Hi all, as a very first step in direction to a CRUX 2.5 release I've prepared ports that might be possibly used for our tool-chain. For now the ports are available in my personal repo [1], bootstrapped packages can be obtained from [2]. Some notes: * binutils 2.18.50.0.9 Because regular updates from upstream are very occasionally, I thought that using the ones hosted/maintained on kernel.org [3] might be an option for us. The drawback is, that the man-pages are not prebuild, so texinfo is a build requirement. Sure, we can patch binutils and provide a tarball with the man-pages, but I'd prefer to add texinfo to our toolbox because I run into similar problems with other ports as well. * glibc 2.8 with kernel-headers 2.6.26 Tarball created from cvs with -r glibc_2.8-branch which includes one patch after the glibc_2.8 tag [4]. Remember, locales are not generated, see this thread in crux-devel [5]. * gcc 4.3.2 It's the same Tilman has committed to core-x86_64, with some minor adjustments. New dependencies are libgmp and libmpfr, both are available in [1] too. best regards Juergen [1] httpup sync http://jue.li/crux/ports/ jue [2] http://jue.li/crux/tmp [3] http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/ [4] http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-04/msg00050.html [5] http://lists.crux.nu/pipermail/crux-devel/2008-July/003681.html -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
