Latest kernel?

Latest kernel?

[Robert Rusek]

Where can I obtain the latest stable build of the kernel.  I need it to work
on my SGI IP22.  If possible I do not want to use CSV since I do not have a
high speed internet connection.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob.

I dont think there are regular tarballs - Take the pain once - checkout
the kernel and before modifying make a tarball. Then you can just

cvs -z3 update -Pd 

Your tarball all the time. BTW: You should checkout -r linux_2_4 as
i dont think 2.5 has success reports on mips already.

I received success reports for some eval boards but at the same time
2.5 is a construction zone ...

Florian,

I checked the oss.sgi.com cvs and they do not seem to have linux_2_4
only linux-2.4-xfs.  Is that what I am looking for?  Will that give me a
working 2.4.x kernel?

Thanks in advance,
Rob.

Nope - The repository is "linux" and the tag is "linux_2_4"

Problem Cross compiling simple test program

[Wayne Gowcher]

I am trying to cross compile a simple "Hello World"
use app. I have the rpms (obtained from sgi site ) for
binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-2 and
egcs-mipsel-linux-1.1.2-4 installed. I first started
using redhat 6.1 available on the sgi website and
extracted the glibc libraries from 

glibc-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm
glibc-devel-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm

to
/usr/mipsel-linux/lib &
/usr/mipsel-linux/include

When I compile my little test app using the following
it compiles OK and when executed on the MIPS target it
prints out "Hello World" on cue.

mipsel-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c

I wanted to use the redhat 7.0 distribution on sgi, so
I backed up the include and lib directories of
/usr/mipsel-linux and cleaned them out, then extracted
the redhat 7.0 glibc libraries. I then compiled the
same hello user app, but this time the app won't even
link and gives me the error :

/usr/mipsel-linux/bin/ld:
/usr/mipsel-linux/lib/libc.so.6: __libc_enable_secure:
invalid version 6 (max 5)
/usr/mipsel-linux/lib/libc.so.6: could not read
symbols: Bad value

Note, I hand edit /usr/mipsel-linux/lib/libc.so to
reflect the path to /usr/mipsel-linux instead of /lib
and /usr/lib.

Note if I go back to the backed up dirs I can still
compile hello.c.

I used the following files to extarct the glibc
libraries :
glibc-2.2.2-1.mipsel.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.2-1.mipsel.rpm

I use the following simple script to extract libraries
in both cases :

--start script---
mkdir tmp
cd tmp

# fileone=glibc-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm
# filetwo=glibc-devel-2.0.6-5lm.mipsel.rpm

fileone=glibc-2.2.2-1.mipsel.rpm
filetwo=glibc-devel-2.2.2-1.mipsel.rpm

rpm2cpio ../$fileone | cpio --extract
--make-directories
rpm2cpio ../$filetwo | cpio --extract
--make-directories

cp -a usr/include /usr/mipsel-linux

cp -a lib/* /usr/mipsel-linux/lib
cp -a usr/lib/* /usr/mipsel-linux/lib

cd ../
rm -fr tmp

cd /usr/mipsel-linux/lib
ls -l | grep "../../lib" | sed 's|../../lib/||' | awk
'{print "ln -sf", $11, $9 }' | tee fixit

sh fixit
rm fixit 

--- end of simple script ---

So that's what I am doing, and I would really
appreciate if anyone on the list could answer my
questions :

1, To cross compile target apps for redhat7.0, I do
really need to cross compile against the glibc-2.2.2
libraries don't I ? Could I get away with compiling
against the glibc-2.0.6 libraries ?

2, Has anyone managed to cross compile user apps
against redhat 7.0 ? If so how did you do it ? Please
give details.

3, Can anyone see anything wrong in what I have done
and if so, can you tell me what and where ?

TIA

Wayne
