UPDATING revision 1.262
1$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.262 2015/04/14 14:18:59 christos Exp $

3This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12working around specific problems with build.sh.

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

19Recent changes:
20^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
21
2220150413:
23	New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
24	in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
25	also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
26
2720150404:
28	Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
29	sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
30	do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
31	src/usr.bin/xlint.
32
3320150310:
34	Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
35	the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
36	external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
37
3820141026:
39	A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
40	in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
41	during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
42	directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
43	and let cvs restore it on next update.
44
4520140721:
46	The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
47	and then deleted in the CVS repository.  If you get errors like
48
49	cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
50	/cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
51
52	then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
53
5420140530:
55	ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
56	rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
57
5820140131:
59	The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
60	advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
61	of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
62
6320131227:
64	1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
65	   attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
66	   mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
67	   statements to avoid being exposed.
68	2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
69	   to make clean in libc
70
7120131129:
72	The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
73	cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
74
7520131128:
76	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
77	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
78
7920130605:
80	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
81	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
82
8320130605:
84	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
85	header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
86	please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
87
8820130531:
89	The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
90	in the obj tree.  Make sure to ensure any like this:
91		nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
92	is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
93
9420130530:
95	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
96	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
97
9820130301:
99	The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
100	prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
101
10220120726:
103	The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
104	directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
105	DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
106	some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
107	cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
108
10920120507:
110	The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
111	need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
112	for the next weekly run to fix it.
113
11420120319:
115	sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
116	size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
117	your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
118	you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
119	mk.conf.
120
12120120216:
122	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
123	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
124	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
125	/var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
126	the next run of weekly will fix it.
127
12820111227:
129	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
130	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
131	bump has been reverted.
132
13320111125:
134	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
135	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
136	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
137	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
138
13920111119:
140	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
141	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
142	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
143	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
144	replace your rndctl executable too.
145
14620111001:
147	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
148	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
149	one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
150	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
151
15220110817:
153	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
154	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
155
15620110806:
157	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
158	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
159
16020110805:
161	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
162	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
163	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
164	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
165
16620110803:
167	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed.  To do an
168	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
169	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
170	is now a directory.
171
17220110410:
173	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed.  To do an
174	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
175	tools/gcc by hand.
176
17720110328:
178	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
179	ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
180	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
181	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
182	directory.
183
18420110121:
185	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
186	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
187	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
188	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
189
19020101217:
191	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
192	by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
193	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
194
19520101125:
196	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
197	variables with names that contain '='.  Revision 1.18 of env.c
198	assumed that this was allowed.  Installing a new libc with an
199	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
200	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
201	so building gcc will end up printing:
202	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
203	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
204	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
205
20620101119:
207	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
208	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
209	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
210	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
211
21220100604:
213	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
214	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
215	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
216	trees by hand.
217
21820100522:
219	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
220	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
221	build problems with xsrc.
222
22320100522:
224	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
225	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
226
22720100520:
228	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
229	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
230
23120100222:
232	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
233	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
234	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
235	your object directories.
236
23720100204:
238	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
239	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
240	from the system when upgrading.
241	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
242	and destination directories.
243
24420091101:
245        After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
246        target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
247        'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
248        src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
249
25020091001:
251	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
252	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
253
25420091001:
255	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
256	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
257	it is in, and retry your build.
258
25920090718:
260	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
261	point for index().  Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
262	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
263	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
264
26520090709:
266	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
267	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
268
26920090616:
270	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
271	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
272	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
273	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
274	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
275
27620090501:
277	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
278	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
279	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly.  If you
280	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
281	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
282	objects and start again.
283
28420090325:
285	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
286	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
287
28820090126:
289	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type.  You
290	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
291	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
292
29320090202:
294	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
295	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
296	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
297
29820090110:
299	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities.  To upgrade:
300	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it.  Build and install.
301	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
302	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
303	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
304	   before installing.
305	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
306	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair.  Make sure headers
307	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
308	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
309	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them.  Once
310	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
311	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
312	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
313	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
314	   that depend on it.
315	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
316	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
317	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
318	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
319	   for utmp.  You are better off removing the old files after
320	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
321	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
322	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
323	   files manually.
324	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
325	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
326	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
327	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
328	   the file.
329	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
330	   disk will break or need attention.  Most notably: if you are
331	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
332	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
333
33420081219:
335	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
336	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
337	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
338	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
339	kernels.
340
34120081205:
342	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
343	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
344	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
345
34620081122:
347	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
348	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
349	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
350	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
351
352	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
353
354	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
355	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
356
357	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
358	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
359	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
360
36120080827:
362	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
363	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
364	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
365	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
366	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
367	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
368
36920080813:
370	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
371	about .go files.  You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
372
37320080802:
374	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
375	been fixed.  Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
376	for -current.
377
378	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
379	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
380	be recompiled.
381
382	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
383
384	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
385	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
386
38720080731:
388	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
389	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
390	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
391	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
392	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
393	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
394	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
395
39620080721:
397	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
398	isn't defined.
399
40020080531:
401	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
402	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129.  The drvctl(8)
403	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
404	won't work correctly.  The following sequence of commands:
405
406	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
407	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
408	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
409
410	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
411
41220080503:
413	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
414
41520080521:
416	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
417	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
418	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
419	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
420	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
421	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
422
42320080303:
424	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
425
42620080126:
427	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
428	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub.  You need to
429	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
430	avoid using the old assembly stub.
431
43220071209:
433	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments.  If you
434	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
435	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
436
43720071115:
438	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
439	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
440	anymore.  The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
441	rather than the EC address port.  Please update your kernel
442	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
443
44420071028:
445	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
446	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
447	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
448	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
449	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
450	for more details.
451
45220070913:
453	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
454	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
455	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
456	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
457	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
458	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
459	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
460	and userland are from after 20070913.
461
46220070703:
463	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
464	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
465	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
466	re-installation of tools.
467
46820070422:
469	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
470	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
471	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
472	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
473	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
474	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
475	that has such links.
476	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
477	the emulated root.
478
47920070412:
480	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
481	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
482	example.

485        src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
486        on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
487        updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
488	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
489	rebuild of object files that might have been built
490	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
491	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
492
49320070210:
494        src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
495          find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
496              | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
497        will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt

500        The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
501        was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
502        kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
503        library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
504        an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
505        (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
506        the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
507        continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
508	is the only threaded application in the base system.
509
51020061214:
511	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
512	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
513	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
514		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
515		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
516		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
517		as the installation images in distrib/
518	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
519	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
520
52120061108:
522	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
523	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
524	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared.  You'll need to
525	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
526
52720061009:
528	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
529	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
530
53120060814:
532	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
533	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
534	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
535	few years should cope.
536
53720060703:
538	MPACPI is no more.  We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
539	if we have an ACPI kernel.  The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
540	to ACPI_SCANPCI.  Thanks to work from fvdl.
541
54220060627:
543	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
544	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
545	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
546	errors will result.
547
548Hints for a more successful build:
549^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
550    Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
551	This will automatically build the tools in the
552	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
553	   new build products from interfering with the running
554	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
555	   other advice in this file.
556    Build a new kernel first:
557	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
558	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
559	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
560    Use object directories:
561	This helps to keep stale object
562	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
563	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
564	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
565	   same source tree for multiple machines.
566	   To use object directories with build.sh:
567	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
568	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
569	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
570	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
571	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
572	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
573	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
574	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
575    Build to a DESTDIR:
576	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
577	   from interfering with the new build.
578	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
579	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
580	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
581	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
582	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
583		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
584		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
585		(See critical utils, below.)
586    Build often:
587	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
588	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
589	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
590	this problem.
591
592What to do if things don't work:
593^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
594When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
595should be done.
596    1)	make includes
597	This should be done automatically by make build.
598    2)  cd share/mk && make install
599	Again, automatically done by make build.
600
601Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
602^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
603To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
604something like the following:
605    1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
606    2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
607	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
608    3)  cd ...path/to/util...
609	make cleandir
610	rm ...all obj directories...
611	make cleandir			# yes, again
612	make obj
613	make depend && make
614
615Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
616^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
617If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
618ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
619(a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
620for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
621

653	usr.bin/config
654
655Other problems and possible solutions:
656^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
657Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
658Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
659	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
660	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
661	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
662
663Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
664	cd share/mk && make install
665
666Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
667Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
668
669Symptom:
670Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
671
672Symptom:
673Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
674
675Symptom:
676Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
677
678Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
679Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
680	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
681	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
682	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
683
684Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
685	pointer type
686Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
687
688Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
689Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
690
691Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
692Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
693
694Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
695Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
696
697Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
698Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
699
700Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
701Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
702
703Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
704	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
705Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
706
707Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
708	No such file or directory.
709Cause:	If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
710	deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
711	that bypass the normal cvs access controls.  If your cvs working tree
712	contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
713	server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
714Fix:	Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
715	and try the update again.
