 |

Hello
Is someone using grub 0.94 (not the static version) on the amd64 platform?
regards
Thomas |

I don't think so... it's still explicitly masked for anything but the x86 platform. The grub homepage looks interesting though. It seems it is now part of the GNU project, and is being totally rewritten for GRUB 2. By the looks of it, the 0.94 version will never work on amd64, but they're working on making the new one portable.

| grub-0.94-r1 does now work on amd64. It does however require a multilib gcc and compiles it in 32 bit still |

Ah! You learn something new every day! Shame I'm not using multilib really

| if you install a multilib compiler and emerge portage with USE=multilib, you also no longer have to disable sandbox in order to install openoffice-bin or a multilib gcc 3.4. |

By installing a multilib compiler and enabling USE="multilib", do you mean just bootstrapping with gcc-3.3.3 and then emerging gcc-3.4.0? (I have no real interest in watering down my 64-bit system with 32-bit-ness unless I can help it. I'm just curious  ) |

I can't get gcc 3.4-r6 to emerge with multilib on (and gcc 3.4-rX did only work for a short period of time, to my knowledge), without it portage will not compile using the multilib-flag. glibc does compile fine with gcc 3.4-r6 and multilib, though...

| Code: | FEATURES="-sandbox" USE="multilib -gcj" emerge gcc
USE="multilib" emerge portage
emerge grub |
emerge gcc fails due to not having 32bit sandbox in portage and you can't have 32bit sandbox without multilib gcc. The above should fix this, and get you a 32bit sandbox so that you no longer need to emerge openoffice-bin etc with FEATURES=-sandbox. |

Hmmm... how is the system affected by disabling gcj (java compiler)
I have various systems. Some of them were built with gcj, other without that FLAG and i don't see any difference apart from not having gcj.
