So, i think i'm pretty close to a sucessful compile of dpkg on mips. BTW, as much as i've heard of the evils of dpkg compiling, all i needed to get this far was adding a line to archtable...
BUT, one problem... When compiling, i get this: make[3]: Entering directory `/root/deb/dpkg-1.4.1/debian/build/dselect' c++ -I../../../include -I../../.. -I../../../dselect -I.. -I../include -I. -I../../../intl -I../intl -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wimplicit -Wnested-externs -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -g -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -c ../../../dselect/pkginfo.cc ../../../dselect/pkginfo.cc:74: argument of type `int (packagelist::)()' does not match `int (packagelist::*)()' ../../../dselect/pkginfo.cc:74: argument of type `void (packagelist::)()' does not match `void (packagelist::*)()' ../../../dselect/pkginfo.cc:74: confused by earlier errors, bailing out make[3]: *** [pkginfo.o] Error 1 What's confusing is that there's nothing like that at all on line 74 of pkginfo.cc. and i don't see anything quite like that either. Just for help, i'm including the output of running it through the preprocessor. Oh, and another thing that crops up... c++ -I../../../include -I../../.. -I../../../dselect -I.. -I../include -I. -I../ ../../intl -I../intl -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wall - Wno-implicit -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wimplicit -Wnested-externs -Wmissi ng-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -g -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -c ../.. /../dselect/pkgkeys.cc ../../../dselect/pkgkeys.cc:76: assuming & on `baselist::kd_up()' *snip* ../../../dselect/pkgkeys.cc:76: assuming & on `packagelist::kd_revertdirect()' make[3]: [pkgkeys.o] Error 1 (ignored) c++ -I../../../include -I../../.. -I../../../dselect -I.. -I../include -I. -I../ ../../intl -I../intl -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wall - Wno-implicit -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wimplicit -Wnested-externs -Wmissi ng-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -g -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -c ../.. /../dselect/methkeys.cc ../../../dselect/methkeys.cc:60: assuming & on `baselist::kd_up()' *snip* egh, not a big deal. i don't need dselect yet, and maybe by the time the mips port gets useful deity^H^H^H^H^Hapt will be ready. =) job ps: 8-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] main]# ./dpkg --print-architecture mips [EMAIL PROTECTED] main]#
