problem with building memtest86

Abaddon · 2005-02-15 17:36:20

I wrote pkgbuild:

# Maintainer: Abaddon <kukububu@go2.pl>

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
make || return 1
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

It won't compile.

Could anyone help me?

Abaddon · 2005-02-16 11:14:09

Maybe someone can try this pkgbuild? I want to know if it's only mine problem.

Thx in advance.

JimboP · 2005-02-16 16:01:38

Just tried and get the same error - no idea how to fix unfortunately!

Snowman · 2005-02-16 17:39:40

The reloc.c file is probably compiled with the default Arch Linux CFLAGS (-march=i686) While the rest of the source is compiled with -march=i486. In the Makefile, change -march=i486 by -march=i686. (You can use sed in your PKGBUILD)

It might be the problem since the error happens when the objects files are linked.

Abaddon · 2005-02-16 18:10:24

I used:

sed -i 's/i486/i686/g' Makefile

but, it doesn't help:

Adding -march=i686 to compilong reloc.c also doesn't help.

I dunno what to do...

phrakture · 2005-02-16 20:39:42

maybe compile the whole thing as i486?

lanrat · 2005-02-16 22:19:31

Looks like this can be patched (sorry I have no time to do it now myself):
This is the spec file from PLD:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb … c?rev=1.29
It includes 2 patches. One of them is "-i686-ld.patch" which I think is what you are looking for.
I think you should be able to download thes patches here:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/SOURCES/
Maybe also gentoo ebuild will be helpful too:
http://gentoo-portage.com/ebuild?e=sys- … 3.2.ebuild
I hope this will help (I want this tool too :-)) so good luck.

EDIT: It's always a good idea to check what other distros do about this kind of problems. I usually use PLD, Gentoo or Sourcemage "pkgbuilds" when I'm lookin for a help.

Abaddon · 2005-02-17 08:09:52

I've tried using patches form gentoo, but they don't solve problem. I'm gonna check patches from pld when I'll come back home form school.

make || return 1
mkdir /boot/memtest86/
cp memtest.bin /boot/memtest86/memtest.bin
}

It builds memtest.bin and copys it into /boot/memtest86/. What I have to do to inject memtest.bin into package? (From this build, makepkg makes empty package...). memtest.bin should be installed into /boot/memtest86/memtest.bin

Thx in advance.

Snowman · 2005-02-17 21:01:52

Replace

mkdir /boot/memtest86/
cp memtest.bin /boot/memtest86/memtest.bin

by:

install -D -m755 memtest.bin  $startdir/pkg/boot/memtest86/memtest.bin

It will aslo give memtest.bin executable permissions.

Thx, I'll post full pkgbuild on "New and Requested Packages".
