I'd be very interested in your results.... I sucessfully built 771 packages (the ones I use : p), only a few I could not build, these being the following: armagetron-i586 => armagetron-0.1.4.9-6mdk.src.rpm ImageMagick-i586 => ImageMagick-5.4.2.3-1mdk.src.rpm libhdf5_0-devel-i586 => hdf5-1.4.2p1-1mdk.src.rpm libhdf5_0-i586 => hdf5-1.4.2p1-1mdk.src.rpm libMagick5-i586 => ImageMagick-5.4.2.3-1mdk.src.rpm locales-en-i586 => locales-2.3.1.2-8mdk.src.rpm locales-i586 => locales-2.3.1.2-8mdk.src.rpm perl-DB_File-i586 => perl-DB_File-1.802-1mdk.src.rpm If you would like reasons why these packages couldn't build, shout out : ) (locales is being looked into...) A few tips: SAFE FLAGS! For your PIII opts I would recommend the default flags for i586, but simply s/i586\/i686/ on the -march switch Also, you will (I'm pretty sure) run into a few hicups here and there... For example: Take out the man page entries in the glibc.spec , otherwise the build will error out with file not found by glob bla bla... The reason for this? I have Noooooooooooooooooo idea! : ) GB says it's because it's not building for the default mdk arch (i586), which doesn't make sense to me, but he knows more about RPM than I do : p Other than that, enjoy! P.S. Results afterwards please? : ) -- Bryan Paxton Public PGP key: http://www.deadhorse.net/bpaxton.gpg "Now, smell the rain of london, it still insists... That we bed for our purity.
