I shall trust that it is not asked ironically and answer at face value. I want to remove clang from my system and stick with gcc. Set WITHOUT_CLANG=yes in /etc/src.conf and do a normal buildworld cycle plus 'make delete-old' See src.conf(5) for more details. Or just do nothing: gcc is still the default compiler on 9.0, and you need positive action to tweak /etc/make.conf to enable clang. I do not want any code I produce to have a non-GPL license. That's not actually affected by using clang as your compiler. It's BSD licensed, and doesn't have any viral clauses, so your code can be licensed as you see fit. Similarly the runtime bits of the system are BSD licensed and even though they are linked into any executables you produce, you can release the result under whatever terms you see fit other than not claiming authorship / copyright on material you didn't yourself produce. Do I need to regress to 8.3? Or, will that be back-fit with clang also? No. I think you can update to 9.1 without such concerns as well, but 10.x could well be a different matter.

tcgetattr() hangs
Hi,
this maybe wrong list but I gotta start somewhere.
I'm the developer of PureJavaComm (PJC) , a pure Java serial port access
library that runs on Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and soon I hope on
FreeBSD. I'm co-operating with someone to port the library to
FreeBSD but we have run into mysterious problem that has defeated
all our debugging efforts.
PJC can be found at:
https://github.com/nyholku/purejavacomm
Some background. PJC uses JNA which is a library to access C-code
APIs from Java by writing Java classes that JNA automatically
turns in to standard C calls.
The C functions we are using are very simple and few, here is the complete
list to put you into the picture (btw, this is Java):
int errno();
int fcntl(int fd, int cmd, int arg); int cfgetispeed(Termios termios);
int cfgetospeed(Termios termios);
int setspeed(int fd, int speed);
int cfsetispeed(Termios termios, int speed);
int cfsetospeed(Termios termios, int speed)
int tcflush(int fd, int b);
int tcdrain(int fd);
void cfmakeraw(Termios termios);
int tcgetattr(int fd, Termios termios);
int tcsetattr(int fd, int cmd, Termios termios); int tcsendbreak(int fd,
int duration);
int open(String s, int t); int close(int fd);
int write(int fd, byte[] buffer, int len);
int read(int fd, byte[] buffer, int len);
int ioctl(int fd, int cmd, int[] data);
int select(int n, FDSet read, FDSet write, FDSet error, TimeVal timeout);
So far we have been able to run PJC testsuite in FreeBSD 32 bit Intel with
no problems.
Now however, on FreeBSD 64 bit AMD our test set hangs in a call to
tcgetattr()
in the third test case in our test suite.
The first test opens a port and wiggles some control lines, then closes
the port.
The second test sends and receives a some hundreds of messages using a
background
thread and select(). This is the test that is causing problem further down
the line.
After this test the next test (regardless what it is) hangs in a call to
tcgetattr()
after successfully opening the port.
So how can tcgetattr() hang???
I found one reference to a similar problem but no solution:
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-cups-bugs-tcgetattr-causes-lockup-i
n-USB-backend-on-FreeBSD6-STABLE-td3950285.html
Here is a piece of our debug log that shows the calls from Java to the
native
API showing the end of the successful Test2 and the hang at the beginning
of Test3:
log: select(9,[8],[],[],jtermios.TimeVal@6f507fb2)
.. OK average speed log:
select(9,[],[],[],jtermios.TimeVal@6f507fb2) = 0

log: fcntl(8, 4, 2)

How to indicate source directory in other than /usr/src?
How does one indicate a system source directory location when in other than /usr/src? That could be necessary when in another directory, for instance running ndiscvt. Or one could be building FreeBSD for a USB stick and want to do the heavy work on a hard drive; I could also want to build and install ports on the USB stick but do the heavy work on the hard drive. I couldn't find a variable named SRCDIR anywhere in the documentation, in contrast to PORTSDIR, which I did find. I may also want to build 10-CURRENT from 9-STABLE system without giving up the 9-STABLE source tree; I would need both source trees, but then after the first successful build of 10-CURRENT, I could use that to build updated versions.

Re: How to indicate source directory in other than /usr/src?
Thomas Mueller muelle...@insightbb.com writes: How does one indicate a system source directory location when in other than /usr/src? I'm not sure I understand quite what you're asking, but I'll have a try anyway. That could be necessary when in another directory, for instance running ndiscvt. For ports, I would would normally say that you want SRC_BASE. However, that's for building ports, not running them, so I may be missing the point. Or one could be building FreeBSD for a USB stick and want to do the heavy work on a hard drive; I could also want to build and install ports on the USB stick but do the heavy work on the hard drive. This is the normal case; you don't want to do anything special about the location of the build, only for the install. For the base system, you just want MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX (normally /usr/obj) to be on the hard drive. For ports, you want MAKEWRKDIRPREFIX to be on the hard drive if set, and the ports tree to be on the hard drive if not. I couldn't find a variable named SRCDIR anywhere in the documentation, in contrast to PORTSDIR, which I did find. I don't remember there being one, but I also don't see a comparable use for one. I may also want to build 10-CURRENT from 9-STABLE system without giving up the 9-STABLE source tree; I would need both source trees, but then after the first successful build of 10-CURRENT, I could use that to build updated versions. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can do this, but in my case I would move the original /usr/obj tree out of the way to avoid damaging it by mistake.

Swap files and panics
Recently I rearranged partitions on an SSD. The swap partition was eliminated in favor of a swap file on /usr. This works, allows TRIM support on the swap space, and is easier to resize than a partition. However, sometimes the system panics on shutdown. It happens after syncing disks, so the filesystems are fine, but it's disconcerting. I suspect but haven't yet managed to prove that it's only when swap is not empty. A race condition involving when the filesystems are unmounted? Or should there be some code in /etc/rc.d/addswap to run swapoff before shutdown? This is on a very recent 9-STABLE amd64, i5 2500K. rc.conf: swapfile=/usr/swap/swap ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you use su - or su root, the effect should be the same. You can always check the success of your operation with the ls -lo command. Nope. That was the problem. I had logged in on the vty as normal user and done su root. Had to back all the way out and log in on the vty as root to make it work. I'm going to guess that you did 'su root', not 'su - root'. The two commands are *NOT* identical. 'su root' does not run the root 'login' scripts; thus environment variables (including path, user, logname etc.) are *not* set as they are on root login -- this causes some 'am i root' tests to fail. OTOH, 'su - root' should be equivalent to a root login in all respects. Thank you. That explains a number of problems I've been having. doh.

ARM NAS Server for FreeBSD?
Hello, can anyone recommend me a ARM9/11 based platform that has support for freebsd to implement a nas server and router? Also other platforms could be interesting if they have a low power consumption. However - the performance should be somewhat better than the performance of the first atom cpus. I would like to add at least two sata drives and gbit ethernet. (And a DSL modem - preferable already on board) Best regards, Martin L. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

kde4 on 8.3 and laptop
I had kde3 running just fine on 8.2 on my laptop. I have now installed 8.3 -and- kde4 on my laptop, and the kde system will not work as expected. when I type kdm (which is at /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm) I get the expected login screen (however the mouse dies), and after I login, all I get is a small cli window in the top left corner. The mouse has gone dead, and the keyboard doesn't respond, altho there is a prompt in the cli window. All I can do at this point is hold the power button in to reboot. If I do not try running kdm, the normal cli works 100%, the ethernet works, and the mouse always seems alive (altho in the cli the mouse is of no value). Suggestions would be very appreciated. -- Jim Pazarena fqu...@paz.bz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't know about the mouse dieing. I'm running 9.0 and I've seen that once or twice when first setting up X. You don't need to reboot. Do altFn to switch to a different vty. Log in on that vty, do a ps to find the process you used to start kdm, (ps -ax | grep kdm) and kill -TERM that process. That should get you back to a regular prompt on the original vty. Do altF1 to go back to that screen.
