Title: efw - devel platform Post by: mvrk on Friday 27 November 2009, 03:30:16 am Hi, does anyone have a tutorial to build efw RPMS ?
I've installed efw 2.3 RC1, and then tried to substitute some RPMS (libstdc++, rpm, kernel) so i could install rpm-build, rpm-devel, kernel-devel, etc.. Now, when i try to rebuild for example glibc src rpm, or any other src rpm, i get this error: checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34812 (%build) Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: mrkroket on Friday 27 November 2009, 06:12:01 am Do not use 2.3 RC1. Use 2.3 Final, it has been greatly improved.
About devel RPMS, just use the parameter --nodeps on some rpm that refuse to install due to dependency errors, especially gcc and glibc. rpm -Uvh --nodeps <yourrpm.rpm> This way you can install all devel rpms. Kernel devel is a problem yet. The 2.2 devel kernel rpm is similar, but not the same. Some thinks works, other don't. 2.3 SRPMS brings a kernel source, but doesn't install well. Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: mvrk on Friday 27 November 2009, 11:15:30 pm ok, now its working ok, i didn't installed the glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.100.EL.endian1 package, thats why it was failing.
and i moved to 2.3 final like you said. the kernel is the only package i'm not able to rebuild. i guess i can install the kernel from devel channgel (kernel-2.6.22.19-72.endian15) and the respective kernel-devel package? Anyone knows if is there any big difference between the kernel-2.6.22.19-72.e18 and the kernel-2.6.22.19-72.endian15 ?

There is something, obviously. But as they are not changing the version (2.6.22.19-72), it must be very similar. Anyways there aren't many other options. The best thing you can do is try to compile with the endian15 kernel. I managed to compile a NIC driver perfectly, and works fine. Unfortunately I can't get to work vmware-tools for VMWare server 1.08. Compiles, installs modules but vmxnet doesnt work. Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: davvidde on Saturday 02 October 2010, 03:15:20 am I'm trying to install the Guest additions of virtualbox on Endian 2.4. I installed the required rpms to compile
sftp://root@192.168.2.4/root/efw24-rpm/patch-2.5.4-20.endian0.i586.rpm make-3.81-3.endian0.i586.rpm libgomp-4.1.2-14.endian1.i586.rpm kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL.endian22.i386.rpm kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.27.19-72.e25.i686.rpm glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.103.EL.endian1.i586.rpm glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.41.endian8.i386.rpm glibc-extras-2.3.4-2.41.endian8.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.41.endian8.i386.rpm gcc4-4.1.2-14.endian1.i586.rpm cpp-3.4.6-10.endian8.i586.rpm binutils-2.15.92.0.2-25.endian2.i586.rpm export export CC=/usr/bin/gcc4 but `uname -r` doesn't show the PAE extension so when I install the additions something goes wrong. The compile process seem to be good, only the install of the startup script show an unrecognize distribution so the script is placed in /etc/init.d/vboxadd. However the command /etc/init.d/vboxadd start failed with (modprobe vboxguest failed) If is a kernel source related issue, where can I find 2.6.27.19-72.e25 kernel devel? Anyone know a workaround? Thanks to all. Davide. Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: davvidde on Sunday 03 October 2010, 08:14:20 am My apologies,
http://www.efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1988.0 solved my issue. Thanks. Davide Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: aweber on Wednesday 04 January 2012, 10:06:19 am I think someone else asked, but I can't find the thread again...
Can someone tell me where to find the dependencies to the DEVEL_RPMS (like those for gcc the glibc-* ones) ? I'm surprised these are still missing, as 2.4.1 has been out for a long time (and is now actually one version back). Thanks for any pointers. -AJ Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: melcon on Tuesday 20 March 2012, 06:30:57 am Now, there is 2.5.1 out. No news regarding DEVEL RPMS?
Does anyone know how to setup a devel box for 2.5+ ? - MM Title: Re: efw - devel platform Post by: martman22 on Thursday 29 March 2012, 09:47:35 pm I have made some progress using the Centos 4.7 rpms. The glibc-headers and glibc-devel needs to be installed using --nodeps as there are conflicts with the glibc version already installed on 2.5.1 endian. Afterwards gcc and gcc-c++ will install . You do need to install a few other dependent rpms but they install without problems.
