Re: Hamm bug: syslog() does not work together with libstdc++

I doubt. It *does* work, I've cut and paste this code from the source of the 'logger' program, right form the Debian sources :) Of course it does not work when it's linked with libstdc++, which is the issue... Furthermore I've checked the glibc source hunting for the bug (unsuccessfully) and the syntax '(priority | facility)' is legal :) -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau Publicis Technology -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

Hamm bug: syslog() does not work together with libstdc++
I'm writing a C++ program that has to use the syslog facility. The
development environment is Debian hamm with libc6 version 2.0.7pre1-2 and
libg++272 version 2.7.2.8-0.1.
If I link my C++ program without any g++ libraries syslog works.
If I link my C++ program with '-lstdc++' syslog does not work at all...
Here is a sample program I wrote to demonstrate the bug :
test-syslog.cc:
#include syslog.h
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc == 1)
return 0;
openlog(argv[0], LOG_PID, 0);
for (++argv ; *argv ; ++argv)
syslog(LOG_LOCAL0 | LOG_NOTICE, *argv);
return 0;
}
If it is compiled with 'gcc -o test-syslog test-syslog.cc' the program
will correctly write its parameters to the syslog files.
If I use the command 'gcc -o test-syslog test-syslog.cc -lstdc++' it
won't...
Can anyone tell me where the problem is and how I can solve it? Is this a
libc6 or libg++ bug?
Thanks.

Re: slackware,redhat-debian

The problem is that they're too far away and I can't get in front of them in person, so wiping the box and installing from scratch really isn't an option. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can put on dpkg and slowly install debian packages until I borg borg borg the machines? I assume dpkg is available in something like a .tar.gz that I can compile and put on the boxes, and from there I can just start installing package after package. I've done this on 3 Slackware machines as a temporary solution before I reinstall them totally with a debian distribution. It's not too hard to do but you have to bear in mind that it is not a real debian: the passwd and group files do not match at all, the init scripts won't work, etc. But it works perfectly for the simplest packages (ldso, libc, gdbm, db, dump, flex, perl, etc. And even fvwm95 with a bit of config hacking). I'll post here a summary of the instructions to do this later this week. -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau SGIP - Publicis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: cdrom problem during installation

I had the same problem at home with my ATAPI CDROM (Sony CDU77E), the installation program would eventually go on after a long time, but as this program probes the disks often it was quite unsusable. Putting a CD in the drive does solve the problem. My computer at work has got a Toshiba ATAPI CDROM player and does not show this problem. It think the installation instructions should talk about this problem and give the fix. It's better than releasing yet another boot disk with no CDROM support at all, uh? :) -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau SGIP - Publicis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This problem occurs with the boot disks and the the system I built. The boot disk will comeup on another system but not this one.

Bruce what is more important? To provide support for people who will install debian 1.2 with a cm206 cdrom player or to provide a boot floppy that will have less chances of crashing? Is the base of installed cm206 important enough to justify that others (like me) can't install Debian 1.2 at all? :) Maybe the default base IO probing of the cm206 (#define CM206_BASE 0x340) is too agressive? Could it be changed in the built kernel? Will alternate 1.2 boot floppies be provided?

dpkg keeps using the 'msdos-i386' directory...
Today I tried running dpkg (version 1.4.0.3) on a local debian mirror. The mirror is up to date. I get this error message: 22:52 [root:p3] sgip038:~# dselect Running dpkg -iGROEB /debian/unstable find: /debian/unstable/msdos-i386/games/fortune.deb: No such file or directory dpkg: subprocess find returned error exit status 1 installation script returned error exit status 1. Press RETURN to continue. It's not the first time it happens to me, it happens ever since I reinstalled my system with the 1996-11-28 1.2 disk set. Why does dselect keep trying to install packages from msdos-i386? And why is this link missing anyway? Does it have something to do with the fact that last friday my dselect kept looping endlessly? -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau SGIP - Publicis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

No new package in the 'unstable' dir since May 18th..
I know the updated packages are all uploaded in the incoming directory of master.debian.org but since that date they never show up in the 'unstable' directory. Why? I use a local mirror with NFS to do my testings. Not having an up-to-date hierarchy and Packages file makes things a bit harder. -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau SGIP - Publicis
