An emerge wrapper for breaking emerges into chunks

Actually I think it was dirtyEpic who first mentioned it. Basicly this my approche after a couple of years of building the TC, stage1 stage2, stage3 install, bootstraping stage1s 2s and 3s, command line TC builds, wathcing and doing the gcc-beta threads and most importantly what has worked for me. In most cases your starting from a stable TC. When I started this thread I didnt have the experince I have now and I knew I couldnt supoort the way Bob_P does so to play it safe and from my experince of then thats what I said. Back to the topic, if I have a stable TC it will build a stable gcc-update. If its not capable of doing this then linux, heck all OS's have an insermountable problem.

Originlly bootstrap meant that you built your TC and a few other progs 3 times. That meant gcc was built 9 times. Somebody somewhere said to heck with this and only built the TC progs once and had no problems. That was in late 2003 I think maybe early 2004 . When gcc is built it bootstraps itself, in other words builds its self 3 times. 1st gcc-old builds gcc-new, 2nd time gcc-new[old] builds gcc-new[new-old] and then 3rd time gcc-new[new-old] builds gcc-new[new-new-old] at each stage gcc runs checks to see if its working correctly and in the stage2 and stage3 that compiliers are the same. This happens every time you emerge gcc.

So if your only upgrading gcc then I ve found that building it first. then the rest of the TC works and is quicker. If its glibc major upgrade then linux-hheaders are thrown in to be safe. Then glibc binutils gcc. There are times though when this, for gcc-testing, that you have to build binutils first then gcc, but those guys know this. This script is for regular users arent realy interested in the fine points of the TC or emergeing, they just want a save easy way to do it and or break things into smaller chunks. They actually use their computers for more than or only for web browsing email school and work. They think Im nuts for playing "break my gentoo"

zigver The system build time dependencies are fairly simple and a single go through will usually 99% of the time build them correctly, though with all x11 stuff starting to show up it WOULD BE wiser to build the system-TC twice.

Yes -s and -w just synonyms for system and world and yes its system-TC and world-TC. The "-W" is world-system-TC. Ill look at the documentation.

Running through the first "emwrap.sh -W", it hung on the "these failed to build" list. I CTRL-D'd and then it output this:

Just re-run emwrap.sh with the same flags when the faild message pops up do "f" ENTER. It will then move the failed list to the build file and emerge those packages. As you know emerges can fail for bunchs of reasons. If they fail to build again then you can " cat /tmp/emwrap/failed and emerge them one at a time. This will give a better idea why they are failing.

I was trying to use emwrap.sh 4.0.5 for the first time on my AMD64 box after upgrading to GCC 4.1.1 and ran into a problem at the end of of a "emwrap.sh -Sb" where the changes to gcc-config and eselect confuse the script and cause it to abort early.

gcc-config -l now reports

hielvc · Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:27 pm Post subject:

kiboko I posted a "em_No_gccselect.sh" which removes the call to gcc-config . This is a nother reason why I held off from doing this :lol:

I new the devs would change it. As to "--ignore-default-opts " I'll fix it in a day or 2, Im swamped todoy.

I have a couple of problems now.

First, I can't reach the site http://68.8.82.201:9002/ (and I have tried for days). It worked fine before.

So, of course, I tried copying the script on the first page of the thread. That didn't work either:

I too have been having issues connecting to your server. Can you not just get a SourceForge account and put all the Downloads up there? You can even put stuff in CVS and have revision control.

Apparently my cable connection was upgraded. I gat a 754.4k/sec donwload speed this morning

The down. Its now fixedside is that my address changed. Its now fixed.This has been really busy and remains so. I havent had a chance to really fix anything. Tonight Ill try to paste the no gcc-config to the front page.

Perhaps if you find a good, but small project, and have a little space you could mirror it on your webspace to help spread the load a little.

I did for McQuires earlier re-write of emwrap. It has not been kept up with advancements that hielvc has been making. If I can get more time again. I'll clean up a few things for some space and offer to mirror your current releases. It is on my ISP's personal webspace so should have reasonable bandwidth.

hielvc,

I think you need to fix this in your emwrap.sh

After first emerging gcc-4.1.1 once, I executed

When doing an "emwrap.sh -set" am I supposed to do that once or twice? The output of -setp shows it building some of the TC twice but not all of it. Just figured I'd ask to be sure.

Once should be enough. As long as the packages are emerged in a specific order (emwrap.sh does already) and you are not having any real, nasty problems with your system.

Sorry for my lack of responding but I have been hammered at work. After 14hour days my brain just goes on strike. HOoopefully in the next 2 or 3 days things will slow down.

Uh...

So if the kernel headers are a different version from the actual kernel you are using what does that mean?

uname -a = 2.6.16-r9
linux headers = 2.6.11-r2

Forgive me...I'm a n00b! HA HAHA...HA :cry:

Does the ordering of the options for the emwrap command not have an effect?

example: if I choose -Sb1, it starts off by emerging the TC files. Since I'm having the same issue with the gcc-config/eselect deprecation thing, after the error, should I:

manually select the new gcc version via eselect compile set
manually sourece /etc/profile
manually emerge libstdv3++
run emwrap.sh -S

to get the same effect as if the error never occured? Is there another gcc build in that sequence somewhere that should occur?

I moved em_noselect_gcc.sh to emwrap.sh. When you run it with no args it will annouce its self as "emwrap.sh no gcc select v. 4.0.5 "The fuzzy tailed rats are winning, Elp"". Youll not get the gcc-config error.

TimeStamp Jun 24 16:35 emwrap.sh

ck42 no I desinged emwrap.sh to not be finicky about the flags and thier order with one exception "exclude" or -X. They have to be the last flags, switch, with its args following.
