[mdlug] Bringing up Linux with Suckless Init plus daemontools-encore

[JeremyBekka C]

Hey Steve,

I have been working on installing daemontools but am having troubles. When
I try and run the make command from within the daemontools directory I get
the following error. I included some extra information for context.

./compile svscan.c
./load svscan unix.a byte.a
cat warn-auto.sh svscanboot.sh > svscanboot
chmod 755 svscanboot
./compile svstat.c

I have also tried the directions given from his website (
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/install.html) on how to install daemontools and
get another error as well. That error is as follows:

stralloc_pend.o strerr_die.o strerr_sys.o subgetopt.o wait_nohang.o \
wait_pid.o
./load envdir unix.a byte.a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-

/lib64/libc.so.6: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:111: recipe for target 'envdir' failed
make: *** [envdir] Error 1


 I think I am following all the directions correctly but cannot figure out
what is going on. Could this be a problem with virtualbox and should I try
Qemu?


Also, regarding Gentoo, I actually had it running on my laptop before I
installed Manjaro OpenRC. Gentoo was a lot of work to install but I did
learn a lot from that process. I took the manual kernel configuration route
in order to learn a little more about the kernel. I liked Gentoo, but I did
get a little annoyed with how slow it was to install software and to update
the system. It would take me 24hrs to do a full system update unless I held
back Libreoffice from being upgraded also. Even then it would take a few
hours.

Thanks,

Jeremy
