1.149 ! christos 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.148 2006/06/27 21:14:11 dogcow 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.

1.149 ! christos 19: 20060703:
! 20: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
! 21: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
! 22: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
! 23:
1.148 dogcow 24: 20060627:
25: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
26: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
27: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
28: errors will result.
29:
1.146 pavel 30: 20060526:
1.147 christos 31: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
32: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 33: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
34: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 35: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
36: with an error like:
37: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
38: non constant expression for load base
39: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
40: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
41: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
42: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
43: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
44:
1.145 martin 45: 20060131:
46: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
47: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
48: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
49: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
50: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
51:
1.144 yamt 52: 20050917:
53: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
54: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
55: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
56: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
57: to get the previous configuration.
58:
1.143 lukem 59: 20050830:
60: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
61: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
62: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
63: this in their DESTDIR.
64:
1.142 drochner 65: 20050825:
66: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
67: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
68: modified to emit the new data structures.
69: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
70: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
71:
1.139 christos 72: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 73: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
74: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 75: you can build a kernel again.
76:
1.140 yamt 77: 20050520:
78: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
79: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
80:
1.138 lukem 81: 20050417:
82: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
83: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
84: upgrade.
85:
1.136 cube 86: 20050325:
87: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
88: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
89: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 90: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
91: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
92: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
93: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 94:
1.135 jmc 95: 20050211:
96: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
97: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
98: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
99: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
100: make a build continue.
101:
1.134 christos 102: 20050109:
103: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
104: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
105: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
106: a password).
107:
1.133 christos 108: 20041229:
109: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
110: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
111: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
112: the build.
113:
1.130 christos 114: 20041201:
115: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
116: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 117: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 118:
1.129 jmc 119: 20041006:
120:
121: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
122: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
123: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
124: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
125:
126: ident /bin/sh | grep var
127:
128: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
129: before attempting a build.
130:
1.127 christos 131: 20041001:
132: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
133: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
134: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 135: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
136: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 137:
1.125 atatat 138: 20040715:
139: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
140: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
141: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
142: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
143: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
144: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
145:
146: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
147:
148: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
149: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
150: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
151: loopback interface.
152:
153: 20040715:
154: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
155: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
156: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
157:
1.124 jmc 158: 20040621:
159: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
160: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
161:
162: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 163: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 164:
165: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
166:
1.121 lukem 167: 20040516:
168: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
169: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
170: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
171: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
172:
1.126 lukem 173: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
174: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
175: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
176: manually move these files yourself.
177:
1.119 atatat 178: 20040426:
179: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
180: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
181: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
182: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
183: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
184: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
185: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
186: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
187: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
188: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 189: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
190: do the following:
1.119 atatat 191:
1.120 atatat 192: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
193: make USETOOLS=no includes
194: cd lib/libc
195: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
196: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 197: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
198:
1.122 itojun 199: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
200: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
201: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
202: make sure to follow the above steps.
203:
1.118 dbj 204: 20040425:
205: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
206: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
207: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
208: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
209: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
210: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
211: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
212: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
213: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
214: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
215:
1.115 christos 216: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 217: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 218: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
219: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
220: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
221: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 222: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
223: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 224:
1.114 jmc 225: 20040326:
226: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 227: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 228: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
229: to build it.
230:
231: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
232: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
233:
1.113 dan 234: 20040318:
235: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
236: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
237: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
238: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
239: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
240: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
241:
1.108 bjh21 242: 20040313:
243: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
244: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
245: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
246: for examples.
247:
1.106 bjh21 248: 20040125:
249: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
250: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
251: files.
1.105 bjh21 252:
1.102 dbj 253: 20040109:
254: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
255: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
256: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
257: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 258: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 259: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 260: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 261: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
262: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 263: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 264:
1.99 mrg 265: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 266: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 267: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
268: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 269:
270: 20031111:
271: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
272: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 273:
274: 20031008:
275: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
276: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
277: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 278:
1.109 dbj 279: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 280: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
281: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
282: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 283: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 284: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
285: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
286: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 287:
1.96 christos 288: 20030906:
289: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
290: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
291: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 292:
293: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 294: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 295: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 296: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 297:
298: 20030703:
299: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
300: build the included texinfo files, do:
301:
302: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
303: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 304:
305: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 306: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 307: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 308: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
309: make MKMAN=no dependall install
310: (untested).
1.89 christos 311:
312: 20030516:
313: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
314: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
315: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
316: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
317: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
318: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
319: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
320: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 321:
322: 20030402:
323: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
324: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
325: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
326: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
327: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
328: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 329:
330: 20030324:
331: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
332: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
333: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
334: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
335: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
336: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
337: configuration file is also strongly advised.
338:
339: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
340: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
341: information.
1.82 wiz 342:
343: 20030117:
344: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
345: build the included texinfo files, do:
346:
347: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
348: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 349:
350: 20021223:
351: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
352: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
353: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
354: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
355: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 356:
357: 20021219:
358: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
359: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
360:
1.93 salo 361: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 362:
363: 20021219:
364: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
365: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
366: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
367:
368: The build system was modified to take advantage of
369: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 370: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 371: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 372:
373: 20021130:
374: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
375: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
376: and rebuild libc:
377: make includes
378: make do-lib-libc
379: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
380: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 381:
382: 20021126:
383: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
384: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
385: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
386: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 387:
388: 20021121:
389: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
390: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
391: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
392: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
393: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
394: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
395: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
396: do this.
397:
398: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
399: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
400: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 401:
402: 20021121:
403: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
404: corrected.
405:
406: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
407: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
408: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 409: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 410: to the assembler.
411:
412: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
413: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
414: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
415:
416: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
417: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
418: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
419: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
420: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
421:
422: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
423: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 424: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 425: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 426: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled

441: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 442:

464: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
465: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
466: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
467: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that

475: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
476: x86_64).

568: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
569: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
570: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
571:
572: To fix:
573:
574: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)

606: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
607: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
608: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
609: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
610: manual update log.
611:
612: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the

1.41 wiz 652: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 653: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 654: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,

677:
678: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV

682: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 683:

1.1 abs 747:
748:
749: Hints for a more successful build:
750: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 751: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 752: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 753: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
754: new build products from interfering with the running
755: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
756: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 757: Build a new kernel first:
758: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
759: expected by the new userland will be present. This
760: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 761: Use object directories:
762: This helps to keep stale object
763: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
764: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
765: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
766: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 767: To use object directories with build.sh:
768: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
769: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 770: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 771: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
772: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 773: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 774: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
775: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 776: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 777: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
778: from interfering with the new build.
779: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
780: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
781: environment variable before running make build. It should be
782: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
783: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
784: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
785: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
786: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 787: Build often:
788: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
789: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 790: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
791: this problem.
1.1 abs 792:
793: What to do if things don't work:
794: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
795: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
796: should be done.
797: 1) make includes
798: This should be done automatically by make build.
799: 2) cd share/mk && make install
800: Again, automatically done by make build.
801:
802: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
803: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
804: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
805: something like the following:
806: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
807: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
808: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
809: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
810: make cleandir
811: rm ...all obj directories...
812: make cleandir # yes, again
813: make obj
814: make depend && make
815:
816: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
817: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
818: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 819: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
820: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
