I've taken to using the "Red Hat 5.x Compatible" libraries and compilation. Usually, it works, but it is definitely not as easy as using Red Hat 5 (or Debian Slink) out of the box. In particular, things have problems when "interacting" with /usr/include. All of the glibc includes are in /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include; however, things such as libuuid (used by GNU parted) are in /usr/include. I never could get GNU parted to compile. Another one was zebra; as I remember it compiled on a Debian Slink system just fine; under the glibc20-compat libraries, it mixes up /usr/include/ and /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include no matter what I tell it. Can someone offer some help? I'm guessing that these problems are just the cost of trying to compile something for a library not on the system; but if someone does this every day it'd be nice to know how. It is, indeed, rather interesting - lots of people just assume you're using cc or gcc when you're really using i386-glibc20-gcc .... and using C++ is even MORE interesting.... I must say there were things DID compile without problem - like scdp (command-line CD player); util-linux; hwclock; and cryptcat (netcat with crypto!). But it does seem like problems and errors are the norm, not the exception.... -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Linux, Unixware [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
