kernel compile trouble after upgrade

2003-06-02 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
a) After upgrading from woody to testing, I could not compile any kernels at all. All sorts of error messages appeared. /usr/bin had: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 1 14:50 gcc - gcc-3.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 74088 Mar 18 00:16 gcc-2.95 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 74056 Apr 8

I've noticed the same thing after I upgraded to gcc-3.3 on Sarge today. I can compile kernel an x86 2.4.20 kernel if I point /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-2.95. With /usr/bin/gcc - gcc-3.3 my kernel compile fails with the following: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/include -Wall

Yep, if u want to resolv this problem, link gcc against gcc-3.2 instead of gcc-3.3. shouldn't there be a 'Debian way' of doing this? if the old gcc-packages were still on the server (or if you don't apt-get clean so often :-)), one could do $ sudo apt-get install gcc=3.2 $ echo gcc hold | sudo

I haven't needed to try this yet, but I suspect you could insert a line CC=gcc-3.2 in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf to compile your kernels with gcc-3.2 even if your system's default compiler were gcc-3.3. seems like a good idea, I'll try it the next time I recompile a kernel I don't see why you
