Michael, What I've done in the past for things like this is download the SUSE SRPM for a package, and modify the .spec file to match the corresponding Red Hat SRPM for their Intel platform. I use the SUSE SRPM as the base, since they have a unified code base, so all the Linux/390 patches are included. I use the Red Hat .spec file so that the "requires" and "provides," etc., match up with what the rest of the package on a system expect.
Or, you could do like Adam says, and completely switch over to Debian/390. Or you could become an alpha tester for the Slackware Linux/390 distribution I've got laying around. :) Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Lambert Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: compile failures for the 2.4.21 and 2.4.23 kernels > Yes, I ran into this. > > You're using GCC 2.95. > > The kernel notes claim you need to use at least 3.2. > > I got it to work (Debian) with GCC 3.0. > > Adam I was afraid of that. Anyone have any tips of how to roll your own GCC rpm (& glibc & binutils)? I'm feeling the pain of running an unsupported distro. -- Michael Lambert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
