I did a make buildworld and a make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC(actually I disabled the -CURRENT debugging in my own config file, but otherwise its exactly the same), then installed both and rebooted. I downloaded his cvsup snapshot, and added it. It seems to run fine for me actually, I just used my regular supfile (with ports-all and src-all), except without compress. I built a number of ports, and have had varying degrees of success. Ports that worked: x11/XFree86-4 www/apache2 lang/php4 (WITH_APACHE2="yes") some mail server stuff (postfix, courier-imap, spamassassin, procmail) perl 5.8.0 portupgrade (and ruby I guess :-P) postgresql (though I havn't done any testing, I just know it builds) sudo/screen/wget/bash2/zsh and of course vim :-) obviously most of these things are going to 'just work' because it's a standard *nix environment. Ports that needed some tweaking or didn't work completely: Samba-devel (3.0.0, I posted about this on the list earlier, so see the follow-ups to that) Mysql appeared to cause some weird kernel traps (trap 9, though I don't have the message available right now), but it ran (mostly) Ports that don't work Obviously ezm3/cvsup don't build from scratch Gnome2 and kde 3 aren't happy, I know one of them didn't like a library that wasn't built with -fPIC, I think that it was an XFree library though, I don't really remember. I'm sure there are a number of others that won't work without emulation (i.e. packages we don't' have the source code for), and anything that uses x86 assembly code will probably not work either :-) seth -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Adriaan de Groot Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 2:56 PM To: amd64@freebsd.org Subject: bootstrapping So, while I'm waiting for my K8V to be RMA'ed, I'm thinking about how to go about integrating this amd64 box into my network and getting it running. I gather there's no really working cvsup, and David's snapshot build from way back is (a) from wayback (b) unstable under load. I've got several running systems, both -STABLE and -CURRENT, with cvsupped /usr/src's. The /usr/src's are NFS exported, and I've got a spare cheap-ass NIC (yes, an RTL 8029). Supposing I boot a 4-STABLE drive with rl(4) in place in an amd64 box - what do I need to do to get it up to speed (heck, let's make it a 5-CURRENT drive, since we've got the 4-to-5 upgrade otherwise as well). - do I need to cvsup anything special? extra branches? are all the sources for all the architectures normally in a /usr/src/sys? - does X "just build" then? Getting all this (and the machine) together ought to take me a while, and I promise to be quite while that happens :) [ade] _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
