[gentoo-user] Running Sybase products on gentoo

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi all,

Anyone here had any luck getting Sybase's products installed and 
running on gentoo AND nicely integrated into everything else?

I need to get at least the free Express edition ASE15 and IQ 
12.6 going with ASE support enabled in php5. The "sybase-ct" 
USE flag in php5 causes the compile to fail with an error about 
sybase-ct.h being missing. Changing the USE flag to "sybase" 
works, but this is non-optimum as it's the older range of 
products.

I'm not looking so much for answers to specific problems, more a 
quick summary of how easy/hard/otherwise the process was for 
anyone who did it already.

[gentoo-user] Using a Stage 4 on similar hardware

[Timothy A. Holmes]

How much hardware leeway is safe to accept when using a source 4 tarball
for an installation?

For example, I have 2 basic models of server one is a gateway pancake
server - p4 3.0 ghz HT, about 512m of memory and 500Gb sata drives

The other is roughly similar but in a standard case the processor and
hdd specs are very close if not identical, but there may be some
differences in the boards as these are not specifically server boards

If the processor is in the same family (i.e. P4) you can get away with
just a few tweaks to your kernel modules (mainly the drivers) and you
should be good to go. The only time I can think that this wouldn't
work is if the processor family is different (ie. P3 -> P4)

Cool -- that makes life very good indeed -- as far as I know the driver
configurations are essentially identical so that out to be easy -- the
processors are identical

I've got two sets of hardware, one has LSI scsi cards and e1000. The 
other has SATA and tg3 network cards. I build a kernel that'll support 
both and use the same disk layout. Having SATA is nice since everything 
is still /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda so I don't have to modify anything.

BTW how are you building your stage4. We have some inhouse scripts to do 
it that work fairly well. Are there Gentoo built stage4 tools anywhere?

I follow the wiki for my stage 4s and they seem to work good

Hi,
Using a script (mkstage4.sh, ver. 3.6) from gentoo-wiki.com IIRC
