1.160 ! jmcneill 1: $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.159 2007/03/25 16:23:04 gdt 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:
1.160 ! jmcneill 19: 20070412:
! 20: The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
! 21: instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
! 22: example.
! 23:
1.159 gdt 24: 20070319:
25: src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
26: on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
27: updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
28: cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
29: rebuild of object files that might have been built
30: incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
31: src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
32:
1.158 dbj 33: 20070210:
34: src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
35: find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
36: | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
37: will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
38:
1.157 apb 39: 20070209:
40: The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
41: was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
42: kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
43: library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
44: an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
45: (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
46: the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
47: continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
48: is the only threaded application in the base system.
49:
1.154 he 50: 20061214:
51: Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
52: from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
53: will need to do a "make cleandir" in
54: tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
55: bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
1.156 he 56: usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
57: as the installation images in distrib/
1.154 he 58: in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
59: file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
60:
1.152 christos 61: 20061108:
62: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
63: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
64: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
65: make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
66:
1.151 rpaulo 67: 20061009:
68: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
69: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
70:
1.150 bjh21 71: 20060814:
72: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
73: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
74: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
75: few years should cope.
76:
1.149 christos 77: 20060703:
78: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
79: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
80: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
81:
1.148 dogcow 82: 20060627:
83: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
84: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
85: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
86: errors will result.
87:
1.146 pavel 88: 20060526:
1.147 christos 89: The kernel linker scripts for i386 and xen
90: (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146 pavel 91: load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
92: (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147 christos 93: will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
94: with an error like:
95: ../../../../arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript:45 \
96: non constant expression for load base
97: You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
98: and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
99: way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
100: that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
101: installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.
102:
1.145 martin 103: 20060131:
104: the protocol between the sparc64 bootloader (ofwboot) and
105: the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
106: you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
107: /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
108: src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.
109:
1.144 yamt 110: 20050917:
111: arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which
112: contains MI options previously enabled by default.
113: If you have kernel config files which doesn't include
114: arch/*/conf/std.*, you need to edit them to include conf/std
115: to get the previous configuration.
116:
1.143 lukem 117: 20050830:
118: named.conf was moved from /etc/namedb to /etc.
119: postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.
120: Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify
121: this in their DESTDIR.
122:
1.142 drochner 123: 20050825:
124: Some data structures in sys/device.h, related to interface
125: attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
126: modified to emit the new data structures.
127: Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel
128: configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.
129:
1.139 christos 130: 20050531:
1.141 augustss 131: genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
132: tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
1.139 christos 133: you can build a kernel again.
134:
1.140 yamt 135: 20050520:
136: Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,
137: xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.
138:
1.138 lukem 139: 20050417:
140: postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
141: of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
142: upgrade.
143:
1.136 cube 144: 20050325:
145: pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4). Be sure
146: to add a config line for an attimer(4) device in your kernel
147: configuration, or you won't be able to set the pitch of the beep
1.137 cube 148: with wsconsctl. Depending on the default value for the pitch, you
149: might even not hear any more beep. Also, it is advised to attach both
150: devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the
151: pcppi(4) device may fail to find the attimer(4) one.
1.136 cube 152:
1.135 jmc 153: 20050211:
154: Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
155: some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
156: cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
157: different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
158: make a build continue.
159:
1.134 christos 160: 20050109:
161: Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
162: /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
163: for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
164: a password).
165:
1.133 christos 166: 20041229:
167: Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
168: being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
169: you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
170: the build.
171:
1.130 christos 172: 20041201:
173: Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
174: /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
1.131 wiz 175: MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
1.99 mrg 176:
1.129 jmc 177: 20041006:
178:
179: A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
180: variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
181: will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
182: on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
183:
184: ident /bin/sh | grep var
185:
186: Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
187: before attempting a build.
188:
1.127 christos 189: 20041001:
190: The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
191: dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
192: dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
1.128 he 193: before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
194: ftp-proxy are the victims).
1.127 christos 195:
1.125 atatat 196: 20040715:
197: The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
198: if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
199: contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
200: owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
201: to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
202: are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
203:
204: Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
205:
206: If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
207: local delivery, it is important that you also update your
208: sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
209: loopback interface.
210:
211: 20040715:
212: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
213: kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
214: of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
215:
1.124 jmc 216: 20040621:
217: Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
218: from a clean objdir under tools/*.
219:
220: This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
1.125 atatat 221: to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
1.124 jmc 222:
223: The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
224:
1.121 lukem 225: 20040516:
226: The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
227: from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
228: Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
229: "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
230:
1.126 lukem 231: postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
232: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
233: detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
234: manually move these files yourself.
235:
1.119 atatat 236: 20040426:
237: Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
238: been removed in favor of the newer layout. This affects
239: consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
240: the dynamic discovery mechanism. This is believed only to
241: be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
242: the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
243: built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
244: will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
245: 2004/04/25. If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
246: does not work, make sure that your revision of
1.120 atatat 247: src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
248: do the following:
1.119 atatat 249:
1.120 atatat 250: cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
251: make USETOOLS=no includes
252: cd lib/libc
253: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
254: cd ../../sbin/sysctl
1.119 atatat 255: make USETOOLS=no dependall install
256:
1.122 itojun 257: If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
258: identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
259: "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that. if that happens,
260: make sure to follow the above steps.
261:
1.118 dbj 262: 20040425:
263: The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
264: are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
265: sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
266: invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
267: automated by those scripts. Note that under certain circumstances,
268: affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
269: upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
270: encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
271: filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
272: possible. For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
273:
1.115 christos 274: 20040418:
1.121 lukem 275: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
1.115 christos 276: installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
277: a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
278: build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
279: clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
1.116 christos 280: anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
281: from the libc build directory.
1.115 christos 282:
1.114 jmc 283: 20040326:
284: The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
1.117 jmc 285: has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
1.114 jmc 286: and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
287: to build it.
288:
289: This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
290: building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
291:
1.113 dan 292: 20040318:
293: A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
294: provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
295: notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
296: ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
297: recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
298: (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
299:
1.108 bjh21 300: 20040313:
301: On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
302: the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
303: will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
304: for examples.
305:
1.106 bjh21 306: 20040125:
307: On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
308: needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
309: files.
1.105 bjh21 310:
1.102 dbj 311: 20040109:
312: Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
313: added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
314: when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
315: since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
1.110 dbj 316: superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
1.111 simonb 317: an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
1.109 dbj 318: to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
1.111 simonb 319: been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
320: See the following discussion for more information:
1.112 keihan 321: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
1.102 dbj 322:
1.99 mrg 323: 20031203:
1.100 keihan 324: New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
1.99 mrg 325: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
326: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.98 wiz 327:
328: 20031111:
329: A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
330: cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
1.97 lukem 331:
332: 20031008:
333: /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
334: It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
335: the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
1.96 christos 336:
1.109 dbj 337: 20031007:
1.153 reed 338: A sign extension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
1.111 simonb 339: of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
340: affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
1.109 dbj 341: A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
1.111 simonb 342: should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
343: to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
344: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
1.109 dbj 345:
1.96 christos 346: 20030906:
347: With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
348: code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
349: kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
1.94 christos 350:
351: 20030801:
1.95 wiz 352: With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
1.94 christos 353: rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
1.95 wiz 354: /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
1.92 wiz 355:
356: 20030703:
357: Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
358: build the included texinfo files, do:
359:
360: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
361: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.90 wiz 362:
363: 20030630:
1.101 junyoung 364: Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
1.91 wiz 365: cd share/mk && make install
1.90 wiz 366: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
367: make MKMAN=no dependall install
368: (untested).
1.89 christos 369:
370: 20030516:
371: Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
372: were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
373: mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
374: been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
375: export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
376: make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
377: file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
378: a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
1.87 bjh21 379:
380: 20030402:
381: The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
382: fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
383: with the first alternate, because they compare too many
384: fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
385: your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
386: None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
1.85 atatat 387:
388: 20030324:
389: sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
390: now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
391: mode for most common activities, there is a new config
392: file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
393: The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
394: is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
395: configuration file is also strongly advised.
396:
397: See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
398: the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
399: information.
1.82 wiz 400:
401: 20030117:
402: Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
403: build the included texinfo files, do:
404:
405: cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
406: make MKINFO=no dependall install
1.81 lukem 407:
408: 20021223:
409: The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
410: "${DESTDIR}" from path names.
411: This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
412: For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
413: update tools/mtree, before running make build.
1.88 itojun 414:
415: 20021219:
416: CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details

422: install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
423: alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
424: of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
425:
426: The build system was modified to take advantage of
427: this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
1.83 kei 428: use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
1.80 lukem 429: reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
1.78 lukem 430:
431: 20021130:
432: fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
433: If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
434: and rebuild libc:
435: make includes
436: make do-lib-libc
437: If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
438: before rebuilding the tools.
1.77 lukem 439:

441: The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
442: including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
443: All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
444: /usr/include.
1.76 thorpej 445:
446: 20021121:
447: The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
448: (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
449: split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
450: This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
451: new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
452: libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
453: required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
454: do this.
455:
456: An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
457: which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
1.153 reed 458: their global constructors/destructors will not be invoked.
1.75 thorpej 459:
460: 20021121:
461: A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
462: corrected.
463:
464: NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
465: default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
466: objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
1.79 wiz 467: compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
1.75 thorpej 468: to the assembler.
469:
470: Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
471: old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
472: incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
473:
474: The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
475: a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
476: against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
477: markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
478: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.
479:
480: The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
481: the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
1.79 wiz 482: system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
1.93 salo 483: generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
1.75 thorpej 484: have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
485: if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
486:
487: If you have questions about this matter, please contact
1.93 salo 488: port-arm@NetBSD.org.

492: Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
1.79 wiz 493: to be rebuilt.
1.72 thorpej 494:
495: 20021010:
496: The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
497: dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
498: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
499: kernel.
1.70 thorpej 500:
501: 20021009:
502: A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
503: which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
1.71 wiz 504: must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
1.70 thorpej 505: kernel.
1.69 thorpej 506:
507: 20021003:
508: Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
509: framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
510: before building a new kernel.
1.74 jschauma 511:
512: 20021001:
513: The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
514: will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
515: file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
516: ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
517: options MULTIPROCESSOR
518: options COM_MPLOCK
1.68 lukem 519:
520: 20020922:
521: MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
522: certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
523: linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
524: and /sbin are dynamically linked.
525: If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
526: you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
527: with:

532: - TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
533: there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
534: x86_64).
535: - EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
1.79 wiz 536: root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
1.67 lukem 537: enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
538: platforms.
1.66 gehenna 539:

545: Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
546: are now provided in /rescue.
547:
548: To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
549: what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
550: from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
551:
552: 20020820:
553: crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
554: is statically linked.

582: the build process).
1.60 sommerfe 583:

585: NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
1.59 lukem 586:
587: 20020426:
588: etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
589: configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
590: the problems identified.
591: This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
592: configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
1.56 lukem 593:
594: 20020320:
1.79 wiz 595: <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.

1.56 lukem 597:
1.55 itojun 598: 20020319:
1.79 wiz 599: Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
600: on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
1.55 itojun 601: newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
602:
1.54 itojun 603: 20020311:
604: ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
605: if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
606: to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
607:
608: 20020223:
1.53 matt 609: Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
610: so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
611: the VAX assembly files.
612:
1.50 itojun 613: 20020118:
614: ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds

626: If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
627: reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
628: toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
629:
630: To fix:
631:
632: Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
633: Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
634:
635: gnu/lib/libgcc
1.51 pooka 636: gnu/lib/libstdc++

1.46 thorpej 652: 20011128:
653: Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
654: the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are

1.44 tv 663: 20011029:
664: The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
665: see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
666: procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
667: build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
668: manual update log.
669:
670: Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
671: BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
672: UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
673: by the new build system.
1.42 perry 674:

1.64 sommerfe 709: 20010803:
1.41 wiz 710: (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
1.111 simonb 711: `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
1.64 sommerfe 712: kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
713: (i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
714: from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
715: See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.

731: Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
732: was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
733: make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the

735:
736: The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
737: if you have a stale dependency.
738:

740: before starting your build.
1.26 thorpej 741:

1.1 abs 805:

807: Hints for a more successful build:
808: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 809: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 810: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 811: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
812: new build products from interfering with the running
813: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
814: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 815: Build a new kernel first:
816: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
817: expected by the new userland will be present. This
818: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 819: Use object directories:
820: This helps to keep stale object
821: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
822: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
823: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
824: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 825: To use object directories with build.sh:
826: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
827: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 828: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 829: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
830: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 831: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 832: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
833: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 834: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 835: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
836: from interfering with the new build.
837: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
838: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
839: environment variable before running make build. It should be
840: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
841: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
842: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
843: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
844: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 845: Build often:
846: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
847: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 848: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
849: this problem.
1.1 abs 850:
851: What to do if things don't work:
852: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
853: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
854: should be done.
855: 1) make includes
856: This should be done automatically by make build.
857: 2) cd share/mk && make install
858: Again, automatically done by make build.
859:
860: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
861: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
862: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
863: something like the following:
864: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
865: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
866: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
867: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
868: make cleandir
869: rm ...all obj directories...
870: make cleandir # yes, again
871: make obj
872: make depend && make
873:
