Dear guys and girls, I have successfully bootstraped Gentoo Prefix on some old Fedora Core 3 machine on which I am only a normal user. I am very happy. Gentoo rocks! Alt rocks! Prefix rocks!
Now I am locking my target on some AIX machines. But the problems come up in an early stage. First after STFW, I found I need to use prefix-launcher on sf.net. QUESTION: is prefix-launcher an official part of gentoo-prefix? I can see most recent svn ci's. why is it hosted on sf instead of gentoo? But prefix-launcher fail wildly when it's compiling gcc-4.2.4. I was frustrated to do make clean && make install on prefix-launcher again and again. Finally I realized I have to compile gcc-4.2.4 by myself. But there comes the linker problem: There are always some unresolved symbol issue in stage 3 of bootstrap. After another round of STFW, esp. on gcc bugzilla, I think it is some path issue on AIX linker. ld just couldn't find the right library to link against. Any hints and ideas are appreciated. I attach the latest command (cmd) and linking message (debug). -- XU Benda Research Center for Neutrino Science Tohoku University JAPAN http://www.awa.tohoku.ac.jp/~benda
