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
scsijon
from 5-linux, a problem, it seems glibc isn't actually building
/usr/bin/rpcgen although there is a line in the glibc.conf to do
so, it's not in the current package's configure either to actually
do something and build it. Looks like we have a package hive-off or
something - under investigation
AH, looking at some of my old build notes, it early came to visabity
that rpcgen went from glibc to libtirpc and on to pcsvc-proto, where
it now resides, I have added that to my 40-minimal-xorg.in file,
that should sort that problem out, it also should allow me to
revert nfs-utils, but i'll test a build with it left in first. ?I do
wonder if it should be included and be built with one of the others
though.
------------------------------------------------------
Well a full cleanup and fresh build started, lets see what fails
this time.
Ok, latest problems
1- Well somehow/somereason the develop/libtool package needs to be
set to 012-45---9, not just 01--45---9, the later causes a fail (just
stops) at 4-libtool, while with the extra 2 added it builds ok, don't
know whether it's something left over/missing from the rearangements
Rene did to the package stage coding or not, it just happens. Anyway,
that's my workaround for now.
2- mesa-demos has freeglut, a pre-requisite, in it's .cache file, but
for some reason it's not appearing with a X in the relevant
config/40/packages file, for now i've added it into my
40-minimal-xorg.in so it is set correctly and it builds.
3- rpcsvc-proto ocassionally fails to a rpcsvc-proto.err file, even
though it actually installs everything correctly, when it does fail
it's complaining about a duplicate directory, but it is not
everytime, just sometime, so i don't know why. I've set my configure
to stop if a 5- file fails, and all i'm doing is changing it from
rpcsvc-proto.err to rpcsvc-proto.log and it goes on in the build.
Will need a fix somewhere at a point in time, but I don't
know/remember where or how Rene fixes these.
4- xf86-video-intel has gone back to failing for me, have no idea
why, error seems to complain about xorg-macros (xorg-util-macros in
T2), even though that's built and already installed. Maybe the
xorg-macros is too new for it as it's currently 19.1 and the
xf86-video-intel is complaining about wanting a minimum of
18.something. I've turned it 'off' with a O for now, my try
installing an earlier 18.? xorg-util-macros when i set my second T2
build base (hopefully in the next week or two when another of my
development boxes become free). Or maybe a patch is needed for
xf86-video-intel, I don't know.
5- By turning the stack smashing protector on in the Config Advanced
Settings, it causes 5-gcc to crash (badly) makes the build unuseable
and you need a ./scripts/Cleanup -full, turn it off in the config
(-cfg 40 for me) and start again, seem to remember that the SSP
hasmore than just off and on nowadays, from memory I think it's now
has 3 alternatives 'off', 'weak' and 'strong' . Something for rene
when he has time to investigate and add to his configure system.
6- 5-linux fails still, so i'm stopping here.
And now we restart with those fixes incorperated/added and well see
what happens next time.
---------------------------------------
two last problems found
1- libusb wants udev to be available , after trying a few different
methods the easiest fix is to change udev to also build at stage 3 so
it's available from there, the stage line in udev.desc becomes
---3-5---9 instead of -----5---9.
2- libeudev now needs doxygen to build, not just for it's docs, i've
moved doxygen from 127.000 to 112.400 and that now builds.
And hopefully that has sorted 40-~ out, a last clean build to check,
then on to 50-~.
Should really sort the x86-video-intel problem out first, but that can
await my second dev box becoming free.
---------------------------------------
And I now have built a matching set of packages for a 40-minimal-xorg
build twice, so that is now sorted. YEAH!
Looking back over my notes for this 40-minimal-xorg build (, yes i still
prefer hand written log notes, blame it on 40+ years of computing,) I
seem to have missed writing that udev and usbutils have a circular
dependancy so you need to build with the stages 3 as well as 5(, the
stage line in both .desc files now become ---3-5---9).
Also, I am finding that even though a number of packages are in other
$packages.cache files, they are not always appearing with a X (build) in
the build's configure file. Not sure why though and it's not everytime,
just sometimes, and different files can be miss-set so if you have a
package fail to build, maybe one of the things to check is the builds
config package file to see if it's there with a X (build) or has a O
(off) instead. One especially seems to be doxygen which I have now added
to my 40-minimal-xorg.in target file, I can't see why it is not being
automatically added to the build, as it is in my libevdev.cache file.
Oh, and if you have a fail of this type, don't just restart the build,
blow the build away and start again, I know it takes time, but some of
these missing packages have pre-requisites that have to be built at
earlier stages, with parts included in other packages before the package
that complained failed.
So i'll consider for now that 40-minimal-xorg gas completed and passed
building.
There are a couple of things left over and awaiting my second
development system becoming free, but nothing that should hold things up
at this stage, that I can see.
I'll take a day or two off now and then start a 50-minimal-desktop build.
