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.
13:
14: See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.

16: Recent changes:
17: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.138 lukem 18:
1.161 dsl 19: 20070422:
20: The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
21: has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
22: to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
23: root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
24: root filesytem will be relative to that filesystem - unless they
25: start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
26: that has such links.
27: This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
28: the emulated root.
29:
1.160 jmcneill 30: 20070412:
31: The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
32: instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
33: example.
34:
1.159 gdt 35: 20070319:
36: src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
37: on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
38: updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
39: cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
40: rebuild of object files that might have been built
41: incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
42: src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
43:
1.158 dbj 44: 20070210:
45: src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
46: find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
47: | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
48: will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
49:
1.157 apb 50: 20070209:
51: The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
52: was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
53: kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
54: library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
55: an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
56: (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
57: the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
58: continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
59: is the only threaded application in the base system.
60:
1.154 he 61: 20061214:
62: Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
63: from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
64: will need to do a "make cleandir" in
65: tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
66: bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
1.156 he 67: usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
68: as the installation images in distrib/
1.154 he 69: in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
70: file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
71:
1.152 christos 72: 20061108:
73: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
74: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
75: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
76: make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
77:
1.151 rpaulo 78: 20061009:
79: The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
80: available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
81:
1.150 bjh21 82: 20060814:
83: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
84: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
85: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
86: few years should cope.
87:
1.149 christos 88: 20060703:
89: MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
90: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
91: to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
92:
1.148 dogcow 93: 20060627:
94: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
95: For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
96: your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
97: errors will result.
98:
1.1 abs 99: Hints for a more successful build:
100: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 101: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 102: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 103: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
104: new build products from interfering with the running
105: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
106: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 107: Build a new kernel first:
108: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
109: expected by the new userland will be present. This
110: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 111: Use object directories:
112: This helps to keep stale object
113: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
114: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
115: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
116: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 117: To use object directories with build.sh:
118: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
119: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 120: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 121: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
122: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 123: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 124: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
125: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 126: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 127: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
128: from interfering with the new build.
129: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
130: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
131: environment variable before running make build. It should be
132: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
133: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
134: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
135: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
136: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 137: Build often:
138: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
139: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 140: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
141: this problem.
1.1 abs 142:
143: What to do if things don't work:
144: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
145: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
146: should be done.
147: 1) make includes
148: This should be done automatically by make build.
149: 2) cd share/mk && make install
150: Again, automatically done by make build.
151:
152: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
153: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
154: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
155: something like the following:
156: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
157: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
158: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
159: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
160: make cleandir
161: rm ...all obj directories...
162: make cleandir # yes, again
163: make obj
164: make depend && make
165:
166: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
167: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
168: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 169: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
170: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
171: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
