Is grub working under Beta-9? When I put a new custom-compiled kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst, it did not change anything in the boot screen. Also, when I tried to access yast2-bootloader within yast2, the machine freezed. I am currently running k_smp-2.4.19-237. Regards, Hugh

readline 32bit for Linux/64bit
by Stephen Williams 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

Next problem. The Icarus Verilog simulation engine wants the readline package for the vvp program. If I'm gonna succeed at making a vvp32 for AMD64, I'm going to need readline-32bits and readline-32bits-devel packages. I'd be willing to have a go at this myself. Is there a standard way to do this? I'm thinking the way to do this is take the same readline source that the 64bit package uses, make a new .spec file that compiles it with -m32, and install only the bits that are not already installed by the 64bit readline. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

Place to put 64bit and 32bit HEADER files
by Stephen Williams 06 Oct '03

OK, my product has a header file, _pli_types.h, that is generated by configure to account for word size in defining 64bit and 32bit types. But if I'm going to support 64 and 32bit compilation on AMD64, I'm going to need to do something about that. I may be able to resort to inttypes.h for this specific problem, but is there a general solution? -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

Makefiles for targeting both 64 and 32bit
by Stephen Williams 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I'm working on my Makefiles for Icarus Verilog so that my package can all at once be built to support 64bit and 32bit compiles. Most components I plan to keep native (the core compiler and preprocessor) but there are a few libraries to be compiled for both 32 and 64bit, and the vvp run time engine will need to be compiled for 64 and 32bits. Ideally, I would like to find a way to do this build all at once with a single make, and I would like configure to auto-detect this situation and set up the makefiles. It is OK to require GNU make, in fact it is already required. I'm going to just plod forth for now, but I'm looking for hints/suggestions for things like organizing the build and install directories, etc. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
