Tiny Core 9.0 Alpha 1 Testing

<< < (4/6) > >>

andyj:
Would it be possible for the next alpha build to not to strip glibc? I'm trying to figure out why open-vm-tools builds on 8.2 with glibc 2.24 and not on 9.0 with glibc 2.26. Somewhere along the way libtool says it can't find the xdr* functions that are supposed to be in glibc. I compiled glibc myself but when I grafted it into the rootfs somebody (busybox?) complained about not being able to find libcrypt.

Juanito:
You can compile glibc, install it somewhere outside of the root filesystem, and make a tarball of it.

Next, boot tc, copy the tarball to / and untar it as root.

andyj:
I tried that first, but it didn't work like I hoped. How can I get it to boot with the un-stripped libraries?

Juanito:
Hmm - it works for me...

To boot with unstripped libs you’d need to replace the libs in roots64.gz

andyj:
I did that. That's how I got the "cant find libcrypt" error. I wouldn't have thought there was another step, but maybe there is something else that needs to be done to the rootfs before putting it back together? I've added plenty of stuff to the rootfs over the years so I am familiar with that process, but I've never swapped out core libraries before.
