Alix-Board(x86) - kamikaze 8.09.1

Post by Hannibal »

I've tried to install gargoyle on my alix board but when i compile it by myself it fail several times.
Did gargoyle even run on x86 and kamikaze v8.09.1?

thanks

It isn't fine-tuned for x86 yet, so you might get some weird errors in the GUI, but it should compile. Can you post the errors you're seeing?

adding "expat" as dependency of mesa (package/Xorg/lib/mesa/Makefile) seems to fix that error

but...

next one is on the way

Code: Select all

checking for XSERVERCFLAGS... configure: error: Package requirements (randrproto >= 1.2 renderproto fixesproto >= 4.0 damageproto >= 1.1 xcmiscproto xextprot
o xproto >= 7.0.9 xtrans scrnsaverproto >= 1.1 bigreqsproto resourceproto fontsproto inputproto >= 1.4.4 kbproto >= 1.0.3 videoproto compositeproto >= 0.4 re
sourceproto xkbfile xfont xau fontenc pixman-1 >= 0.9.5) were not met:

No package 'compositeproto' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XSERVERCFLAGS_CFLAGS
and XSERVERCFLAGS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
why the hell the whole Xorg is compiled?

I added an x86-madwifi target to the svn, which built ok for me. I haven't actually installed it, but it seems to compile ok. Do be aware that (for now) it's a generic x86 target, not Alix, but that can be updated if this works ok.

Also, since I AM very interested in getting x86 working I just ordered a test system (Alix board with atheros mini-pci) so I can test and get everything working properly in the near future.

There are now x86-alix-madwifi and x86-generic-madwifi targets in the Gargoyld SVN. Yesterday I got the ALIX system I ordered (2d2 board), and tested the x86-alix-madwifi target, and it seems to be working. The only thing to be aware of is that wireless client bridging does not currently work on this system (though WDS works fine). The kernel version being used to compile for this system is not compatible with the patch needed for wireless client bridge (which works on the standard atheros target).

Hi Eric,

Do you think you could post the x86 packages?

Thanks!

Spencer
