I'd like to ask you what gcc version you use. I use 4.1.1 to compile the applications, and so far has worked perfectly. It can also compile the kernel. But it seems that I can't compile the nvidia driver. I could with kernel 2.6.16, but I can't now with kernel 2.6.18. And there is another driver that I've installed under debian, with kernel 2.6.16 and gcc-4.0.3, and I can't in the LFS with gcc-4.1.1. So I am going to install gcc-4.0.3, but I don't know if I can have problems if I have binaries compiled with different compilers. What do you think?
Slow down. I think it's because of linux-2.6.18, not gcc. 2.6.18 broke the ATI module, too, which I'd been building regularly. Have you been able to build the Nvidia module with gcc-4.1.x before? If you have, I don't think they've suddenly broken it now. Breaking because of the kernel is much more likely, in fact. The Linux kernel changes it's API every release. For modules in the kernel tree, they get tested and fixed. But external modules can break if they're not keeping up with the bleeding edge of kernel development. I'd expect the next Nvidia release to be fixed in this respect. What version are you trying to build? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
