I have installed gentoo a few times without difficulty, but always on pentium 4s. My son is installing it on an AMD sempron and we are having trouble involving i686 vs i386.
In make.conf we have CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" MAKEOPT="-j2" PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage" We used the install-x86-minimal-2005.0.iso live CD and downloaded stage1-x86-20005.0.tar.bz2 We unpacked the tar and ran bootstrap.sh The compile of glibc fails trying to access the file /etc/env.d/gcc/i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 The file does not exist. Instead we have the file /etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130 The directory /etc/env.d/gcc also contains two config files config and config-i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 These files are identical and contain one line CURRENT=i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 I realize that the bootstrap builds the compiler twice and we did define PORT_LOGDIR, but I don't have the machine available now. If it is needed to send some output from one of the logs that can be done. Thanks in advance, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
