Gnome-2.12 looks good so far. I've gotten through the minimal packages as defined in BLFS...I started on the 5th so I did use a couple of 2.11.92 versions, but they'll be replaced before I continue. The released version of gnome-vfs-2.12.0 doesn't check the samba version, so when built against 3.0.20, it fails to compile. The patch was posted on blfs-support the other day....it'll be needed by 2.10 as well, if samba is updated before gnome. And not that very many people care much about JDK from source, but the much corrected gcc4 patch is ready to go. I've just not committed it yet. It'd be awful nice if Sun would release the update-4 source code though. Till then, I'll use the binary version myself. Anyway, I thought this tidbit might be useful for other packages as well. The nio Makefile used -Werror in the CFLAGS. I did not want to remove that, so I got rid of the new gcc4 warnings using '-Wno-pointer-sign'. There was another that I looked at, but was not necessary for nio. '-Wno-sign-compare' for other 'signedness' issues. One of the above should help with Ruby as was referenced by google when I was looking for those. Anyway...off to OOo land now. :-) -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
