The biggest problem is the non-integrations of the kernel patches into the mips cvs. From looking at the sourcetree it will be a horribly hard work to get the patches into a shape where they can actually be accepted. > PS: I would like to start porting some of the unported Debian packages > to this platform, eg. VNC. Most of the packages should compile out of the box and should be taken by the autobuilders sooner or later - VNC does seem to get errrors You'll find the latest autobuilder output here: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=vnc If you have sucessfully built those packages please submit your patches through the debian Bug Tracking system. gcc -O -ansi -pedantic -I../../include -I../../exports/include/X11 -I../.. -I../../exports/include -Dlinux LinuxMachineDefines -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DCPP_PROGRAM="\"/lib/cpp\"" -c -o imake.o imake.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make[3]: *** [imake.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/vnc-3.3.3r2/Xvnc/config/imake' make[2]: *** [imake.bootstrap] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/vnc-3.3.3r2/Xvnc' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/vnc-3.3.3r2/Xvnc' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 I stumbled over this before - IIRC its some autoconf weirdness. > PPS: If you would like access to my Masquerade PRO for some reasonable > reason :) (like porting packages), - please drop me a mail.
