The Hurd homepage is stagnant anyway, it needs some new information and Wiki will be good idea. I am in favor of that. I agree with Marcus though that GNU style and policies have changed by now. Hence our new web pages need to be designed according to the same. -- http://uttre.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/the-lost-love-of-mine/ -- http://uttre.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/the-lost-love-of-mine/

Hurd does not want to build
Hello, I have a problem building the Hurd. I checkout the sources using the command: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/hurd co hurd as it is said here: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hacking-guide/hhg.html. Then I do cd hurd/; make which dies with the following error message: ar: creating libshouldbeinlibc.a libshouldbeinlibc.a make[1]: libshouldbeinlibc.a: Command not found make[1]: *** [libshouldbeinlibc.a] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/hurd/libshouldbeinlibc' make: *** [libshouldbeinlibc] Error 2 The full build log is attached. I tried googling for this error, but nothing showed up. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?.. In summer, I tried the same thing and it worked differently, IIRC.

Is it something similar to Debian GNU/Hurd, with the difference that it will have portage, while Debian GNU/Hurd has apt? Sorry if the questions look senseless, I'm just trying to figure out what could be the goal of developing Gentoo GNU/Hurd. Regards, scolobb

Gentoo GNU/Hurd was/is a try at creating a Hurd System which uses the Gentoo package manager (portage) instead of Debian. Gentoo is source-based and extremely configurable (and it's the system I've been using for almost 5 years, now). > Sorry if the questions look senseless, I'm just trying to figure out > what could be the goal of developing Gentoo GNU/Hurd. Gentoo folks tend to like dabbling with the more complex stuff - mainly the current purpose is tinkering, I think, but on the long run Gentoo offers the advantage of a very easy to maintain package repository built around "ebuilds", which are a kind of meta-build-scripts which contain dependencies, build instructions and similar. And since ebuilds are very easy to maintain, it's far easier to keep a system current with them. Generally: If someone from the Gentoo community does a Gentoo GNU/Hurd, that's great (new contributors), but if someone would ask "should I develop a Gentoo GNU/Hurd or hack the Hurd itself", I'd currently say "hacking the Hurd seems to be priority at the moment to get the reference (debian) distribution usable for general desktop usage".

"grep RANLIB config.make" probably returns an empty "RANLIB="? Michael
