Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just wanted to share my installation experience of Gentoo Prefix on |
| 4 |
Mac OS X 10.5.2 (with iPod SDK installed - not sure if that makes a |
| 5 |
difference). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I followed this instructions |
| 8 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I had no issue with the step './bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp |
| 11 |
findutils' but later on the linking failed at the 'emerge --oneshot |
| 12 |
findutils' step. |
| 13 |
The linker bailed out a signal 10 (bus error) and complained about |
| 14 |
missing symbol '_strrchr'. |
| 15 |
I looked around and it turned out that all current versions in the |
| 16 |
portage tree from 4.2.32 to 4.3.13 had the same issue. Further digging |
| 17 |
showed that the problem was actually the gnulib contained in the |
| 18 |
findutils. Particularly fts.c and progname.c are the only files which |
| 19 |
contain a call to strrchr(). |
| 20 |
It turned out that I only could successfully bootstrap the findutils in |
| 21 |
the first step, because that step fetches findutils 4.2.31. And this old |
| 22 |
version of the findutils contains an old version of the gnulib which |
| 23 |
does not contain fts.c or progname.c. |
| 24 |
Thus I created an ebuild for findutils-4.2.31 by hand and emerge that |
| 25 |
with 'emerge --oneshot =findutils-4.2.31'. After that I was able to |
| 26 |
finish the Gentoo Prefix bootstrap. And after the 'emerge --sync' the |
| 27 |
upgrade to findutils-4.4.0 went smooth. |
