What I have don up to now: grabbed the sources and plugged
it into my FreeBSD-1.0 system. After some fiddling around,
almost everything seems to work. Just some oddities left...
Sounds like you've been unnecessarily replicating a lot of work!
You should have talked to us - we'd have tried to get you supping
freebsd-current somehow and you'd have all this already.
1. the program ld.so (the runtime-linker) seems only to work
if the Stack-limit is set to unlimited or >8MB, else
the sbrk-function in rtld.c maps-memory in that is not
accessable by ld.so. Bug or Feature? (Just to say, if
Neither bug nor feature, but difference in the way stack space
is allocated. Fixed and working in FreeBSD-current.
2. After building libc, i get errors when dynamicly linking some
programs like:
RRS text relocation at 0x171e (symbol ___sF)
You need the current versions of the build tools. Sup! Sup! Sup!
This stuff is ripe for the taking on the net! :-)
ftp to freefall.cdrom.com and look in ~ftp/pub/sup - there are
binaries and full instructions on how to set it up.
3. I do have problems in building libXaw, libXmu ...
Who should these libraries be built dynamiclly?
All this (with XFree86 2.0 at least) should be done using
the files in freefall.cdrom.com:~ftp/incoming/XFree862.0_shlib.tar.gz
This stuff is in the final stretch, and anyone willing to sup and
rebuild using the current sources will enjoy the extra functionality
and also assist us greatly in filing any remaining rough edges off!
