Hi all, >Exactly! I do something similar, I just use vmware. > I did a CVS checkout on Jul-14, and the build failed when building bash and then at bin-utils. Since these are the first two packages that are compiled to build the reference system, I suspect something wrong with my build machine, which is a Mandrake 9.1; I plan to update my working copies and retry on a vmwared SuSE 8.2. Which prompts me to question: Which is the "ideal distro" for the initial build system? If the answer is out there, my apologies for missing that part... Greetings from Cordoba, Argentina! ///Pablo |

glibc did, of course, fail to compile with the includes fom the newest linux kernel. What to do then? Well, I think it's important we stick with a linux-2.6 goal so I have a workaround going: Install linux-2.4.21 headers in /usr/include compile glibc and therefore everything of that. But, use the 2.6 kernel and modules. So, we have a bit of a hybrid system right now. Will it work? I don't know! :-) but we are gonna find out! hopefully the next version of glibc will allow us to go completely linux-2.6 Chad ------------------------------------ The new linux-2.6.0-test1 is out! I'm gonna give it a shot. If glibc will compile with it then we are a "go" for using linux-2.6! I'll let you all know how it goes later on today. Chad |

Now the tree can be built without being root, this keeps it from accidentally destroying your OS setup. The catch is that it uses sudo, so that has to be configured. I use the newest RedHat on vmware-4 for my build and it works fine. Wether it will work on other distros is something i can't answer right now. I guess the biggest factor is what version of gcc and binutils the distro has. > > I plan to update my working copies and retry on a vmwared SuSE 8.2. > Which prompts me to question: Which is the "ideal distro" for the > initial build system?

Thanks for the hard work Chad. :-) > I guess the biggest factor is what version of gcc and binutils the > distro has. What are the versions you use? On SUSE 8.2 we have: - gcc version 3.3-23 - binutils version 2.13.90.0.18-21 >> I plan to update my working copies and retry on a vmwared SuSE 8.2. I've been using SuSE 8.1, Pablo, (I think, or was it 8.0?) but I accidentally zapped the installed OS and it wouldn't boot, hence my ooOOOohh above. I haven't had the time to try again since then, sorry Chad. I've now got a stack of nine new machines delivered to the Co. office, so until they're commissioned, I can have another go. Reports forthcoming... I've had issues with SuSE 8.2 for other reasons, but it was due to compiling code with strstream legacy stuff. gcc 3.3 no longer has library support for some old C++ code. Although I doubt this will affect Chad's cutting edge work. Pete. |

When you checkout with cvs, make sure you checkout the Prometheus2 module, not the Prometheus module. > > I've had issues with SuSE 8.2 for other reasons, but it was due to > compiling code with strstream legacy stuff. gcc 3.3 no longer has > library support for some old C++ code.

Hello, >> I've done some big changes to the source tree in the past couple >> days. Now the tree can be built without being root, this keeps it >> from accidentally destroying your OS setup. The catch is that it >> uses sudo, so that has to be configured. > Great, it sounds good. > ooOOOohh I like the sound of that! Thanks for the hard work Chad. :-) I second Peter's comment, Chad. Good job! >> I guess the biggest factor is what version of gcc and binutils the >> distro has. > > What are the versions you use? On SUSE 8.2 we have: > - gcc version 3.3-23 > - binutils version 2.13.90.0.18-21 Right. What I see is that some packages compiled under WorkingTree/Source/StaticLib are incorrectly installed on the host system. I will report in a separate message next. > I've been using SuSE 8.1, Pablo, (I think, or was it 8.0?) but I > accidentally zapped the installed OS and it wouldn't boot, hence my > ooOOOohh above.

Reports > forthcoming... Great! It will be nice to have someone else also trying on SuSE. So far, I'm still into the Static building. Regards, ///Pablo |

I just want to float the Idea of having a script to install this on a harddisk, not on the cd, but maybe for the source tree. I would find this usefull in setting up a system with remote access. my idea: only has to copy the files over, I can partition the disk beforehand and install from the cd or such. but I want to use it for remote logins, so that if anyone wants to help develop and test a program, they can run it on a native SGStep box. I have the hardware for it too, speaking of which - does anyone know if there are going to be any events on the east coast of the US that we could promote this at? maybe MacWorld? I know that Macworld will be in Boston, and I'm going(since i'm almost nextdoor to the place anyways), so maybe Demo Disks, or, hopefully, install disks? I know that there has been some press coverage in the Mac news outlets about us, maybe find some way to show up at MacWorld? I doubt a booth would work, way too much money and such, though I know that I will want to show off and give away(if not sell) Prometheus Install Disks at the Harvard/MIT Radio Group Swapmeets. that I can get a booth for, and even do demos!
