I've now also confirmed it successful on x64-macos (Leopard) and |
| 9 |
ppc-macos (Leopard). I've fixed yesterday sparc-solaris (10), and I'm |
| 10 |
still waiting for a fix to be proven correct for sparc64-solaris (10). |

The Solaris bits were perl not finding libdirs. I'm confident we can |
| 12 |
crack it. I hope today I will solve it, so I can bump the snapshot |
| 13 |
tomorrow. |

Any suggestions for the installer are welcome. At the moment: |
| 19 |
- instructions for resuming (you can rerun the installer with the same |
| 20 |
input when a failure occurred in stage1, stage2 or stage3, emerge -e |
| 21 |
system stage you need emerge --resume, and manually create the |
| 22 |
startscript) |
| 23 |
- sort-of auto-resuming, more likely "perform" mode, where the inputs |
| 24 |
required by the installer are given, e.g. ./bootstrap-prefix.sh |
| 25 |
perform CHOST=... EPREFIX=... MAKEOPTS=... PATH=... |
| 26 |
- also specify -l next to -j in MAKEOPTS, because it seems the |
| 27 |
unbeatable formula sometimes appears to be too aggressive |
