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.

1.123     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.

                     23:        i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
                     24:        objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.

                     27:        The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
                     28:        the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
                     29:        DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
                     30:        sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.

                     33:        The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
                     34:        update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
                     35:        for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
                     36:        is now a directory.

                     40:        update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
                     41:        tools/gcc by hand.

                     44:        Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
                     45:        ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
                     46:        the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
                     47:        if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
                     48:        directory.

1.221     lukem      51:        Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
1.220     joerg      52:        the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
                     53:        correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
                     54:        and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.

                     57:        The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
                     58:        by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
                     59:        group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.

                     63:        variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
                     64:        assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
                     65:        old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
                     66:        break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
                     67:        so building gcc will end up printing:
                     68:            checking dependency style of gcc... none
                     69:            configure: error: no usable dependency style found
                     70:        Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.

                     80:        unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
                     81:        you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/

                    100:        libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from

                    105:        but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
                    106:        from the system when upgrading.
                    107:        As such, you will need to remove them from your object
                    108:        and destination directories.

                    145:        who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you

                    161:        detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with

                    166:        1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
1.188     christos  167:           This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
                    168:           conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
1.184     christos  169:        2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
                    170:           before installing.
                    171:        3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
1.187     dholland  172:           your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
1.184     christos  173:           are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
                    174:           and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
                    175:           libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
                    176:           the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
                    177:        4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
1.189     hubertf   178:           rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
                    179:           Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
                    180:           that depend on it.
1.186     christos  181:        5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
                    182:           will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
1.190     apb       183:        6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
                    184:           lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
                    185:           for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
                    186:           upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
                    187:           boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
                    188:           newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
                    189:           files manually.
                    190:        7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
                    191:           accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
                    192:           removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
                    193:           /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
                    194:           the file.
1.196     dholland  195:        8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
                    196:           disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
                    197:           using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
                    198:           rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.

                    203:        (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun

1.1       abs       414: Hints for a more successful build:
                    415: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123     jmc       416:     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132     jmmv      417:        This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123     jmc       418:           correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
                    419:           new build products from interfering with the running
                    420:           system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
                    421:           other advice in this file.
1.2       mrg       422:     Build a new kernel first:
                    423:        This makes sure that any new system calls or features
                    424:           expected by the new userland will be present.  This
                    425:           helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1       abs       426:     Use object directories:
                    427:        This helps to keep stale object
                    428:           files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
                    429:           about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
                    430:           a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
                    431:           same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123     jmc       432:           To use object directories with build.sh:
                    433:            a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
                    434:           To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1       abs       435:            a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2       mrg       436:            b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
                    437:            c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1       abs       438:            d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2       mrg       439:           Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
                    440:           in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1       abs       441:     Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123     jmc       442:        This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
                    443:           from interfering with the new build.
                    444:           To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
                    445:           To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
                    446:           environment variable before running make build.  It should be
                    447:           set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
                    448:           Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
                    449:                update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
                    450:                nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
                    451:                (See critical utils, below.)
1.1       abs       452:     Build often:
                    453:        This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
                    454:        on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123     jmc       455:        date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
                    456:        this problem.
1.1       abs       457:
                    458: What to do if things don't work:
                    459: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    460: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
                    461: should be done.
                    462:     1) make includes
                    463:        This should be done automatically by make build.
                    464:     2)  cd share/mk && make install
                    465:        Again, automatically done by make build.

                    469: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
                    470: something like the following:
                    471:     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
                    472:     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
                    473:        utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
                    474:     3)  cd ...path/to/util...
                    475:        make cleandir
                    476:        rm ...all obj directories...
