- This problem is not unique to you. I have been attempting to solve it for about
- a week now, and am quite close to pitching linux in the trash because of it.
- If I can't develop software under this base, I have no interest in taking up the
- HD space related. (flame off). Any ways, this is what I have done, attempting
- to solve the problem:
-
- Info:
- . Sometimes, very rarely, the compile actually works. However, on something
- as large as the kernel, it won't ever make it all the way through.
- . I have actually gotten a memory test and a cache test program to compile,
- and neither of them have detected any errors.
- . Nothing has ever caused this signal, except cc1.
- . I'm running 0.97 no patches, cause I can't recompile the kernel, cause
- gcc doesn't work.
- . Intel 386 33, 64k external cache, 5mb ram, 7mb swap, tseng 4000 video,
- maxtor 7213a 203mb HD, AMI bios dated 5/5/91.
-
- Attempts at fixing it:
- . I have swapped ram around/in/out of my motherboard to no avail.
- . I have disabled my external cache, to no avail.
- . I have tried the following root images: 0.96 0.97 0.97.1 (in the process of)
- to no avail.
- . I have used the 0.96 boot and the 0.97 boot. I'd use the 0.97.1 boot, but
- of course, I can't compile it.
- . I have downloaded and installed gcc at least 8 different times. This time,
- I'm still hashing out problems with install.2.x (yes, I know there is a
- new version.) I knew there were errors with the original one before it
- was released, but I had to leave town and couldn't mail about them.
- . I have put my HD and controller into a friends machine, to no avail.
- . I have tried gcc 2.2.2c and 2.2.2d to no avail.
- . I have tried compiling HelloWorld, to no avail.
- . I have twiddled with the wait states on my machine, to no avail.
- . I have asked on the IRC in #linux for help. No one there has a solution.
- . I have posted to this newsgroup, and had a few other people tell me that
- they too have this problem, and would like it solved, but noone has
- ever told me a solution.
-
-
- Attempts to be made:
- . Finish re-installing the new release of gcc.
- . Find some kind soul to let me have a bootimage of 0.97pl1 to try.
- . Mail somebody, anybody about this, maybe including the mailing lists.
- . Obviously, I cannot recompile the compiler myself to try. I know someone
- that claims to have compiled gcc for linux under a sparc 2, and I will
- to do that myself on my local sparcs.
- . Give up.
-
- If anybody at all could help in any way, please let me know. I'd really like
- to help build linux into a great operating system, but now it is impossible.
