Indeed very few instructions need to change to apply for gcc4. > > I haven't test much multimedia stuff yet ... > Most of the multimedia stuff (that are include in the book and some that are not) compiled without any additional patches,with the exceptions of Mplayer (as i noted in my previous mail in this thread,there is a already a patch) and ffmpeg. With regards to ffmpeg,the problem is that formal releases are rare and the author himeself cleary states to go with cvs.And indeed if you go with cvs,the programm will complete the compilation with gcc4.0.1. Mplayer site http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ used to host some archieves from ffmpeg cvs snapshots,but unfortunatelly they (Mplayer) had a server failure,and now the link to ffmpeg archieves is broken,and i dont'n know if and when they will fix it. What we can do is to pack a working recent cvs snapshot,and to upload in our site (at least is all i can think right now). As for the rest BLFS stuff,i finished building of almost 120 packages. Packages that needed patching so far was and i didnt' see any reports in the blfs list (like thunderbird) are. #-------------------------------# xpdf-3.00 abiword-2.2.8 cdrdao-1.2.0 #-------------------------------# With regards to abiword,it gives me segmentation fault after compilation. WvStreams cowardly failed to compile. Same with aspell,but i am not sure if it's a gcc4 related. All the Kde 3.4.2 packages compiled without problem (Hey i dont't need that kde stuff... actually is for another computer). I am with the *fvwm* ,something need to be done to include it in the book. :-) > > Instead of a branch, I propose that we update the BLFS main website > with note about building using GCC-4 and provide a link to a page I > will create that has information about packages that need patching. > This is all that is really necessary.

Log of the already installed packages attached,most of them confirmed to work with an exeption of abiword, Aslo uncountable perl modules with no failure. Right now we are leaving (boys-woman-dogs) for 4 days for a mountain trip,enough with the compilers stuff. Have a good day.
