RE: [gentoo-user] Re: lots of broken/missing dependencies when starting w/ stage1
If the tests are failing, then perhaps they are needed even more. Also, if you are building from a stage1, you are not dealing with non-dev builds at all. ^^;; -Original Message- From: Enrico Weigelt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 9:27 PM To: gentoo-user Subject: [gentoo-user] Re: lots of broken/missing dependencies when starting w/ stage1 * Enrico Weigelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yet another error: > > While building coreutils, it fails when making tests/sort: > > Can't locate auto/POSIX/assert.al > > There's no assert.al nor an assert.pl file on my disk. > Obviously the tests fail.

I have not seen a --no-test flag in emerge, but don't know if there is an undocumented option for this, or if it can be set as an ENV variable. There should be no harm in trying, but first someone more knowledgeable in the workings of gentoo better advise. -- Regards, Mick pgp4fIHNYgSRZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ah, I though is was enough, not adding "test" to FEATURES.

If you have an active internet environment, use the knopix disk to download an iso for one of the live CD's, such as the actual liveCD or the minimal CD, and then burn to disk, and get the stage3 tarball. Or, if you are on a different machine now, use the machine you are on now to get the ISO if you are able. If you have enough of an internet connection to use emerge, then odds are you can download files. -Original Message- From: Neil Bothwick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 10:45 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: lots of broken/missing dependencies when starting w/ stage1 On Mon, 14 May 2007 15:14:40 +0200, Enrico Weigelt wrote: > > If the test is optional then FEATURES="-test" should skip it. > > Ah, I though is was enough, not adding "test" to FEATURES.

I would have done so, if I had an burner aailavailable right now ... If I knew that bootstrapping had become so unstable and complicated, I did an complete backup instead of just the configs ;-O Last time I did an fresh install (w/ 2006.1 stage1 image) it ran through w/o major problems. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
