I had indeed some clock problems, but I thought I solved them before |
| 2 |
emerging ghostscript. I discovered the clock problem while compiling a |
| 3 |
kernel. (make complained about things compiled in the future) |
| 4 |
I did find a solution to the ghostscript problem. I had to patch the |
| 5 |
genarch.c file: there is a bit of code used to determine the cache size |
| 6 |
inside that file. I commented out a single line of that code, (the |
| 7 |
second while loop from the top) and ghostscript compiled perfectly. |
| 8 |
People that were able to emerge ghostscript without patching the code, |
| 9 |
would probably have had another cache architecture than I do on my |
| 10 |
G4/550 powerbook, but I can't tell for sure. I wouldn't recommend my |
| 11 |
patch to anyone, because I'm not sure what consequences it has (we'll |
| 12 |
see later) |

Have not experienced problems since, running KDE3, gnome2 on ppc very |
| 15 |
smoothly now :-) I'm experimenting with gcc3 now (needed for openoffice) |
