[gentoo-ppc-user] newbie help with emerge --update --deep --newuse world
dear gentoo people, i am trying to migrate to gentoo ppc64 from osx tiger. unfortunately i have run myself into some problems, probably due to my own newbiness and unfamiliarity's with gentoo. i was trying to do a: emerge --update --deep --newuse world as described in the gentoo handbook. when it stopped with a complaint about a conflict between the pam-login and shadow packages. i made the mistake of unmerging pam-login and now i can only access the system by booting the kernel with the arg: init=/bin/bash. however after removing the above conflict the build continued, but eventually stopped with another problem, which i don't have a clue where to begin - except here on the list. and so i am hoping you gracious and patient folks might be willing to lend a helping hand to someone trying to make the move from osx to gentoo. and so with that hope i hand, i now present you with the details: the system is a 2 CPU PPC G5, w/internal SATA drive, and a 20 CinemaDisplay. my make.conf includes the following USE definition: USE=-unicode -gnome -gtk kde qt gtk2 hal i added the -unicode because i was having trouble building the audacity program which complained about wxWidgets (or something) needing to be re-emerged w/out unicode, and after trying a local package USE=-unicode which wouldn't work, i decided to try adding it to the make.conf. my ultimate goal is to set up an audio/recording system. i have included below the output from emerge --info as well as the broken make. again, thanks for your patience, and if i need to supply any other information please let me know. thanks, daryl daryl at weblane dot com emerge --info: Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Portage 2.1.1_pre4 (default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2006.0/64bit-userland, gcc-3.4.4/vanilla, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r2, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4tochtli-01 ppc64) = System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4tochtli-01 ppc64 unknown app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox:1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=ppc64 ~ppc64 AUTOCLEAN=yes CBUILD=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -mtune=970 -mcpu=970 -maltivec -mabi=altivec CHOST=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu CONFIG_PROTECT= CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/env.d /etc/gconf CXXFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -mtune=970 -mcpu=970 -maltivec -mabi=altivec DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles FEATURES=autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ MAKEOPTS=-j3 PKGDIR=/usr/portage/packages PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS=--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages' PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp PORTDIR=/usr/portage SYNC=rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage USE=ppc64 X alsa apache2 apm arts berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr cli cups dlloader dri dvd eds emboss encode esd foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 hal ibm imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev vorbis xml xmms xorg xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY make output: ../include/sys/uio.h:5: warning: `altivec' attribute ignored ../include/sys/uio.h:7: warning: `altivec' attribute ignored ../include/sys/uio.h:9: warning: `altivec' attribute ignored ../include/sys/uio.h:11: warning: `altivec' attribute ignored powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc printf_fp.c -c -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -Winline -Wwrite-strings -fmerge-all-constants -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -pipe -mnew-mnemonics -Wstrict-prototypes -mlong-double-128 -fpic -I../include -I/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-ppc64-powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-nptl/stdio-common -I/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-ppc64-powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-nptl -I../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/elf -I../sysdeps/powerpc/elf -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu -I../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64
Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] newbie help with emerge --update --deep --newuse world
Hi Daryl, The builds fail. Could be a bug in Gentoo, a misconfiguration, etc. I do not have the answer of what is going on wrong in this case, maybe someone else will know. I will do the following suggestions though. 1) Remove ~ppc64 from your keywords or try the glibc marked stable (ppc64). ~ppc64 denotes the testing versions. If you are new, you might want to go with the stable version for most packages, they have been slightly tested better. 2) You can always skip glibc for now and install the other packages. With: emerge -av --oneshot pkg1 pkg2 ... you will be able to merge pkg1 pkg2 ... --oneshot will prevent them from being recorded in the world file. If there is a build bug for glibc, it might be fixed some time soon. Check bugs.gentoo.org and forums.gentoo.org for info too. Welcome to the Gentoo world and good luck with this problem.
