My thoughts on Slackware, life and everything

I rebuilt the gcc-4.8.0 multilib packages

In Slackware-current there was an update (or rather a rebuild) of the gcc 4.8.0 compiler suite, which re-adds several header files that seem to have accidentally dropped out of the installation.I have applied the same changes to the gcc packages in my multilib repository. The rebuiltgcc-4.8.0_multilib packages can be downloaded from any of these locations (mirror servers may need to catch up still):

Read the articles on docs.slackware.com about how to add or update multilib on your 64-bit Slackware.

Cheers, Eric

    @rahul: I get message, too, when building something known as “libblkmaker”. I wonder why.

    Looks like it’s a bug: Bug 53847

    I’ve been getting a lot of “expecting string instruction after rep'” errors ever since updating to 4.8.0…

    I found details about your report on http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org/msg391554.html

    Please note that Slackware-current has a more recent version of binutils than you are using (/binutils-2.23.52.0.1 in -current versus 2.22.52.0.2 on your cmputer).
    It looks like you did a partial upgrade?

    Yes, it was a version mismatch. I upgraded to binutils-2.23.52.0.1 and the issue went away. thanks

    Can’t upgrade from gslapt using …/multilib/14.0 repo, gives HTTP error. I suppose it’s due PACKAGE MIRROR: and PACKAGE LOCATION: mismatch in 14.0/PACKAGES.TXT. Upgrading from …/multilib repo goes OK, but it upgrades to current

    bam, ask the slapt-get developers why you get failure. See http://software.jaos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/slapt-get-user

    Without you posting your error messages, I can not help you at all. The “PACKAGE LOCATION” lines in 14.0/PACKAGES.TXT are correct for the packages in that directory.
    Can you please also tell me what multilib repository URL you have added in your gslaptrc file?

    http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ and http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/14.0/, the former works but upgrades to current, and the latter is not. Maybe 14.0/PACKAGES.TXT should include PACKAGE MIRROR: strings ended with …/multilib/14.0/?
