                      4: changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
                      5: what to do if something doesn't work.

1.123     jmc         7: For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
                      8: using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.

                     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.

                     20:        If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
                     21:        /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
                     22:        set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.

1.180     wiz        26:        file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
                     27:        Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
1.179     tsutsui    28:        following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
                     29:
                     30:        - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
                     31:
                     32:        - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
1.180     wiz        33:          for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
1.179     tsutsui    34:
1.180     wiz        35:        If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
                     36:        the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
                     37:        file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.

                     40:        If you built and installed a libc from sources between
                     41:        2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
                     42:        which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
                     43:        Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
1.180     wiz        44:        needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
1.178     lukem      45:          $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)

                     48:        MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
                     49:        about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.

                     52:        WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
                     53:        time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
                     54:        and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
                     55:        don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
1.176     simonb     56:        especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
                     57:        also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
                     58:        can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.

                     66:        from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)

                    118:        enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
                    119:        problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
                    120:        implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon

1.1       abs       211: Hints for a more successful build:
                    212: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123     jmc       213:     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132     jmmv      214:        This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123     jmc       215:           correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
                    216:           new build products from interfering with the running
                    217:           system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
                    218:           other advice in this file.
1.2       mrg       219:     Build a new kernel first:
                    220:        This makes sure that any new system calls or features
                    221:           expected by the new userland will be present.  This
                    222:           helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1       abs       223:     Use object directories:
                    224:        This helps to keep stale object
                    225:           files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
                    226:           about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
                    227:           a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
                    228:           same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123     jmc       229:           To use object directories with build.sh:
                    230:            a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
                    231:           To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1       abs       232:            a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2       mrg       233:            b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
                    234:            c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1       abs       235:            d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2       mrg       236:           Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
                    237:           in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1       abs       238:     Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123     jmc       239:        This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
                    240:           from interfering with the new build.
                    241:           To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
                    242:           To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
                    243:           environment variable before running make build.  It should be
                    244:           set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
                    245:           Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
                    246:                update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
                    247:                nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
                    248:                (See critical utils, below.)
1.1       abs       249:     Build often:
                    250:        This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
                    251:        on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123     jmc       252:        date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
                    253:        this problem.
1.1       abs       254:
                    255: What to do if things don't work:
                    256: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    257: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
                    258: should be done.
                    259:     1) make includes
                    260:        This should be done automatically by make build.
                    261:     2)  cd share/mk && make install
                    262:        Again, automatically done by make build.

                    265: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    266: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
                    267: something like the following:
                    268:     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
                    269:     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
                    270:        utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
                    271:     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
                    272:        make cleandir
                    273:        rm ...all obj directories...
                    274:        make cleandir                   # yes, again
