I do not have a working version of the Hurd :( It hangs in the Hurd code itself during boot. I wanted the compiler so that I could build the Hurd with diagnostic printf's. That way I can figure out what is going wrong.
B.T.W.: I recently saw instructions that said the Hurd needed file systems with "sparse inodes" (to the best of my recollection). The instructions I used to create the file systems for the Hurd didn't include this flag. Could that cause the Hurd boot to fail? The last few lines of the boot process are: 2 multiboot modules task loaded: (hd1,1)/hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=(hd1,0/gnumach.gz -s root=device:hd1s1 --host-priv-port=2 --device-master-port=3 --exec-server-ta sk=4 -T typed device:hd1s1<EOL> task loaded: (hd1,1)/lib/ld.so.1 (hd1,1)/hurd/exec start (hd1,1)/hurd/ext2fs.static: Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs.static[device:hd1s1] exec<cursor is here with system hung - need red button reset or power cycle to restart> Thanks again, Donz ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Morrison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Donald Ziesig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 9:52 AM Subject: Re: Appropriate compiler for hurd? > > --- Donald Ziesig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have gcc 3.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (etc.) which was built native for debian > > gnu/linux. > > > > Can I use that to compile the hurd?
