[gentoo-user] PORTDIR_OVERLAY ignored
Hello all,
I have an odd problem. This morning I thought I would try out an
evolution 1.4 rc1 ebuild. I extracted a bunch of files to my
/usr/local/portage and tried 'emerge -s evolution', only the
old one was found.
None of the ebuild I have under /usr/local/portage are
recognised. If I try to emerge one by specifying the ebuild
file it won't be able to emerge any of its dependancies. It's
like I have not set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY in my make.conf, but
I did. I have portage 2.0.48.
Here are my changes to make.conf:
USE=apache2 -apache dga dvd gd -gpm -gtk -alsa -xmms gtk2 gphoto2 ldap imap

Re: [gentoo-user] Java error
Bryce,
This error occurs, when the classpath is not set properly.
You have to set the classpath before running/compiling your java
files.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:current-dir
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers

I'd like to get 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592 from hello. I could mock something up, but it's besides the point actually. Any good programmer chooses the toolset that best suits the task ahead. I've been programming in a multitude of languages over the years, and the one thing I've learned is that there simply isn't any best language Currently I use C++ as a general purpose language, I use borland's delphi or kylix if i want a quick GUI, i use java if i want to build something that need to run as is on a few platforms. At the company where I work (ref. sig), I'm responsible for the networking core code, and as such use C++ for most my work due to strong ties to OS specifics. The people that work with the high-level logic parts use java, avoiding a memory management hell in an extremely complex design. The windows launcher for our product's currently a Delphi thing, because it took 30 mins to get a decent GUI for it. The core number crunching and graphics engine is C++, to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible. My point is, you can't simply claim that a language is bad. It might be bad for your purpose, but that doesn't mean it's a generally bad language. Sure, there might be failed languages that doesn't suit any particular task well, but most of the languages that're being used today are better than others for certain tasks. Now, back to MD5. If i needed MD5 functionality, I'd use OpenSSL's implementation. It's premade, it works. I could ofcourse write a MD5 implementation using shellscript and e.g. awk, but that would definitely be a bad choice of tools. I could write it in java if the main purpose of the project at hand was better suited to java. Or, I could write it in C or C++ if MD5 functionality was the core of the project, and I didn't want to depend on external libraries. But, let's not make this a flame war.

A quick search on google found http://gatos.sourceforge.net/livid-ati/2001-October/msg00027.html which seems to indicate that you mak be locked to AGP 1X due to lockups experienced with your chipset. You might look to see if there is a line there that seems to limitAGP. Comment it out and restart X. Do: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status again and see if that helps. Then run glxgears for 5 minutes or so to see if you lock up. If it locks, 1X is going to be your limit, I'm afraid. Or do what I did and replace my nVidia AGP card with a PCI one.

Could you please refrain from replying to other people's messages, to
start a new thread. It screws up the threading in most people's
mailers, (see attached image).
It happens because most decent mailers display threads by using the
'In-Reply-To' header, which in your case refers to Patrick's mail on
Nvidia fast writing, because you clicked reply while viewing that mail,
then proceeded to write a completely new mail.
Hope this doesn't come accross as a whinge, but it's simply bad
etiquette and makes following threads harder.

I've also modified my cflags to be much more aggressive. When i rebuild world, this will most likely break things; do you comply/agree? Even though i'm now using -Os instead of -O3, i've also included some other -fFLAGS. I'm sure some are redundant (as implied by -march=pentium4). Basically: CFLAGS=-s -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -fthread-jumps -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 Not quite sure what is going to happen, but i'm building gcc 3.2.3 with these flags right now, and all seems well ;-). Please feel free to comment/flame/threaten-with-death/etc. Thanks! I would personally suggest that you go with traditional cflags such as below or at least cflags that were milder for rebuilding of world to rule out any adverse effect on base system. CFLAGS=-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer Have a look at this quote in the mozilla ebuild. # Recently there has been a lot of stability problem in Gentoo-land. # Many # things can be the cause to this, but I believe that it is due to gcc3 # still having issues with optimizations, or with it not filtering bad # combinations (protecting the user maybe from himeself) yet. # # This can clearly be seen in large builds like glibc, where too aggressive # CFLAGS cause the tests to fail miserbly. # # Quote from Nick Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED], who in my opinion # knows what he is talking about: # # People really shouldn't force code-specific options on... It's a # bad idea. The -march options aren't just to look pretty. They enable # options that are sensible (and include sse,mmx,3dnow when apropriate). # # The next command strips CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS from nearly all flags. If # you do not like it, comment it, but do not bugreport if you run into # problems. Safe cflags will not only rule out the possibility of compilation failure and instability due to agressive cflags but will also allow you to bug report. Also, with new versions of gcc optimisation options might change and I'm going to wait until 3.3 is rolled out before I look at the optimisation manual again. By the way, I forgot to mention this but I rebuilt base system (emerge -e system) and upgraded gcc to 3.2.3 with pentium3 flags so there was no possibility of incorrect code being generated.
