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.

1.230 tls 21:
1.314 ! mrg 22: 20200912:
! 23: GCC 9 has arrived for Arm and x86 platforms, and will be coming
! 24: for several more, as will binutils 2.34. Clean as required.
! 25:
1.313 mrg 26: 20200907:
27: GCC 9 is coming, and binutils has been updated for MIPS. This
28: probably requires cleaning the tools/binutils.
29:
1.311 mrg 30: 20200811:
1.312 mrg 31: GCC updates may require cleaning the objdir. This may occur
32: due to GCC 7.5 update, GCC 8.4 move to gcc.old, or the upcoming
33: GCC 9 upgrade.
1.311 mrg 34:
1.309 christos 35: 20200614:
1.310 christos 36: blacklist* has been renamed to blocklist*. postinstall(8)
37: should handle the migration
1.309 christos 38:
1.308 christos 39: 20200601:
40: Due to a mistake in LIBISPRIVATE handling, .so libraries were
41: created in the build directories and need cleaning.
42:
1.307 mrg 43: 20200311:
44: GCC 8 ports will need cleaning in src/tools/gcc and
45: src/external/gpl3/gcc due to GCC 8.4 update.
46:
1.306 christos 47: 20191118:
48: More architectures were switched to gcc8:
49: i386, ia64 powerpc64, sparc, sparc64, arm
50: The same comments as in 20191022 apply.
51:
1.305 martin 52: 20191112:
53: The LLVM update requires a clean rebuild for all architectures using
54: LLVM during the tools build phase (i386, amd64, aarch64).
55:
1.304 martin 56: 20191022:
57: Ports amd64 and aarch64 switched to GCC 8.3 by default.
58: In-place ("expert mode", build.sh -E) builds are not supported
59: when going from a GCC 7 userland to GCC 8. Do a regular
60: build to a different DESTDIR (or preferably: build.sh -U) at least
1.306 christos 61: once and install sets, or download comp.{tar.xz,tgz} from the
1.304 martin 62: daily builds and install that before doing the next in-place build.
63:
1.303 mrg 64: 20191001:
65: GCC 8.3 was imported. Builds of src/tools/gcc may fail if
66: old builds with GCC 7 output now uses GCC 8. Clean this
67: directory, and also clean src/external/gpl3/gcc.
68:
1.302 riastrad 69: 20190903:
1.306 christos 70: Files with names that coincide with existing files' names on
1.302 riastrad 71: case-insensitive file systems were inadvertently committed, for
72: radeon GPU firmware. We cannot mark these as obsolete for
73: postinstall to fix, so if you updated src since 2019-08-26, and
74: ran build.sh distribution or ran build.sh release, you must
75: manually delete the following files in your DESTDIR (which is
76: usually $OBJDIR/destir.$ARCH), or from / if you have installed
77: them:

146: We will re-import these radeon firmware images another way
147: later.
148:
1.301 martin 149: 20190727:
150: The uefi bootloader has gained tftp support and needs a clean
151: build. If you do update builds, manually clean its object
152: directory by something like:
153: cd sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot && make clean
154:
1.300 martin 155: 20190723:
156: The jemalloc allocator in libc is now build without extended
157: debugging (for performance reasons). In update builds make sure
158: to rebuild it completly, by removing all affected object files,
159: including compat builds, something like:
160: cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name jemalloc|xargs rm -rf
161:
1.299 mrg 162: 20190207:
163: GCC 7 switched for many ports. Update builds are likely to fail.
164:
1.298 martin 165: 20180924:
166: A newer OpenSSL version has been imported. If you are doing
167: update builds, make sure to remove all old obj dirs, like:
168: cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name openssl | xargs rm -rf
169:
1.297 joerg 170: 20180717:
171: On aarch64 int64_t and related types have changed from long long
172: to long. This requires recompiling all C++ binaries.
173:
1.296 martin 174: 20180713:
175: On amd64 and i386 static binaries are now build position
176: independend. This requires recompilation of all object
177: files used to create the crunched /rescue binary.
178: Clean the rescue directory in your obj directory before
179: doing an update build, otherwise linking will fail.
180:
1.293 jakllsch 181: 20180414:
182: Existing binutils was migrated to binutils.old. Manual
183: removal of tools/binutils objects directory may be required
184: to fix tools build failure.
185:
1.292 mrg 186: 20180311:
187: bdftopcf was updated and may need cleaning in the
188: src/external/mit/xorg/tools/bdftopcf subdirectory if there are
189: link errors.
190:
1.291 mrg 191: 20180212:
192: between OpenSSL and GCC updates, many things may fail to build.
193: any failure that looks like GCC or openssl is best handled by
194: a clean destdir and objdir. Full cleandir and destdir deletion
195: is recommended if build failures occur.
196:
1.288 martin 197: 20171225:
198: removal of the vadvise syscall requires manual removal of all
199: associated files from the libc build object directory (including
1.289 christos 200: the .depend files) - a command like:
1.288 martin 201: cd $OBJ && find . -type d -name libc | xargs rm -rf
1.289 christos 202: For architectures that support multiple "compat" binary targets,
203: you'll need to cleanup both the regular libc directory and the
1.290 martin 204: compat ones (the above command will do that).
1.288 martin 205:
1.287 kre 206: 20171010:
207: a change to the build structure of external/bsd/acpica/bin/iasl
208: means that its objdir (or *.d and .depend at least) might need
209: to be manually removed - or a build done once without -u.
210:
1.286 mrg 211: 20170822:
212: a new version of GMP has been imported and probably
213: will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
214: in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
215: and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
216:
1.285 mrg 217: 20170816:
218: a new version of MPFR and MPC have been imported and probably
219: will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
220: in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
221: and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
222:
1.284 martin 223: 20170402:
224: a new version of dhcpcd has been imported, which does not support
225: update builds from the previous version. Remove your
226: external/bsd/dhcpcd object dir or build once without -u.
227:
1.281 roy 228: 20170211:
229: a new terminfo database has been imported.
230: The structure of it has changed slightly from prior versions and
231: an updated tic tool is required.
232: If you build.sh, don't use -u
233:
1.280 kre 234: 20170207:
1.278 kre 235: various arch dependent libc/exect.S files were removed
1.279 kre 236: Either remove the obj directories (lib/libc and compat/amd64/i386/lib
237: if it exists) or do a clean build.
238: (This is a bug in the make system, it should be corrected without
239: human intervention, but isn't.)
1.278 kre 240:
1.277 martin 241: 20170104:
242: xinput build options have changed.
243: Remove the obj directory (external/mit/xorg/bin/xinput)
244: if you build.sh -u
245:
1.276 martin 246: 20170103:
247: a new version of flex has been imported.
248: Remove the file from obj (external/bsd/flex)
249: if you build.sh -u
250:
1.275 spz 251: 20161014:
252: a new version of OpenSSL has been imported.
253: Remove the files from obj (crypto/external/bsd/openssl)
254: if you build.sh -u
255:
1.274 martin 256: 20161009:
257: a new version of dhcpcd has been imported with slightly changed
258: build infrastructure. When doing a build.sh -u this requires
259: pruning the external/bsd/dhcpcd objdir.
260:
1.273 mrg 261: 20160914:
262: i386, amd64, shark, ofppc and macppc have joined shark and x68k
263: ports in using xorg-server 1.18. This requires a clean destdir
264: and a clean objdir.
265:
1.272 dholland 266: 20160527:
267: i386 needs a full cleandir or objdir deletion because PIE has
268: been enabled. (see the amd64 entry two down for further info)
269:
1.270 christos 270: 20160418:
271: libedit needs manual removal of all autogenerated files since
1.271 christos 272: some of them are not autogenerated anymore. Remember that there
273: might be two copies of libedit if your platform builds "compat".
1.270 christos 274:
1.268 riastrad 275: 20160410:
276: amd64 needs full "make cleandir" or deletion of objdir now that
277: PIE has been enabled for amd64. PIE, or position-independent
278: executables, means all code, including executables and not just
279: shared libraries, is position-independent and hence able to be
280: relocated by ASLR, address space layout randomization.
281:
282: The change was made in Makefile variables for compiler and
283: linker flags, for which make(1) does not record dependencies,
284: hence it is unable to detect that all .o files need rebuilding.
285:
286: Partial rebuilds with some modified source files will likely
287: fail when linking executables, since the linker refuses to mix
288: position-independent code with position-dependent code in
289: position-independent executables:
290:
291: .../x86_64--netbsd/bin/ld: foo.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `...' cannot be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
292:
1.267 mrg 293: 20160401:
294: Ports switching to GCC 5.3 will need a full "make cleandir".
1.269 dholland 295: Some people have found that cleandir is not sufficient, so if
296: in doubt delete the entire object directory tree for gcc.
1.267 mrg 297:
1.266 aymeric 298: 20160306:
1.265 aymeric 299: NetBSD's regexp implementation is now part of libnbcompat.
300: Nblex, nbm4, nbpax, nbsed use it and they may crash on
301: non-NetBSD hosts if linked with stale object files produced
302: while they included a non-NetBSD regex.h.
303: In any case, you should "make cleandir" at least these tools
304: before updating your toolchain.
305:
1.264 martin 306: 20160125:
307: Dtrace has been enabled by default on some architectures.
308: When doing an update build, make sure to clean the etc/mtree
309: object directory before starting the build - otherwise the
310: needed directories in destdir will not be created.
311: An easy way to do this is:
312: cd src/etc/mtree && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$arch cleandir
313:
1.263 dholland 314: 20150818:
315: New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
316: again.
317:
1.262 christos 318: 20150413:
319: New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
320: in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
321: also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
322:
1.261 martin 323: 20150404:
324: Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
325: sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
326: do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
327: src/usr.bin/xlint.
328:
1.260 skrll 329: 20150310:
330: Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
331: the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
332: external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
333:
1.258 martin 334: 20141026:
1.259 msaitoh 335: A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
1.258 martin 336: in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
337: during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
338: directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
339: and let cvs restore it on next update.
340:
1.256 apb 341: 20140721:
342: The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
343: and then deleted in the CVS repository. If you get errors like
344:
345: cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
346: /cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
347:
348: then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
349:
1.255 joerg 350: 20140530:
351: ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
352: rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
353:
1.251 martin 354: 20140131:
1.253 joerg 355: The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
1.254 skrll 356: advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
1.253 joerg 357: of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
1.251 martin 358:
1.250 christos 359: 20131227:
360: 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
361: attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
362: mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
363: statements to avoid being exposed.
364: 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
365: to make clean in libc
366:
1.249 mrg 367: 20131129:
368: The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
369: cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
370:
1.248 mrg 371: 20131128:
372: The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
373: tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
374:
1.246 martin 375: 20130605:
1.247 spz 376: The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
377: to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
378:
379: 20130605:
1.246 martin 380: Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
381: header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
382: please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
383:
1.245 mrg 384: 20130531:
385: The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
386: in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
387: nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
388: is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
389:
1.244 mrg 390: 20130530:
391: Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
392: Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
393:
1.242 christos 394: 20130301:
395: The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
1.243 christos 396: prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
1.242 christos 397:
1.238 dholland 398: 20120726:
1.241 wiz 399: The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
400: directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
1.240 dholland 401: DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
1.241 wiz 402: some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
1.240 dholland 403: cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
1.238 dholland 404:
1.237 wiz 405: 20120507:
1.241 wiz 406: The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
1.237 wiz 407: need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
408: for the next weekly run to fix it.
409:
1.236 bsh 410: 20120319:
411: sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
412: size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
413: your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
414: you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
415: mk.conf.
416:

419: unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
1.239 dholland 420: and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
1.241 wiz 421: /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
1.235 joerg 422: the next run of weekly will fix it.
1.233 joerg 423:
1.232 christos 424: 20111227:
425: If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
426: /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
427: bump has been reverted.
428:
1.231 tls 429: 20111125:
430: The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
431: means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
432: configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
433: removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
434:
1.230 tls 435: 20111119:
436: A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
437: utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
438: bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
439: non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
440: replace your rndctl executable too.
1.241 wiz 441:
1.229 jym 442: 20111001:
443: the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
444: changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
1.241 wiz 445: one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
1.229 jym 446: quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
447:
1.228 mrg 448: 20110817:

1.227 riastrad 452: 20110806:
453: i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
454: objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
455:
1.226 mrg 456: 20110805:

458: the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
459: DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
460: sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
461:
1.225 matt 462: 20110803:
1.241 wiz 463: The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
1.225 matt 464: update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
465: for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
466: is now a directory.

1.223 joerg 468: 20110410:
1.241 wiz 469: The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an

471: tools/gcc by hand.

1.222 plunky 473: 20110328:
474: Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
1.241 wiz 475: ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
1.222 plunky 476: the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
477: if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a

1.221 lukem 481: Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
1.220 joerg 482: the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
483: correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
484: and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
1.218 joerg 485:

492: The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
1.241 wiz 493: variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
494: assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
1.216 christos 495: old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
496: break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
497: so building gcc will end up printing:

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

1.211 tnozaki 520: private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)

1.195 perry 572: 20090501:
573: Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
574: can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
1.241 wiz 575: who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
1.195 perry 576: note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a

1.194 mrg 580: 20090325:

583:
1.192 skrll 584: 20090126:
1.241 wiz 585: The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
1.207 mbalmer 586: need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
587: to avoid using the old assembly stub.
1.192 skrll 588:
1.191 joerg 589: 20090202:

593:
1.184 christos 594: 20090110:
1.241 wiz 595: time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
596: 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
1.188 christos 597: This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
598: conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
1.184 christos 599: 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
600: before installing.
601: 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
1.241 wiz 602: your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
1.184 christos 603: are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
604: and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
1.241 wiz 605: libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
1.184 christos 606: the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
607: 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
1.189 hubertf 608: rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
609: Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
610: that depend on it.
1.186 christos 611: 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
612: will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
1.190 apb 613: 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
614: lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
1.241 wiz 615: for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
1.190 apb 616: upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
617: boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
618: newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
619: files manually.
620: 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
621: accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
622: removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
623: /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
624: the file.
1.196 dholland 625: 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
1.241 wiz 626: disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
1.196 dholland 627: using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
628: rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
1.185 jmcneill 629:
1.183 pgoyette 630: 20081219:
631: config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
632: swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
633: (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
634: config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
635: kernels.
636:
1.181 cube 637: 20081205:
638: If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
639: /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
640: set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.

1.179 tsutsui 652:
1.180 wiz 653: If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of

1.179 tsutsui 656:
1.178 lukem 657: 20080827:
658: If you built and installed a libc from sources between
659: 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
660: which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
661: Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
1.180 wiz 662: needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:

766: has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
767: to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
1.241 wiz 768: root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
1.167 wiz 769: root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
1.161 dsl 770: start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install

1.1 abs 844: Hints for a more successful build:
845: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.123 jmc 846: Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
1.132 jmmv 847: This will automatically build the tools in the
1.123 jmc 848: correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
849: new build products from interfering with the running
850: system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
851: other advice in this file.
1.2 mrg 852: Build a new kernel first:
853: This makes sure that any new system calls or features
854: expected by the new userland will be present. This
855: helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
1.1 abs 856: Use object directories:
857: This helps to keep stale object
858: files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
859: about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
860: a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
861: same source tree for multiple machines.
1.123 jmc 862: To use object directories with build.sh:
863: a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
864: To use object directories without using build.sh:
1.1 abs 865: a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
1.2 mrg 866: b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
867: c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
1.1 abs 868: d) cd /usr/src ; make build
1.2 mrg 869: Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
870: in obj.$MACHINE directory.
1.1 abs 871: Build to a DESTDIR:
1.123 jmc 872: This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
873: from interfering with the new build.
874: To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
875: To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
876: environment variable before running make build. It should be
877: set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
878: Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
879: update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
880: nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
881: (See critical utils, below.)
1.1 abs 882: Build often:
883: This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
884: on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
1.123 jmc 885: date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
886: this problem.

1.1 abs 888: What to do if things don't work:
889: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1.230 tls 890: When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
1.1 abs 891: should be done.
892: 1) make includes
893: This should be done automatically by make build.
894: 2) cd share/mk && make install
895: Again, automatically done by make build.
896:
897: Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
898: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
899: To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
900: something like the following:
901: 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
902: 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
903: utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
904: 3) cd ...path/to/util...
905: make cleandir
906: rm ...all obj directories...
907: make cleandir # yes, again
908: make obj
909: make depend && make
910:
911: Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
912: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
913: If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
1.2 mrg 914: ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
915: (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
916: for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
