I'm really new to FreeBSD CURRENT - I've got a little inet last week ( in Russia we usually have dialup) and spent a day to cvsup all the -current sources. I had 4.4 -RELEASE from a cdrom before. But let me say a few words about my ``machine'' - I have a 166 MMX 5 years old computer, which was not able to carry KDE 2.2, but easily swallowed 2.1. BTW i overclocked comp as I first saw it, to 200 MHz. Well, I downloaded sources and began compilling. 1 hour - *** Error: you entered these __FBSDID in every source, but I had headers w/o them. I replaced my system headers with /usr/src/include and tried to compile again. 1 more hour - cc1: internal compiler error please submit a full bug report. I should mention that 1 hour on my ``computer'' is only a first stage of buildworld + groff, binutils and a half of gcc. Actually I spent a day to work out an idea of replacing headers. So, day 2. compile-compile-compile. cc, make, sh - ev'rything got a fatal SIFSEGV. I didn't know what to think - "Stallman wrote shit!!!" - thought I, "Bourne with his shell are aresholes!!!", "Hulk Hogan should put on anonimous author of make!!!". I was to compile evrything for 3 hours and then get funny error messages. Imagine yourself on my place. Day 3. tada. I installed new libc and some other libraries to get rid of ld errors, but no recompilation of gcc reduced the amount of segfaults. Day 3 was wasted on shouting russian ...a-a-a... equivalents of american ``f#ck'' - you know - but no progress. And at last, day 4 - I tored cover from the box and downclocked CPU back to 166 and - Even Imagine!!! - no errors from that times!!! Think about it: A desktop worked 3 years under M$ OS's and then from July 2001 under FreeBSD, and no problems were at all with all programs, so what struck on a box is builworld. P.S. I want to learn BSD sources and could mail me about some architectural overview of BSD? Not Unix in general, I already have sources of Bell labs unix v5, v6 and v7 (1974-1976). -- Walrus --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: text/ascii; charset=koi8-r Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=message --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
