17:25 < valentin> Durch die Umrechnung vom 10er- in das 2er-System schleichen sich oft Fehler ein, die aufwändig korrigiert werden müssen.
17:29 < valentin> well, i guess they mean floating point calculations

19:45 < CIA-9> ragnar * r20131 /trunk/package/base/dietlibc/dietlibc.desc: * dietlibc needs fpic-quirk on x86-64
19:46 < rxr> _Ragnar_: ieeek!
19:46 < rxr> it should not
19:46 < rxr> what did you do? compile it as usual ?
19:46 < _Ragnar_> well dbus fails it not
19:46 < _Ragnar_> yea
19:46 < rxr> you build dbus against dietlibc ?
19:46 < _Ragnar_> eeeh
19:46 < _Ragnar_> udve
19:46 < _Ragnar_> udev*
19:46 < _Ragnar_> not dbus
19:47 < rxr> what is the exact error ?
19:47 < rxr> (throwing -fPIC boilderplate on a normally statically linked C library is at least not the right way to go)
19:48 * rxr testbuilding right now on my Turion64 subnotebook
19:48 < _Ragnar_> why shouldn't a statically linked lib not be PIC?
19:48 -!- sepp_ is now known as sepp
19:49 < _Ragnar_> bad symbols.... the usual message that appears when you need to have -fPIC
19:50 < _Ragnar_> was the error
19:50 < rxr> -fPIC is for position independant code, something you do not have with shared libraries
19:50 < rxr> it just makes your static dietlibc binaries fatter and slower
19:50 < rxr> especially on x86 where you have on register less in the PIC case ...
19:51 < rxr> !> /usr/dietlibc/lib-x86_64/dyn_start.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
19:51 < _Ragnar_> I don't see why o_o PIC tells the compiler to use relative jumps doesn't it?
19:51 < rxr> fPIC is far more than relative jumps
19:51 < rxr> I can reproduce this here, (I did not udpate udev on all my machines yet)
19:52 < rxr> I'll review later why this happens at all
19:52 < _Ragnar_> duh huh :p
19:52 < rxr> /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-t2-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-t2-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/dietlibc/lib-x86_64/dyn
19:52 < rxr> _start.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `_fini' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
19:52 < rxr> -fPIC
19:52 < rxr> /usr/dietlibc/lib-x86_64/dyn_start.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
19:54 < rxr> err
19:54 < rxr> hell freezes over
19:54 < _Ragnar_> *lol*
19:54 < rxr> this is because the udev people use ld for linking and thus the udev helpers are tried to be linked dynamically ...
19:55 < rxr> this is not intended and can of course not work ...
19:55 < _Ragnar_> why does it work with the -fPIC then?
19:59 < rxr> ld then the relocaton format matches and ld links it together
19:59 < rxr> whether the helpers actually work then is another matter
20:02 < rxr> oh
20:02 < rxr> udev even tries to build a dnamilc volumeid library ...
20:02 < _Ragnar_> btw the -fPIC makes libc 26k bigger
20:04 < rxr> 26k too much :-)
20:05 < _Ragnar_> :P
20:05 < _Ragnar_> what should it be using instead of ld?
20:06 < rxr> gcc
20:06 < rxr> then our wrapper also passed -static automagically
20:06 < rxr> but the problem is also another
20:06 < _Ragnar_> ah
20:06 < rxr> udev explictly wants to buidl a .so
20:06 < rxr> it has a VOLUME_ID_STATIC in the submakefile
20:06 < _Ragnar_> o_o
20:07 < rxr> but the top one does not pass it down
20:07 < rxr> and explicitly passing it down did not yet help
20:07 * rxr still on that issue
20:07 < _Ragnar_> ok
20:07 < rxr> linking with ld is long "out"
20:08 < rxr> gcc does the "right things (tm)"
20:08 < rxr> rule of thumb is to call ld only if you have to and know what you do
20:12 < rxr> damn junk makefile crack
20:12 * rxr patching the offending line away now :-)
20:12 < _Ragnar_> new project: exactmake? :)
20:15 < rxr> well - I already have nice non-recursive makefiles
20:15 < rxr> stuff like macosd, exact-audio, exact-image, ... are using it
20:15 < rxr> even intern projects at the University of Saarbruecken :-)
20:15 < rxr> it even has a configure replacement
20:16 < rxr> the makefile system is modelled after recursive makefiles considered harmful and the reloaded paper
20:16 < rxr> I had to do that because GNU autoconf and automake and libtool made me thick
20:16 < rxr> http://www.exactcode.de/oss/exact-build/
20:19 < rxr> so, commit in a minute after the final testbuild
20:20 < _Ragnar_> ok

20:28 < rxr> moin misl
20:36 < CIA-9> rene * r20132 /trunk/package/ (base/dietlibc/dietlibc.desc filesystem/udev/no-so.patch): * reverted r20131, fixed udev to not try to build a shared library instead
20:40 < LMJ> moin moin
20:51 < _Ragnar_> ipv6 d/ls for kde? o_o
21:06 < _Ragnar_> hmmm what do I need to do to get t2 to be a ipv6 router?

21:59 < kensai> I believe it is a preatty much everything right?
22:01 < CIA-9> sebastian * r20133 /trunk/package/multimedia/cinelerra/world.patch: * fixed cinelerra to build with openexr 1.4, also cleaned up the patch a bit
22:01 < sepp> kde and some gnome, but not enough to use full gnome iirc
22:03 < sepp> some gnome libs for other packages
22:05 < sepp> and e17 :)
22:06 < kensai> I see
22:06 < kensai> I'm planning to build t2 as well
22:07 < sepp> :)
