Hi Mike, On a slightly different note, since I can see that you've managed to install a working copy of the development box - can you give me any clues as to how to get it to work?
Basically, I'm trying to build the drivers for a new network card for
Endian, and I've been working on it for a couple of weeks...
I'm afraid I haven't really done much work with driver installs on Linux
before - normally it's just either been a case of the drivers being part of
the kernel and so automatically working, or the compilers have been shipped
with the system, so I've been able to just make/make install...
Since the standard version of Endian doesn't have any compilers installed on
it, I can't run make install on the drivers, so I tried to install the
kernel sources and the gcc compilers...
But I've been having serious problems getting the rpms to install, and then
getting the srpms to work, because the dependencies don't seem to get
resolved.
For example, I tried to install the gcc-3.4.6-3.endian6.i686 using
Rpmbuild bp target i686 gcc34.spec
And got the response:-
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
Error: Failed build dependencies:
Binutils >= 2.15.92.0.2-18 is needed by gcc-3.4.6-2.endian6.i686
Zlib-devel is needed by gcc-3.4.6-2.endian6.i686
Texinfo is needed by gcc-3.4.6-2.endian6.i686
Glibc-extras is needed by gcc-3.4.6-2.endian6.i686
So then I tried to build binutils
Rpmbuild bp target i686 binutils.spec
And I got the response:-
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
Error: Failed build dependencies:
Texinfo is needed by binutils-2.15.92.0.2-21.endian6.i686
I followed the build dependencies until I found something that actually
would install sharutils - or at least appeared to...
But even after Id run the rpmbuild on sharutils, the next up the list in
the dependency tree, ncurses, still gave this error
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
Error: Failed build dependencies:
Sharutils is needed by ncurses-5.4-14.endian.2.i686
What am I doing wrong?
Why dont they recognise the dependencies?
Do I need to do anything after rpmbuild? Should I then run an rpm -ivh on
the Sharutils package? Or do I need to compile the Source from
/usr/src/endian/SOURCES/BUILD? If so, how do I do it without gcc?
Even if I create a local yum repo for the development rpm files and the
src.srpms, the dependencies don't seem to resolve...
I'm sorry if I'm asking something that should be obvious or if you need more
specific info, but I've been reading around the subject, and trying so many
different things, and I just don't seem to be able to get it to work...
Could I work around it a different way and install a non-Endian kernel?
Could I take, e.g. a Fedora 2.6.17 kernel and use that, assuming the drivers
worked on that version?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Joe

1) My updates are for Endian Firewall 2.0 release ONLY.
2) ClamAV 0.90 had a lot of bugs in it, I did not deploy it on anything
I use [mostly Mail Gateways]. But 0.90.1 fixed most of the known issues.
So I figured I'd build one for Endian also. It does not look like the
update they [Endian] released also updated Havp or Mail::ClamAV which
means they should be broken. You'll need to verify that on the ClamAV
list but the jump from 0.88.7 to 0.90+ has API changes and anything that
talks directly to the libclamav needs to be recompiled.
That's all so if you are using Endian 2.1 my updates will not help you.
If you have a development box I can tell you what I did and you can
build your own based on the 2.1 packages.
