1.150 ! bjh21 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.149 2006/07/04 00:40:43 christos 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:
1.150 ! bjh21 19: 20060814:
! 20: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
! 21: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
! 22: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
! 23: few years should cope.
! 24:
1.149 christos 25: 20060703:
26: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
27: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
28: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
29:
1.148 dogcow 30: 20060627:
31: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
32: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
33: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
34: errors will result.
35:
1.146 pavel 36: 20060526:
1.147 christos 37: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
38: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 39: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
40: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 41: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
42: with an error like:
43: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
44: non constant expression for load base
45: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
46: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
47: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
48: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
49: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
50:
1.145 martin 51: 20060131:
52: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
53: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
54: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
55: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
56: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
57:
1.144 yamt 58: 20050917:
59: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
60: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
61: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
62: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
63: to get the previous configuration.
64:
1.143 lukem 65: 20050830:
66: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
67: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
68: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
69: this in their DESTDIR.
70:
1.142 drochner 71: 20050825:
72: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
73: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
74: modified to emit the new data structures.
75: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
76: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
77:
1.139 christos 78: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 79: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
80: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 81: you can build a kernel again.
82:
1.140 yamt 83: 20050520:
84: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
85: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
86:
1.138 lukem 87: 20050417:
88: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
89: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
90: upgrade.
91:
1.136 cube 92: 20050325:
93: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
94: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
95: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 96: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
97: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
98: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
99: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 100:
1.135 jmc 101: 20050211:
102: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
103: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
104: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
105: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
106: make a build continue.
107:
1.134 christos 108: 20050109:
109: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
110: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
111: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
112: a password).
113:
1.133 christos 114: 20041229:
115: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
116: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
117: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
118: the build.
119:
1.130 christos 120: 20041201:
121: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
122: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 123: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 124:
1.129 jmc 125: 20041006:
126:
127: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
128: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
129: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
130: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
131:
132: ident /bin/sh | grep var
133:
134: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
135: before attempting a build.
136:
1.127 christos 137: 20041001:
138: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
139: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
140: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 141: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
142: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 143:
1.125 atatat 144: 20040715:
145: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
146: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
147: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
148: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
149: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
150: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
151:
152: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
153:
154: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
155: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
156: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
157: loopback interface.
158:
159: 20040715:
160: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
161: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
162: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
163:
1.124 jmc 164: 20040621:
165: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
166: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
167:
168: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 169: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 170:
171: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
172:
1.121 lukem 173: 20040516:
174: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
175: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
176: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
177: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
178:
1.126 lukem 179: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
180: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
181: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
182: manually move these files yourself.
183:
1.119 atatat 184: 20040426:
185: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
186: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
187: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
188: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
189: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
190: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
191: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
192: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
193: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
194: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 195: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
196: do the following:
1.119 atatat 197:
1.120 atatat 198: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
199: make USETOOLS=no includes
200: cd lib/libc
201: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
202: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 203: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
204:
1.122 itojun 205: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
206: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
207: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
208: make sure to follow the above steps.
209:
1.118 dbj 210: 20040425:
211: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
212: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
213: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
214: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
215: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
216: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
217: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
218: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
219: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
220: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
221:
1.115 christos 222: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 223: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 224: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
225: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
226: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
227: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 228: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
229: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 230:
1.114 jmc 231: 20040326:
232: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 233: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 234: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
235: to build it.
236:
237: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
238: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
239:
1.113 dan 240: 20040318:
241: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
242: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
243: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
244: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
245: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
246: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
247:
1.108 bjh21 248: 20040313:
249: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
250: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
251: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
252: for examples.
253:
1.106 bjh21 254: 20040125:
255: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
256: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
257: files.
1.105 bjh21 258:
1.102 dbj 259: 20040109:
260: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
261: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
262: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
263: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 264: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 265: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 266: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 267: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
268: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 269: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 270:
1.99 mrg 271: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 272: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 273: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
274: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 275:
276: 20031111:
277: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
278: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 279:
280: 20031008:
281: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
282: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
283: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 284:
1.109 dbj 285: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 286: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
287: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
288: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 289: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 290: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
291: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
292: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 293:
1.96 christos 294: 20030906:
295: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
296: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
297: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 298:
299: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 300: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 301: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 302: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 303:
304: 20030703:
305: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
306: build the included texinfo files, do:
307:
308: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
309: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 310:
311: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 312: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 313: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 314: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
315: make MKMAN=no dependall install
316: (untested).
1.89 christos 317:
318: 20030516:
319: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
320: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
321: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
322: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
323: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
324: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
325: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
326: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 327:
328: 20030402:
329: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
330: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
331: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
332: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
333: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
334: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 335:
336: 20030324:
337: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
338: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
339: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
340: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
341: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
342: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
343: configuration file is also strongly advised.
344:
345: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
346: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
347: information.
1.82 wiz 348:
349: 20030117:
350: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
351: build the included texinfo files, do:
352:
353: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
354: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 355:
356: 20021223:
357: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
358: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
359: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
360: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
361: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 362:
363: 20021219:
364: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
365: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
366:
1.93 salo 367: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 368:
369: 20021219:
370: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
371: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
372: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
373:
374: The build system was modified to take advantage of
375: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 376: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 377: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 378:
379: 20021130:
380: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
381: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
382: and rebuild libc:
383: make includes
384: make do-lib-libc
385: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
386: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 387:
388: 20021126:
389: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
390: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
391: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
392: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 393:
394: 20021121:
395: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
396: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
397: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
398: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
399: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
400: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
401: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
402: do this.
403:
404: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
405: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
406: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 407:
408: 20021121:
409: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
410: corrected.
411:
412: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
413: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
414: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 415: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 416: to the assembler.
417:
418: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
419: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
420: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
421:
422: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
423: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
424: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
425: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
426: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.

428: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
429: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 430: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 431: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 432: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
433: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.

440: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 441: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 442:
443: 20021010:
444: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
445: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
446: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
447: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 448:

461: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
462: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
463: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
464: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
465: options MULTIPROCESSOR
466: options COM_MPLOCK

469: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
470: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
471: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
472: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
473: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
474: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,

480: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
481: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
482: x86_64).
483: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 484: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This

574: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
575: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
576: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
577:
578: To fix:
579:
580: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)

612: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
613: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
614: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
615: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this

1.41 wiz 658: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 659: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 660: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,

683:
684: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV

688: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 689:

1.1 abs 753:

755: Hints for a more successful build:
756: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 757: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 758: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 759: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
760: new build products from interfering with the running
761: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
762: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 763: Build a new kernel first:
764: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
765: expected by the new userland will be present. This
766: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 767: Use object directories:
768: This helps to keep stale object
769: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
770: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
771: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
772: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 773: To use object directories with build.sh:
774: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
775: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 776: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 777: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
778: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 779: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 780: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
781: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 782: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 783: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
784: from interfering with the new build.
785: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
786: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
787: environment variable before running make build. It should be
788: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
789: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
790: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
791: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
792: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 793: Build often:
794: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
795: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 796: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
797: this problem.
1.1 abs 798:
799: What to do if things don't work:
800: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
801: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
802: should be done.
803: 1) make includes
804: This should be done automatically by make build.
805: 2) cd share/mk && make install
806: Again, automatically done by make build.
807:
808: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
809: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
810: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
811: something like the following:
812: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
813: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
814: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
815: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
816: make cleandir
817: rm ...all obj directories...
818: make cleandir # yes, again
819: make obj
820: make depend && make
821:
822: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
823: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
824: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 825: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
826: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
