 112 <p>There are two "steps" that are not really steps and that are performed only in <i>automated</i> mode. Moscow had reccommended that we insert an exit statement in a certain location and run in automated mode (as root I can only assume) to get the Bluecat GNU Tools. I had originally subsetted this out and built them as int. However since I was having so many odd problems I decided to go strictly as Moscow instructs.</p>

 137                               <h3>Bluecat build failure in step 3</h3>
 138
 139 <p>I was asked to rebuild Bluecat using R_5_2_1_ppc_20050314 as a tag. I tried doing this but it is failing. I made it to step 4 when it was failing with something about unable to find /arch/ppc/Makefile or something like that. I decided to instead go back to the beginning and make the GNU Tools (step 0) just to be sure. Now I get stuck at step 3. It fails in an odd way too. In /usr/lynx/loc_archive under LOGS I have the following at the tail of the step3 log:</p>
 140
 141 <div class="code"><pre>

 144 Installing glibc package

 149 +++ Exit .... +++
 150 </pre></div>
 151
 152 <p>However in archive/20050314/ppc/logs/step3 for build_glib.log I have:</p>
 153
 154 <div class="code"><pre>

 166
 167 <p>Do you know what is going wrong?</p>
 168 <hr>
 169 <h4>Later I wrote:</h4>
 170
 171 <p>Well rebuilding didn't help (I didn't think it would). Things seem to be failing in the rpm-tmp.<num> script. This script seems to be dynamically created. It sets some variables and basically does a configure and make in build/20050314/cdt/src/bluecat/BUILD/glib-1.2.10. This eventually boils down to the following gcc command:</p>
 172
 173 <div class="code"><pre>
 174 [int@jaguar glib-1.2.10]$ gcc -O2 -g -march=i386 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o .libs/testglib testglib.o .libs/libglib.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/cdt/lib
 175 .libs/libglib.so: undefined reference to `va_copy'
 176 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 177 </pre></div>
 178
 179 <p>Oh, BTW, the old machine (penguin) has been renamed to jaguar but is otherwise the same.</p>
 180
 181 <p>I'm attempting to run step 3 again but I fear it'll just have the same error.</p>
 182
 183 <p>Note I will be monitoring email and this build from home so if you have any ideas send them right away.</p>

 211                               <h3>NetSNMP 5.1.1</h3>
 212
 213 <p>We have a chicken and egg situation here. Apparently the src package needs to be built before the build happens, yet it also needs kern_mib.o and kern_mib.d.o, which you get <b>after</b> the build!. The scripts do not handle this gracefully so I rebuilt the packages by hand. Julia says the build is OK now but repeatability will be a problem</p>
 214
 215 <h3>Installation of RH 8.0</h3>
 216
 217 <p>After some initial trouble installing from CDROM (Needed to set IDE to Legacy in the BIOS) I managed to install RH 8.0. However I sized the root drive to only 2048 Meg. Turns out the RH 8.0 installation took 2020 Meg so I want to redo this. Upon reinstallation I'm again having problems with the CD. Seems the first CD has etchings on the outermost ring of the CD itself. Not sure if I caused this or if it was there before. May need to get anotehr CD for RH 8.0</p>
