Binary packages for Gentoo/m68k This should now be very close to a fully working system. I have myself installed a couple of systems from scratch simly by unpacking the most obvious system packages to a boot-partition. (This can ofcourse be done one a non-m68k machine as well, as long as the system understands the partition table of the m68k system, and the filesystem of choice) You can also use this directory as a binary source in /etc/make.conf, just set PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/m68k/" The packages were buildt with /etc/make.profile pointing to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/m68k and the following flags in /etc/make.conf: --- USE="python berkdb xml logrotate objc objc++ pam zlib crypt png jpeg truetype ncurses nptl nptlonly curl ccache memlimit ipv6 tcpd imagemagick expat gd dba apache2 bzip2 mailwrapper ssl idn -oss -apache1 -dvd -xv -gpm -nls -esd -sdl -oggvorbis -gnome -gtk -gtk2 -X -qt -kde -motif -opengl -mozilla -cups -foomaticdb -mudflap" CHOST="m68k-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-m68030 -pipe -Os" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" (-Os does not always work, I then try -O2 or no -O at all) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~m68k ~x86 x86 ppc" FEATURES="sandbox ccache buildpkg" --- /etc/portage/package.use is: --- sys-fs/e2fsprogs static sys-apps/baselayout static sys-libs/glibc userlocales sys-libs/cracklib python net-www/apache mpm-prefork dev-lang/php cli app-editors/nano minimal --- All packages are build on an CBM Amiga A1200 with a Blizzard-1260 (68060 clocked at 50MHz) with 192MB RAM. As I build newer packages I will uploaded them here. Note: glibc-2.4 is still on the todo, support for the required Native POSIX Threads Library is still unresolved for m68k. Note (2007-01-16): I've had some BAD experience with the e2fstools - if you experience weird problems (e2mkfs unable to format filesystem, e2fsck complaining about blocks being outside fs) please try busybox instead instead, using "busybox e2mkfs" and "busybox e2fsck" etc. Cheers! -- kolla , 2007-06-02
