Compiling glibc-2.5

["k. bottle" <kbottle@gmail.com>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to compiling glibc-2.5 on Hurd but have not succeeded until now.

I list my steps below and expect your help.

 

(1) Install Hurd using Debian-k14-Hurd cd1.

 

(2) apt-get libc0.3-dev and mig.

and so update glibc to version 2.5 and gcc to 4.1.3.

 

(3) Download lastest glibc-2.5 tarball (do I need to apply any patches?)

 

(4) configure --without-cvs --disable-profile --prefix= ;

     make

 

I met some warnings and mainly two errors during the compiling course.

 

The first error occurs in stdlib/fmtmsg.c and it says: uint32_t is not defined;

another is in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c and it says: structure stat64 has no member st_mtim.

 

I directly modified the two source files to let the compiling continue, however it finally broke down again when linking ld.so and says: no rule to make ld.map, needed by elf/ld.so.

 

Anyone can help?

 

Thanks!
