Hi everyone! I'm currently compiling a BLFS system using a brand new LFS (Development Version). There were some problems I would like to report.
First of all, CyrusSASL doesn't compile with GCC4.4. There is a new version available for download but as that didn't compile either I chose to stick with the book's version and try to fix it. I don't know how to make patches and the error is a preprocessor one so I will just point out what worked for me, without guarantee that it will work for any other machine. I took the file plugins/digestmd5.c and changed the following lines: line 2718 to #elif defined(WITH_DES) line 4037 to #elif defined(WITH_DES) That compiled fine. I just looked it up in the mailing list archives and saw this issue has already been discussed, but it still isn't changed in the book. Second, x-cursor-themes is not available at the given ftp location any more. The new location is: ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/data/xcursor-themes-1.0.1.tar.bz2 And third, KDE3 is no longer updated by the devs. I found two patches to make kde-libs and kde-base work with GCC4.4, but as other kde packages fail to build, too, I will try and migrate to KDE4. I'm pretty sure you are aware of this problem, yet I haven't seen anything about KDE on this list lately. As I'm going to keep a close eye on my build anyway, I could provide you with some information that I gather if that would help. If that is the case, please tell me what information I should keep in particular (build logs?, check logs? anything else?) Oh, almost forgot that: The patches for KDE3 can be found here: http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/kdebase/kdebase-gcc44.patch http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/kdelibs/kdelibs-gcc44.patch - Philipp -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
