Hi Ulrich,
As a software developer, I have in the past found it most advantageous to have a
compiled-from-source library. If for instance a program failed in libc somewhere
(because it had called a function with bad arguments), a backtrace would show
the offending arguments immediately. I have held this to be one of the great
strengths of Open Source and have advocated the superiority of a Linux / GNU
debug environment on that basis.
The Linux folks publish a checklist of build tool minimum revisions including in
some cases the reccomended ones: I think it would be very helpful if you could
do something similar. For instance, I have (copyright notices ommitted):-
00:25:20$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.1
00:26:01$ make --version
GNU Make 3.80
00:26:08$ ld -v
GNU ld version 2.15
00:26:25$ sed --version
GNU sed version 3.02
00:27:26$ runtest --version
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
Expect version is 5.38.0
Tcl version is 8.4
Framework version is 1.4.4
00:31:32$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
00:33:21$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9
I compiled my way through the transitions from a.out to elf, and from glibc5 to
glibc6, but 2.2.x to 2.3.x has proved more awkward than either of those. Clearly
I am missing "the right tools and environment" and I would dearly like to know
what they are.
Rgds ... Duncan.
