Can we please get ebuilds for both the bcm43xx Broadcom Wireless Driver and the softmac 80211 package into portage :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Not in portage? Expected Results: emerge bcm43xx :) Ive got a bcm43xx ebuild already if you want it, let me know. Might save some steps for ppl wanting to test/use the driver having this in portage. Even if its masked for now until more testing is done and crypto is working.
Im guessing using snapshots might be safer for these packages, seeing as they are likely to change rapidly and may have build issues from time to time. JoseJX you know where to find me if you want me to organise something with your approval :)
I'd be interested in seeing the ebuilds. If you could post them as attachments to this bug then people could test them out for you and report back here. Also there do seem to be snapshot packages in ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/bcm43xx/, and I'd be happy to convert the ebuilds to use these if they are currently cvs/svn-based ebuilds and if it'd be of any help...

When I just build it using 'make' in the source tree it goes fine. emerge --info: Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/ppc/2005.1/ppc/G4, gcc-4.0.2, glibc-2.3.6-r2, 2.6.15 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15 ppc 7447A, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=G4 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=G4 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/gentopia" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X a52 aac acl alsa altivec audiofile avahi berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr crypt cups dbus dga dri dvd dvdr eds emboss evo exif expat fam fbcon firefox flac fortran gdbm gif glitz glut gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl idn ieee1394 ipv6 jpeg lcms libwww logrotate mad matroska mng mono mp3 mpeg nautilus ncurses nfs nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pci pdflib perl pic pie png pnp posix ppds python readline samba scanner sdl spell sqlite ssl svg symlink tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vorbis xml2 xv zlib video_cards_radeon userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Also, if you take the line make -C /lib/modules/2.6.15/build M=/var/tmp/portage/ieee80211softmac-0.1-r20060105/work/ieee80211softmac-0.1 modules straight out of the error output and paste it onto the command line as root, it works fine.
These appear to now be in portage. Should this bug be marked fixed?
ebuild has been added to the tree.
