Looking for help debugging gnucash build problem on sparc

2003-05-24 Thread James A. Treacy
I am the maintainer of gnucash and sparc is one of the architectures that it will not compile correctly on (it compiles but fails on make check). It is possible that the problem is actually with one of its dependencies: guile-1.6. I am looking for someone who would be willing to try to fix the gnu

If you are compiling a kernel for UltraSPARC you will need to be sure you have installed the egcs64 package. This is the preferred compiler for 64bit SPARC kernels. The default gcc will also compile 64bit kernels, but is not as stable. Plus, if you do not use egcs64 and you encounter kernel problem

Hello, I'm having a hard time compiling a kernel (tried 2.4.19 & 2.4.20) with built-in raid support. with modification of some files i can get it compiled correctly (the "debian" way). But after modifying silo.conf and trying to boot the kernel i get Data Access Exception at the boot prompt

gcc-3.2.3 for sparc64 kernels

2003-05-24 Thread Ben Collins
In case anyone else is doing builds of 2.5.69 or newer on sparc64, here's an interim build of 3.2.3 that is able to compile newer kernels. It creates /usr/local/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc and /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-linux/3.2.3/* You may need to remove egcs64 to get the kernel build to see the binary

Hello, I am looking if someone has already compiled firebird/phoenix for sparc32 (sun4m). I doubt my sparcstation5 would get me there in reasonable time. Robert Ribnitz
