Re: [gentoo-dev] default-1.0-gcc3 success

[Webmaster Refstart.NL]

Hi Lars and others,

Thanks a lot for your help, the glibc problem is solved now! :) The problem was that I had emerged GCC 3.1 before I started bootstrapping the system, that's why glibc won't compile. Now I've removed the whole Gentoo partition and started over installing. I've linked /etc/make.profile to /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0-gcc3 and edited the packages file so that binutils 2.12 is choosen instead of 2.11. The bootstrap process is now ready and I have edited the compile flags in /etc/make.conf to match my CPU. I'll try to emerge the system now :)

Thanks again for your help,

Niek.
