Re: [9fans] runebase breaking libs build
Hi 9fans, I also attempted to build amd64 version some time ago, and it failed in libc. I gave up then, but since someone brought this up, let me ask my question here. Bell Labs doesn't distribute amd64 binaries. It seems you are running a compiler built before the long rune change (before May 2013), but the sources are more recent. In this case, you need to re-bootstrap the compiler, as described here: http://9fans.net/archive/2013/05/81 I followed this one and it solves the runebase problem, but libc build still fails as there is no amd64 subdir in libc. Looks like the labs version does not have amd64 code for libc. Is that correct? And is libc the only missing part? -- Zbigniew Radosz
Re: [9fans] runebase breaking libs build
there are a few subdirectories that need to be created when you build the amd64 code for the first time. maybe it would be nice to have a /sys/lib/newobjtype script to help, but if you just: cd /sys/src objtype=amd64 mk install and create the directories as needed you should be ok -Steve On 20 Jan 2015, at 09:50, David du Colombier 0in...@gmail.com wrote: I followed this one and it solves the runebase problem, but libc build still fails as there is no amd64 subdir in libc.

You have you apply these patches: hget http://9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/amd64.diff | ape/patch -p0 hget http://9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/amd64-fix.diff | ape/patch -p0 Also, you have to create the sub-directories in /amd64/bin.

I'll give it a shot. -- Zbigniew Radosz

It's the first time I see http://9fans.net/archive/ not reflecting today's e-mails. Worse than this the last message if from Sun, 16 Nov 2014 12:15:15 +0100.

mkdir -p ape auth aux bitsy dial disk fossil fs games ip ip/httpd ndb rune opc replica upas venti usb Shouldn't this be in a proto file? bin ape auth aux bitsy dial disk fossil fs games ip httpd ndb rune opc replica upas venti usb Whenever my mind wonders off thinking about revision control in Plan 9, my first thought is how useful proto would be as a building block for that and other applications. Yet it very seldom gets any mention, I really don't think it ought to be forgotten. Lucio. PS: Off topic, the last posting to comp.os.plan9 in Google seems to date back to September 2013. Am I the first to notice?
