Did you see the line
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
It pretty much says it all. You should have /usr/bin/as installed,
but it says it can't execute that file (or that file is missing).

On Slack 12 the required package is binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1, you
should look for the right package for Slack 11.0 and install it.

I don't know if the Slack 12.0 slackbuild will work on Slack 11, but
you will need "as" anyway.

Thanks Jim!
I was also missing glibc and gcc... speaking of newbies.
Now, after a few steps forward, I'm stuck again with a series of

checking for gettimeofday... no
checking for ftime... no
checking for socketpair... no
checking for uname... no
checking for inet_aton... no
checking for strptime... no
checking for getrlimit... no
checking for strlcat... no
checking for strlcpy... no
checking for strtoull... no
checking for ftello... no
checking for getaddrinfo... no
checking for localtime_r... no
checking for gmtime_r... no
checking for memmem... no
checking for strtok_r... no

These are functions in some missing package, right?
I've tried googleing, but I can't figure out what package I'm
missing. :-(

I've also updated the config.log:
http://tinyurl.com/2p492k

Thanks again.

Packages! Your missing more than just one.

Stop Googeling and search /slackware/MANIFEST.bz2 for the files you are
missing.

Didn't know about slackware/MANIFEST.bz2 (never took the the time to
look what's inside, I think).

Very useful!

Allready had PACKAGES.TXT and FILE_LIST on Desktop, now I'vee added
MANIFEST too :-)

Knowing this could could have solved a similair problem I had just
starting Linux a year ago, trying to compile something.

Thanks!

I'm having a hard time understanding how to use /slackware/MANIFEST.bz2.

For example, "gettimeofday" is only in this line:
-rw... ...usr/man/man2/gettimeofday.2.gz

>From "man gettimeofday" i know that I should have "sys/time.h".
I have "/usr/include/sys/time.h" already.

How do I proceed from here?

Thanks for your patience!

And twice in kernel-source-2.6.21.5_smp-noarch-2.tgz :

usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S
usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/gettimeofday.S

Open with text editor, search, then search next occurance, untill no
more is found.

Uhmm, I can see that, but I'm running on a slack 11 with a 2.4.33.3
kernel. Does this mean that I cannot use that slackbuild?

Thanks

Wait!
I've tried the slackbuild for slack11
http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slac...tor.SlackBuild
but the errors are the same...
Now I'm really scratching my head!

You might try to take another way. Download libevent library for
Slackware 11 from linuxpackages.net, install it, and compile the
latest tor-0.1.2.17 from sources through
../configure; make; make install. That's what I was able to do for
Slackware 10.2, at least compilation had gone clearly. Slackbuilds
scripts for Slackware 12.0 running under Slackware 10.2 produce only
portion of hell. That error, compiler can't produce executable
comes from mtune=i686 flag, generated in some way by slackbuild
script.
Don't touch these glibc, assembler and other similar deals, this is
direct road into hell

I was considering the slackbuild way because I prefer to have a
"packaged" system, where I can easily add/remove packages. As far as
my (poor) understanding of slackware goes, if I follow the manual
procedure, pkgtool will lose track of things, right?

Thanks!

I really don't know that (not an expert), but is there a good reason
that you don't use the tor slackbuild for Slack 11?

But have you finished installing the packages it needs?

I have no other ideas, a beginner myself.

A little patience will give you anwsers from people much more expert.

Good luck!

Well, it says (among other things) you are missing dlopen().

To cut to the chase, why don't you make sure you installed EVERY
package in the development ("d") series. Presumably you decided to
install only some of the packages when you installed Slackware 11, and
this decision is causing you grief. I can only assume you would do
that because you are low on disk space. In any case, install all the
"d" packages, try again, and report back on how things went.

Right, 30MB free left. This machine has a CompactFlash instead of a

yes, you are right. To create package from slackbuild 12.0 script you
have to remove
-mcpu=i686 and -mtune=i686 from the lines in script

SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686"
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686"

at least I have created package under Slackware 10.2. Probably you
have also to install libevent library. More simple way is download
the binary package from linuxpackages.net for Slackware 11, but the
package is build for early version of tor. And of course, if you have
some packages missed on your box, the only way would be to install
them.

I realize you weren't use scripts from us, but that's addressed
in our FAQ. http://slackbuilds.org/faq/#older links to
http://slackbuilds.org/howto/versions/ which explains why you
had that problem.

RW

BINGO!

Thanks everybody for your kind patience!
Finally the slackbuild worked after installing
slackware/d/kernel-headers-2.4.33.3-i386-1.tgz

Somebody suggested also to remove
-mcpu=i686 and -mtune=i686 from the lines in the slackbuild script.
I didn't remove them, but the package was created and installed, and
everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks everybody!

That means you must have been building on at least gcc-3.4.x
(which might have been the case - I didn't follow the entire
thread, so my response was based only on the contents of the
previous post in it). If that's indeed the issue, then yeah,
your problem the entire time was the missing kernel headers.
Hint: read the slack-desc for that package :-)

The same problem for script from slackbuilds.org, under Slackware
10.2, shipped with gcc-3.3.6, it does not work. Yes, I can see the
explanation in FAQ, compiler does not understand what is -mtune, but
the problem with any FAQ and HOWTO is always the same, you can find
anything, but not exactly you are looking for ;-). For small programs
I still prefer old way, sources, configure, make, make install. I'm
sorry I introduced into thread some problems concerning Slackware
10.2 .

Best,
Bogdan
