Hi, after some problems with glibc and dosemu I successfully compiled a new linuxboot. And cause this seems to be a problem for more users I wrote some lines to explain my steps.
My system was a fresh installation of ubuntu 8.10 and latest patches. 1. install needed tools and kernel-headers: aptitude install cvs build-essential bison flex libncurses-dev mkisofs gawk linux-headers-$(uname -r) 2. get cvs-source of unattended (about 2G in directory unattended and 200MB in /var/tmp needed to compile linuxboot) cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@unattended.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/unattended co unattended cd unattended/linuxboot make download 3. install gcc-4.1 (compiling dosemu with gcc-4.3 failed) and symlink it to gcc apt-get install gcc-4.1 ln -sv --force gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc 4. modify Makefile, edit glibc version to 2.9 (glibc=glibc-2.9) and replace ##glibc section with: > GLIBCCFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -fno-stack-protector" > ## glibc > build-$(glibc)/libc.so: $(linux)/arch/x86/boot/bzImage > mkdir -p build-$(glibc) > cd build-$(glibc) && CFLAGS=$(GLIBCCFLAGS) CHOST=$(CHOST) CC=$(CC) > $(cwd)/$(glibc)/configure \ > --prefix=/usr \ > --without-gd --without-cvs \ > --enable-kernel=2.6.9 \ > --without-selinux \ > --disable-nls \ > --disable-stackguard-randomization \ > --enable-old-ssp-compat \ > --enable-add-ons \ > --enable-bind-now \ > --includedir=$(cwd)/$(linux)/dest/include \ > --with-headers=$(cwd)/$(linux)/dest/include \ > --build=i686-linux \ > --host=i686-linux \ > --enable-all-warnings \ > && find . -name \*.d -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm -f \ > && $(MAKE) > touch -c $@ 5. make tftpboot with make tftpboot Thats all. Kernel and initrd now in tftpboot/. -- Regards and Happy Easter!
