Hi All, I've noticed that CVS retrieval for glibc cannot work, so I made a patch to disable it in glibc.in. There are several reasons for the CVS retrieval to fail: - glibc-2_10_1-branch doesn't exist in the CVS tree. only glibc-2_10_1 is there. but the CT_GetCVS assumes that -branch will always be the suffix to use. - there is no ports module for 2.10.1 yet I probably don't understand all the subtelty of glibc CVS tree tags naming, but I have noticed that some trees are clearly identical acrtoss versions. For instance "glibc-2_10-branch" and "glibc-2_10_1" are identical. glibc-2_10-branch/version.h carries the version 2.10.1 That being said, the upstream project advertizes the use of "git" rather than "cvs". Is there any work going on to have "git" trees retrieved ? Oh, before I forget, the recurring build failure for glibc (2.10.1) that I was seeing before Thanksgiving went totally away for some mysterious reasons. That had been discussed in this list around July 23. As suggested I tried 'ct-ng distclean' but no matter of cleanup solved my problem as it did for the original reporter. The Cross-Linux From Scratch foks were seeing the same problem. Based on their findings I introduced: CT_LIBC_GLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS="-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE Yeah, I don't like it either. But that made the problm go away. After Thanksgiving, I tried again without the flag. Lo and behold it worked. I don't know if any the checkins from Yann might have fixed that. I just wanted to document it in the list, in case it happens again. Thanks --Frederic -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
