[Clfs-dev] CLFS 2.1.0 Development

[William Harrington]

Greetings,

I have setup the dev book for development for the cross-lfs 2.1.0 book.

Major updates will be for the toolchain.

I have tried gcc 4.8 with graphite with latest cloog-isl and it was  
causing segfaults in ncurses, readline and vim and some others. Vim  
would act weird while editing files cause of it and would eventually  
segfault.

I went back to gcc 4.7.3 with graphite with latest cloog-isl and it  
was no problem. I do not know if we want to go with gcc 4.8, yet. I do  
not know what could be causing issues while using the graphite  
optimizations when using them during the build.

Because of changes in automake 1.13, some packages need to be edited  
and in cblfs, too. I don't know if we want to wait until devs update  
their source to fix the issue or we stick with our current version of  
automake.

Latest texinfo has some issues with packages as of now until devs fix  
them.

The idea is to not add extra commands to the book which will  
eventually be removed later on. I say we concentrate on the toolchain  
and update packages which will require a bunch of edits in the book  
right now.

Any input?

Since we do provide graphite as part of the toolchain, everyone should  
be testing their builds with the graphite options and making sure  
everything works:

-floop-block -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -fgraphite-identity - 
floop-parallelize-all

Sincerely,

William Harrington
