Problem with building base

[kl3]

Hey,

building latest base from the git mirror gives me the this:

I couldn't find any valuable information on why iconv.h could be missing; this happens regardless of what I have set in mk.conf(5)?

Any hints on what's wrong here? I've build both kernel and base successfully in the past always following release(8) to the word.

The Git repository is not officially sanctioned, so I suspect that it is not fully synchronized with the project's CVS repository.

My suggestion would be to follow the information in the release(8) manpage,& Section 5 of the official FAQ.

[kl3]

I am now using CVS, kernel builds fine as usual but base now fails at this (late in the process):

/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Configure: .: ../UU/myread: not found
*** Error 1 in gnu/usr.bin/perl (Makefile.bsd-wrapper:76 'config.sh': cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/obj && PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbi...)
*** Error 2 in gnu/usr.bin (<bsd.subdir.mk>:48 'depend')
*** Error 2 in gnu (<bsd.subdir.mk>:48 'depend')
*** Error 2 in . (<bsd.subdir.mk>:48 'depend')
*** Error 1 in /usr/src (Makefile:82 'build')

I shall try wether upgrading to the latest snapshot fixes this and report later.

[jggimi]

Since the failure is building Perl, I'll guess that your build system is older than the 5 February 2017 update to Perl 5.24.1. A later snapshot will get you past this flag day change.

See the Following -current FAQ for more details.

[kl3]

This error did indeed not occur prior to that change. Upgrading to/via latest snapshot (bsd*, base*, comp* sets installed) still doesn't fix building:

In file included from /usr/src/lib/libcurses/curses.priv.h:81,
from /usr/src/lib/libcurses/tinfo/make_keys.c:42:
/usr/include/unistd.h:524: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'fd_set'
/usr/include/unistd.h:524: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'fd_set'
/usr/include/unistd.h:524: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'fd_set'
*** Error 1 in lib/libcurses (Makefile:129 'make_keys')
*** Error 1 in lib (<bsd.subdir.mk>:48 'depend')
*** Error 1 in /usr/src (Makefile:79 'build')

I used to see this already before the Perl update. I'm really curious what borked my system that way; /usr{,src/}include/unistd.h are the same.

[jggimi]

Then, most likely there is something damaged in your source tree. Perhaps something left over from when you were using the github mirror. Delete /usr/src/* and acquire once again.

To add to jggimi's correct response, whenever mirror sources are changed, delete everything obtained at any previous site. The file timestamps will likely not be synchronized. Deleting everything simplifies the problem solving most likely needed later.

[kl3]

That's what I already did in the first place: Wiped /usr/src and fetched it through {src,sys}.tar.gz and CVS again.

[jggimi]

Ah. When you fetch a tarball, you are getting -release, not -current. Then, when you apply cvs(1) commands, you are overwriting the -release source tree.

It makes some sense to preload a -release tarball when you will be building -stable, but it may be the cause of the problem you are suffering with now, as you are failing to build -current. There certainly could be an application of the checkout on top of -release which leaves something out-of-sorts in your source tree.

Start with an empty /usr/src, and then checkout -current source via cvs(1). See if that makes a difference for you.

It is clearly stated:
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html

Make sure you've read and understand how to build the system from source before using -current and the instructions below.

You should always use a snapshot as the starting point for running -current.

[blackhole]

faq5 is very comprehensive on the whole process, as is the faq for anoncvs.

[kl3]

Using the latest snapshot as ever for building sources, but still:

[warnings...]
The *exact same* iconv.h error from my initial post occurs

[jggimi]

Is there anything in /etc/mk.conf ?

All I can think of is something in your environment that is non-standard, such as building in parallel mode.

If it's empty, I'm out of ideas. While "-s" is non-standard, it shouldn't cause an issue.

[kl3]

/etc/mk.conf does not exist.

Thank you. Nothing jumps out at me. If others here do not see something I have missed, you might start a thread on the misc@ mailing list to see if a much broader audience -- including about half of the developers -- have any recommendations.
