                      3: This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build
                      4: process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.

        !            12:        (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like fxsave which
        !            13:        old gas doesn't understand.  To build the kernel successfuly, you
        !            14:        need to build and install new gas (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new).

                     31:        was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
                     32:        make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
                     33:        timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").

                     37:

                     44:        in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable

1.23      tron       82:        anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed

1.6       ad         97:        major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev

                    109:        'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.

                    112: Hints for a more successful build:
                    113: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.2       mrg       114:     Build a new kernel first:
                    115:        This makes sure that any new system calls or features
                    116:           expected by the new userland will be present.  This
                    117:           helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1       abs       118:     Use object directories:
                    119:        This helps to keep stale object
                    120:           files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
                    121:           about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
                    122:           a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
                    123:           same source tree for multiple machines.
                    124:           To use object directories:
                    125:            a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2       mrg       126:            b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
                    127:            c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1       abs       128:            d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2       mrg       129:           Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
                    130:           in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1       abs       131:     Build to a DESTDIR:
                    132:        This helps to keep old
                    133:           installed files (especially libraries) from interfering
                    134:           with the new build.
                    135:           To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment
1.2       mrg       136:           variable before running make build.  It should be set to
                    137:           the pathname of an initially empty directory.
1.1       abs       138:           Problems: you might need to update critical utilities
                    139:                without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed
                    140:                from what is installed in DESTDIR.
                    141:                (See critical utils, below)
                    142:     Build often:
                    143:        This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
                    144:        on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
                    145:        date functionality.

                    147: What to do if things don't work:
                    148: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    149: When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
                    150: should be done.
                    151:     1) make includes
                    152:        This should be done automatically by make build.
                    153:     2)  cd share/mk && make install
                    154:        Again, automatically done by make build.

                    158: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
                    159: something like the following:
                    160:     1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
                    161:     2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
                    162:        utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
                    163:     3)  cd ...path/to/util...

1.2       mrg       173: ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
                    174: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
