1.153 ! reed 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.152 2006/11/09 18:20:59 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.

1.1 abs 15:
16: Recent changes:
17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.152 christos 19: 20061108:
20: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
21: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
22: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
23: make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
24:
1.151 rpaulo 25: 20061009:
26: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
27: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
28:
1.150 bjh21 29: 20060814:
30: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
31: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
32: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
33: few years should cope.
34:
1.149 christos 35: 20060703:
36: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
37: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
38: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
39:
1.148 dogcow 40: 20060627:
41: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
42: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
43: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
44: errors will result.
45:
1.146 pavel 46: 20060526:
1.147 christos 47: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
48: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 49: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
50: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 51: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
52: with an error like:
53: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
54: non constant expression for load base
55: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
56: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
57: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
58: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
59: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
60:
1.145 martin 61: 20060131:
62: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
63: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
64: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
65: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
66: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
67:
1.144 yamt 68: 20050917:
69: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
70: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
71: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
72: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
73: to get the previous configuration.
74:
1.143 lukem 75: 20050830:
76: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
77: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
78: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
79: this in their DESTDIR.
80:
1.142 drochner 81: 20050825:
82: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
83: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
84: modified to emit the new data structures.
85: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
86: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
87:
1.139 christos 88: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 89: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
90: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 91: you can build a kernel again.
92:
1.140 yamt 93: 20050520:
94: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
95: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
96:
1.138 lukem 97: 20050417:
98: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
99: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
100: upgrade.
101:
1.136 cube 102: 20050325:
103: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
104: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
105: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 106: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
107: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
108: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
109: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 110:
1.135 jmc 111: 20050211:
112: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
113: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
114: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
115: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
116: make a build continue.
117:
1.134 christos 118: 20050109:
119: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
120: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
121: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
122: a password).
123:
1.133 christos 124: 20041229:
125: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
126: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
127: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
128: the build.
129:
1.130 christos 130: 20041201:
131: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
132: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 133: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 134:
1.129 jmc 135: 20041006:
136:
137: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
138: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
139: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
140: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
141:
142: ident /bin/sh | grep var
143:
144: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
145: before attempting a build.
146:
1.127 christos 147: 20041001:
148: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
149: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
150: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 151: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
152: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 153:
1.125 atatat 154: 20040715:
155: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
156: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
157: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
158: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
159: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
160: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
161:
162: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
163:
164: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
165: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
166: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
167: loopback interface.
168:
169: 20040715:
170: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
171: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
172: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
173:
1.124 jmc 174: 20040621:
175: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
176: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
177:
178: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 179: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 180:
181: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
182:
1.121 lukem 183: 20040516:
184: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
185: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
186: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
187: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
188:
1.126 lukem 189: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
190: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
191: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
192: manually move these files yourself.
193:
1.119 atatat 194: 20040426:
195: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
196: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
197: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
198: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
199: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
200: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
201: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
202: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
203: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
204: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 205: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
206: do the following:
1.119 atatat 207:
1.120 atatat 208: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
209: make USETOOLS=no includes
210: cd lib/libc
211: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
212: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 213: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
214:
1.122 itojun 215: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
216: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
217: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
218: make sure to follow the above steps.
219:
1.118 dbj 220: 20040425:
221: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
222: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
223: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
224: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
225: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
226: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
227: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
228: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
229: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
230: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
231:
1.115 christos 232: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 233: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 234: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
235: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
236: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
237: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 238: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
239: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 240:
1.114 jmc 241: 20040326:
242: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 243: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 244: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
245: to build it.
246:
247: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
248: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
249:
1.113 dan 250: 20040318:
251: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
252: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
253: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
254: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
255: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
256: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
257:
1.108 bjh21 258: 20040313:
259: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
260: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
261: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
262: for examples.
263:
1.106 bjh21 264: 20040125:
265: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
266: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
267: files.
1.105 bjh21 268:
1.102 dbj 269: 20040109:
270: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
271: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
272: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
273: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 274: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 275: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 276: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 277: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
278: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 279: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 280:
1.99 mrg 281: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 282: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 283: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
284: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 285:
286: 20031111:
287: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
288: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 289:
290: 20031008:
291: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
292: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
293: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 294:
1.109 dbj 295: 20031007:
1.153 ! reed 296: A sign extension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
1.111 simonb 297: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
298: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 299: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 300: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
301: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
302: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 303:
1.96 christos 304: 20030906:
305: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
306: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
307: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 308:
309: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 310: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 311: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 312: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 313:
314: 20030703:
315: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
316: build the included texinfo files, do:
317:
318: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
319: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 320:
321: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 322: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 323: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 324: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
325: make MKMAN=no dependall install
326: (untested).
1.89 christos 327:
328: 20030516:
329: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
330: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
331: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
332: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
333: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
334: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
335: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
336: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 337:
338: 20030402:
339: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
340: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
341: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
342: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
343: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
344: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 345:
346: 20030324:
347: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
348: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
349: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
350: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
351: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
352: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
353: configuration file is also strongly advised.
354:
355: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
356: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
357: information.
1.82 wiz 358:
359: 20030117:
360: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
361: build the included texinfo files, do:
362:
363: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
364: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 365:
366: 20021223:
367: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
368: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
369: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
370: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
371: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 372:
373: 20021219:
374: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
375: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
376:
1.93 salo 377: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html
1.80 lukem 378:
379: 20021219:
380: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
381: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
382: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
383:
384: The build system was modified to take advantage of
385: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 386: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 387: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 388:
389: 20021130:
390: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
391: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
392: and rebuild libc:
393: make includes
394: make do-lib-libc
395: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
396: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 397:
398: 20021126:
399: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
400: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
401: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
402: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 403:
404: 20021121:
405: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
406: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
407: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
408: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
409: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
410: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
411: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
412: do this.
413:
414: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
415: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
1.153 ! reed 416: their global constructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 417:
418: 20021121:
419: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
420: corrected.
421:
422: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
423: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
424: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 425: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 426: to the assembler.
427:
428: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
429: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
430: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
431:
432: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
433: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
434: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
435: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
436: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
437:
438: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
439: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 440: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 441: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 442: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
443: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.

445: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 446: port-arm@NetBSD.org.

457: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 458:

480: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
481: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
482: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
483: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
484: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,

584: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
585: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native

1.1 abs 763:

765: Hints for a more successful build:
766: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 767: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 768: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 769: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
770: new build products from interfering with the running
771: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
772: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 773: Build a new kernel first:
774: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
775: expected by the new userland will be present. This
776: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 777: Use object directories:
778: This helps to keep stale object
779: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
780: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
781: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
782: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 783: To use object directories with build.sh:
784: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
785: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 786: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 787: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
788: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 789: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 790: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
791: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 792: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 793: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
794: from interfering with the new build.
795: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
796: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
797: environment variable before running make build. It should be
798: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
799: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
800: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
801: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
802: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 803: Build often:
804: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
805: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 806: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
807: this problem.
1.1 abs 808:
809: What to do if things don't work:
810: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
811: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
812: should be done.
813: 1) make includes
814: This should be done automatically by make build.
815: 2) cd share/mk && make install
816: Again, automatically done by make build.
817:
818: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
819: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
820: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
821: something like the following:
822: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
823: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
824: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
825: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
826: make cleandir
827: rm ...all obj directories...
828: make cleandir # yes, again
829: make obj
830: make depend && make
831:
832: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
833: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
834: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 835: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
836: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
