[gentoo-user] Heads Up - gcc-4.5.4 makes trouble
Hi, I've just been bitten by this * surprise * After upgrading to gcc-4.5.4 (from 4.5.3) some packages / ebuilds fail since gcc-4.5.4 doesn't include the libffi.so.4 library. I had to rebuild dev-lang/perl (all versions here 2.7 3.2) dev-libs/gobject-introspection dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common and I'm not sure that's enough. Unfortunately, revdep-rebuild doesn't fix the problems. The problem didn't occur on a system where I'm using gcc-4.6.x as standard compiler. Helmut.

[gentoo-user] GCC/Build Problems
I was doing a system upgrade. Following the instructions from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=2chap=1 emerge --sync emerge --update --deep world So after that, everything was updated except build dependencies and packages that had a use flag change on them, so I believe building one of the build dependencies failed causing all the problems I am having. I did: emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world So I would often get the message configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details So, what I did is get another gcc compiler as a bin package, and set it as my default with gcc-config. I then tried to rebuild libtool.

[gentoo-user] Virtualbox - Bridged networking not working with broadcom-sta driver
Hi, I'm running Gentoo on an Acer Travelmate 7750 laptop. This particular laptop has a Broadcom wireless NIC that only works with the proprietary Broadcom wl driver as provided by the broadcom-sta ebuild. Wireless by itself works perfectly fine, but when I use virtualbox with the virtual NIC bridged to my wlan0 interface, networking in the guest OS doesn't work properly. I have made the following observations: * when the guest OS is configured to use DHCP it doesn't get an IP from my DHCP server, but get an autoconfig IP instead * however, I can see the DHCP requests towards my DHCP server in Gentoo when monitoring the wlan0 interface with # tcpdump -i wlan0 * when I configure a static IP on the guest OS, I cannot ping from the guest to the Gentoo host or my default gateway, but pinging from the Gentoo host or my gateway to the guest OS works fine I manage my wireless NIC through /etc/conf.d/net, using wpa_supplicant with the wext driver. I also tried using networkmanager, but that gave the exact same result. Under Ubuntu 12.04 the network bridge between the vbox NIC and the wireless NIC works fine. This is also with the proprietary wl driver, same version and all. Anyone an idea what might be wrong with my setup? Best, Tommy

Perhaps it's something that directly affects ebroute, or perhaps it's something like power management. Compare sysctl.conf on Ubuntu with the one on your Gentoo system. Also compare the configs of the running kernel. 2) Perhaps gentoo-sources is applying a patch which causes bridging with the wireless to break. Trying kernel-sources may answer this. 3) Perhaps there's been an upstream regression since 3.2.0. Perhaps using the 3.2 series of gentoo-sources would help you find this. 4) Perhaps Ubuntu is adding a patch which fixes a bug or adds functionality. Short of looking at each patch Ubuntu's applying, I don't know how you'd figure this one out. -- :wq

Re: [gentoo-user] GCC/Build Problems
Every time I take the time to think through and write something like
this up, I solve it pretty quickly afterwards. I'll tell you how I
solved it. GCC wasn't the problem, and gcc-config -l wouldn't of done
any good because I only had one gcc. So I created a simple hello.c
that fprint(Hello Working GCC\n); Then I tried to compile it. I
noticed in the error message (btw, it did not compile) about a library
and binutils. So I already had my emerge setup that if I wanted to
install a bin-package, I could, so I grabbed a bin package of
binutils. hello.c compiled, but I didn't want to get excited too soon.
I had to see if emerge would work without error, and it did. I
compiled a newer kernel and now I need to recompile libtools because
you're supposed to do that everytime you upgrade your gcc. I will
recompile binutils also so it will have optimizations for my hardware.

[gentoo-user] 32bit or 64bit
So the same old query again I guess. What architecture should I use for a machine with 3GB RAM and a 64bit processor? I believe 64bit should be given serious consideration only if RAM is gt or = 4 GB, even there 32bit is allowable with PAE if I'm not wrong. So what is recommended? There are as such no special use cases to go 64bit for me.

There are as such no special use cases to go 64bit for me. I'd go with 64-bit mostly because it's my impression more people (both devs and users) are using it now than 32-bit, so ebuilds/packages get more testing under 64-bit. But you don't say why you believe 64-bit shouldn't be seriously considered for a machine with 4 GiB RAM.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Ángstróm Distribution: Sourcecode download?
Hi, does someone know a way to download the Angstrom-Distribution and the according toolchain to build the binarie via crosscompiling on my Gentoo-system (I only found the binaries...) ? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

I only boot 64-bit here, but different than all you heavy-lifters my machines are 98% stable, 2% ~amd64. That said I do have problems not only with Flash on my machine with 2 Nvidia cards but also with OpenGL. However none of that on any other 64-bit machines. As for the win32 codec stuff I use Windows VMs to watch any stuff I want to watch, and a fairly trim Gentoo 32-bit VM so that I can run Linux apps to convert certain Windows format files, etc. Cheers, Mark

No trouble with Flash on either nVidia or AMD. No trouble playing Diablo III or WoW on WINE with apps-emu/playonlinux and nVidia. Recently switched to an AMD GPU. No trouble with Flash there, either. Haven't tried WoW, but I've got lots of weird artifacts in Diablo III which don't make the game unplayable, but might to a less-tolerant person. This is all on an amd64 system. I don't know what it's like in 32-bit x86 on Gentoo, as I've never run that form of Gentoo; I let multilib handle things there. -- :wq

That being said, I think for future proofing 64bit is the way to go, I can see a time when 32bit is going to get deprecated. If you want hardware-accelerated virtualization, you will need to run a 64-bit host if you want to run a 64-bit guest. That much I know. From my experience on Windows, I can note that you can use hardware-accelerated virtualization of 32-bit guests on both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. These are just properties of the hardware; there's nothing special about Linux or Windows in this regard. -- :wq
