Without waisting times on details, I am working towards embedded and parallel systems. uclibc is much nice for that reason.
Now to my woes: Bash-3.0, major problem that the Wcontinued patch fixed under glibc. under uclibc the problem exists again. (I can control-c or kill -9 a running script or command ,such as configure, under bash-3.0, exit the chroot shell, and even exit the root shell that was used to chroot, and still have bash executing that script. (fix was to remove and depreciate bash altogethor - much easier on my end this way) Any ideas or fixes? I haven't noticed this problem mentioned. Fontconfig: depends on freetype, which has a problem compiling (2.1.9) Freetype: 2.1.10 version is needed to work, 2.1.9 fails. To get 2.1.10 to work, apply the following edit: sed -i -e 's|"<ftconfig.h>"|"\\"ftconfig.h\\""|g' \ builds/unix/unix-cc.in Apparently, 2.1.10 tries to include its only library as if it was existing on the system already, this means the library has to be installed before it can be compiled. Instead of copying the headerfile over to someplace like /usr/include using SED is much easier. 2.1.9 does not have this problem, its a bug introduced in the new version and will probably be fixed soon enough. I can now get ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static to work. LINUX-PAM & SHADOW!!!! It seems that PAM and the shadows after 2.0.7, use the same glibc specific headers located in "/usr/include/rpcsvc" which are not implemented in uclibc as far as I can tell. I have noticed other people are having problems with these programs. probable hack needed here expat: Despite hack attempts and command-line parameters, expat ignores any concept of not building static only libraries...Until I downloaded the cvs version...--disable-static and --enable-shared are ignored. cvs version: 1.95.9 TBD downloaded around noon of 2005-01-28 jpeg-6b: ..I need to figure out what I need to hack or send to the Makefile to make it build shared and not static. It seems to want to build static only. (and has no configure file) memtest86+-1.55.1: Nice feature I am using that SuSe started (to my knowledge). had to pass: make CC="gcc -no-pie -fno-stack-protector" *.la Hell: Most of my problems occur as a result of this "half-shared/half-static?" linked library. I am not familiar with .la files. In addition, when using a pre-built uclibc-system that boots and compiles nicely, I can't build a static toolchain as a result of this. (Craps out on binutils!) Perhaps I screwed up somewhere in the build process? I can probably bring my old toolchain over and try to use that for now to build a new toolchain (OS bootstrapping). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
