I've compiled LFS from fairly recent SVNs with -O3 -march=i686 (and -march=pentium-m) and have to say I'm hard pressed to notice any difference from not changing any default optimizations. This is using GCC-4 on a pentium-m 1.6 machine (A Dell Inspiron 9300). I read that GCC4 has completely re-wr

Hi I recall that previous versions of BLFS or LFS (or maybe both) recommended installing gcc-2.3.5 in addition to gcc3. I think there were a few packages that didn't compile with gcc3, but did with gcc-2.3.5 (and I think that was the recommended gcc for Linux 2.4). Now that gcc4 is out (and will b

Hey Randy, Control-center --enable-aboutme bombed looking for libebook/e-book.h. I think this is in evolution, which I didn't install. Here's the error: gnome-about-me.c:32:29: libebook/e-book.h: No such file or directory Seems configure didn't really figure out whether I had evolution or no
