What settings do I need in the /ect/make.conf
What else do I have to mind.
Thanx |

should be a 586, maybe you should try without special optimizations.
got a cyrix pr233 mmx, but didnt manage to install gentoo on it, dont know why... |

dont know exactly, for now I realised that my hdd is too small in this machine, but this wasnt the problem.
when I have more time, ill try it again, but for this cpu Ill need a lot of time, I think  |

well ... mutton is lame :)
so he brought on wednesday his machine over to my place and after about 10 minutes of messing around with his fsck'ed installation i decided to reinstall from scratch ... as he had the optimizations in /etc/make.conf at -O3 i lowered them to -O2. so the three lines in that file look as follows:
| Code: | CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=i586 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i586 -O2 -pipe"
|
that did the trick ...
| Code: | bullenbodo root # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : CyrixInstead
cpu family : 5
model : 2
model name : 6x86 2x Core/Bus Clock
stepping : 7
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : yes
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu cyrix_arr
bogomips : 132.09
|
the beast is running since wednesday, busy compiling stuff like samba, mysql, xfree etc ... no problems so far ... and no, the name bullenbodo wasn't my idea :)
addendum: if you have trouble with bzip2 during the installation (bootstrapping or emerge system), do "emerge sys-apps/bzip2" before as it will be used then instead of the precompiled version included in the stage1 tarball ... but don't forget to fix up the make.conf before
regards

What does the switch -O# do? Why use -O2 over -O3, and in what other situations might it be appropriate do so?

RTFM. man gcc. search for '-O'

Okay, it changes the optimization options. When is one set of optimizations appropriate over another? What hardware can handle a given set of optimizations? If I'm using a machine with less physical memory, should I be turning off particular optimizations? Older processor?
If general guidelines don't exist and it's just a matter of experimentation, that would be good to know, too.
Thanks.
