1.151 ! rpaulo 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.150 2006/08/15 20:48:01 bjh21 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.

16: Recent changes:
17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.151 ! rpaulo 19: 20061009:
! 20: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
! 21: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
! 22:
1.150 bjh21 23: 20060814:
24: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
25: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
26: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
27: few years should cope.
28:
1.149 christos 29: 20060703:
30: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
31: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
32: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
33:
1.148 dogcow 34: 20060627:
35: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
36: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
37: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
38: errors will result.
39:
1.146 pavel 40: 20060526:
1.147 christos 41: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
42: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 43: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
44: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 45: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
46: with an error like:
47: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
48: non constant expression for load base
49: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
50: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
51: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
52: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
53: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
54:
1.145 martin 55: 20060131:
56: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
57: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
58: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
59: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
60: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
61:
1.144 yamt 62: 20050917:
63: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
64: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
65: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
66: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
67: to get the previous configuration.
68:
1.143 lukem 69: 20050830:
70: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
71: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
72: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
73: this in their DESTDIR.
74:
1.142 drochner 75: 20050825:
76: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
77: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
78: modified to emit the new data structures.
79: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
80: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
81:
1.139 christos 82: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 83: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
84: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 85: you can build a kernel again.
86:
1.140 yamt 87: 20050520:
88: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
89: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
90:
1.138 lukem 91: 20050417:
92: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
93: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
94: upgrade.
95:
1.136 cube 96: 20050325:
97: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
98: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
99: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 100: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
101: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
102: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
103: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 104:
1.135 jmc 105: 20050211:
106: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
107: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
108: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
109: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
110: make a build continue.
111:
1.134 christos 112: 20050109:
113: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
114: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
115: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
116: a password).
117:
1.133 christos 118: 20041229:
119: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
120: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
121: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
122: the build.
123:
1.130 christos 124: 20041201:
125: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
126: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 127: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 128:
1.129 jmc 129: 20041006:
130:
131: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
132: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
133: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
134: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
135:
136: ident /bin/sh | grep var
137:
138: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
139: before attempting a build.
140:
1.127 christos 141: 20041001:
142: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
143: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
144: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 145: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
146: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 147:
1.125 atatat 148: 20040715:
149: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
150: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
151: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
152: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
153: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
154: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
155:
156: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
157:
158: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
159: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
160: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
161: loopback interface.
162:
163: 20040715:
164: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
165: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
166: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
167:
1.124 jmc 168: 20040621:
169: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
170: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
171:
172: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 173: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 174:
175: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
176:
1.121 lukem 177: 20040516:
178: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
179: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
180: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
181: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
182:
1.126 lukem 183: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
184: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
185: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
186: manually move these files yourself.
187:
1.119 atatat 188: 20040426:
189: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
190: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
191: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
192: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
193: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
194: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
195: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
196: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
197: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
198: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 199: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
200: do the following:
1.119 atatat 201:
1.120 atatat 202: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
203: make USETOOLS=no includes
204: cd lib/libc
205: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
206: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 207: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
208:
1.122 itojun 209: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
210: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
211: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
212: make sure to follow the above steps.
213:
1.118 dbj 214: 20040425:
215: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
216: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
217: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
218: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
219: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
220: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
221: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
222: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
223: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
224: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
225:
1.115 christos 226: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 227: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 228: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
229: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
230: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
231: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 232: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
233: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 234:
1.114 jmc 235: 20040326:
236: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 237: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 238: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
239: to build it.
240:
241: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
242: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
243:
1.113 dan 244: 20040318:
245: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
246: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
247: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
248: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
249: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
250: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
251:
1.108 bjh21 252: 20040313:
253: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
254: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
255: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
256: for examples.
257:
1.106 bjh21 258: 20040125:
259: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
260: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
261: files.
1.105 bjh21 262:
1.102 dbj 263: 20040109:
264: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
265: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
266: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
267: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 268: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 269: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 270: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 271: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
272: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 273: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 274:
1.99 mrg 275: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 276: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 277: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
278: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 279:
280: 20031111:
281: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
282: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 283:
284: 20031008:
285: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
286: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
287: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 288:
1.109 dbj 289: 20031007:
1.111 simonb 290: A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
291: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
292: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 293: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 294: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
295: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
296: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 297:
1.96 christos 298: 20030906:
299: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
300: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
301: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 302:
303: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 304: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 305: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 306: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 307:
308: 20030703:
309: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
310: build the included texinfo files, do:
311:
312: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
313: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 314:
315: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 316: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 317: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 318: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
319: make MKMAN=no dependall install
320: (untested).
1.89 christos 321:
322: 20030516:
323: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
324: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
325: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
326: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
327: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
328: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
329: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
330: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 331:
332: 20030402:
333: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
334: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
335: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
336: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
337: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
338: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 339:
340: 20030324:
341: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
342: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
343: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
344: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
345: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
346: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
347: configuration file is also strongly advised.
348:
349: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
350: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
351: information.
1.82 wiz 352:
353: 20030117:
354: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
355: build the included texinfo files, do:
356:
357: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
358: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 359:
360: 20021223:
361: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
362: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
363: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
364: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
365: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 366:
367: 20021219:
368: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
369: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
370:
1.93 salo 371: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 372:
373: 20021219:
374: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
375: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
376: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
377:
378: The build system was modified to take advantage of
379: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 380: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 381: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 382:
383: 20021130:
384: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
385: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
386: and rebuild libc:
387: make includes
388: make do-lib-libc
389: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
390: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 391:
392: 20021126:
393: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
394: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
395: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
396: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 397:
398: 20021121:
399: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
400: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
401: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
402: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
403: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
404: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
405: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
406: do this.
407:
408: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
409: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
410: their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 411:
412: 20021121:
413: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
414: corrected.
415:
416: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
417: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
418: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 419: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 420: to the assembler.
421:
422: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
423: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
424: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
425:
426: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
427: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
428: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
429: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
430: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
431:
432: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
433: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 434: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 435: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 436: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
437: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.

1.79 wiz 445: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 446:

451: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 452:

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

485: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
486: x86_64).
487: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 488: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This

578: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
579: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
580: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
581:
582: To fix:
583:

1.41 wiz 662: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 663: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the

1.1 abs 757:

759: Hints for a more successful build:
760: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 761: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 762: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 763: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
764: new build products from interfering with the running
765: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
766: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 767: Build a new kernel first:
768: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
769: expected by the new userland will be present. This
770: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 771: Use object directories:
772: This helps to keep stale object
773: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
774: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
775: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
776: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 777: To use object directories with build.sh:
778: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
779: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 780: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 781: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
782: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 783: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 784: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
785: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 786: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 787: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
788: from interfering with the new build.
789: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
790: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
791: environment variable before running make build. It should be
792: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
793: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
794: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
795: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
796: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 797: Build often:
798: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
799: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 800: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
801: this problem.
1.1 abs 802:
803: What to do if things don't work:
804: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
805: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
806: should be done.
807: 1) make includes
808: This should be done automatically by make build.
809: 2) cd share/mk && make install
810: Again, automatically done by make build.
811:
812: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
813: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
814: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
815: something like the following:
816: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
817: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
818: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
819: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
820: make cleandir
821: rm ...all obj directories...
822: make cleandir # yes, again
823: make obj
824: make depend && make
825:
826: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
827: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
828: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 829: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
830: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
