mac-on-linux fails to compile

Lukas · Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 7:51 pm Post subject: mac-on-linux fails to compile

Hi there,

Being in the middle of configuring gentoo and getting it all setup to my demands, I ran into this problem:
I'm trying to emerge mol
However it fails compiling with an error in mmu.c, function expand_stack, which is called with 2 arguments, but expects 3. As I'm not an expert on this I don't know what to do now... I do see what's the problem 3 <> 2, but do not know how to solve it.
Can anyone give me a hand with this?

BTW: running 2.4.19-r4, and trying mol 0.9.63

TIA

There seems to be a problem with that release of MoL. File a bug report and see what happens.

Just to keep those interested up-to-date:
I did file a bug report, and Gerk replied; I tried with kernel -r5 instead of -r4, but no succes either.
One strange thingy, after:

uname still reports me as running -r4, instead of -r5. Could this be due to the make oldconfig?

I've got the exact same problem with MOL and with the kernel version number. I didn't do an oldconfig, so I'm sure that the version string in the new kernel sources just wasn't updated somewhere, but I've not gotten around to looking yet.

But, back on topic, is there anyway to tell emerge to rev back to the previous version of MOL so that we can get it installed?

Yeah, just do emerge /usr/portage/category/package/package-version.ebuild.

I've only got just the one ebuild file. Where can I get a previous one? There's only the one at ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/gentooppc/portage/ and the Changelog claims it's the initial version.

I cp-ed the ebuild file and renamed it to an earlier version (0.9.62). Then emerge --fetchonly, it will now ftp the older package. Now do a md5sum on the older package and save the information in a file similar to the other digest file. The number at the end of the line is the size of your .tgz
Now emerge... same error in expand_stack/mm.h, so don't bother reproducing this ;-)

This is not an MOL problem, it is a kernel problem and the bug has been sent to the PPC kernel maintainer.

Thanks Gerk (and the others of course), for the efforts so far... I'm still booting back and forth in the mean time ;-)

I revved back to kernel 2.4.19-r3 (remember to move the /usr/src/linux link) and built MOL just fine. In fact, I'm posting from it right now. If only I could get my console's refresh rate up.... :wink:
