Started with 1.2 stage1 tarball from ~gerk/PowerPC. Ibook indio/firewire 64megs ram. bootstrap fails at the start of the groff compile call out no C++ compiler found. at this point went to irc : --> You are now talking on #gentoo-ppc --- Topic for #gentoo-ppc is Please report any bugs found to bugs.gentoo.org (dont just tell us in here), and please search bugs to make sure they are not there already :) | new gentoo-ppc 1.2 stage1/2/3 released || if you're keyboard is b0rked check out this url: http://fireserver.ath.cx/gentoo/msg27128.html --- Topic for #gentoo-ppc set by Gerk at Wed Jul 10 23:24:41 --> Riddelll (jr@modem-962.arcanine.dialup.pol.co.uk) has joined #gentoo-ppc <agenna> ideas on a bootstrap problem? bootstrap fails at the start of the groff compile call out no C++ compiler found? secondly can i just re-run bootstrap.sh should it fail or do i have to start from scratch? ..... <owen> agenna: no idea <owen> try to emerge groff ..... <agenna> can bootstrap.sh be re-run or is it better to start over <agenna> emerge sys-apps/groff fails with the same error ..... <owen> agenna: shit <owen> agenna: try a stage2 <agenna> ok <owen> or wait.... <agenna> ok <owen> what version of groff is it pulling <agenna> 1.17.2-r1 ...... <agenna> yah, but must i do anything to get a working c++ compiler? <agenna> or does the gcc package inclue this ..... <owen> agenna: no...the problem is with groff <agenna> can i use an older groff ..... <owen> agenna: if it fails for me... ..... <owen> i'll mask it <owen> agenna: it works for me... <owen> can you c&p the exact error? <agenna> configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required Function src_compile, Line 1, Exitcode 1 <owen> weird <owen> ok, whats your path? <owen> echo $PATH <owen> and can you run g++ <agenna> "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin" <owen> can you run g++? <agenna> no command not found <owen> wtf! <owen> thats weird <owen> bugs.gentoo.org <owen> assign the bug to gerk@gentoo.org <agenna> sure, ok also have had problems with the system clock being reset to 1903. but tat was fixed with "exec date -s "..."" since then emerged gcc (not part of bootstrap) and re-ran the bootstrap.sh over again and compleated. attempting to emerge --fetchonly system; emerge system today
I know what the problem is with that... that build is depreciated, and I should take it down. Please use the stage1 tarball from the gentoo.org mirrors. If you are really stuck using that one you may be able to do rm -rf /var/cache/edb/deps/* and be able to continue with it.
