Just took a look at gentoo, and the only thing they do specific to amd64 is --with-mutex=x86/gcc-assembly I don't have time to try though

[Clc-crux64] Getting started.
by Martin Rehr 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hi. I have a bit of trouble getting started with crux64. I downloaded the source code which you provided me with Pedja, thx a lot. I took a look into the make file and as far as i can see the only thing which is told to be x86_64 is the kernel. I have tried gentoo amd64, but I booted on a livecd with 64 bit kernel installed and the gcc compiler with 64 bits support. In my crux 2.0 the compiler does'nt support 64 bit ( -m64 flag ) If someone could provide me with the few basics steps to get goinging i would be thankfull. Shall I start with a make bootstrap? How and when shall i tell the compiler to shift to 64 bit ? Thanx in advance. Regards. Martin

>Jochem: gcc built "out-of-the-box" with Per's make file. It probably >used some 32-bit-ish options. Could you send me your patch anyways (I >wasn't registered to the list yet when you sent it). Hey. You said you used Jochem's bin86 patch already, and he's only sent 2 patches, so the one I've attached must be the one you want.. I hope. About building Crux.. I had a quick look at Per's Makefile and saw words like bootstrap and stageX that reminded me of building Gentoo. I'm not a Makefile expert, but the file is easy to read and decipher. Would I be right in saying that building Crux basically entails "make bootstrap" and then trying to fix up the compile errors associated with x86_64? I'd like to give this a go after the exam period when I'm hibernating. One more thing.. Jochem's Crux tarball doesn't contain the contrib collection - according to the Makefile, bootstrap will try to do "all collections", so wouldn't it complain about the missing contrib? God speed fellas :) _________________________________________________________________ FOXTEL Digital - Your ticket to cinema at home: http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/clk;7718915;9123289;x?http://www.foxtel.com.au…

Hello fellow crux freaks :) I finally got my amd64 notebook and want to give a amd64 build of crux a try. I have read all the prevoius mails regarding this subject, but im afraid I need a little help to get going. Where do i get the source code for CRUX 2.0 and what is the basic procedures for building your own dist? Regards. Martin Rehr

[Clc-crux64] Debian announces pure 64 bit port
by Johannes Winkelmann 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

Hi, There's an interesting discussion on http://lwn.net/Articles/89290/ regarding pure64 and biarch setups. I for one am not that conviced anymore that biarch is better; the chroot 32-bit installation seems a good idea as well. Regards, Johannes P.S. Sorry, I still didn't join the club of 64 bit CPU owners ;-) -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

Otherwise you'd have >everything compiled against libraries from the host distribution... Yeah, I tried to 'make bootstrap' and it didn't work. For a 'make all' to work, you need pkgutils (and possibly other stuff), which means I'll have to learn how write ebuilds, and these things really suck. Makes me appreciate the beauty of Crux ports :) >Yep, forgot about them :( Hehe.. silly me I just realised that no one would've noticed because no one's progressed beyond base packages. >Here's the list of ports from base which don't compile with me: > db > lilo > sysklogd > tcsh > traceroute > >I don't have time to look at them this weekend un fortunately. For lilo, >Marcus sent in a mail containing a patch, but it's a big patch, >untested, and looks dirty IMHO, although i'm not that experienced in C. AFAIK, lilo and grub can't compile under 64-bit. From some Gentoo guru: "lilo will NOT work, only if you also have a 32bit installation to install it from. as lilo is 32bit assembly, it will NOT run on a 64bit OS, the same with grub, its 32bit assembly, therefore they have a grub-static package, which is a binary package of grub (and built on a p4 system)" I suppose that's why the patch is "big, untested, and dirty"? >lsantil says db compiles without the C++ API, but i don't think that's >acceptable unfortunately...

Everyone please subscribe to clc-crux64(a)lists.berlios.de at https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/clc-crux64 as it seems that we haven't been added automatically. Someone might want to announce the new list in one of CRUX' mailing lists. I've run Per's Makefile for CRUX on SuSE 9.1 but it didn't compile all packages... missing from base are bin86 binutils db gcc glibc lilo net-tools perl slocate sysklogd tcsh traceroute util-linux If someone has time to find out what's wrong with them on AMD64 please fix it and let us know (with a modified Pkgfile, patch, whatever...).

[Clc-crux64] glibc 3.3.3-1 patch
by Jochem Kossen 05 Jun '04

05 Jun '04

Attached is a patch to build glibc on amd64. As Markus, i work from SuSE 9.1. Notice the new /usr/lib64 dir which replaces a lot from /usr/lib. I wonder if this is ever going to work ;)
