[gentoo-dev] gcc3.1 -- how build stage2-*.tbz2 tarball?

[Casey Cain]

Hey,

I finally bootstrapped gcc3.1 with:
perl-5.6.1-r4 (unmasked)
texinfo (unmasked)
binutils-2.12 
CFLAGS='-march=i686 -O2 -pipe'
kernel 2.4.16 (gentoo kernel from last fall -- not as heavily patched)
in a VMware box
and all went well..thanks Spider for the info!

Can someone tell me the steps to make a proper stage2-xxx.tbz2
tarball? I want to keep it so I don't have to 
rebootstrap when testing stuff.

Oh yea, if anyone wants it just give me an anon ftp to post it. 
(saves a lot of time!)
Thanks,

Casey
PS Currently merging system..hope to have it done later tonight

I don't think there are formal docs to do this, but here's what I did:

Follow /README.maintainers to about line 107, or right before it
says "Now unchroot and tar up your new build image."

At that point, I actually chroot into the build image and run through
the steps to get me to stage 2 or 3 (from the Installation doc), then
unchroot and tar up the image.

Hello,

Were you able to emerge xfree after bootstrapping with gcc3.1 by any
chance?

No. It kept crapping out at the very very end trying to build something
in Mesa..
I tried like 5 times..different things..such as taking the -D_USE-3DNOW,
changing -march=i686 to -march-i386..but it always failed.  I checked
Cooker's Xfree-4.2 SRPMS, AFAIK, Cooker is totally compiled with gcc3.1
but they have about 20+ patches, but nothing that I can find to do with
either gcc3.1, or Mesa. 
I took a screenshot of where it failed..not much help I know..

But...I eventually went into the dir an compiled the file with 
gcc -c gamma_inithw.c -o gamma_inithw.o (which basically makes an empty
object file because it needs the #defines..so it compiled. I then went
back and ran make in the work dir and it built and installed and
everything. THEN I DID SOMETHING DUMB.  I was doing this in Vmware, so I
was keeping various copies of virtual disc. Anyways, before I tried to
use portage to install it, I went and copied the virtual disc to a a
new location, however I screwed up and overwrote this disc with an older
one!!!  Anyways, I have a midterm today so I cannot work on it..I
should be studying now..ha..

I suppose if we can rip Mesa out..it will build..but that's not a
solution, just a quick hack.

bootstrapped with..gcc3.1, perl-5.6.1-r4, binutils-2.12, had to use an
older ncurses but other than that it went pretty smoothly.

Okay... 

XFree86-4.2-r10 (and even -r9) *will* build under gcc3.1 for me but
there appears to be a problem using emerge to do it. Here's what I did:

  ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild unpack
  cd /var/tmp/portage/..../xfree-4.2.0-r10/xc
  make World
  cd nls && make (if you want nls)
  cd /
  ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild install qmerge
 
Success. I don't have 3dfx h/w so ymmv. I haven't looked into mesa. I've
got nvidia h/w so afaik, i don't need it.

I've started a bug on this topic:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979

Feel free to add wiki.

OK. I have a Radeon DDR for real, and in VMWare I don't know but
truthfully it doesn't matter as I don't plan to use any sort of graphics
accel. How did you get X to build?  
I even tried on a crappy celeron 533 w/RageFury and it failed in the 
same place. 
My USE settings are default profiles/default-gcc3.0..nothing of 3dfx
mentioned..am I doing something wrong?

Here is what I did..May 22 rsync:
-bootstrap with gentoo 2.4.16 (pre4?) its from last fall anyways
-unmask gcc3.1 and texinfo
-scripts/bootstrap.sh
..an hour later..
-emerge system
-breaks on ncurses..ebuild/merge old ncurses
-continue emerge system
-emerge xfree
BREAKS every time..and my Athlon this takes approx. 3hrs

Any ideas?
Thanks

Casey

How about my ebuild work-around for xfree?
