 |
|
i currently would like to run my laptop with the time set to 1999, however emerging things will never work 
are there any ways i can get round these compile errors?
(searching for this is extremely difficult for me, it's such a wide topic  ) |

I don't really feel like testing this out, but here's an idea off the top of my head...
Modify /etc/make.conf to contain the line
| Code: | | alias make="make -i" |
Basically, I think you need make to ignore the fact that all the files have a time stamp that appears to be in the future...
An even worse way would be to suspend the emerge after it unpacks the source, cd into the source directory, then use the find command to touch every file (I think this sets the date backwards in time), then resume the emerge... |

I admit I don't have any real input but curiousity got the better of me - why?

ok, i am waiting until the realtek 8180 drivers for my WiFI card come out, i have been using linuxant to use the XP drivers for it (Realteks Linux Drivers are only for 2.4.21 which is both insecure, and i'm running 2.6, i have tried ndiswrapper and i could not change to Ad-Hoc mode and could not set an essid, therefor i am after something that can prolong the 28 days i have left on linuxant until the drivers are out, setting the clock back should work after examining the program
see why i didn't want to say, |

Here's an idea, how about purchacing a linuxant license. You obviously find value in them and they are only $20. |

Couldn't you just modify the source not to include the timer at all? Or is that defrauding Linuxant? Probably is, I'm an evil man

it's not opensource, it's a closed binary that compiles itself round the proprietary bit for the kernel or something.
anyway if i could buy the licence i might but i would prefer the non-fund companys not to make native drivers option |

Binary packages. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Wasn't there just a story recently on slashdot about WiFi drivers?
I'm guessing it wasn't applicable to your situation? |

I don't think you can trick linuxant just by setting the date back. However, I've found this
in the Linux-Kernel Archive, so you might see 2.6 drivers someday.

shame when i bought the card it said it was an orinoco chipset on the picture (nowhere in the spec) it was the cheapest one and all i could afford, damn realtek (hopefully the support will get as good as 8139too which is most of the Nics in my house. |

it supports 8139too (like any other recent kernel), but you won't find 8180 support.

well thats what i'm after, 8139too is even supported by my toaster  ,
8180 wifi is not
there are working 2.4.21 drivers, sadly i cannot develop in anything usefull (yet) but maybe someone would convert to 2.6, there is a reasonable demand for it :-\ it will need reverse engineering as i assume 8139too did. |
