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.

1.301 martin 103: 20190727:
104: The uefi bootloader has gained tftp support and needs a clean
105: build. If you do update builds, manually clean its object
106: directory by something like:
107: cd sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot && make clean
108:
1.300 martin 109: 20190723:
110: The jemalloc allocator in libc is now build without extended
111: debugging (for performance reasons). In update builds make sure
112: to rebuild it completly, by removing all affected object files,
113: including compat builds, something like:
114: cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name jemalloc|xargs rm -rf
115:
1.299 mrg 116: 20190207:
117: GCC 7 switched for many ports. Update builds are likely to fail.
118:
1.298 martin 119: 20180924:
120: A newer OpenSSL version has been imported. If you are doing
121: update builds, make sure to remove all old obj dirs, like:
122: cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name openssl | xargs rm -rf
123:
1.297 joerg 124: 20180717:
125: On aarch64 int64_t and related types have changed from long long
126: to long. This requires recompiling all C++ binaries.
127:
1.296 martin 128: 20180713:
129: On amd64 and i386 static binaries are now build position
130: independend. This requires recompilation of all object
131: files used to create the crunched /rescue binary.
132: Clean the rescue directory in your obj directory before
133: doing an update build, otherwise linking will fail.
134:
1.293 jakllsch 135: 20180414:
136: Existing binutils was migrated to binutils.old. Manual
137: removal of tools/binutils objects directory may be required
138: to fix tools build failure.
139:
1.292 mrg 140: 20180311:
141: bdftopcf was updated and may need cleaning in the
142: src/external/mit/xorg/tools/bdftopcf subdirectory if there are
143: link errors.
144:
1.291 mrg 145: 20180212:
146: between OpenSSL and GCC updates, many things may fail to build.
147: any failure that looks like GCC or openssl is best handled by
148: a clean destdir and objdir. Full cleandir and destdir deletion
149: is recommended if build failures occur.
150:
1.288 martin 151: 20171225:
152: removal of the vadvise syscall requires manual removal of all
153: associated files from the libc build object directory (including
1.289 christos 154: the .depend files) - a command like:
1.288 martin 155: cd $OBJ && find . -type d -name libc | xargs rm -rf
1.289 christos 156: For architectures that support multiple "compat" binary targets,
157: you'll need to cleanup both the regular libc directory and the
1.290 martin 158: compat ones (the above command will do that).
1.288 martin 159:
1.287 kre 160: 20171010:
161: a change to the build structure of external/bsd/acpica/bin/iasl
162: means that its objdir (or *.d and .depend at least) might need
163: to be manually removed - or a build done once without -u.
164:
1.286 mrg 165: 20170822:
166: a new version of GMP has been imported and probably
167: will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
168: in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
169: and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
170:
1.285 mrg 171: 20170816:
172: a new version of MPFR and MPC have been imported and probably
173: will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
174: in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
175: and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
176:
1.284 martin 177: 20170402:
178: a new version of dhcpcd has been imported, which does not support
179: update builds from the previous version. Remove your
180: external/bsd/dhcpcd object dir or build once without -u.
181:
1.281 roy 182: 20170211:
183: a new terminfo database has been imported.
184: The structure of it has changed slightly from prior versions and
185: an updated tic tool is required.
186: If you build.sh, don't use -u
187:
1.280 kre 188: 20170207:
1.278 kre 189: various arch dependent libc/exect.S files were removed
1.279 kre 190: Either remove the obj directories (lib/libc and compat/amd64/i386/lib
191: if it exists) or do a clean build.
192: (This is a bug in the make system, it should be corrected without
193: human intervention, but isn't.)
1.278 kre 194:
1.277 martin 195: 20170104:
196: xinput build options have changed.
197: Remove the obj directory (external/mit/xorg/bin/xinput)
198: if you build.sh -u
199:
1.276 martin 200: 20170103:
201: a new version of flex has been imported.
202: Remove the file from obj (external/bsd/flex)
203: if you build.sh -u
204:
1.275 spz 205: 20161014:
206: a new version of OpenSSL has been imported.
207: Remove the files from obj (crypto/external/bsd/openssl)
208: if you build.sh -u
209:
1.274 martin 210: 20161009:
211: a new version of dhcpcd has been imported with slightly changed
212: build infrastructure. When doing a build.sh -u this requires
213: pruning the external/bsd/dhcpcd objdir.
214:
1.273 mrg 215: 20160914:
216: i386, amd64, shark, ofppc and macppc have joined shark and x68k
217: ports in using xorg-server 1.18. This requires a clean destdir
218: and a clean objdir.
219:
1.272 dholland 220: 20160527:
221: i386 needs a full cleandir or objdir deletion because PIE has
222: been enabled. (see the amd64 entry two down for further info)
223:
1.270 christos 224: 20160418:
225: libedit needs manual removal of all autogenerated files since
1.271 christos 226: some of them are not autogenerated anymore. Remember that there
227: might be two copies of libedit if your platform builds "compat".
1.270 christos 228:
1.268 riastrad 229: 20160410:
230: amd64 needs full "make cleandir" or deletion of objdir now that
231: PIE has been enabled for amd64. PIE, or position-independent
232: executables, means all code, including executables and not just
233: shared libraries, is position-independent and hence able to be
234: relocated by ASLR, address space layout randomization.
235:
236: The change was made in Makefile variables for compiler and
237: linker flags, for which make(1) does not record dependencies,
238: hence it is unable to detect that all .o files need rebuilding.
239:
240: Partial rebuilds with some modified source files will likely
241: fail when linking executables, since the linker refuses to mix
242: position-independent code with position-dependent code in
243: position-independent executables:
244:
245: .../x86_64--netbsd/bin/ld: foo.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `...' cannot be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
246:
1.267 mrg 247: 20160401:
248: Ports switching to GCC 5.3 will need a full "make cleandir".
1.269 dholland 249: Some people have found that cleandir is not sufficient, so if
250: in doubt delete the entire object directory tree for gcc.
1.267 mrg 251:
1.266 aymeric 252: 20160306:
1.265 aymeric 253: NetBSD's regexp implementation is now part of libnbcompat.
254: Nblex, nbm4, nbpax, nbsed use it and they may crash on
255: non-NetBSD hosts if linked with stale object files produced
256: while they included a non-NetBSD regex.h.
257: In any case, you should "make cleandir" at least these tools
258: before updating your toolchain.
259:
1.264 martin 260: 20160125:
261: Dtrace has been enabled by default on some architectures.
262: When doing an update build, make sure to clean the etc/mtree
263: object directory before starting the build - otherwise the
264: needed directories in destdir will not be created.
265: An easy way to do this is:
266: cd src/etc/mtree && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$arch cleandir
267:
1.263 dholland 268: 20150818:
269: New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
270: again.
271:
1.262 christos 272: 20150413:
273: New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
274: in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
275: also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
276:
1.261 martin 277: 20150404:
278: Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
279: sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
280: do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
281: src/usr.bin/xlint.
282:
1.260 skrll 283: 20150310:
284: Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
285: the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
286: external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
287:
1.258 martin 288: 20141026:
1.259 msaitoh 289: A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
1.258 martin 290: in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
291: during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
292: directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
293: and let cvs restore it on next update.
294:
1.256 apb 295: 20140721:
296: The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
297: and then deleted in the CVS repository. If you get errors like
298:
299: cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
300: /cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
301:
302: then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
303:
1.255 joerg 304: 20140530:
305: ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
306: rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
307:
1.251 martin 308: 20140131:
1.253 joerg 309: The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
1.254 skrll 310: advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
1.253 joerg 311: of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
1.251 martin 312:
1.250 christos 313: 20131227:
314: 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
315: attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
316: mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
317: statements to avoid being exposed.
318: 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
319: to make clean in libc
320:
1.249 mrg 321: 20131129:
322: The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
323: cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
324:
1.248 mrg 325: 20131128:
326: The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
327: tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
328:
1.246 martin 329: 20130605:
1.247 spz 330: The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
331: to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
332:
333: 20130605:
1.246 martin 334: Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
335: header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
336: please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
337:
1.245 mrg 338: 20130531:
339: The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
340: in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
341: nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
342: is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
343:
1.244 mrg 344: 20130530:
345: Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
346: Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
347:
1.242 christos 348: 20130301:
349: The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
1.243 christos 350: prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
1.242 christos 351:
1.238 dholland 352: 20120726:
1.241 wiz 353: The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
354: directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
1.240 dholland 355: DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
1.241 wiz 356: some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
1.240 dholland 357: cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
1.238 dholland 358:
1.237 wiz 359: 20120507:
1.241 wiz 360: The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
1.237 wiz 361: need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
362: for the next weekly run to fix it.
363:
1.236 bsh 364: 20120319:
365: sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
366: size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
367: your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
368: you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
369: mk.conf.
370:
1.235 joerg 371: 20120216:
1.241 wiz 372: Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
373: unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
1.239 dholland 374: and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
1.241 wiz 375: /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
1.235 joerg 376: the next run of weekly will fix it.
1.233 joerg 377:
1.232 christos 378: 20111227:
379: If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
380: /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
381: bump has been reverted.
382:
1.231 tls 383: 20111125:
384: The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
385: means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
386: configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
387: removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
388:
1.230 tls 389: 20111119:
390: A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
391: utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
392: bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
393: non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
394: replace your rndctl executable too.
1.241 wiz 395:
1.229 jym 396: 20111001:
397: the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
398: changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
1.241 wiz 399: one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
1.229 jym 400: quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
401:
1.228 mrg 402: 20110817:
403: sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
404: DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
405:
1.227 riastrad 406: 20110806:
407: i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
408: objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
409:
1.226 mrg 410: 20110805:
411: The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
412: the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and

1.241 wiz 417: The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
1.225 matt 418: update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
419: for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
420: is now a directory.

1.223 joerg 422: 20110410:
1.241 wiz 423: The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an

425: tools/gcc by hand.

1.222 plunky 427: 20110328:
428: Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
1.241 wiz 429: ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
1.222 plunky 430: the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
431: if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a

1.221 lukem 435: Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
1.220 joerg 436: the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
437: correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
438: and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
1.218 joerg 439:
1.217 jruoho 440: 20101217:
441: The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)

1.217 jruoho 443: group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.

1.216 christos 445: 20101125:
446: The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
1.241 wiz 447: variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
448: assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
1.216 christos 449: old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
450: break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
451: so building gcc will end up printing:

453: configure: error: no usable dependency style found
454: Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.

1.195 perry 526: 20090501:
527: Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
528: can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
1.241 wiz 529: who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
1.195 perry 530: note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a

532: objects and start again.
533:
1.194 mrg 534: 20090325:
535: The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires

537:
1.192 skrll 538: 20090126:
1.241 wiz 539: The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
1.207 mbalmer 540: need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
541: to avoid using the old assembly stub.
1.192 skrll 542:
1.191 joerg 543: 20090202:

547:
1.184 christos 548: 20090110:
1.241 wiz 549: time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
550: 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
1.188 christos 551: This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
552: conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
1.184 christos 553: 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
554: before installing.
555: 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
1.241 wiz 556: your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
1.184 christos 557: are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
558: and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
1.241 wiz 559: libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
1.184 christos 560: the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
561: 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
1.189 hubertf 562: rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
563: Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
564: that depend on it.
1.186 christos 565: 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
566: will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
1.190 apb 567: 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
568: lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
1.241 wiz 569: for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
1.190 apb 570: upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
571: boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
572: newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
573: files manually.
574: 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
575: accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
576: removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
577: /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
578: the file.
1.196 dholland 579: 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
1.241 wiz 580: disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
1.196 dholland 581: using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
582: rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
1.185 jmcneill 583:
1.183 pgoyette 584: 20081219:
585: config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
586: swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
587: (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
588: config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
589: kernels.
590:
1.181 cube 591: 20081205:
592: If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
593: /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
594: set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.

1.182 tsutsui 597: On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
1.180 wiz 598: file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
599: Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
1.179 tsutsui 600: following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
601:
602: - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
603:
604: - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
1.180 wiz 605: for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
1.179 tsutsui 606:
1.180 wiz 607: If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
608: the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
609: file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
1.179 tsutsui 610:
1.178 lukem 611: 20080827:
612: If you built and installed a libc from sources between
613: 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
614: which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
615: Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
1.180 wiz 616: needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
1.178 lukem 617: $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
618:
1.177 christos 619: 20080813:
620: MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
1.241 wiz 621: about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
1.177 christos 622:
1.200 dholland 623: 20080802:
624: A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
1.241 wiz 625: been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
1.200 dholland 626: for -current.
627:
628: Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
629: libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
630: be recompiled.
631:

641: don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
1.176 simonb 642: especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL

1.241 wiz 651: The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
652: from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
1.173 freza 653: utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries

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

708: normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
709: sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel

1.161 dsl 718: 20070422:
719: The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
720: has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
721: to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
1.241 wiz 722: root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
1.167 wiz 723: root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
1.161 dsl 724: start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install

750: The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
751: was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
752: kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
753: library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with

1.123 jmc 800: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 801: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 802: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
803: new build products from interfering with the running
804: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
805: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 806: Build a new kernel first:
807: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
808: expected by the new userland will be present. This
809: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 810: Use object directories:
811: This helps to keep stale object
812: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
813: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
814: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
815: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 816: To use object directories with build.sh:
817: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
818: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 819: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 820: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
821: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 822: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 823: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
824: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 825: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 826: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
827: from interfering with the new build.
828: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
829: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
830: environment variable before running make build. It should be
831: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
832: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
833: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
834: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
835: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 836: Build often:
837: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
838: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 839: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
840: this problem.

1.1 abs 842: What to do if things don't work:
843: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.230 tls 844: When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
1.1 abs 845: should be done.
846: 1) make includes
847: This should be done automatically by make build.
848: 2) cd share/mk && make install
849: Again, automatically done by make build.
850:
851: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
852: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
853: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
854: something like the following:
855: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
856: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
857: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
858: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
859: make cleandir
860: rm ...all obj directories...
861: make cleandir # yes, again
862: make obj
863: make depend && make
864:
865: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
866: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
867: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 868: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
869: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
870: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

958: No such file or directory.
959: Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
960: deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
961: that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
962: contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
963: server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
964: Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
965: and try the update again.
