I have several questions:
Is it possible to find out with which flags system was build?
Is it possible with what options and flags application was built ( mplayer for example)?
How to set default gcc flags for building packages in fedora?
this is how to set your ubuntu for compiling to use multi processor. some older packages require you to use only 1 processor. so comment the export make flag, then "echo $MAKEFLAGS" to see how many processors your using you might need to "source .bashrc" to update the rc file
Code:
cat >> ~/.bashrc << "EOF"
# parallel compile settings

I would like to create some packages for programs that use the Git software to manage the source, I want to do this directly using the source code in the Git repo as the source code form the package. Does anyone have any hints or directions on how to do this? I been looking round the web for information about this, but all I seem to find is for about storing and build Debian packages from git, this is not what I want to do as these packages are for personal use and I have no need for this.

I wish to install a Desktop Environment preferably KDE and I wanted to know how and where do I begin from? Do I need to have a working XORG prior to installation of KDE and do I also need to install Window mangers and e.t.c? What all packages/libraries and components do I need to install first? I'm really not sure where should I begin from.
Initially what I am trying to do is to have working GUI system,then later on I can install rest of the packages and software that I need, like office, GPU drivers, browser etc. Secondly,for a minimal KDE system,what metapackages are to be installed from this site? I believe kdebase, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace are required. [URL]

I have been playing with chroot to build packages.I am wondering about the limits or caveats of using chroot to mix operating systems. For example, what should I beware if I use 12.2 and chroot a 13.1 system? Or if I use 13.1 and chroot a 12.2 system? After all, the chroot does inherit some attributes of the parent system.There is the noticeable difference of kernel versions. For that one reason I'm thinking that mixing system versions might be frustrating.
My focus is building packages, not running an alternate operating system or a service such as ssh. I realize that building packages as root in a chroot potentially compromises security but that is not my focus.I am aware that a chroot is not a true virtual system.A virtual machine is an option, but in this thread I'm curious about the limitations of chroot. I find building packages in my virtual machines much slower than actual hardware, even with a dual core. Hence my interest in chroot
I've got a question about chattr command. is it possible to restrict a root access for this command. what i want is something similar to freebsd behaviour aka the kernel secure level. setting a particular security level results in limiting some operations (i.e changing immutable flags on files) by root. well, if someone gained an access to a machine in some way, nothing would stop him changing the file's flags. so the question is if it can be achieved with selinux?

Eth0 with ip 1.1.1.2 and gateway 1.1.1.1 these ip's is not public ip's and falls unders the isp's internal range, eth1 with the internal ip range. OpenVPN listen on eth0 for incoming connections. We want to connect to Server1 from external networks. Due to different reasons the isp could not get the routing sorted and give us an public ip on his network. We had to setup another bos (Server2) with eth0 2.2.2.5 and gateway 2.2.2.1 which is public ip's and eth1 with ip 3.3.3.5. Server 2 can communicate via the ISP internal network with server 1. I use DNAT to forward all incoming connections on server 2 to server 1 but the problem I have is that server uses its default gateway for the return packages and does not sent the reply back to server 2. My iptables rules looks as follows on server 2.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

I have been trying to build the HP Qlogic Netxen, nx_nic, driver on Ferdora13 kernel 2.6.33 but facing with "missing kernel-devel package" errors. As per the instructions in the driver spec, when i try to do rpm build, i get this error. I tried the rpm build installing kernel-devel-i686 pkg but it only shoots back with
error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-devel-i586 = package is needed by hp-nx_nic-4.0.544-2.src
But when I installed kernel-devel-i586 pkg for kernel 2.6.30 the rpm build continued beyond this error point only to give some other RPM build error atleast to say there was no missing kernel-devel pkg error. Has anybody come across any such error with any other driver? or nx_nic in specific? Does this error mean kernel-devel-i586 a MUST for this driver? As far as I know there is no -i586 pkg for kernel 2.6.33 when i searched in kernel-devel repository! I am not sure, if this forum is right place for posting this question. If not, pls re-direct me to the right one.
I am trying to build a gcc 4.4.3 cross-compiler. I downloaded the gcc 4.4.3 release, uncompressed it, made a new directory called gccbuild and cd'd there. I have already installed gmp, mpfr, and mpc in /usr/local. These are the commands I used:
Code:
configure --target=arm-linux --enable-languages=c --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local
make
However, the build fails with
Code:
checking for arm-linux-gcc... /home/steven/gccbuild/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/steven/gccbuild/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/ -B/usr/local/arm-linux/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/arm-linux/include -isystem /usr/local/arm-linux/sys-include

This is what I get:

Is there any constrains for other flags/instruction to reset FLAGS?
I want to install Fedora 10 but need to build RAID (bcraid) drivers so the installation will see my RAID array. I'm currently running Fedora 6 & thought this would be the process:
1) Install kernel source
2) Modify configuration to include bcraid drivers.
3) Build new kernel
4) Replace kernel in standard build with custom kernel or load driver during installlation
5) Install Fedora 10
I'm stuck on no. 1. When I tried to install the kernel source, there was some problem with "mockbuild" (wot dat?) which I think was a red herring but I now don't know what to do about these unsatisfied dependencies:
