As is, you're defining int as char argv[] (e.g. char *) instead of char **.
What will likely happen is you'll get a segmentation fault when you
try to run the program, since your printf format spec has %s, but
you're passing it a char.
In fact, if you compile it with -Wall, you'll see the two problems
I've mentioned:
t.c:13: warning: second argument of 'main' should be 'char **'
t.c: In function 'main':
t.c:20: warning: format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 2 has

Change char argv[] to char *argv[] or char **argv and it should work properly.
Note also that your main should have an int return type and should
return a value.

I ran into this, too. Since I didn't want OpenGL support anyway, I
just added OPTIONS support to this port, and one of those options is
to disable OpenGL support and submitted this as a PR.
The PR hasn't fully posted yet, but here's the URL for when it's in the system:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131681
The patch is here if you're interested:
http://pflog.net/~floyd/gpac-libgpac.patch
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gpac-libgpac
patch /path/to/gpac-libgpac.patch
Then just make config and unselect the option for OPENGL, and it should build.
The port should have OpenGL as a dependency if OpenGL support is
enabled - as it is now, it's building with GL support if it finds
GL/gl.h and libGL.so, but it should be listed explicitly as a
dependency in the Makefile. I'll work on another patch for that.
As for getting it to build as-is, I think it'd be sufficient to add
-I${LOCALBASE}/include to --extra-cflags and -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to
--extra-ldflags, but I'm not sure this is the proper way to do that
(I'd have to check the porter's handbook). It does in fact build
properly by adding those, though so just update those lines in the
Makefile to:
--extra-cflags=${CFLAGS} ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} -fPIC
-I${LOCALBASE}/include \
--extra-ldflags=${LDFLAGS} ${PTHREAD_LIBS} -L${LOCALBASE}/lib \

Now, is there a way to teach portmaster to build or rebuild

like:
What I do is the following via make.conf, which will work for
portmaster/portupgrade or manual builds:
# set MAKE_ARGS for the build target(s)
.if !(make(*install) || make(package))
MAKE_ARGS+=-j8

Then as you find ports that don't build properly, add an entry like this:
# some ports don't like -j8, so we can undo the MAKE_ARGS addition for those
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
MAKE_ARGS:=${MAKE_ARGS:C/-j8//}
.endif
It's a bit of a hack, but I've had decent success with this. Enough
ports fail to build with -jX, that I'd never do the above on a
production machine, especially since it's possible for some sort of
silent error that produces an unpredictable binary. But for my home

I have several partitions/filesystems in my computer and I would like to have full access to all of them.

I can mount the partition with: mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad4s1 /mnt/linux note: the partition is actually a ext3fs... But if I enter the mount point and do ls, I get: ls: /mnt/linux: Bad file descriptor Is is possible you are running into a case where the inode size of the partition is not the previous default for e2fsprogs of 128. I have a patch that addresses this, but I am hesitant to suggest it, since I have not yet validated that it does not trample some additional ext2 metadata. However, in the testing I've done, it has worked with all the tests I've put it through. You can verify the inode size with: tune2fs -l /dev/ad4s1 | grep Inode size It is likely 256 (the new e2fsprogs default), in which case you will not be able to see or use the mount without a fix.

Re: Mounting ext3fs partition
Hi josh, Exactly, it is 256. So according to you, I can't use the mounted filesystem, right? Could you please explain in more detail, what the problem is? Thanks in advance. I believe around e2fsprogs version 1.40.5 or so, they changed the default inode size from 128 to 256. The current ext2fs driver in FreeBSD has a hard-coded inode size defined: #define EXT2_INODE_SIZE128 I have a patch that dynamically determines this size, but I do not yet have a good enough understanding of the ext2/3 spec to decide if the changes I made are sufficient to fix the problem or if there is some risk of breakage because the extra 128 is required for some metadata of some sort. What happened in your case is something I was afraid of and what prompted me to look into a fix in the first place - namely, newer Linux distributions or even file systems created by e2fsprogs from ports in FreeBSD will be unusable with the current ext2fs driver, since it assumes a size of 128. There is some more information here regarding the patch and its current status: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2008-11/msg00421.html I (or even better, someone more knowledgeable about file systems) need to read through the ext2/3 spec and determine if the changes I've made cause any breakage.

Re: Xeon Quad Core (Was: Server Freezing Solid)
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0 the regular i386 release. I would prefer to keep it that way if migration to the 64bit release would mean rebuilding from scratch (there is probably an easier way to convert an i386 release to a amd64 release). Another poster seemed to indicate that the i386 release would run just fine on a quad core chip. Yes, i386 will run just fine on a 64-bit Xeon. And no, there isn't an easier (well, one could argue it's easy, but tedious) way to convert to an amd64 release. Would there be a major performance gain with amd64 over that of the i386 build on a Xeon Quad Core? It depends entirely on your workload. Some things benefit, others may actually slow down. One example that seems to benefit in general is multimedia type applications (e.g. media encoding/decoding/transcoding).

Re: More RAM for buffers?
inactive, cache, and buffer are all different types of buffer. That is my understanding as well. I'm fairly sure that inactive is memory used by program code. When the program terminates, the memory is marked as inactive, which means the next time the program starts the code can simply be moved back to active and the program need not be reloaded from disk. I think non-program code can also be inactive. For example, top memory output before: Mem: 337M Active, 1455M Inact, 407M Wired, 352K Cache, 214M Buf, 1745M Free and after: find /usr/src -type f -print0 | xargs -0 cat /dev/null 21 Mem: 348M Active, 1905M Inact, 402M Wired, 912K Cache, 214M Buf, 1288M Free I am also not sure exactly what constitutes each of these.

Re: Is it possible to run i386 only, on a amd64 freebsd 7?
O.K I understand that. So I can see that unless I have an i386 FreeBSD build, I really cannot install those i386 only software titles. In that situation I assume I can only use amd64 ports and software. I have an idea though, would it be possible to build a i386 FreeBSD on an another partition. And use it to run i386 software while using the amd64 FreeBSD? I tried something similar using an i386 chroot, but wine failed to run (SIGABRT). If you need these i386-only ports/software, you should probably just run the i386 version of FreeBSD. Do you have a compelling reason for using the amd64 release (e.g. 4GB of RAM)?

Re: security updates
of course, for such use I will take the or stable version :-) I was sure it was easy :-) thanks jdd Just to clarify, X-STABLE does not indicate end-user stability. It indicates the ABI is (generally) stable (ABI-compatibility is maintained within a branch). There are exceptions, but this generally holds true. That said, -RELEASE is a better idea for a production system, unless you have some dire need for a feature/enhancement in -STABLE.

Re: ATi Intel graphics
Jail. I suspect I could build the base system plus X and copy everything over to a jailed dir. Once there, I could set -m32 in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS of the system make.conf. Build WINE in the jail, add a /usr/local... bin32, lib32 and libexec32 to the main (non-jail) part of the OS, and copy everything there. Then update the path and libpath for my system... OK, not simple, but it'll be an interesting experiment. I tried this a while ago with a chroot. I installed 7.0-RELEASE/i386 there, and built ports inside the chroot. You need to also do a few things to trick things like libtool (and other auto* tools) that your arch is i386 and not amd64. From memory, I think you need to: env UNAME_m=i386 make ... For what it's worth, I got wine (and all depends) built, but it did not work. It is likely I made a mistake along the way, of course. I believe the resulting binary was generating a SIGABRT. Naturally, if you have success doing this, it might be worth publishing the (excruciating) details.

Re: Questions about healthd and mprime
OK, so _now_ I've looked around and found out that a lot of folks these days heat up their CPUs by running the mprime thingy. Swell. But I don't know diddly poo about this program. So can somebody please tell me the set of best command line options for the thing if your only goal is to stress your CPU? Thanks in advance. If you just want to heat up your CPU, this should suffice: yes /dev/null Once for each CPU/core. mprime is useful to stress test the cores, looking for a situation where the core fails. This can cause odd system problems, and not necessarily a crash or lock up. But in terms of just heating the cores up, yes should do the trick.

I think I'll wait and try to learn more about mprime. But thanks. Then what is wrong with my suggestion of yes /dev/null? It does not touch the disk at all (other than to read the yes binary into memory). It will sufficiently generate a load on the CPU to increase the temperature. You might get the CPU 1-2C hotter with mprime, but I doubt 1 C is going to make or break you. Also, if you are running the amd64 release, the mprime port does not work for the amd64 arch. I've been able to compile it manually, but the port will not work on the amd64 arch.

You are running the GENERIC kernel then, and while the processors are visible, it's only using one since you are not running with SMP support. You can build the SMP kernel (basically, GENERIC + options needed for SMP) by doing the following: cd /usr/src make kernel KERNCONF=SMP Then reboot, and it should pick up the newly installed kernel with SMP support. Note that this backs up your old kernel to /boot/kernel.old, so if the new one fails to boot, at the beastie menu, you can boot with the old kernel if necessary.

Re: Too Much Context Switching? - FIXED
I will, probably as part of upgrading to 7.0 (which I may accelerate, given this point). I'm just ecstatic at the difference I'm already seeing, and specifically wanted to make note of it in the archives. Point very much taken, though. :-) It's trivial to change to libthr, as pointed out earlier in this thread. You simply add an entry/entries to /etc/libmap.conf (see man libmap.conf for details) and then restart whatever it is that is currently running against libkse. I'll second Kris' recommendation to move to libthr. I saw a drastic improvement in MySQL and ffmpeg performance on 6.2 when I switched from libkse to libthr. Certainly 7.0 would give it to you automatically, but there's no reason not to use libmap to use it now, as an interim solution.

Re: CPU temp's on core 2 duo, should they be significantly different?
I've noticed that cpu.0 is consistently hotter than cpu.1, even on an unloaded machine. Is that because that core's doing housekeeping work whilst the other is truly idle? dev.cpu.0.temperature: 44 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 29 I notice some differences on my quad-core (Q6600) CPU, too: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 35 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 34 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 27 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 30 The differences also stay around the same when I yes /dev/null 4 times to load up each core: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 47 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 45 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 38 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 42 The discrepancy isn't as much as in your case, though. 15 C is pretty significant. It could be that either your heat spreader or heat sink are concave or convex causing one of the cores to get hotter. On my dual-core box, here are the idle temps: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 33 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 31 and under load: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 48 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 46 I'd recommend taking the heat sink off and seeing how the thermal grease is spread on the CPU's head spreader and on the heatsink itself. If it looks lopsided or extremely thick on one side of the CPU package or extremely thin (to the point where you can still see the sheen of the heatsink or heat spreader), then re-mount the heatsink and try to make sure it's evenly distributing the pressure down on the CPU package.

Re: CPU temp's on core 2 duo, should they be significantly different?
Not sure if the core duos work the same as older 2 CPU and 4 CPU motherboards, but there are some BIOS functions that always use the first CPU. So you never get true SMP because the hardware uses the first CPU more to service interrupts. True, but interrupt handling and minimal background processing should not cause a core to be 15 C hotter. I guess the original poster can mention the load on both cores (or post a top snapshot) so we can see if there is some load on the system.

Re: mrtg peak on reboot / snmp-issue?
Sorry the blackberry is truncating your original mail, but yes I have noticed the same thing on my setup. In my case I am using a custom rrdtool perl script. While not a fix for the actual problem, my workaround has been to use a CDEF in my rrdgraph command to set the value to 0 if it exceeds a sane maximum. I'm not sure off hand if mrtg has a similar capability but you might be able to set a max value for the graph so at least it won't skew the graph and hide the rest of the data points. Another option is to use a custom script to collect the values by grabbing the data from snmp and then sanitizing them prior to outputting to the value.

Re: Make buildworld
I did some testing, at least for me, I get the most improvements when the number of cores or processors equals the -j number. You can make it higher, even double it, withoout hurting things, but 95% of the improvements come from matching the number of processes to the number of available CPUs (and that' by my own testing, not theory). I've found that on my Q6600 (quad core) system, the optimal is 8 though the improvements after 5 were minimal. It depends if the jobs are I/O bound or not and the scheduler. Although even with ffmpeg, the optimal number of threads with this quad core system is 8. On my previous system with a dual-core chip with the same hardware, the magic number was 4 (again, 2x the number of cores). This was with the ULE scheduler, I'm not sure if the same holds true for the 4BSD scheduler or not. And as you said, it's important to use make without -j if the build fails before reporting bugs, since there are no guarantees that world will build properly with multiple jobs.

Re: Cross compiling i386 packages on amd64

Hi all,

There are some tricks you can play. Notably, you need to trick auto*
tools into thinking it's an i386 system. I think setting UNAME_m=i386
does the trick there:
uname -a

I believe there is something else I'm forgetting that you need to do
to make compilation happy for some ports, but I can't recall them at
the moment.
Of course, things that expect to talk to an i386 kernel aren't going
to work, and you may have issues with things that use hand-written
ASM.
Try setting UNAME_m though and see if it helps. It might also be wise
to set ARCH=i386 and/or TARGET_ARCH=i386 in /etc/ports.conf.

Re: home dir executable (!/bin/sh, chmod+x) shell scripts won't run without sh script
I keep reading about making sh scripts executable with #!/bin/sh on the first line and chmod to executable. That works with all my system scripts (rc, etc.) or my system would be DOA, no doubt. When I do it in my home folder, however, running script gives command not found. That typically indicates the path you've specified in the sh-bang does not exist. Another common problem there is if the shell script was written out in DOS format. If you're certain the first line looks proper, and that the path exists (/bin/sh most certainly should), try: perl -p -i -e 's/\r\n/\n/' foo.sh Then see if it works. scripts executable, they all say the same thing, and they all don't work. How did I get to be so special?

Re: home dir executable (!/bin/sh, chmod+x) shell scripts won't run without sh script
How are you running the commands? The problem is probably to do with your path. Your home directory isn't typically and shouldn't be in your PATH (try echo $PATH). You need to specify the full path to your scripts or place a ./ in front of the script name if in the same directory. e.g. ./myscript.sh or /home/username/myscript.sh Ahh I misunderstood his email.

Re: Help for very bad perf for MySQL
Is Hyperthreading enabled (by default it is not under FreeBSD) mysql is heavily dependent on threading, if it is not built and linked into the freebsd threads package you will get poor performance. Some folks have installed the linux compat libs and linked mysql into the linux threads package and reported good results. Actually, on 6.2, it's better to use libthr instead of libpthread. This can be done for MySQL only, but to test this without recompiling MySQL, he can: % echo libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 /etc/libmap.conf Then restart the mysql server and test again. I noticed a huge increase in performance on 6.2 with libthr instead of libpthread. It wasn't a 10x improvement, though, so there is definitely something else going on with his setup.

Can you paste the config.log from the port's work source directory

Can you try the following and see if it compiles?
echo '#include stdio.h\nint main(void){ printf(hello world!\\n);
return 0;}\n' t.c ; gcc t.c -o t; ./t; rm t.c

Re: Dangers of using a non-base shell
It's been drawn to my attention not to use bash from the ports
collection, because if one of it's dependencies (gettext or libiconv)
fails or is updated significantly, it could break, and prevent login.
The suggested solution was to use a base shell (such as sh) and append
'bash -l' to .shrc to automatically enter bash.
Personally, I use zsh for root's shell, and I just have the port
compile it statically, so I don't have to worry about a broken
dependency. There are other caveats, of course.
In my case, I just throw this in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/shells/zsh}
NO_SHARED=yes

Now, here's the weird part: if I restart sshd, it works fine. As a workaround, I can do something ugly like /etc/rc.d/sshd restart in another rc script, but would obviously like to avoid this and find the root cause. Any ideas?

Re: Building a new workstation - dual or quad-core CPU for FreeBSD 7?
In general, if you are running a multi-process or multi-threaded workload, FreeBSD 7 will be able to make good use of 8 CPU cores. Over the past 2 years we have done extensive benchmarking and optimizations that have resulted in *huge* performance improvements on many common workloads on 8-core systems. FreeBSD 7 is now regularly outperforming Linux on the workloads we have compared. In the near future we will be widening our scope to 16 core systems as well as investigating more benchmarks as we find them. Isn't the default scheduler still 4BSD on -CURRENT? Is ULE considered stable on SMP systems now, and does it really outperform 4BSD? If so, will it be set as the default scheduler once 7.0 is released? To the original question, go with the Q6600, especially if you can get a G0 stepping. It'll easily do 3.2 GHz (lowered 8x multiplier with 400 MHz FSB) if you get DDR2-800 capable RAM. Even the B3 stepping will do 3.2 I think, but will run hotter. I would avoid P35 chipsets for now, as there is limited support for the south bridge (ICH9). I think there are some patches (which may be merged into -CURRENT, not sure). I'm not sure whether the Marvell chipset(s) used on the P35 boards are supported or not, and USB may or may not work. The P965 chipset boards will support the Q6600 and many of them will support Penryn when it comes out (the 45nm based true quad core Intel CPU). I have an Asus P5B and a Q6600 running at 3.4 GHz on 6.2-RELEASE and it screams (8:20 to build world with make -j8, for example). So even 6.2 will take good advantage of the 4 cores, and I imagine it'll only get better when 7.0 is released. I'd just avoid the bleeding edge motherboards/chipsets.

Re: Building a new workstation - dual or quad-core CPU for FreeBSD 7?
Yes, 4BSD is still the default, although you definitely want to use ULE for performance reasons (NB: only on 7, dont use ULE on 6). I don't know whether the release engineers plan to change that default, but I will check. Great, thanks for the info. Good to know, I'll be sure to use ULE when 7.0 is released. :) JFYI, buildworld is a really bad benchmark for testing SMP performance in general (on 4 cpus it is not too bad), because the makefiles are not written to efficiently parallelize builds on many CPUs, so large parts end up running with only a single make job at a time. Understood, just a data point. :) Probably a better one: ffmpeg encoding H.264 content with -threads 8 is nearly 4x as fast as a single threaded ffmpeg process, so it's scaling well at least for ffmpeg (linked against pthread).

Re: Building a new workstation - dual or quad-core CPU for FreeBSD 7?
That's good to know. You should be using libthr for threaded performance though :) That benchmark is probably almost all userland though, so performance may not suffer much from libpthread. Oh I wasn't sure if libthr was the preferred thread library for 6.2 also (I'd heard that was the case for -CURRENT). I should look into whether ffmpeg can be built with libthr instead and compare performance. Somewhat off topic, so I'll leave it at that, but thanks again for the great info. I'm really looking forward to 7.0-RELEASE, obviously :) Josh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Building UNSTRIPPED binaries in ports?
Is there some make.conf or compile time flag that I can set that would prevent the stripping from happening? Or would I just have to manually edit the makefile someplace -- and if so, can anyone give a pointer as to where? Setting the strip command to /bin/true or something, perhaps -- but I can't be sure if the strip_command is being used. A quick perusal of /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk shows this: # WITH_DEBUG- If set, debugging flags are added to CFLAGS and the # binaries don't get stripped by INSTALL_PROGRAM. # Besides, individual ports might add their specific # to produce binaries for debugging purposes. # You can override the debug flags that are passed to # the compiler by setting DEBUG_FLAGS.

I've seen OpenBSD and some other variants of Unix clearing /tmp on bootup. But FreeBSD doesn't seem to do so. Is there any specific reason for this variation or is it just a matter of taste between these different Operating Systems?

Re: Migrating from i386 to AMD64
Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Yes, it should work fine. You may need to update /etc/fstab of course, and any other settings that need to change along with the motherboard change, but other than that it should just work. Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? If you want to run the AMD64 version, yes the BKM is a re-install. But you need not install the AMD64 version, the i386 version will run fine on the X2. I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Then stick with i386. Your existing installation (assuming you've not used processor-specific CFLAGS to build world and/or ports) should work fine.

Re: No CD/DVD devices found after booting from FreeBSD 6.2 CD 1
Because before it starts it relies on BIOS to provide services (in 16-bit x86 mode), but after the kernel starts, it must use its own drivers (32-bit or 64-bit, depending on your choice) and it seems it doesn't have the right drivers. Most CD/DVD drives are standard and register as ATA or SCSI drives but, as you see now, there are those that require special support. It looks like the chipset on that particular Dell model is the NVIDIA nForce 430. Others have had success with that chipset, and even a similar Dell model according to this page: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html You may want to try updating the BIOS. The entry for the Dell E521 mentions a BIOS update.

Re: automatically starting PostgreSQL
Execute rights, yes, but you shouldn't rename it to foo.sh under 6.2 -- that's not how things are supposed to work in recent releases. Without the PROVIDE: in the rc script, it won't get executed unless it has an .sh extension. man rc has details, but .sh should still work and I think is required without the rcorder keywords.

Re: Help Finding Disk Drive Usage
So why does du report only 2.0 GB of usage while df reports over 6 GB? Where has my storage gone? Or do I not understand proper usage of du? If you removed files that still had open file handles (e.g. from /var/log), they are likely still allocated and showing up in df, but not du since they're not on the filesystem anymore. Restart any daemons that you removed log files for, and the space will show up. Or a simple reboot should fix things.

Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
New to FreeBSD. How can I update my LD_LIBRARY_PATH? In Linux I modify my /etc/ld.so.conf file and run ldconfig. Is there an equivalent here? A pointer to docs would be fine. There are a couple of ways. First, you can look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the default value of ldconfig_paths. On this 6.2-RELEASE system, it's set to: ldconfig_paths=/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg So you can edit /etc/rc.conf and append to that list. E.g. if you wanted to add /usr/local/my_libs, you'd put the following in /etc/rc.conf: ldconfig_paths=/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg /usr/local/my_libs Another possibility, based on a cursory read of /etc/rc.d/ldconfig, would be to add the path to /etc/ld-elf.so.conf (which probably doesn't exist by default). Either way, once you've added your path, you'd run: /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start Which should add the libraries from the added path.
