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.

1.158 ! dbj 19: 20070210:
! 20: src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
! 21: find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
! 22: | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
! 23: will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt

1.157 apb 25: 20070209:
26: The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
27: was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
28: kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
29: library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
30: an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
31: (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
32: the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
33: continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
34: is the only threaded application in the base system.
35:
1.154 he 36: 20061214:
37: Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
38: from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
39: will need to do a "make cleandir" in
40: tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
41: bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
1.156 he 42: usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
43: as the installation images in distrib/
1.154 he 44: in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
45: file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
46:
1.152 christos 47: 20061108:
48: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
49: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
50: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
51: make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
52:
1.151 rpaulo 53: 20061009:
54: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
55: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
56:
1.150 bjh21 57: 20060814:
58: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
59: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
60: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
61: few years should cope.
62:
1.149 christos 63: 20060703:
64: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
65: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
66: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
67:
1.148 dogcow 68: 20060627:
69: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
70: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
71: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
72: errors will result.
73:
1.146 pavel 74: 20060526:
1.147 christos 75: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
76: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 77: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
78: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 79: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
80: with an error like:
81: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
82: non constant expression for load base
83: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
84: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
85: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
86: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
87: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
88:
1.145 martin 89: 20060131:
90: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
91: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
92: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
93: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
94: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
95:
1.144 yamt 96: 20050917:
97: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
98: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
99: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
100: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
101: to get the previous configuration.
102:
1.143 lukem 103: 20050830:
104: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
105: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
106: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
107: this in their DESTDIR.
108:
1.142 drochner 109: 20050825:
110: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
111: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
112: modified to emit the new data structures.
113: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
114: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
115:
1.139 christos 116: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 117: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
118: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 119: you can build a kernel again.
120:
1.140 yamt 121: 20050520:
122: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
123: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
124:
1.138 lukem 125: 20050417:
126: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
127: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
128: upgrade.
129:
1.136 cube 130: 20050325:
131: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
132: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
133: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 134: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
135: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
136: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
137: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 138:
1.135 jmc 139: 20050211:
140: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
141: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
142: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
143: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
144: make a build continue.
145:
1.134 christos 146: 20050109:
147: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
148: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
149: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
150: a password).
151:
1.133 christos 152: 20041229:
153: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
154: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
155: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
156: the build.
157:
1.130 christos 158: 20041201:
159: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
160: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 161: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 162:
1.129 jmc 163: 20041006:
164:
165: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
166: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
167: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
168: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
169:
170: ident /bin/sh | grep var
171:
172: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
173: before attempting a build.
174:
1.127 christos 175: 20041001:
176: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
177: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
178: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 179: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
180: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 181:
1.125 atatat 182: 20040715:
183: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
184: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
185: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
186: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
187: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
188: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
189:
190: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
191:
192: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
193: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
194: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
195: loopback interface.
196:
197: 20040715:
198: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
199: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
200: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
201:
1.124 jmc 202: 20040621:
203: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
204: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
205:
206: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 207: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 208:
209: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
210:
1.121 lukem 211: 20040516:
212: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
213: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
214: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
215: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
216:
1.126 lukem 217: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
218: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
219: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
220: manually move these files yourself.
221:
1.119 atatat 222: 20040426:
223: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
224: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
225: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
226: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
227: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
228: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
229: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
230: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
231: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
232: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 233: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
234: do the following:
1.119 atatat 235:
1.120 atatat 236: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
237: make USETOOLS=no includes
238: cd lib/libc
239: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
240: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 241: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
242:
1.122 itojun 243: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
244: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
245: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
246: make sure to follow the above steps.
247:
1.118 dbj 248: 20040425:
249: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
250: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
251: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
252: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
253: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
254: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
255: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
256: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
257: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
258: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
259:
1.115 christos 260: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 261: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 262: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
263: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
264: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
265: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 266: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
267: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 268:
1.114 jmc 269: 20040326:
270: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 271: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 272: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
273: to build it.
274:
275: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
276: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
277:
1.113 dan 278: 20040318:
279: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
280: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
281: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
282: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
283: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
284: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
285:
1.108 bjh21 286: 20040313:
287: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
288: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
289: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
290: for examples.
291:
1.106 bjh21 292: 20040125:
293: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
294: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
295: files.
1.105 bjh21 296:
1.102 dbj 297: 20040109:
298: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
299: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
300: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
301: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 302: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 303: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 304: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 305: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
306: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 307: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 308:
1.99 mrg 309: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 310: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 311: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
312: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 313:

319: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
320: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
321: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 322:
1.109 dbj 323: 20031007:
1.153 reed 324: A sign extension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
1.111 simonb 325: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
326: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 327: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 328: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
329: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
330: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 331:
1.96 christos 332: 20030906:
333: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
334: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
335: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 336:
337: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 338: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 339: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 340: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 341:
342: 20030703:
343: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
344: build the included texinfo files, do:
345:
346: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
347: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 348:
349: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 350: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 351: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 352: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
353: make MKMAN=no dependall install
354: (untested).
1.89 christos 355:
356: 20030516:
357: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
358: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
359: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
360: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
361: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
362: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
363: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
364: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 365:
366: 20030402:
367: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
368: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
369: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
370: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
371: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
372: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 373:
374: 20030324:
375: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
376: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
377: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
378: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
379: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
380: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
381: configuration file is also strongly advised.
382:
383: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
384: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
385: information.
1.82 wiz 386:
387: 20030117:
388: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
389: build the included texinfo files, do:
390:

392: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 393:
394: 20021223:
395: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
396: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
397: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
398: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
399: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 400:
401: 20021219:
402: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
403: if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.

408: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
409: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
410: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
411:
412: The build system was modified to take advantage of
413: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 414: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 415: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.

427: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,

433: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
434: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
435: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
436: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
437: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
438: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
439: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
440: do this.
441:
442: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
443: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
1.153 reed 444: their global constructors/destructors will not be invoked.

446: 20021121:
447: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
448: corrected.
449:
450: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
451: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
452: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 453: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 454: to the assembler.
455:
456: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
457: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
458: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
459:
460: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
461: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
462: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
463: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
464: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
465:
466: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
467: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 468: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 469: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 470: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
471: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
472:
473: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 474: port-arm@NetBSD.org.

793: Hints for a more successful build:
794: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 795: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 796: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 797: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
798: new build products from interfering with the running
799: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
800: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 801: Build a new kernel first:
802: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
803: expected by the new userland will be present. This
804: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 805: Use object directories:
806: This helps to keep stale object
807: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
808: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
809: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
810: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 811: To use object directories with build.sh:
812: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
813: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 814: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 815: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
816: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 817: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 818: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
819: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 820: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 821: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
822: from interfering with the new build.
823: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
824: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
825: environment variable before running make build. It should be
826: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
827: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
828: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
829: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
830: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 831: Build often:
832: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
833: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 834: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
835: this problem.
1.1 abs 836:
837: What to do if things don't work:
838: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
839: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
840: should be done.
841: 1) make includes
842: This should be done automatically by make build.
843: 2) cd share/mk && make install
844: Again, automatically done by make build.
845:
846: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
847: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
848: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
849: something like the following:
850: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
851: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
852: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
853: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
854: make cleandir
855: rm ...all obj directories...
856: make cleandir # yes, again
857: make obj
858: make depend && make
859:
860: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
861: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
862: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 863: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
864: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
865: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
