Re: [PATCH 3/3] Explicitly link against all utilized libraries

2013-05-01 Thread Roland McGrath
The Hurd API is that these things are available when you just use -lc. So if need be, we should make the installed libc.so linker script do AS_NEEDED ( libmachuser.so.1 libhurduser.so.1 ) or something like that. I'm somewhat confused about what you're doing so that you had an issue, however. How

Also, we should probably prepare some news text, telling that yes, at last, one of the most famous vaporware-looking project has released something, explaining in a few words why it took so long (low taskforce), and what's in there: working Xorg, gtk, firefox, etc. but also nice translators to be t

[PATCH 3/3] Explicitly link against all utilized libraries

2013-05-01 Thread David Michael
Since libc is linked against libmachuser and libhurduser, they are implicitly linked against everything else on certain systems. On systems where implicit linking is disabled, a binary must explicitly link against each library from which it references symbols. * auth/Makefile (OTHERLIBS): Explici

[PATCH 2/3] utils/vmstat: Use gnumach.defs from gnumach

2013-05-01 Thread David Michael
The gnumach installation provides the include file mach/gnumach.defs instead of mach/gnumach.h. This runs the defs file through MIG and builds the result for vmstat. * utils/vmstat.c: Replace with "gnumach_U.h". * utils/Makefile (vmstat): Add rule to depend on gnumach_U.o. * Makeconf (mach_defs_

[PATCH 1/3] libdiskfs: Allow SYMLOOP_MAX to be undefined

2013-05-01 Thread David Michael
POSIX systems are allowed to leave SYMLOOP_MAX undefined, and in such cases applications are supposed to use sysconf. * libdiskfs/boot-start.c (diskfs_start_bootstrap): Replace macro with sysconf. --- According to the standard[1], an undefined SYMLOOP_MAX has a defined interpretation. The glibc

Hi, These patches are some fixes for my build system that should qualify as trivial. I'm new to this build process, so it's entirely possible that I am at fault for any breakage. Please tell me if something is clearly wrong on my side. For the record, this build was done with a cross-compiler/s

Imminent Debian GNU/Hurd release

2013-05-01 Thread Samuel Thibault
Hello, So, as you may have read, Debian 7.0 is to be released this week-end. The plan was to make our own Debian-unofficial, but GNU/Hurd-official release. We can't really call it "wheezy", as it contains a couple packages from debian-ports, and some packages from unstable which are not in wheezy.

Hello, The latest commit in gnumach should be fixing the disasters that some people have been seeing in their hurd system. This was due to an improper handling of non-block-aligned reads in the gnumach linux block glue, which happens only if partitions are not block-aligned, leading to putting dis
