Actually, it's an Atari Falcon (m68k) running FreeMiNT. > Do I understand correctly if I say that you set UNIXMODE in your > environment, call portage and that you find that the > compilation/installation doesn't seem to have UNIXMODE set? Yes. I've fixed this currently with adding export UNIXMODE=.... at the top of ebuild.sh > Wild idea, have you tried setting UNIXMODE in etc/make.conf? That's one of the first things I tried, no luck. I've got through all of the bootstrap process, and now starting emerging the basics, but I've bumped into some more bash crashes, as I'm getting these errors.... >>> Compiling source in /root/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sed-4.1.5/work/sed-4.1.5 ... * The ebuild phase 'compile' has exited unexpectedly. This type of * behavior is known to be triggered by things such as failed variable * assignments (bug #190128) or bad substitution errors (bug #200313). * Messages for package sys-apps/sed-4.1.5: * The ebuild phase 'compile' has exited unexpectedly. This type of * behavior is known to be triggered by things such as failed variable * assignments (bug #190128) or bad substitution errors (bug #200313). which seems to be crashing when setting host_cpu. I'll try and figure that out. How do I go about sending patches in to get into the tree so I don't lose the current patches when I do an emerge --sync ?? Alan. -- [email protected] mailing list
