Custom Query (532 matches)

I wanted to see if I could help on ​http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31490 - this prevents gcc building a modular kernel, a fix will be going in to the kernel to tell people not to waste their time trying to build modular with 4.2.0. Unfortunately, I've hit two showstoppers:

1. I can't chroot to the temporary system, it reports an Error, apparently in glibc. At the moment I haven't looked at this part beyond looking at strace.

2. Trying an LFS-style native build to establish what works, it can't build 64-bit glibc (2.5, 2.5 with our patches, 2.6 in any combination with binutils-2.17, 2.17 with our patches, and recent hjl) although 32-bit is ok. The error is

CPP='gcc -m64 -B/tools/bin/ -E -x c-header'  /mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/elf/ld64.so.1 --library-path /mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/math:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/elf:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/dlfcn:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/nss:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/nis:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/rt:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/resolv:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/crypt:/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/nptl /mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/sunrpc/rpcgen -Y ../scripts -c rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o /mnt/lfs/building/glibc-build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T

make[1]: *** [sunrpc/others] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/building/glibc-2.5'
make: *** [all] Error 2

At the moment I'm working through an LFS-style build with hjl binutils, gcc-4.1.2, and our patched glibc-2.5 to iron out the bugs in my script. After that I'll try a native toolchain build into /opt/newtools or wherever using hjl, 4.2.0, and glibc-2.6 (or 2.6.1 if it is out). At that point I can report the failure to build glibc. So, if anybody else is using ppc64, don't hold your breath!

Book: Version SVN-0.0.1-20070214-arm Section: 6.7.1 Host: Fedora 7, 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 15:37:31 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

the "make headers" command fails with the following error:

[root@man-o-war uClibc-0.9.29]# make ARCH=arm headers make[1]: `conf' is up to date. cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mbig-endian" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mbig-endian"

this looks like the modifiers are for ARM whereas we are trying to build the headers using the host CC. Does anyone know of a workaround for now?

I apologise in advance if I don't have the ticket properties correct as I'm new to CLFS :-)

It's now possible to use Grub2 on 32, multilib, and pure64 if you trick configure a bit. Instructions to compile and install Grub2 are as follows:

cat > config.cache < "EOF"
grub_cv_check_edata_symbol=yes
grub_cv_check_end_symbol=yes
grub_cv_check_uscore_edata_symbol=yes
grub_cv_check_uscore_end_symbol=yes
grub_cv_check_uscore_start_symbol=yes
grub_cv_check_uscore_uscore_bss_start_symbol=yes
grub_cv_i386_check_nested_functions=no
EOF

Compile and install:

./configure --prefix=/usr --cache-file=config.cache &&
make &&
make install

Configuring:

mkdir -p /boot/grub &&
cat > /boot/grub/grub.cfg << "EOF"
set timeout=30
set default=0

menuentry "Linux 2.6.22.1" {
    linux (hd0,1)/kernel-2.6.22.1 root=/dev/hda1
}
EOF

Installing the bootsector.

grub-setup --directory=/boot/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map /dev/hda

Comments, testing, improvements would be appreciated.
