                     51:        ports in using xorg-server 1.18. This requires a clean destdir

1.271     christos   60:        some of them are not autogenerated anymore. Remember that there
                     61:        might be two copies of libedit if your platform builds "compat".
1.270     christos   62:
1.268     riastrad   63: 20160410:

                     65:        PIE has been enabled for amd64.  PIE, or position-independent
                     66:        executables, means all code, including executables and not just

                     69:

                     71:        linker flags, for which make(1) does not record dependencies,
                     72:        hence it is unable to detect that all .o files need rebuilding.
                     73:
                     74:        Partial rebuilds with some modified source files will likely
                     75:        fail when linking executables, since the linker refuses to mix
                     76:        position-independent code with position-dependent code in
                     77:        position-independent executables:

1.267     mrg        81: 20160401:
                     82:        Ports switching to GCC 5.3 will need a full "make cleandir".
1.269     dholland   83:        Some people have found that cleandir is not sufficient, so if
                     84:        in doubt delete the entire object directory tree for gcc.
1.267     mrg        85:
1.266     aymeric    86: 20160306:
1.265     aymeric    87:        NetBSD's regexp implementation is now part of libnbcompat.
                     88:        Nblex, nbm4, nbpax, nbsed use it and they may crash on

                     90:        while they included a non-NetBSD regex.h.
                     91:        In any case, you should "make cleandir" at least these tools
                     92:        before updating your toolchain.

                     96:        When doing an update build, make sure to clean the etc/mtree
                     97:        object directory before starting the build - otherwise the
                     98:        needed directories in destdir will not be created.
                     99:        An easy way to do this is:
                    100:           cd src/etc/mtree && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$arch cleandir

                    107:        New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
                    108:        in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and

1.261     martin    111: 20150404:
                    112:        Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
                    113:        sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
                    114:        do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and

                    120:        external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed

                    125:        during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the

1.254     skrll     144:        advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
1.253     joerg     145:        of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.

                    149:           attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
                    150:           mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict

1.123     jmc       634:     Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132     jmmv      635:        This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123     jmc       636:           correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
                    637:           new build products from interfering with the running
                    638:           system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
                    639:           other advice in this file.
1.2       mrg       640:     Build a new kernel first:
                    641:        This makes sure that any new system calls or features
                    642:           expected by the new userland will be present.  This
                    643:           helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1       abs       644:     Use object directories:
                    645:        This helps to keep stale object
                    646:           files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
                    647:           about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
                    648:           a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
                    649:           same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123     jmc       650:           To use object directories with build.sh:
                    651:            a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
                    652:           To use object directories without using build.sh:

1.2       mrg       654:            b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
                    655:            c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1       abs       656:            d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2       mrg       657:           Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create

1.1       abs       659:     Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123     jmc       660:        This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
                    661:           from interfering with the new build.
                    662:           To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
                    663:           To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
                    664:           environment variable before running make build.  It should be
                    665:           set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
                    666:           Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
                    667:                update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
                    668:                nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
                    669:                (See critical utils, below.)
1.1       abs       670:     Build often:
                    671:        This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
                    672:        on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123     jmc       673:        date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
