$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.36 2001/09/25 02:26:13 tv Exp $

|
|
This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build
|
|
process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed description see Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Recent changes:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
20010922:
|
|
The new toolchain is enabled on i386. This new build method
|
|
is intended to make all the ugrade issues elsewhere in UPDATING
|
|
obsolete (stay tuned...).
|
|
|
|
i386 platform builds must now et TOOLDIR in mk.conf or the
|
|
environment in order to build the system. This is a pathname
|
|
where host build tools will be installed, and must NOT be
|
|
the same as src/tools.
|
|
|
|
(Optionally, USETOOLS=no can be set in the environment if you
|
|
wish to avoid using the separate host toolchain for building a
|
|
subtree. Otherwise, this will default to "yes" automatically.)
|
|
|
|
20010915:
|
|
The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
|
|
a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
|
|
files that still reference this file.
|
|
|
|
Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
20010803:
|
|
grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
|
|
requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
|
|
building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
|
|
the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
|
|
|
|
20010803:
|
|
(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like fxsave which
|
|
old gas doesn't understand. To build the kernel successfuly, you
|
|
need to build and install new gas (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new).
|
|
|
|
20010731:
|
|
Bootloader update on ELF platforms. DDB in kernels from before
|
|
this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
|
|
bootloaders.
|
|
|
|
20010726:
|
|
Texinfo was updated to 4.0. To avoid failures when trying to
|
|
build the included texinfo files, do:
|
|
|
|
cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
|
|
make MKINFO=no dependall install
|
|
|
|
20010718:
|
|
|
|
Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
|
|
was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
|
|
make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
|
|
timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
|
|
|
|
The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
|
|
if you have a stale dependency.
|
|
|
|
Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
|
|
before starting your build.
|
|
|
|
20010628:
|
|
|
|
A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
|
|
in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
|
|
bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
20010226:
|
|
|
|
Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
|
|
will break as mtree aborts early.
|
|
|
|
To work around add by hand:
|
|
|
|
named:*:14:
|
|
|
|
to /etc/group and add:
|
|
|
|
named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
|
|
|
|
to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
|
|
|
|
Now a make build should progress.
|
|
|
|
20010219:
|
|
get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need
|
|
to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
|
|
|
|
Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
|
|
usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
|
|
CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
|
|
usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
|
|
building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
|
|
|
|
20010204:
|
|
prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
|
|
particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
|
|
needs to be installed before make build.
|
|
|
|
20010114:
|
|
introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
|
|
bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
|
|
anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
|
|
with make build.
|
|
|
|
20010101:
|
|
bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
|
|
afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
|
|
|
|
20001230:
|
|
New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
|
|
If you get make errors,
|
|
(cd share/mk; make install)
|
|
Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
|
|
|
|
20001019:
|
|
The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
|
|
major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
20000929:
|
|
The following make directives are obsoleted.
|
|
MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA
|
|
By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be
|
|
built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build
|
|
additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
|
|
|
|
20000623:
|
|
MKCRYPTO and friends added to share/mk/bsd.own.mk.
|
|
'cd share/mk ; make install' needed before make build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hints for a more successful build:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Build a new kernel first:
|
|
This makes sure that any new system calls or features
|
|
expected by the new userland will be present. This
|
|
helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
|
|
Use object directories:
|
|
This helps to keep stale object
|
|
files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
|
|
about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
|
|
a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
|
|
same source tree for multiple machines.
|
|
To use object directories:
|
|
a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
|
|
b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
|
|
c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
|
|
d) cd /usr/src ; make build
|
|
Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
|
|
in obj.$MACHINE directory.
|
|
Build to a DESTDIR:
|
|
This helps to keep old
|
|
installed files (especially libraries) from interfering
|
|
with the new build.
|
|
To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment
|
|
variable before running make build. It should be set to
|
|
the pathname of an initially empty directory.
|
|
Problems: you might need to update critical utilities
|
|
without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed
|
|
from what is installed in DESTDIR.
|
|
(See critical utils, below)
|
|
Build often:
|
|
This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
|
|
on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
|
|
date functionality.
|
|
|
|
What to do if things don't work:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
When things don't work there is usually a few things that commonly
|
|
should be done.
|
|
1) make includes
|
|
This should be done automatically by make build.
|
|
2) cd share/mk && make install
|
|
Again, automatically done by make build.
|
|
|
|
Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
|
|
something like the following:
|
|
1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
|
|
2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
|
|
utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
|
|
3) cd ...path/to/util...
|
|
make cleandir
|
|
rm ...all obj directories...
|
|
make cleandir # yes, again
|
|
make obj
|
|
make depend && make
|
|
|
|
Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
|
|
ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
|
|
(a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
|
|
for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.
|
|
|
|
---cut here---
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
. /etc/mk.conf
|
|
|
|
if [ -z $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then
|
|
BSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
|
|
fi
|
|
if [ \! -d $BSDSRCDIR ] ; then
|
|
echo Unable to find sources
|
|
exit 1
|
|
fi
|
|
find $BSDSRCDIR -name \*.o -o -name obj.\* -o -name obj -exec rm \{\} \;
|
|
|
|
if [ -z $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
|
|
BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
|
|
fi
|
|
if [ -d $BSDOBJDIR ] ; then
|
|
rm -rf $BSDOBJDIR
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
cd $BSDSRCDIR && make cleandir
|
|
|
|
---cut here---
|
|

Critical utilities:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
gnu/usr.bin/egcs
|
|
usr.bin/compile_et
|
|
usr.bin/make
|
|
usr.bin/yacc
|
|
usr.bin/lex
|
|
usr.bin/xlint
|
|
usr.sbin/config
|
|
|
|
Other problems and possible solutions:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Symptom:Unreasonable compiler errors.
|
|
Fix: Rebuild gnu/usr.bin/egcs
|
|
|
|
Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
|
|
Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
|
|
cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
|
|
Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
|
|
cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
|
|
|
|
Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
|
|
cd share/mk && make install
|
|
|
|
Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
|
|
Fix: Rebuild usr.sbin/config
|
|
|
|
Symptom:
|
|
Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
|
|
|
|
Symptom:
|
|
Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
|
|
|
|
Symptom:
|
|
Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
|
|
|
|
Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
|
|
Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
|
|
make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
|
|
(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
|
|
may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
|
|
|
|
Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
|
|
Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
|
|
|
|
Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
|
|
Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
|
|
|
|
Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13'
|
|
Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
|
|
|
|
Symptom:usr.sbin/config fails to build.
|
|
Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
|
|
Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
|
|
|
|
Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
|
|
Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
