Im trying to build an 'updated' cobalt install with al the stuff from
cobalt working.
I have so far updated to binutils 2.10 for compiling a newer gcc (2.4.x
kernels)
It seems that the latest 20000814 egcs snapshot appears to work.
It is still compiling (my cobalt Qube 2 has just 32MB although I upgraded
the drive to a 13GB :-)
I've checked out the current CVS snapshot, but I can't get it
to compile. I've got a chroot debian system set up on my cobalt,
but I'm missing a 'good' gcc or egcs. Where can I find this stuff?
I will let you know if this snapshot works.
The latest gcc release (2.95) won't work. (can't make executables).
Also... Is there a debian porting FAQ somewhere that tells everyone
what order to tackle the compiles in?
binutils
gcc
glibc
This is from searching the different README's in the tarballs.
btw I am not building for a debian box. But that shouldn't matter in this case.
I am trying to go from a 2.0.x kernel to a recent 2.4 (it has xfs support -
journaling).
And add more fail-over support (eg customer abuse/when I'm sleepy ;-).
A friend of my mine sells these boxes to customers and he donated a Qube2
to me.
I'm trying to help him out making it work better and learn allot in the
process.
Bye
