sysvinit patch and compiling problem

wargus · 04-27-2011, 06:54 PM

I've tried to recompile sysvinit from -current. I found following 2 problems

In the slackbuild from -current sources, after this line

Code:

if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then

a patch should be applied, but looks as it doesn't since there is a "typo"

Code:

zcat $CWD/sysvinit-2.86-timeval.diff.gz | patch -p1 -E --verbose --backup --suffix=.orig || exit 1
fi

gzip: /root/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86-timeval.diff.gz: No such file or directory
Hmm...  I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.

since the patch is named

Code:

sysvinit-2.86-timeval.patch.gz

Further I cannot run the sysvinit.Slackbuild, it terminates with this error:

Code:

...
gcc -Wall -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D_GNU_SOURCE   -c -o sulogin.o sulogin.c
gcc -s  -o sulogin sulogin.o
sulogin.o: In function `main':
sulogin.c:(.text+0xa32): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sulogin] Error 1

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help

Sysvinit is the same in 13.1 and -current.

Why are you trying to rebuild the package?

Tried to recompile several packages with canaries and relro. After it didn't work with sysvinit, I tried to simply recompile the original to find out if it's related on these options but didn't even work with the original.

It was more out of curiosity if its possible to add these options (-fstack-protector-all, -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now) to it. Now I wonder if I would need to tweak the toolchain to be able to compile the original.
