Hi list,

I'm trying to install dev-util/quilt-0.42 on my slug but get this error:

gcc -march=armv5te -Os -Wall    lib/backup-files.c   -o lib/backup-files
README.in -> README
mkdir -p $(dirname bin/guards.1)
pod2man bin/guards > bin/guards.1
quilt.1.in -> quilt.1
make -C po all BUILD_ROOT= \

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/quilt-0.42/work/quilt-0.42/po'
make: *** [all] Error 2

!!! ERROR: dev-util/quilt-0.42 failed.

I actually don't know what to do now. Not the slightest idea what the
reason or solution would be.

What do you need to tell me what's going wrong?

Thanks in Advance
Jan

Bugs are normally handled via https://bugs.gentoo.org
You should assign it to arm@ 

Our embedded@ team does not support native compiles of glibc, 
toolchain@ does however as native compiles of glibc is normal 
gentoo linux for all intensive purposes.

Good luck.

not that it really matters, ive never tested softfloat/glibc so at the moment, 
you're really on your own

I guess so ;)

my workaround is to use a cross-compilie-env on my x86-desktop. Seems to
work so far. At least I (the Makefile) used quilt to compile my kernel
which doesn't want to boot properly. No (serial-)console or similar, so
I just can guess what's wrong... :(

sure, that's how i did a bunch of ports:
armeb/uclibc
armeb/uclibc/softfloat
ppc/uclibc/softfloat
sh4/uclibc
sh4/glibc

try doing:
svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel
then run `make` in the trunk to build up a kernel

a lot saner on your nerves if you boot up one of the stock firmwares first, 
develop Gentoo in a chroot, and then move your system over to that once you 
know it's working

i have no problems merging stuff back ... it isnt that i dont want to see an 
armeb/glibc port, it's just a very very low priority in the pool of ports

This is exactly what I did. But this Makefile needs quilt. After
emerging quilt on my desktop this is fine.

The next problem was -mabi=apcs-gnu which is used but not supported by
gcc-3.4.6. Unfortunately I couldn't find out much about what this flag
does and means and so on, so I just commented it out and compiled the
kernel with `make CFLAGS_ETC=`
This works so far. But at the end there are a lot of warnings about
ixp400_eth.ko like these:
WARNING: "ixEthAccPortRxFreeReplenish"
[/root/kernel/trunk/ixp400_eth/ixp400_eth.ko] undefined!

I try doing it this way. My system is developed in a chroot. But you got
me to the idea to boot e.g. a stock debian kernel which will then boot
my gentoo just to be sure that my gentoo init is sane. Then I will just
change the kernel to the one I want.

I already started to describe what I did on gentoo-wiki.com. Just
started, so I'd be embarrassed to tell the link :)

do you have the intel CSR crap installed? you need those to properly 
build the ethernet module, you'll still get these warning as those 
symbols are defined in the ixp400.ko that is built from intels CSR's.

is there not a place to add a serial port on the NSLU2?  i believe there 
is, check the nslu2 website.

I'm not sure. The make script does a lot of things all for itself. At
least those files are needed:
BSD_ixp400AccessLibrary-2_1_1.zip
IPL_ixp400AccessLibrary-2_1.zip
BSD_ixp400AccessLibrary-2_1.zip
IPL_ixp400NpeLibrary-2_1.zip
GPL_ixp400LinuxEthernetDriverPatch-1_5_1.zip
GPL_ixp400LinuxEthernetDriverPatch-1_5.zip
linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2

Doesn't look like "CSR". Actually I even don't know what "CSR" is. :)
But the module ixp400.ko gets build, so I assume everything is fine.

Yes, there is. But you have to do some things to add a serial console.
And you'll need a soldering iron. Maybe later this year I will invest
some time in this matter. For now I am happy with some people who
sporadically will test my kernels on their slug. :)

Bye
