[Devil-linux-develop] DL 1.3

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey folks,

you can now start using DL 1.3 again.
Things which currently don't work:
grsecurity
pax
exec-shield
gnugk (openh323gk)

Oh yeah, DL 1.3 doesn't have any support for kernel 2.4 anymore.

Would be awesome if you guys could start help testing and get the errors out.

[Devil-linux-develop] DL 1.3

[Serge L. <fi...@in...>]

Hi,

I'm really sorry for troubling people, who is testing 1.3. I've updated kernel
to 2.6.21.5 but I still can't adjust the kernel config file and "make prepare"
freezes on "make oldconfig" phase .

As a workaround (I use it myself) I suggest to _temporary_ add the following to
the scripts/prepare:

-       make oldconfig || exit 1
+       ( yes | sed 's/y//' | make oldconfig ) || exit 1

it allows to set default values for all unknown kernel options.

Heiko, could you please point me the right direction? I copied full .config to
cripts/config/linux-2.6/linux_config but the next time the system asks me
again... Have I missed something critical?

In some kernel releases that happens, don't know why.

One thing which may cause you trouble:
the .config for the kernel is build out of several files from the
scripts/config/linux-2.6/ directory, maybe one of the CPU related ones
causes you trouble. There are also some scripts which modify the .config,
check the scripts/prepare file.

What I forgott to mention: DL 1.3 requires a new lfssystem, you'll find it
on the FTP server or any of its mirrors.
The new lfssystem is only for i686 and up, I very much doubt that anybody
would try to compile DL on a 486. ;-)

Hi,

After unselect some packages when I had error on compiling process(and I
forgot which packages are unselected), I finally pass through the make
build process. Although I don't know why and how, this is my first time
to get here. After that, I did make install and I get an error messges
on gcc installation. The error messages on last line of
/data/build/tmp/LOGS/install/gcc is like this:

cp: cannot overwrite directory `/data/build/tmp/ISO/cdtree/lib' with
non-directory

I appreciate to show me how to fix this.

Looks like you're missing something here.
Can you run:
make clean install iso

If it fails again, you'll have to start over with:
make mrproper unpack prepare build install iso

Problems can also be caused from a Redhat based distribution (like Fedora).
Here's how to fix this:

Hi Heiko,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not running on a RedHat or Fedora
system. My system is SuSe Professional 9.1. Here is my uname -a output:
Linux develope01 2.6.4-52-smp #1 SMP Wed Apr 7 02:11:20 UTC 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've done make clean install, but the result is the same: cp: cannot
overwrite directory `/data/build/tmp/ISO/cdtree/lib' with non-directory

So, I proceed on second suggestion. It is doing "make build". I'll let
you know when any result comes out.

Thanks.

I think you need to do an "unpack" too.

  make mrproper unpack prepare build install iso
