Hello, the first release candidate of CRUX 2.1.1-64bit is ready and available for download. http://crux.danm.de/files/iso/2.1.1-64bit/ Most significant changes are: - glibc 2.3.6 with AMD64 patches and linuxthreads + native posix threads. NPTL libraries are placed in /lib64/tls and /usr/lib64/tls. - gcc 4.0.2 - x11 6.9.0 - pkgutils with 64bit enhancements - No conflicting compat32/core/opt ports anymore. If you want the 32bit version of firefox you have to install both, core/firefox and compat32/firefox32. Both ports share arch-independent files (/usr/share, /usr/include, ..). 32bit applications usually have '32' as suffix (firefox32,mplayer32,..) An upgrade from CRUX-2.1-gcc4-head to CRUX 2.1.1 seems to be flawlessly feasible - at least it worked well for me :-). Don't forget to deinstall nvidia before - and - replace your old /etc/pkgmk.conf with the newer one found in /var/lib/pkg/rejected/etc/ after the update. No application recompilations were needed because the *-HEAD ISO was delivered with gcc4. If you create your own 32bit ports have a look at /etc/pkgmk.conf. You can specify a 32bit architecture with 'arch=xxx'. An example: [..] name=flex32 version=2.5.31 release=2 arch=i686 [..] If you have any questions please use this (public) mailinglist. Have a nice evening, danm -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A
