Re: tgamma function in math library

Perhaps you could write a wrapper called gamma() that does something like this:
=
structutsname *ub;
/* malloc, etc. */
if(uname(ub)) {
die();
}
if (strcmp(ub-sysname, Linux) {
tgamma();
} else {
gamma();
}
That's wont work - you can't call the wrapper gamma as well.
Either use configure, or hardcode it:
#ifdef __GLIBC__
#define gamma(x) tgamma(x)
#endif
and then use gamma() normally.

Yonetani Tomokazu thank you for your reply. i wrote a small shell script that i 'source' so that the environment variables are set. If you're performing the `approved method of upgrading your system', you're still running old kernel, which should return amd64.

Maybe you can make sense of these:
to do the runs and get the data:
for nice in 0; do for run in $(seq 1 5); do for j in $(seq 1 10); do echo building with nice=$nice, j=$j, run=$run
timelog; /usr/bin/time -a -p -o timelog nice -n $nice make buildworld buildkernel -j $j /dev/null 21; [ $?

ruby -ne 'BEGIN{$a=Hash.new{|h,k|h[k]=Hash.new{|h,k|h[k]=[]}}};if $_ =~ /nice=(\d+).*j=(\d+).*run=(\d+)/;
$nice,$j=$1.to_i,$2.to_i; end; next if $nice != 0; if /^(real|user|sys)[[:space:]]+([\d.]+)/; $a[$j][$1] $2.to_f;
end;END{print # ;$a[$a.keys[0]].keys.sort.each{|t| print \t#{t[0...3]} min\t#{t[0...3]} max\t#{t[0...3]}

\t#{a[0]}\t#{a[-1]}\t#{a[a.length/2]}}; puts}}' timelog |tee ~/tmp/make-j-runtimes
the gnuplot script for generating the graph is attached. you use it by running
gnuplot and then:
set terminal png
set output 'make-j-runtimes.png'
load 'make-j-runtimes.plt'
quit
I think you'll want to change the $(seq 1 10) to $(seq 1 5) if you're testing
this on a 2-way machine, and to $(seq 1 3) on an UP machine.
Let me know if you have any questions.

It's the very same make utility that is used to build world and kernel or to checkout the git src repository when you type 'make src-checkout' inside /usr. make(1) can only parse our own Makefiles. One more query i have is that, the 'make' referred to in the parallism analysis posted by Simon Shubert is the native DragonFly BSD make, is that correct ? Yes.

Too late - it already has 3,500 packages since my post this morning, so I figured a delay of a day wouldn't hurt. Some of the broken packages match the existing i386 results, so these are not necessarily amd64-specific problems. The builds are incremental. This and the others took so long because it was the first 2009Q3 build. sweeet!

This is because configure automatically converts amd64 to x86_64, and netbsd calls the platform (and architecture) x86_64.

Re: Fedora developer interested in DMA; query about build process
Michel Alexandre Salim wrote: I saw DMA mentioned recently at the DfBSD Digest, and it just so happened that there was a recent discussion in fedora-devel about removing sendmail from the base install. An overriding concern was that it would break reporting by tools like cron, even though most desktop users will not see the reports anyway; but it looks like DMA would fit the bill perfectly as a local-delivery MTA. That sounds great. dma will actually also deliver to remote servers (including TLS + LOGIN and MD5 authentication). I have question about the build process, though. I've patched some files to take care of BSD-isms -- having to define __DECONST in dma.h and removing the reference to st.st_mtimespec in dma.c -- but I'm stuck building. I'm using bmake, and get the following: I think the best would be if you'd write a generic non-BSD makefile.

I think we basically need to deal with multiple things here: 1. no race conditions when creating device nodes 2. give the user enough flexibility 3. allow the user to use chmod/chown? I don't have an opinion yet what is better, but maybe we should assess which kind of rules a user is expected to write (which rules do we want to ship per default?), and then we can decide whether it is worthwhile to put the rules management in the kernel, or whether it better goes into userland. cheers simon -- 3 the future +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /\ rock the past +++ space for low CHF NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \

I compiled the code on DragonFly-HEAD for comparison and I was surpised to see

FreeBSD 8- December snapshot was used to change the type of the second slice, sub-partition it, then install itself to replace Linux. Bad move, as along the way it screwed the hammerfs-bootable DFLY somehow. fdisk sees what was expected. The other three OS'en still boot and run nomally. Selecting DFLY (F1) returns 'invalid partition' What I get with either disklabel or disklabel64 off the DFLY Live/Install CD is: 'bad pack magic number' Attempts to edit the label give: 'Operation not supported by device' Now - IF I knew what bits or bytes to change and where, I'm happy to go after it with a hex editor... or dd. or whatever. But I had not made a disklabel copy, so you could post the output of dd if=/dev/adXXsYY count=4 | hd for us to debug. Alternatively, you can try killing the disklabel with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/adXXsYY count=4 and then re-creating it. it basically has to read: a: * 0 HAMMER b: $SWAPSIZE * swap where swapsize is the value you entered in the installer.

Re: New instructions for using git to track the DragonFly repo

Hello.
Since I have switched /home to a HAMMER PFS, mutt stopped reporting

relavant:

{

tmp-newly_created = 1; tmp-magic = 0; tmp-size = 0; continue; }
As HAMMER always reports st_size of directories to be 0, mutt thinks
that the mailbox is specified in $mailboxes but doesn't exist(yet). My
questions are, is checking st_size of a directory is usual on other
platforms/filesystems? Does anyone know of other filesystems on which a
directory can have st_size of zero?
SUSv3 says:
off_t st_sizeFor regular files, the file size in bytes.
For symbolic links, the length in bytes of the
pathname contained in the symbolic link.
[SHM]
For a shared memory object, the length in bytes.
[TYM]
For a typed memory object, the length in bytes.
For other file types, the use of this field is
unspecified.
Doesn't say anything about directories, so I guess mutt is wrong.
