Hi, Thanks for your reply. I will start looking into the file system translator site and also the select() function. >>By the way, I notice your reply is private. Was this intended? If you're more confortable with private conversation for now it's fine with me, but keep in mind I might be less available than the list as a whole. OTOH if this was an oversight, feel free to forward both our emails to the list. No.It was not intended.It was by mistake..Sorry for that. 2012/2/9 Jérémie Koenig > Hello again, > > 2012/2/8 shaunak saha : > > I m interested to work on filesystem, but i m free to work on any area . > I > > don't have much idea about which areas you need more contribution.

Re: Hi
Hi All, Need help in building hurd. I followed the instruction here http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building.html to build from source followint the section "Building, but not the Debian Way". I m using ubuntu lucid and getting this error in "make" make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shaunak/hurd/hurd/libshouldbeinlibc' make: *** [libshouldbeinlibc] Error 2 I have build gnumach and mig before building hurd. What i m missing here?

Re: Hi
Hi Jeremie, Thanks for your reply. yeah.I saw this.I was also running hurd on qemu but thought that for contributing to hurd i need to compile from source code.So was trying that. If i make some some changes in hurd or gnumach code and want it to build and run then what to do?Don't i need to build the code that time?

Re: Hi
I have a hurd build in qemu existing hurd environment.But thought of trying to cross compile it in ubuntu >Also, please indicate exactly what source you are using: did you 'git >clone' or used the Debian package?

Re: Hi
Hi Jeremie, Sorry for late reply.Was busy with some paid work. I was working on that SA_SIGINFO work. Modifying Hurd interface definitions now. But got into one problem with GNU libc . Previously i didnt downloaded and build the glibc code. But now for the work i need to. i found the downloading the code here " http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/source_repositories/glibc.html";. Inside hurd i was not able to install git. I get this error when running "apt-get install git-core". Err http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ sid/main git-man all 1:1.7.9-1 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://cdn.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/git/git-man_1.7.9-1_all.deb 404 Not Found. Seems to be some missing package in my repo list.Please help. Sorry to ask this simple thing, maybe i m not able to do some very basic thing.

Network not working in qemu hurd
Hi All, Suddenly from today netoworking is not workinh in my existing hurd system inside qemu. I tried #ettrans -afgp /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a 10.0.2.15 -g 10.0.2.2 -m 255.255.255.0 # echo "nameserver 10.0.2.3" > /etc/resolv.conf But still no luck.Not able to do apt-get. And when i did (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/qemu/networking.html) settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -a 10.0.2.15 -g 10.0.2.2 -m 255.255.255.0 I got the error pfinet:No default interface settrans:/hurd/pfinet :Translator died Please help. Regards, Shaunak
Re: Network not working in qemu hurd
Hi all, Thanks for your response. devprobe eth0 works well. gnumach is able to see eth0. and runnimg qemu like this qemu -m 1024 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -hda debian-hurd-20111214.img But today networking started to work in qemu:). Though it solves my problem but would be great if i can know why it was not working earlier.Any pointers how can i find that?
