Re: [Clc-crux64] New x86_64 iso available!

Great!
it took some work because the cd i burned was defect (as usual), and, because the handbook.txt file on the cd was just an empty file. maybe something to fix for -rc2 ?
On the system where I created the iso, there was no libxslt or docbook stuff installed, so I didn't make the handbook -- sorry 'bout that!
on another note, the bin86 and emacs ports in your repo are older than the ones that comes with the iso...
Actually, the bin86 is 0.16.17 on mine, and 0.16.0 on vanilla crux -- 0.16.0 wouldn't build properly. Same with emacs -- I had to use 22.0.something, as opposed to 21.something.something...
besides that... great work!
Thanks! Glad to hear it's good for someone other than me. A couple points: The known bugs from 2.1rc1 vanilla crux are also problems for this version.

hi i have played around a bit and started to install some ports from clc to make it useable. i just thought i'd share my findings so far: * imlib2 and eterm needs --disable-mmx added to their ./configure parameters * xaw3d has a harmless lib vs lib64 footprint mismatch * libsdl needs a tiny patch that i put up here: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/sdl-1.2.8.patch * cdparanoia also needs an almost as tiny patch: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.patch i think this is a general gcc issue and not amd64 specific * mplayer needs --disable-win32 added to the ./configure parameters * t1lib needs a patch: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/t1lib-1.3.patch i didn't write this myself at all so i don't know if the footprint mismatch (usr/share/t1lib/t1lib.config missing) is because of the patch moreover, i will probably try a bit harder with the mplayerplug-in when i'm less tired... cheers, lars On Sun, April 10, 2005 12:53 am, Jeremy Jones said:

Hi,
* imlib2 and eterm needs --disable-mmx added to their ./configure parameters
Lots of stuff'll need this, I'm afraid. As for patches, find a close gentoo ebuild repository. Gentoo has great support for x86_64, and just about any patch for x86_64 you need will be in there. jeremy
ok. i made a repo with my fixes. get the httpup-file here: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/crux64-fixes.httpup the latest addition is mplayerplug-in, and there is most likely more coming as i install more. cheers, lars On Sun, April 10, 2005 2:27 am, Lars Helmer said:

i just thought i'd share my findings so far:

* xaw3d has a harmless lib vs lib64 footprint mismatch
* libsdl needs a tiny patch that i put up here: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/sdl-1.2.8.patch
* cdparanoia also needs an almost as tiny patch: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.patch i think this is a general gcc issue and not amd64 specific
* mplayer needs --disable-win32 added to the ./configure parameters
* t1lib needs a patch: http://lasso.spacecentre.se/crux64/t1lib-1.3.patch i didn't write this myself at all so i don't know if the footprint mismatch (usr/share/t1lib/t1lib.config missing) is because of the patch
moreover, i will probably try a bit harder with the mplayerplug-in when i'm less tired...
cheers,
lars
