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.
13:
1.257 apb 14: Sections are marked with "^^^^^". After the section on "Recent changes"
15: are several sections containing more general information.

1.309 christos 22: 20200614:
1.310 ! christos 23: blacklist* has been renamed to blocklist*. postinstall(8)
! 24: should handle the migration
1.309 christos 25:
1.308 christos 26: 20200601:
27: Due to a mistake in LIBISPRIVATE handling, .so libraries were
28: created in the build directories and need cleaning.
29:
1.307 mrg 30: 20200311:
31: GCC 8 ports will need cleaning in src/tools/gcc and
32: src/external/gpl3/gcc due to GCC 8.4 update.
33:
1.306 christos 34: 20191118:
35: More architectures were switched to gcc8:
36: i386, ia64 powerpc64, sparc, sparc64, arm
37: The same comments as in 20191022 apply.
38:
1.305 martin 39: 20191112:
40: The LLVM update requires a clean rebuild for all architectures using
41: LLVM during the tools build phase (i386, amd64, aarch64).
42:
1.304 martin 43: 20191022:
44: Ports amd64 and aarch64 switched to GCC 8.3 by default.
45: In-place ("expert mode", build.sh -E) builds are not supported
46: when going from a GCC 7 userland to GCC 8. Do a regular
47: build to a different DESTDIR (or preferably: build.sh -U) at least
1.306 christos 48: once and install sets, or download comp.{tar.xz,tgz} from the
1.304 martin 49: daily builds and install that before doing the next in-place build.
50:
1.303 mrg 51: 20191001:
52: GCC 8.3 was imported. Builds of src/tools/gcc may fail if
53: old builds with GCC 7 output now uses GCC 8. Clean this
54: directory, and also clean src/external/gpl3/gcc.
55:
1.302 riastrad 56: 20190903:
1.306 christos 57: Files with names that coincide with existing files' names on
1.302 riastrad 58: case-insensitive file systems were inadvertently committed, for
59: radeon GPU firmware. We cannot mark these as obsolete for
60: postinstall to fix, so if you updated src since 2019-08-26, and
61: ran build.sh distribution or ran build.sh release, you must
62: manually delete the following files in your DESTDIR (which is
63: usually $OBJDIR/destir.$ARCH), or from / if you have installed
64: them:

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

1.222 plunky 463: the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86

1.221 lukem 468: Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
1.220 joerg 469: the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled

1.241 wiz 582: time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
583: 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
1.188 christos 584: This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
585: conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
1.184 christos 586: 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
587: before installing.
588: 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
1.241 wiz 589: your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
1.184 christos 590: are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
591: and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
1.241 wiz 592: libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
1.184 christos 593: the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
594: 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
1.189 hubertf 595: rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
596: Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
597: that depend on it.
1.186 christos 598: 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
599: will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
1.190 apb 600: 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
601: lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
1.241 wiz 602: for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
1.190 apb 603: upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
604: boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
605: newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
606: files manually.
607: 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
608: accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
609: removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
610: /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
611: the file.
1.196 dholland 612: 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
1.241 wiz 613: disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
1.196 dholland 614: using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,

620: (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
621: config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those

1.181 cube 624: 20081205:
625: If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and

805: The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
806: changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
1.241 wiz 807: does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to

815: The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
816: withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
817: kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last

822: if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed

826: socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.

1.1 abs 831: Hints for a more successful build:
832: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 833: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 834: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 835: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
836: new build products from interfering with the running
837: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
838: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 839: Build a new kernel first:
840: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
841: expected by the new userland will be present. This
842: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 843: Use object directories:
844: This helps to keep stale object
845: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
846: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
847: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
848: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 849: To use object directories with build.sh:
850: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
851: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 852: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 853: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
854: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 855: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 856: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
857: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 858: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 859: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
860: from interfering with the new build.
861: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
862: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
863: environment variable before running make build. It should be
864: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
865: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
866: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
867: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
868: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 869: Build often:
870: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
871: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 872: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
873: this problem.
1.241 wiz 874:
1.1 abs 875: What to do if things don't work:
876: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.230 tls 877: When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
1.1 abs 878: should be done.
879: 1) make includes
880: This should be done automatically by make build.
881: 2) cd share/mk && make install
882: Again, automatically done by make build.
883:
884: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
885: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
886: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
887: something like the following:
888: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
889: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
890: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
891: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
892: make cleandir
893: rm ...all obj directories...
894: make cleandir # yes, again
895: make obj
896: make depend && make
897:
898: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
899: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
900: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 901: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
902: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
903: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

994: that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
995: contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
996: server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
997: Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
998: and try the update again.
