Architectures/MIPS/BuildIssues

Java issue

Some packages can't be built with java support as we don't have OpenJDK yet

• avahi
• bison
• ca-certificates
• ecj: bootstrap
• gettext
• graphviz
• java-1.5.0-gcj: need bootstrap = 1
• setools
• tetex-tex4ht
• tzdata

MONO issue

Some packages can't be build with MONO support as we don't have MONO binaries yet

• avahi
• gmime

MIPS specific patches needed

• binutils: needs MIPS support code
• device-mapper-multipath: needs MIPS support code in kpartx header file
• filesystem: we have /lib32 and /usr/lib32 in N32 systems
• gc: libatomic_ops included in gc needs MIPS support code
• gdb: needs MIPS support code
• gmp: needs ABI patch
• gnupg: needs MIPS support code
• guile: needs MIPS support code
• libaio: needs MIPS support code
• libatomic_ops: needs MIPS support code
• libgcrypt: needs MIPS support code
• mesa: no WMB defined for MIPS
• numpy: no MIPS CPU defined in GA version
• openssl: needs MIPS support code
• mpfr: needs MIPS support code
• redhat-rpm-config: support of mips architecture in rpmrc added
• rpm: support of mips architecture in rpmrc added
• systemtap: needs MIPS support code
• tcp_wrapper: weak_symbol compile error, need #include <tcpd.h>

Compile time / build parameter issue

• allegro: remove timidity++-patches dependency, timidity++-patches can't be built in MIPS
• bash: unknown issue in %check step, skipped
• curl: disable valgrind
• elfutils: tests always fail. disable test
• gcc: build without cloog, ppl, multilib
• glibc: consider mips64el architecture as well
• pciutils: consider mips64el architecture as well
• ppp: /lib32 and /usr/lib32 should not be used, we only have one ABI
• pstoedit: disable libEMF
• vala: disable devhelp

Disabling -Werror needed (compiler issue?)

• gnome-power-manager
• metacity

F12 GA version not working, need update, not MIPS specific

• clutter-gtk: missing dependencies on gir-repository-devel
• gobject-introspection: compile option issue, fixed in F12 update RPMs
