Hi all, I am wondering if someone would help me with the following problem: I use debian woody linux, when trying to compile my program ran into the following problem: current version of libc6 includes a library libpthreads.so which needs to be compiled with FLOATING_STACKS option (that allows a thread to use more of 2Mb of stack) but it's compiled without it. Installing libc6_2.3.2.ds1-11_i386.deb and libc6-i686_2.3.2.ds1-11_i386.deb solves the problem with stacks, but that version comes from unstable and since every other package in debian depends on libc6 eventually I'd have to replace all dev and many other packages with unstable versions of those. Tried to unpack the package in different directory and use it from there, but that didn't work since libraries depend on one another and paths seem to be hardwired into libraries.
I tried to compile libc6-2.2.5-11.5, but I can't get it to enable FLOATING_STACKS correctly, read somewhere that specifying minimum kernel version to 2.4 should do the trick, but that didn't work for me. Tried to compile 2.3.2.ds1-11 in an attempt to add prefix to libraries and be able to install unstable version elsewhere and live happily with two versions of libc6, let debian use stable version and I would compile my stuff with unstable one. Tried compiling with gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.2 - fails with the same error: sscanf.c:31: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'sscanf' sscanf.c: In function 'sscanf' sscanf.c:37: error 'va_start' used in function with fixed args Could anyone help me compile either package the way I want it? Or may be there is a way to install the unstable package to a different place? Thanks in advance Vlad Paramygin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
