Minimum linux kernel to ecompile?

Pierce · Post by **Pierce** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:49 am

I tried to switch from Pol-097-09-16 to Pol-97-10-29 today. But it seems that the new ecompile don't like the linux kernel i have

FATAL: kernel too old
Segmentation fault

What is the minimum kernel requirement for that?
Are the compiled ecl files the same under windows and linux?
The last time i tried that was under Pol094 i think. If i remember it right it worked, but i am not sure. Does anybody already tried that?

Edit:
I tried it with a export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.6 but that doesn't seem to work.

Nobody has an answer?

Sorry! I have an answer about one thing: the .ecl files are the same, provided they are compiled by an appropriate version of ecompile

Well Marilla, you didnt read the message. He upgraded the core and now hes getting a kernel error when trying to recompile and of course you have to recompile when upgrading.

The only person that probably has a solid answer on this is Shinigami since he compiles the linux version of POL.

Ummm... I very, very, very much did read his message. He asked two questions:

I can't answer the first. But I could answer the second.

OK sorry about that. I didnt read the entire message.

Thanks Marilla. That's a good news. So they keep that and i can compile it under windows same version. I surely could have tested it myself, but you now how players react when you do tests on live shards

Therefor the question

I definitely still recommend testing it yourself; Perhaps just create a simple .testme dot-command, compile it on Windows, and send the .ecl over. I would never recommend just overwriting important (in this case, perhaps irreplaceable) files just on the word of someone on the Internet - even if it's me!

@Marilla: I surely test that before using it

But nevertheless even if i do this via the windows core/ecompile. One question stays:

What is the minimum linux kernel for the new ecompile? I get the same error on 20070103 versions. I always like to test new cores but thats only possible if i know the requirements

Windows works fine, Linux not (in my case).

that's a good question... I tried to find the plaintext of error message inside used STLport and GCC source but didn't found'em... so I can't say what does this error provoke.

It is compiled on Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #4 SMP Thu Nov 9 18:34:05 CET 2006 i686 using STLport 5.1.0_RC3 and GCC version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r1).

Thanks Shini, that'll help me a lot.
