Package: kernel-source-2.4.27 Version: 2.4.27-10 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello, Submitting as promised in #31763. The package depends on non-specific gcc. This is now gcc 4.0 by default. As discussed in #317637, build will fail unless gcc 3.2 is used. Possible solutions: 1) Specific dependency on gcc 3.2. The problem is that /usr/bin/gcc may well be linked to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0, as this is now required by quite a few programs. I know that I had to manually re-symlink /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-3 (not sure if it was 3.2, or 3.3 - sorry) in order to get it to compile. I know that there is some sort of variable I could pass when building, but I could not get that to work bor some reason. 2) Get it to build with 4.0 :-p HTH, George B. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27.20050707 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kernel-source-2.4.27 depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.2-8 high-quality block-sorting file co ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities Versions of packages kernel-source-2.4.27 recommends: ii gcc 4:4.0.0-2 The GNU C compiler ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii make 3.80-9 The GNU version of the "make" util -- no debconf information
