I ignored the errors generated by the patch (there were no errors on the critical hppa stuff, just some touches into the ia64 section? Didn't look into it in much detail) Boy did I fsck in my pants when I forgot that LD_LIBRARY_PATH had the current directory ... and I cd'd into the glibc build directory :} > > Keeping the diff in the glibc tree up to date, trying to merge it upstream, > fixing bugs as they arise. > I've never merged upstream, does it hurt? :} > > Let's see: > > apt-get source glibc > cd glibc-2.2.4-1 > vi debian/patches/0list > delete the `#' from the front of glibc22-hppa. > > I've fixed some problems with this patch, but it still dies doing the > install. > Are you using dpkg-buildpackage to build it all? Not having a debain based system makes it harder to test this... (I might install all the deb tools and give it a try...) 'make install' worked on my box. I theoretically have a working glibc 2.2.4-1 created using gcc-latest and binutils-latest from the parisc ftp-site. > > Really, I don't.

I can't see to find that tool, I'm sure it won't be hard to work with... ;) I might take over maintaining glibc, but not quite yet... If you let me get comfortable, possibly introducing me to the methodology or just letting me shadow what you do... I might just take it from you ;) Cheers, Carlos.
