Re: Why is it so hard to build?



Hi Willy,
  Basically needs more developer effort to get it working well on hppa.
Unfortunately I've been too busy lately and have dedicated the time I did
have to d-i for ia64.  You need to build on unstable, and I iirc the
QM_MODULES thing was a glibc or kernel headers issue.  I have built it
for hppa in the past, and had some success installing on a B180.  There
was also an issue with mklibs reducing libm to (nearly) nothing, and
that breaking glibc.  Carlos fixed glibc, but I don't know if his fix
is in debian unstable.  I had a hack to mklibs to work round it.

Recently I saw a mail saying anna changes means d-i only works with
di-kernel-image based kernels now, and I don't think hppa is there yet.
