I am on stage 1 on another machine than the one I am writing this post with. I have the portage program and now am at the step where I run the shell script bootstrap.sh. When I do this, it runs for a minute or so until it starts to run the config script for gettext.

The error I see is:

Quote:
!!! Error: sys-devel/gettest-0.12.1 failed
!!! Function econf, Line 265, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed


And the tail of config.log has:

Quote:
sysconfdir='/etc'
target_alias=''

configure: exit 1


I am not on the machine currently, but I will tell you some more about it. If you need to know more, just tell me what you need to know. Here is /etc/make.conf roughly:

Quote:
CFLAGS="-O2 --march=athlon-xp -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE=" (a bunch of things)"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
GENTOO_MIRRORS=" (a series of mirrors)"


What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for your help. This is my first time using Gentoo, I am normally a Debian user. Oh! The machine is a Athlon XP 2600.

I commented out the CFLAGS section of /etc/make.conf and it works. So I assume I messed up one of the flags. Let me find out which.

I think it is that I did:

--march=*

instead of

-march=*

Notice the extra '-'. It is compiling now, so everything is great.
