First Error
Something doesn't like -j2, (2 cores) 3-binutils fails with libtool
errors, even though there is a work around for this already
configured in it. I have tried with a few other fixes, but still
fails so going to restart the whole build set as 1 core and see what
happens.
Ok, that didn't work except for a SLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW build until it
stopped.
Started again back on 2 cores and >
0- with a bit of pre-read after the initial 40-~ fail rounds, I decided
to add a -j1 to libtool.desc as it hasn't a libtool.conf (line 32 from
binutils.conf with a [O] at the start of the line), libtool builds
anyway, but problems have been found with other package builds sometimes
if you don't, it seems to be the recomended fix.
1- binutils build problem - A mod to the binutils.conf to # out the
--enable-shared line 28, it now builds and works for now, just means
binutils is static so I don't know what problems will appear for later
packages. There is quite a lot on the web about this problem, it seems
that it's relevant to all the 2.36.x series with various work arounds,
problem seems to be fixed with removing any of "--enable-shared", or
"-fno-plt" from CFLAGS, or "-Wl,-z,now" from LDFLAGS. I've taken the
first option as we had it in our binutils.conf, which is what most
people/linux-versions seem to have done and recomend at this point of
time. There is a bugzilla on this one, 27360 (plus others linked),
suppose to be fixed next version as i read it.
2- xorg-video-intel is failing again, i'm yet to start to get to the
bottom of this one, had it in the past and don't remember the fix, need
to look up the past build logs and see what was done.
3- libevdev, now needs doxygen to build, i've added it in the
libevdev.cache and it built ok
4- nfs-utils, line needs adding in the nf-utils.conf to add a new line
17 as>
var_append extraconfopt ' ' "--with-rpcgen"
apparently now needed if rpcgen isn't installed and 40-minimal-xorg
doesn't install the ?relevant package. Later we will have to make it a
conditional of course.
5- 5-linux is failing, something about /lib/udev but I wanted to get
some of the others working first so i didn't worry about it, we don't
use t2's linux package with the Puppy linux series anyway, but I like it
to build as a check of the overall build.
and that's the stage i'm up too,
time for breakfast/brunch and a sleep
