Ncurses is required because slackpkg uses tput and tput is not in aaa_elflibs.
I've been looking in slackpkg to try and figure out where libmpfr is required but I've not yet pinned it. It's possible that it's a nested dependency like libmpc.

Ok I pinned it:
On slackware 14.1 awk uses libmpfr while it's not required on 14.0 awk (I was looking on an older system that's why I missed it)
slackpkg uses awk

Oh .... I forgot to mention this too:
In the build_minirootfs.sh
a/eudev is going to be an issue unless you build from current
I added a/udev so that it should work on both.

Hi,

i have tried building the initial root fs by buildroot (on my fast host pc last night) - to get an clean "-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfpv3-d16" and it had also stopped on eudev on rhe first try's ...

the last i could come to, was trying to boot my new initial root and it stopped with "kernel to old" so i may try it tonight with an newer kernel ...

thats the answert to Stuart's "Have fun :-)" - yes i have it - lol

re Hi,

some hours later ...
maybe someone knows where this come from - any ideas are welcome ...

(buildroot compilation to pi2)
this time i changed to the original buildroot toolchain and try to compile the kernel also ..
.. i have used the kernell whitch i have comileld often in last time - native on pi2 and crosscompile with crosstool-NG 3.18.y (the last from pi's github - 3.18.16) ...

and while compiling with its own "buildroot cross tolchain" it sais something like this ...
arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.br_real: error: -mfloat-abi=soft and -mfloat-abi=hard may not be used together

and i can't find where the sh****it tool insert that wrong -mfloat-abi=soft ...

any - ideas ???

greetings

re: re: Hi,


and again i will try ...

i have found that my "target Optimization" have to be changed again ...

if one build with - VFP - the kernel (here 3.18.y till today ..) insert this -mfloat-abi=soft
so i changed the optimization to -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a15.cortex-a7 - hope that helps ...

god night

re: re: re: hi again,

so i have to give up for now - no time left ...
i have to earn money again to finance my "slackware hobby" again ...

at this moment i ended up with not beeing able to compile my own hard float gcc for the pi2 ...
everything else i have done so far - running initial boot fs with hard float but ...

maybe next time, in summer - when i will have my next "slack holliday" - lol

need some more days - not only 2weeks ...

gretings to all slackers - and thanks for your work p.v !! , louigi600, drmozes, and the rest, where i get my infos from .. if i got more time, i will do my own blog with some instructuns ..
