Slackware from Scratch and X11

nobodino · 12-30-2022, 02:45 PM

Regression test up to "Sun Dec 25 23:21:25 UTC 2022" (x86_64 version).

Nothing special, except the qt5-webkit package (problem solved in another thread) and always the same pangomm.

@nobodino

When do you recompile the entire stack ?
Do you plan it, or after every updates ?

nobodino · 01-05-2023, 12:19 PM

For now, Slackware has become very solid according to the possibility to be rebuilt from scratch, it doesn't need to be recompiled with every bit of software changed.

I only do it on the week-end and if I have enough time to do it.

Now I recompile it every time:
- one of the glibc / binutils or gcc change: a special attention to glibc with deprecated features (twice a year for glibc and binutils)
- one of the automake / autoconf / make /texinfo change: those gnu packages are not always safe as upgrade.
- rust change because of its impact on firefox / thunderbird and seamonkey.
- python3 change, if python3-3.10.x comes back or python3-3.11.x
- if while building the "tools" something odd occures, I'm sure I've to recompile the all set.

Otherwise, if I waited a too long time, around a month, I give it a try.

Regression test up to "Sun Jan 15 01:02:36 UTC 2023" (x86_64 version) with binutils-2.40.

Except:
- qt5-webkit package (problem solved in another thread)
- always the same pangomm
- gdb (problem solved in another thread)

Nothing else.

Regression test up to "Fri Feb 3 20:04:33 UTC 2023" (x86_64 version).

Except:
- qt5-webkit (same problem)
- pangomm (same problem)

With .so version bump for the latest libvpx upgrade (1.12: libvpx.so.7 => 1.13: libvpx.so.8), some packages should be rebuilt:
- ffmpeg
- gst-plugins-good
- qt5
- xine-lib

Thanks!

Sorry... I didn't refresh the changelog :-S

If vulkan-sdk is compiled after qt5 (as needed if you want to have qt5-based tools), compiling VulkanTools will fail if gcc>=12 due to uninitialized variables.

Simple "patch" to solve the problem:

From sqlite 3.41, double-quotes are not more accepted by default as string literal.

Package ibus-libpinyin uses double-quotes for string literal, so if compile after sqlite3 (as in Slackware from Scratch) it will fail to build english.db.

Already fixed in github repository: https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-li...88942af438ea98

cups-filters does not compile against newer qpdf that uses std::string_view (available only from c++17).

There are 2 possible solutions:
1) Replace in the build script:

Code:

CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS -std=c++11 -fpermissive"

with

Code:

CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS -std=c++17 -fpermissive"

2) Remove "-std=c++11" from build script and patch Makefile.am:

Regression test up to "Fri Mar 17 20:12:03 UTC 2023" (x86_64 version), which is on "Happy Saint Paddy's Day!"

Very few regression, and one is already closed:
- the green one
- the blue one has 2 solutions, one from me, another from marav.

Regression building mesa after upgrading rust-bindgen to 0.65.

Solution in thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175724025/

nobodino · 05-01-2023, 02:57 AM

Regression test up to "Fri Apr 28 18:25:13 UTC 2023" (x86_64 version) with gcc-13.1.

Not so bad but, here are some non building packgages:
- nodejs: problem solved by marav
- ncftp: problem solved by marav
- mariadb: problem solved by marav
- vulkan-sdk: no complete solution
- qt5webkit: problem solved
- qt-5.19.6: problem solved by marav
- mozilla-thunderbird: problem solved by marav
- python2-module-scollection: need to upgrade M2crypto package to 0.38.0

Specific to SFS:
- llvm: doesn't build on SFS with gcc-13.1 for the 1st pass
