51: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
52: to get the previous configuration.
53:
1.143 lukem 54: 20050830:
55: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
56: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
57: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
58: this in their DESTDIR.
59:
1.142 drochner 60: 20050825:
61: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
62: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
63: modified to emit the new data structures.
64: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
65: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
66:
1.139 christos 67: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 68: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
69: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 70: you can build a kernel again.
71:
1.140 yamt 72: 20050520:
73: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
74: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
75:
1.138 lukem 76: 20050417:
77: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
78: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
79: upgrade.
80:
1.136 cube 81: 20050325:
82: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
83: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
84: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 85: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
86: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
87: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
88: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 89:
1.135 jmc 90: 20050211:
91: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
92: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
93: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
94: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
95: make a build continue.
96:
1.134 christos 97: 20050109:
98: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
99: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
100: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
101: a password).
102:
1.133 christos 103: 20041229:
104: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
105: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
106: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
107: the build.
108:
1.130 christos 109: 20041201:
110: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
111: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 112: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 113:
1.129 jmc 114: 20041006:
115:
116: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
117: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
118: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
119: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
120:
121: ident /bin/sh | grep var
122:
123: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
124: before attempting a build.
125:
1.127 christos 126: 20041001:
127: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
128: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
129: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 130: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
131: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 132:
1.125 atatat 133: 20040715:
134: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
135: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
136: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
137: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
138: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
139: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
140:
141: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
142:
143: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
144: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
145: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
146: loopback interface.
147:
148: 20040715:
149: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
150: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
151: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
152:
1.124 jmc 153: 20040621:
154: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
155: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
156:
157: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 158: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 159:
160: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
161:
1.121 lukem 162: 20040516:
163: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
164: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
165: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
166: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
167:
1.126 lukem 168: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
169: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
170: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
171: manually move these files yourself.
172:
1.119 atatat 173: 20040426:
174: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
175: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
176: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
177: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
178: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
179: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
180: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
181: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
182: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
183: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 184: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
185: do the following:
1.119 atatat 186:
1.120 atatat 187: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
188: make USETOOLS=no includes
189: cd lib/libc
190: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
191: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 192: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
193:
1.122 itojun 194: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
195: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
196: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
197: make sure to follow the above steps.
198:
1.118 dbj 199: 20040425:
200: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
201: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
202: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
203: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
204: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
205: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
206: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
207: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
208: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
209: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
210:
1.115 christos 211: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 212: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 213: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
214: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
215: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
216: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 217: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
218: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 219:
1.114 jmc 220: 20040326:
221: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 222: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 223: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
224: to build it.
225:
226: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
227: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
228:
1.113 dan 229: 20040318:
230: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
231: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
232: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
233: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
234: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
235: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
236:
1.108 bjh21 237: 20040313:
238: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
239: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
240: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
241: for examples.
242:
1.106 bjh21 243: 20040125:
244: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
245: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
246: files.
1.105 bjh21 247:
1.102 dbj 248: 20040109:
249: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
250: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
251: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
252: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 253: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 254: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 255: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 256: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
257: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 258: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 259:
1.99 mrg 260: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 261: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 262: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
263: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 264:
265: 20031111:
266: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
267: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 268:
269: 20031008:
270: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
271: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
272: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 273:
1.109 dbj 274: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 275: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
276: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
277: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 278: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 279: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
280: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
281: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 282:
1.96 christos 283: 20030906:
284: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
285: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
286: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 287:
288: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 289: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 290: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 291: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 292:
293: 20030703:
294: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
295: build the included texinfo files, do:
296:
297: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
298: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 299:
300: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 301: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 302: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 303: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
304: make MKMAN=no dependall install
305: (untested).
1.89 christos 306:
307: 20030516:
308: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
309: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
310: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
311: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
312: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
313: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
314: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
315: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 316:
317: 20030402:
318: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
319: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
320: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
321: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
322: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
323: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 324:
325: 20030324:
326: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
327: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
328: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
329: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
330: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
331: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
332: configuration file is also strongly advised.
333:
334: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
335: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
336: information.
1.82 wiz 337:
338: 20030117:
339: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
340: build the included texinfo files, do:
341:
342: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
343: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 344:
345: 20021223:
346: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
347: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
348: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
349: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
350: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 351:
352: 20021219:
353: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
354: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.

1.93 salo 356: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 357:
358: 20021219:
359: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
360: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
361: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
362:
363: The build system was modified to take advantage of
364: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 365: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 366: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 367:
368: 20021130:
369: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
370: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
371: and rebuild libc:
372: make includes
373: make do-lib-libc
374: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
375: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 376:
377: 20021126:
378: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
379: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
380: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
381: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 382:
383: 20021121:
384: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
385: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
386: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
387: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
388: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
389: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
390: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
391: do this.
392:
393: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
394: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
395: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 396:
397: 20021121:
398: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
399: corrected.
400:
401: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
402: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
403: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 404: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 405: to the assembler.
406:
407: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
408: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
409: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
410:
411: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
412: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
413: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
414: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
415: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
416:
417: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
418: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 419: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 420: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 421: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
422: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
423:
424: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 425: port-arm@NetBSD.org.

428: Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
429: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 430: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 431:
432: 20021010:
433: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
434: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
435: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
436: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 437:
438: 20021009:
439: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
440: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 441: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 442: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 443:
444: 20021003:
445: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
446: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
447: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 448:
449: 20021001:
450: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
451: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
452: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
453: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
454: options MULTIPROCESSOR
455: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 456:
457: 20020922:
458: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
459: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
460: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
461: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
462: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
463: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
464: with:
465: make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
1.67 lukem 466:

468: USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
469: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
470: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
471: x86_64).
472: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 473: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 474: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
475: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 476:

483: are now provided in /rescue.
484:
485: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
486: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
487: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).

525: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
526: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
527: the problems identified.
528: This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
529: configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
1.56 lukem 530:

1.79 wiz 536: Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
537: on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
1.55 itojun 538: newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
539:
1.54 itojun 540: 20020311:
541: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
542: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
543: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
544:
545: 20020223:
1.53 matt 546: Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
547: so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
548: the VAX assembly files.
549:
1.50 itojun 550: 20020118:
551: ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
552: will break as mtree aborts early.
553:
554: Add the following into /etc/group:
555:
556: ntpd:*:15:

563: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
564: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
565: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
566:
567: To fix:
568:
569: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
570: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
571:
572: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 573: gnu/lib/libstdc++

584:
585: remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
586: remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
1.48 jmc 587: against the new libgcc.a)
1.47 jmc 588:
1.46 thorpej 589: 20011128:
590: Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
591: the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
592: required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
593: to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
594: to build a new kernel.

598: before building libc.
1.43 mason 599:
1.44 tv 600: 20011029:
601: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
602: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
603: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
604: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
605: manual update log.
606:
607: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
608: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
609: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
610: by the new build system.
1.42 perry 611:

614: symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
615: prevented this was corrected.
616:
617: Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
618: Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
619: for you.
1.40 lukem 620:

636:
637: Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
638: directories.
1.31 enami 639:
640: 20010803:
641: grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
642: requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before

644: the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
1.30 enami 645:
1.64 sommerfe 646: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 647: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 648: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 649: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
650: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
651: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
652: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
653: [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]

668: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
669: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
670: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
671: timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
672:
673: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
674: if you have a stale dependency.
675:
676: Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
677: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 678:
679: 20010628:

716: introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
717: bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
1.23 tron 718: anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
1.10 christos 719: with make build.

1.8 sommerfe 724:
725: 20001230:
726: New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
727: If you get make errors,
728: (cd share/mk; make install)
729: Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
1.6 ad 730:
731: 20001019:
1.7 ad 732: The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
1.6 ad 733: major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
734: directory.
1.1 abs 735:

737: The following make directives are obsoleted.
738: MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
739: By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
1.16 wiz 740: built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
1.4 itojun 741: additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
1.1 abs 742:
743:
744: Hints for a more successful build:
745: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 746: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 747: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 748: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
749: new build products from interfering with the running
750: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
751: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 752: Build a new kernel first:
753: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
754: expected by the new userland will be present. This
755: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 756: Use object directories:
757: This helps to keep stale object
758: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
759: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
760: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
761: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 762: To use object directories with build.sh:
763: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
764: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 765: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 766: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
767: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 768: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 769: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
770: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 771: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 772: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
773: from interfering with the new build.
774: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
775: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
776: environment variable before running make build. It should be
777: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
778: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
779: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
780: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
781: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 782: Build often:
783: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
784: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 785: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
786: this problem.
1.1 abs 787:
788: What to do if things don't work:
789: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
790: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
791: should be done.
792: 1) make includes
793: This should be done automatically by make build.
794: 2) cd share/mk && make install
795: Again, automatically done by make build.
796:
797: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
798: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
799: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
800: something like the following:
801: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
802: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
803: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
804: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
805: make cleandir
806: rm ...all obj directories...
807: make cleandir # yes, again
808: make obj
809: make depend && make
810:
811: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
812: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
813: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 814: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
815: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
816: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
