Stage 1/3 Installation Guide for Gentoo 2005.1 & GCC 3.4.5

[Bob P]

not really. the guide specifically states that it only supports 686, and that's what is used in the example. it provides a warning for people who attempt to deviate from the guide and install on a 586 box, and advises them that if they're going to do that, they'd better get the combination of tarball, chost, and march setting right. no inconsistency.

OY,

A litle story here.

After building my laptop from scrach with 2005.1 & gcc 3.4.4, I decided to upgrade gcc to 3.4.5 following only the part of the installation of the gcc 3.4.5 from the guide 2005.1 & gcc 3.4.5.

Meaning something like this

[sylware]

I got the same issue.
Emerge again all packages from dev-perl you got installed.

First: This is not the suport thread. Maybe you overlooked the repeated boldfaced red advisories about that.

Second: Support is only available to people who are following the Guide without modifying it. If you are not following the Guide exactly as it is written for its intended purpose, then you are deviating from the Guide and support is not available.

This Guide covers new installs -- it does not cover GCC Migration. If you want to do that, then you should read the GCC Migration Guide, as it performs additional steps that you have been skipping. If you attempt to adapt this Guide to do something other than what it is intended to do, then you should expect that problems may crop-up as a direct result of your having done things improperly. In cases like that you are responsible for the errors that you generate, and you are responsible for finding your own solutions. Please don't come here looking for support.

Third: Problems that you encounter with ebuilds and/or portage dependencies are bugs with the ebuild. You might want to look at bugzilla. They are totally unrelated to the Guide.

Please understand that if you are deviating from the Guide and you run into a problem, your escapades are totally unsupported. Please try not to take this thread off-topic with totally irrelevant information by discussing your problems here -- doing that only confuses the new users who are attempting to follow the Guide. New users often don't have the sophistication to recognize irrelevant information that is injected by people who are not following the Guide, and the irrelvant material often confuses them. This makes understanding the Guide that much harder for everyone else, and supporting it that much harder for me.

Thanks.

Had to search for this thread after some baselayout changes, wanted to check hdparm settings. Man this thread really should get stickied.

Is there a reason users need to register and log in before viewing the support or installation threads at the jackass forums? A nice feature about the gentoo phpbb forums is they are open to the general public, including the google bot (as the search feature of phpbb needs work).

Please accept my apologies. My post was not intended as criticism of you, the jackass project or anyone else. I shall ask questions in the correct place in future.

[Bob P]

no apology needed. just trying to minimize the impact of non-gentoo projects on the gentoo servers.
