Slackware from Scratch and X11

nobodino · 12-03-2021, 12:36 PM

After updating all the week long, the way to build SFS, I finally got it. Those who looked at SFS 2 weeks ago would hardly recognize all the changes made.

Regression test up to "Wed Dec 1 19:44:13 UTC 2021" (x86_64 version)

Everything builds fine.

With a new modular way to build SFS,much smarter, more integrated in the Slackware tree.
The sfsbuild build script reduced it's size from 3816 lines to 1199 lines.

We should be close now to the Slackware-15.0 release, maybe some point release for the kernel to stabilize.

It will be a great release.

The current version is rock stable, and should be either the 15.0 stable version.

Regression test up to "Sat Dec 11 20:02:51 UTC 2021" (x86_64 version)

Everything builds fine, except:

- SDL2 (patch provided)
- kmymoney (patch provided)
- firefox (due to new rust)
- thunderbird (due to new rust)

New progress has been made on the modularity side, the sfsbuild build script reduced it's size from 1199 lines to 206 lines.
Two weeks ago it was 3816 lines. It will be difficult to reduce more the size of this script.

Mr Ponce found a solution to build firefox and thunderbird, the culprit was wayland-1.20.0 and not the new rust-1.57.0.

Regression test up to "Fri Jan 7 06:03:52 UTC 2022" (x86 version)

Everything builds fine, except:
- elilo: no patch available
- svgalib: chicken and egg problem with aaa_libraries
- fcitx: patch provided by Mr Ponce
- fcitx-configtool: patch provided by Mr Ponce
- gcc-gnat: gnat-gpl-2014-x86-linux-bin.tar.gz is too old to build gcc-11.2.0 (I've made some tests, only gcc =< 9.4.0 can build gcc-gnat)

Not so bad.

Code:

For the first time ever we have included a "make_world.sh" script that allows
automatically rebuilding the entire operating system from source. We also
made it a priority throughout the development cycle to ensure that nothing
failed to build. All the sources have been tested and found to build
properly. Special thanks to nobodino for spearheading this effort.

Merci à toi l'ami ;-)

Thanks to all who appreciate the work done, and especially to PV.
I'll make a special build for this official release and tag it v15.0
