Re: problem with Compiling kernel sources.

2000-10-11 Thread David Relson

Hiren,

The gcc-2.96 released with RedHat 7.0 is a development snapshot of the 
compiler, not an offical gcc release.  It has some changes which makes it 
impossible to build a kernel.  RedHat 7.0 also includes a rpm with kgcc ( 
"Kernel GCC" ) which provides the compile you should use for this task.

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of discussion on this 
mailing list of this topic.  Check the archives for more of the gory details.

Good luck!

David

problem with Compiling kernel sources.

2000-10-11 Thread hiren_mehta

Hi All,

Just 2 days back I bought RedHat Linux7. And I was trying to build
the kernel (make bzImage). But the build failed. It looks like
the compiler issue. But I am not sure and hence, I have posted this
on this list. 

Well, I tried one more thing. The RedHat Linux7 came with gcc package
gcc-2.96-54 And the build was failing with that. Then I
removed this package and installed egcs-1.1.2-30 package and tried
to build the kernel and I could build the kernel. If anybody has
faced the similar problem and could find the solution, please let
me know.

Thanks and regards,
-hiren

Hi All,

Just 2 days back I bought RedHat Linux7. And I was trying to build
the kernel (make bzImage). But the build failed. It looks like
the compiler issue. But I am not sure and hence, I have posted this
on this list. 

Well, I tried one more thing. The RedHat Linux7 came with gcc package
gcc-2.96-54 And the build was failing with that. Then I
removed this package and installed egcs-1.1.2-30 package and tried
to build the kernel and I could build the kernel. If anybody has
faced the similar problem and could find the solution, please let
me know.

Thanks and regards,
