I was doing a native compile using the latest dpkg (downloaded like 3
days ago), but I've got that going: it's a bug/feature of the HURD
dpkg: ever tried dpkg --print-architecture?
On my machine it warns me that 'i386 is not in the remapping table'
(for whatever that means) and then says i386.
I fixed that by passing DEB_HOST_ARCH (or something like that) as
environment/make variable.
As a result I have (unsigned :-/) packages of the latest binutils
around, which installed without a complaint and looked fine in my
later compilation attempt of gcc. (What a beast! Next time I try a
full compile I will have to 'time'.)
On the gcc compile (also attemting to build the package), it choked in
libobjc, missing gc.h and the like. I think I figured out that one
needs libgc, which seems not to be ported. I will try disabling ObjC
GC on the next HURD reboot.
As usual, some questions:
I noticed the HURD beeing much slower on the builds. I have a machine
with > 160MB RAM and a K6-3 400MHz (if that's of any concern). And
have added >= 200MB swapspace. Can I do something about it?
Are there any tools like top, ps, and stuff for the HURD?
Thanks, Andy
