All, |

I started last FOSDEM to give the bootstrap process some desparately |
| 4 |
needed love again. |

|
| 6 |
Sofar, I've got bootstraps succeed on OpenIndiana x86 and x64. (yay) |
| 7 |
|

Currently, bootstrap is broken on: |
| 9 |
- Darwin: it hangs on bash, which DEMANDS readline, despite disabling |
| 10 |
it, I think the best course of action here is to actually compile |
| 11 |
readline before bash, but I don't recall why we didn't do that |
| 12 |
(probably because it used to break). |
| 13 |
- Solaris 10: the old gcc compiler can't compile |
| 14 |
baselayout-prefix/libeinfo. I'm about to patch that piece of code |
| 15 |
tonight so it will compile. |
| 16 |
- Fedora 17: Python 3 (whatelse) gives problems compiling modules. The |
| 17 |
oddest one _decimal, which breaks on some weird funcs, but maybe those |
| 18 |
are arithmetic ones from the compiler that we may or may not have due |
| 19 |
to the bootstrap setup. Solution might be to block Python 3 during |
| 20 |
bootstrap stages if it demands a newer compiler or something. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I intend on running the bootstraps again on OpenIndiana once I fixed the |
| 23 |
above issues. Any help is welcome of course. Especially now the |
| 24 |
readline case for Darwin just needs people to try and see if that |
| 25 |
results in problems for them. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Over the last few days I've fixed quite some issues caused by implicit |
| 28 |
dependencies. One reason I think Darwin currently breaks is because it |
| 29 |
doesn't come with readline (but libedit) while most other systems /do/ |
| 30 |
have readline installed. Similar reason I had a problem with bison on |
| 31 |
Fedora 17 because its configure demanded perl, and Fedora doesn't |
| 32 |
install that by default, while most other systems have it around... |
