RE: Forcing static-linking on a port?
From: Dan Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] In the last episode (May 23), Darren Pilgrim said: I need to make use of a port during start up, but it has library dependencies that aren't available, before the complete library path is established. I've tried the following: NO_SHARED=true (added to /etc/make.conf) make -DNO_SHARED make LDFLAGS+=-static Every time, running file on the compiled program tells me that the binary is dynamically-linked. I couldn't find anything else in any man pages, Mk files, mailing lists, Google, etc. Sorry for the semi-inappropriate list choice, but this one would get swallowed up on -questions. NO_SHARED only works on programs that use the bsd.prog.mk makefile template; I'd guess under a dozen ports do this. Some pieces of software have dynamic-link options hardcoded in their Makefiles, probably as a workaround for bugs in other OSes. Those options override -static. I can't think of a valid reason for them to be used in FreeBSD. Search for (and remove) any occurances of -Wl,-Bdynamic and -Wl,-Bstatic , and you should be set. No luck on either string. I ended up getting what I wanted by going through the source Makefile and adding -static to the appropriate line in the target for the program I needed static-linked. Now devd can bring up my wireless NIC at boot. Works great! ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: watching a file for ownership change
If you're hacking the kernel, you could embed the pid in the VNODE filter data value, or perhaps copy it to the user udata (breaking semantics). vijay -Original Message- From: Marco Molteni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 1:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: watching a file for ownership change On Sun, 22 May 2005 04:05:50 +0100 Bruce M Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, May 21, 2005 at 10:38:30PM -0400, Charles Sprickman wrote: I'd like to find a way to watch one of the user's maildirsize files that seems to flip ownerships at least once a day and try to determine what process is changing the ownership. How can I do that without dropping a bunch of daemons on a production machine into heavy-debug mode? OS is 4.8 with all current patches. You could try watching kevent() on the file for EVFILT_VNODE with NOTE_ATTRIB. You'd need to write a small C program to do this. Whilst this won't tell you who did what, it could give you sufficiently good timestamps from it happening to begin tracking the culprit down further, perhaps using lsof. When I saw the first post I actually wrote the kevent program you are sugesting as an exercise, then I realized that I couldn't obtain the PID of the process that modified the file. Would it be feasible/reasonable to add this feature to kqueue ? marco ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, I think it's a question for the highpoint support. It's their product and their driver. Here are some instant hints: - read the PDF carefully and follow the instructions strictly - use the BIOS in the tarball; nothing else!!

Screen Resolution
Just one simple question on the screen resolution on FreeBSD 5.3 I change the xinitrc to launch gnome-wm and gnome-panel but I can't change the resolution in the Desktop Preferences / Screen Resolution tool only 640*480 is listed which is very small I can't change to 800*600 ? any idea ? hervé ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Screen Resolution
thanks for the doc It seems that in FreeBSD 5.3, Xorg is installed as default but there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 I deinstall and reinstall Xorg manually but there is no more xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 so I can't modify the screen resolution else when I run xorg -configure, I've a black screen who to check the Xorg config ? it's better to use XFree ? hervé Aniruddha Bohra a écrit : Hello, I install FreeBSD 5.3 with the standard option, the X process in /usr/X11R6/bin/X is running So, it should be X.Org.
