Re: Ethernet cards, Gfx programming

1998-07-30 Thread Markus Lechner
Thank you all.

You gave me a complete overview to this materia :)
I will follow all this links (i'm quite in the process off). With the
Spark
i'm on the way. Will take a few more days, but everything's fine :)

BTW, there are the first Fire-Wire PCI cards out now. It was stated that
by
now 200Mbps cards are sold, 400Mbps come very soon and they're working
on
800Mbps. The price is about $100(!). So if there are some Fire-Wire
cards
for SBus out somewhere or in development...? I'll look for this, too.

regards,

Mac

help - Starting to port packages

1998-07-30 Thread sjc

[sorry this is a bit long...but I am anxious to get started]

Okj I got my IPC up and running pretty much. I did fall victum to the
messed up filesystem on ftp.debian.org (fristrating brining a CD image
of binary-sparc and finding its hardly a full system cuz of missing packages
...and no sym links to binary-all) 

anyway...I uploaded an i386 package a bit ago (new one...my first new 
package). It generates dtmf tones through the sound card. I decided
to test the compiler and system by trying to compile it...

I thought it might not work (since it used sound and all)...but it compiled
with almost NO MODIFICATIONS. Unfortunaly my IPC seems to have no sound
capabilities...I get /dev/dsp: Operation not supported by device
would anyone like to test it for me? I will be putting it up
on a public server ok it is uploaded to:
http://www.gis.net/~sjc/dtmfdial_0.2-1_sparc.deb
If it works I will upload it

This brings my next problem...xfstt (my other package). I would like
to compile the newest version for sparc, but it wont compile
I get tehse errors:
c++  -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -DMAGNIFY=0 -DNDEBUG -c xfstt.cpp 
-I/usr/X11R6/include/X11/fonts
In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:37,
 from xfstt.cpp:36:
/usr/include/bits/sockunion.h:25: netatalk/at.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/netrose/rose.h:23,
 from /usr/include/bits/sockunion.h:29,
 from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:37,
 from xfstt.cpp:36:
/usr/include/linux/rose.h:10: warning: `PF_ROSE' redefined
/usr/include/bits/socket.h:72: warning: this is the location of the previous 
definition
make: *** [xfstt.o] Error 1

now.. /usr/include/linux is a sym link into the 2.0.35 kernel source...
I did this because the kernel-headers-2.0.33 package which is on my 
sparc CD doesn't have rose.h 

so...where are all the lib*-dev packages? I don't see libc6-dev 
anywhere (not even in binary-all)...but I seem to have
allot of .h files...also I thought that libc6-dev
was suposed to contain the kernel headers? (is this just
an older version? how hard woul dit be for me to build the
latest version and upload it?)

sorry for putting in allot of questions at once but... my IPC is
finnaly up and I am anxious to get started

Hmm.  I know it appears on intel...

I saw a report of dpkg failing with gzip: stdin: not in gzip format here
a few weeks ago.

Re: 2.0.35 turbosparc kernel

1998-07-30 Thread Kris Boulez
Quoting Derrick J Brashear ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Well, I'd like to think I solved at least one problem in the last week.
 For those of you with SS5/170 (Turbosparc) machines, there's a kernel at
 ftp://ftp.dementia.org/pub/linux/2.0.35-turbosparc, along with modules for
 it. The patches have been checked into the CVS tree and will be in the
 next snapshot (which hopefully will be when there's a handle on the
 egcs/sun4c/esp problems)
 
 Try it outwith your favorite Turbosparc.
 
How does one go about installing this kernel on a virgin disk (no linux yet). 
With other words: does someone has a bootable image that I can use to install a 
complete distribution from ? (I just got a second HD for my SS5/170 and would 
like to install Linux on it).


Kris,
