Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Continous build errors

[KyleJHarper <ky...@ca...>]

Thank you for your speedy reply.

Yes, I have tried building on different physical hosts as follows:
Machine #1: Dell machine with hyperthreading p4.  Not sure of motherboard
specs.  1 GB of ram.
Machine #2: Personal PC.  Uses P5k-VM (asus) board.  Q6600 processor.  4 GB
of ram.
Virtual Environment: Tried both "IDE" and "SCSI" host adapters with VMs. 
Gave each VM around 512-768 MB of ram and 2 cores of my CPU.
Note: Both the physical machines and the VMs all had more than 1 logical cpu
core.  Not sure if that helps.

As a programmer myself (not linux of course) I always try process of
elimination and duplication when I stumble onto a problem.  I have tried so
many variations (hosts, drive types, config types) at this point I feel I
must be missing something on a basic level.

As you have requested I wll continue to only use the default config.  That
way we can just try to get devil to compile with nothing but the basic setup
to help determine my problem.  Also, if you would like a copy of any of the
VM's I have created please let me know.  I can 7zip them and host them for
you to download if you'd like to boot them up and see them directly.

Thank you again for your help.
