Slackware from Scratch and X11

nobodino · 05-24-2016, 03:00 PM

the build3_s.list and build3_d.list are not the latest working ones (several errors)
Replace with the enclosed ones.

Nobodino,

You might want to check the last entry to the attached diff file.
I haven't actually tested it yet. Haven't had enough time. Will get
to it in a day or three.

Also attached is the latest version of the LFS ch5 build for Slackware.
Eliminated the programs "dejagnu" and "check". It seems to work here.

Nobodino,

Question: Are the pre_elflibs and post_elflib routines in sfsbuild1.sh necessary
for building on x86_64? I can't seem to find any reference to them in the source
files, but admit I may have missed something.

If they are needed, then the packages in /home need to be different:
installpkg cxxlibs-6.0.18-x86_64-1.txz vs installpkg cxxlibs-6.0.18-i486-1.txz, etc.

Keep up the good work,

Worsel

you're right, I forgot to manage the case of x86_64 for pre_elf and post_elf.
For the time being, I'm trying to solve the new dep. for ghostscript which are not stabilized.

nobodino · 05-30-2016, 01:15 PM

A new update:
- pre_elflibs and post_elflibs are ok for x86_64 now
- gcc can now be built completely
- builds without any hiccup.

Nobodino,

In sfsbuild1.sh, under "# BUILD package treatment", shouldn't the xfce entry be
"cd /slacksrc/$SRCDIR/$PACKNAME && chmod +x xfce-build-all.sh && ./xfce-build-all.sh" instead of
"cd /slacksrc/$SRCDIR/$DIRNAME && chmod +x xfce-build-all.sh && ./xfce-build-all.sh"?

Haven't run it that far yet. It builds build1_s.list stuff just fine, except I still have the
problem of "/tools/bin/{perl,sh,bash}" being hard coded into some of the programs, forcing me to
recompile them after deleting the tools directory. Well, I'll find the answer eventually.

nobodino · 05-31-2016, 02:04 PM

for xfce: $PACKNAME=$DIRNAME

for the rest? No answer for now:
- could you describe what's wrong exactly?
- which programs are involved?

worsel · 06-01-2016, 08:06 PM

Ran the latest sfsinit.sh and sfsbuild1.sh.

Added a new gcc.SlackBuild. A patch to create it is attached. It differs from the old
SlackBuild in that it is complete in itself. Give it an argument and it only compiles
c, c++, and fortran. Run without an argument and it tries to compile everything.

Aside from my usual problems (see next reply), the following things went wrong:

1) The llvm patch seems wrong. It leaves us compiling llvm with gcc twice, instead of
compiling with clang the second time. Attached is a copy of the original patch.

2) Xfce looks for the build script in xfce/xfce. Removed the extra xfce.

A patch for these is attached.

worsel · 06-01-2016, 08:17 PM

The problems I've been having are mostly related to references to /tools/bin are
hardcoded into the files after build1_s.list is run.

In addition, on the last build, find would not work. No matter what I looked for
it returned "File not found." When I recompiled it I also had to recompile bash,
can't remember why. Memo to self: Keep better notes.

After the compile, if I go to /usr/bin and 'grep "tools/bin", this is what I get:

Quote:

Since you don't seem to be having this problem, I assume it is coming from
the ch5 build, but I can't seem to find anything wrong there.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

nobodino · 06-02-2016, 01:18 AM

The messages with grep "tools/bin *" are the same here. I'll look into it.
Don't bother with chapter 5.

1/ llvm builds fine , on the second pass, it's "build1" which is used (so llvm.SlackBuild.old)

nobodino · 06-03-2016, 11:14 AM

Here is something solving your problems with (grep 'tools/bin' *) not empty.
Not the smartest manner, but it works.
The remaining message should go with the gcc-all build.

I'll keep looking for a more elegant solution.
However, it is possible there is none.

Just finished running sfsbuild1_s.list. Everything
looks good right now.

Thanks.

nobodino · 06-05-2016, 04:08 AM

gcc_build and gcc_build64 have to be modified due to your new gccSB.patch.
See the enclosed file.

worsel · 06-09-2016, 12:31 AM

Okay, just finished building xfce using the latest sfsbuild1.sh & sfsinit.sh

Had to rebuild findutils and bash again. Findutils to continue after build1_s.list,
because it gave error messages instead of finding files. Bash worked all the way
until building gcc-all, then the program couldn't find gnat.

Must apologize again. The last gcc.SlackBuild patch I sent was the wrong one. The correct one
is attached, along with diff files for sfsbuild1 & sfsinit. As usual, ignore pathnames.

hendrickxm · 06-09-2016, 01:41 AM

I am following this thread with a lot of interest.
I read through most scripts and I wonder why some packages are installed/build. It seems to me a few are not needed.
Some examples: rpm and rp2tgz might be usefull but I don't think these are needed to build other packages.
bin (probably needed)
help2man (probably for docs/man)
slacktrack (needed for linuxdoc-tools which is needed for docs)
tetex and tetex-doc and ed (probably to build some docs)
mc and thus slang/slang1 (I do not need mc)
some internationalization and libs like dmapi, libidn
mm
svgalib
lvm2 for a desktop install?
ncftp and lftp
dhcp and dhcpcd

Probably a few more and they could probably be removed if you do not install all docs and thus edit a lot of slackbuilds.
libpthread-stubs can be removed if you add a sed

Code:

sed -i "s/pthread-stubs//" configure &&

to some configure files.
