• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marek Krolikowski 2006-10-25 01:50:03 UTC]

STAGE 1
After:
[cut]
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4 /etc/make.profile;
[cut]
emerge --emptytree system;
[cut]
i try compile kernel 2.4
and there is a problem...
in my system do not exist gcc 3.X i have only 4.1.1.
Why in ebuild from kernel 2.4 there is no line with DEPEND gcc 3.X ?? If He need it to compile?
Mayby someone can add in ebuild DEPEND="=sys-devel/gcc-3*"

Reopen with some errors you get when compiling kernel, we can't guess.

After:
1. emerge hardened-sources;
2. make menuconfig;
3. make dep
4. make bzImage
I have got this error:

My .config file is there: http://pastebin.ca/220510

But after i give:
emerge =gcc-3.4.6-r1
gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
source /etc/profile
emerge hardened-sources;

everythink is all right.. so this is a problem with GCC 4.1.1

No, it's problem w/ kernel code; there's nothing wrong w/ gcc-4.1.1 here.

[Comment 5 Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) 2007-01-09 19:01:26 UTC]

this problem has been resolved by a custom patch to the newer 2.4.x hardened kernel sources allowing the compilation with gcc 4

Reopen if you still have problems.
