Thanks.  The problem with referring readers to that page is that the
text for the driver should help people to decide which drivers they
should install.  But that manpage is installed by the driver, so you
can't read read it until you have installed the driver.

The part I originally quoted at the start of the thread (Sandy and
Ivy Bridges and Haswell).

Thanks.  Now that I'm on an intel I'll take a look at that re Atoms
at some point.

Possibly the manpage can be found online - on this box I don't have
a useful browser yet (still checking my rustc build) - I'll try to
remember to look later (maybe a day or two before I get there, this
Sandy Bridge i3 claims to be slightly faster than my Phenom (SBU
rerun on a completed LFS timed at 142s instead of 152s) but it seems
to be slower in BLFS packages.

Usually 'x thru y' or 'x thru present' or 'from x onwards' ; where x
here would be SandyBridge / Sandy Bridge .

Atoms:
'man 4 intel' usually notes which (strict) subset of Atoms are supported.

So I think the book should read "one of libgcrypt, nettle, nss or openssl"...
If nobody complains, I'll take care of that.

Looking at this tonight: Building with Qt5 needs also that -fPIC be added to
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS... It is not in Armin's patch, but maybe it could be added
in some way. Maybe add CXXFLAGS+=" -fPIC" to configure.ac at some place? (I am
not sure it is the right place...

Also, the patch could be used to fix also ruby's detection...

Bruce had added a patch for graphviz-2.38? but not sure it ever was used.

You can pass --disable-update-mime to configure to avoid that.

Even so, it won't matter, as make install will run
"update-mime-database" and regenerate files in /usr/share/mime.

Note that those are the files that should NOT be tracked by
package managers, they are so called runtime generated files.

[blfs-dev] vte-0.48.3

[Christoph Feikes]

I can't build vte-0.48.3 with all dependencies but GTK-Doc-1.26 and
Glade installed.

Output is:

.libs/libvte_2_91_la-vtegtk.o: In function
`vte_terminal_class_init(_VteTerminalClass*)':
/usr/src/pkgusr/vte/vte-0.49.1/src/vtegtk.cc:827: undefined reference to

/usr/bin/ld: .libs/libvte_2_91_la-vtegtk.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32
against undefined hidden symbol `_vte_marshal_VOID__STRING_BOXED' can
not be used when making a shared object
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried vte-0.49.1 and got the same error. I need a Gtk+-2 version of
vte only (vte-0.28.2; for the geany debugger plugin), so I didn't spend
much time investigating this; it doesn't seem trivial to fix, at least
for me.
