>AWAKE LIST, AWAKE! I once naively thought that having a Crux64 would be as easy as "borrowing" patches from other distros and changing CFLAGS... it's a lot more intricate that unfortunately, and I suppose no has time to really work on this, which is understandable. Good luck with awakening the project :) Doan -- "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need." -- every Marketer's best friend, Tyler Durden :) _________________________________________________________________ Find love today with ninemsn personals.

From: lsantil(a)dslextreme.com To: clc-crux64(a)lists.berlios.de While I at conference a couple weeks ago I was able to compile lilo 64-bit. The solution however, was a bit unique (may not work for a final crux64 build; may be FC2 AMD64 specific) and not at all clean (a few things need to be cleaned up). So the last thing required to make a bootable crux64 CD (at least for me) is to get syslog compiling. I admit I have been slacking and have been caught up with other things in my life (like conference, catching up at work, buying a Honda Sportrax 250EX ATV and a trailer). Hopefully soon, I be able to do some more work on crux64. I'll place a tarball of what I have up on my web site a bit later today.

[Clc-crux64] curx64: AWAKE!
by Thomas Mausbach 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Hey, I think there is more activity needed on this ML. I'm interested in getting some CRUX 64bit only system, but I realized its a hard way. So I want to do some first step and be able to run some closed-source AMD64 optimized software with CRUX at 32Bit. Is it correct if I say I just need to get a x86_64 kernel with 32Bit support? I did the following: - got the 2.6.7 kernel sources - applied the x86-64.org 2.6.7-2 patch - searched google how to (host is 32bit): didn't find much, just the following link http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/1314/21/debian-amd64-howto.html - did 'make HOSTCC="gcc -m32" ARCH="x86_64" menuconfig' - configured kernel - did 'make HOSTCC="gcc -m32" ARCH="x86_64"' - got following error: >>> SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*HOSTCC scripts/conmakehash HOSTCC scripts/kallsyms CC scripts/empty.o cc1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode make[1]: *** [scripts/empty.o] Error 1 make: *** [scripts] Error 2 <<< If it works I will go more in depth and try to get a 64/32bit system and at the end I hope a 64bit only one :D AWAKE LIST, AWAKE! PS.: If you want crux64 (as me), talk to me on IRC (nick: hulahub), peraps we can solve some problems this way... --- Thomas Mausbach

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

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

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
