Description Albert Strasheim 2005-08-31 17:31:26 UTC

Description of problem:

If dietlibc is installed, Kadischi's build defaults to using it.

AC_PATH_PROG(DIET, diet, no)
AM_CONDITIONAL(USE_DIET, [test "x$DIET" != xno])

This is pretty annoying. It might be preferable if the use of dietlibc was only
enabled by passing the --enable-dietlibc flag to configure.

Also, when building against dietlibc, Kadischi tries to link against a library
called pci_loader which I can't anywhere.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dietlibc.
2. Try to build Kadischi.
3.
  
Actual results:

Build fails.

Expected results:

Build should succeed. Preferably, build should default to not using dietlibc.

Comment 1 Jasper O. Hartline 2005-09-20 10:46:06 UTC

To fix this small hurdle, which may or may not be suggested in the near future,
rename /usr/bin/diet to say /usr/bin/temp-diet.

Then run the ./configure.
Since the ./cinfigure script queries specific binaries for determination of a
package being installed, you can overcome this like above. It would be different
if the script checked the rpmdb for the package, and still failed.

When you finish building and installing kadischi, rename temp-diet back to diet.
It hasn't moved an inch.

Comment 2 Christian Iseli 2007-01-19 07:22:33 UTC

This bug hasn't been updated in a long time and targets FE devel.
Could you please check that it still occurs with current FE devel and update
accordingly ?

Thanks.

Comment 3 Jasper O. Hartline 2007-04-23 11:54:56 UTC

We don't use ditlibc anymore.

Comment 4 Chitlesh GOORAH 2007-07-07 22:22:46 UTC

Kadischi's development has stalled for a long time now.
There is no one to lead this project.

I'm therefore closing all open bugs related to kadischi as WONTFIX.

However I recommend you do try "revisor" to create your custom spins.
On Fedora 7, you can install revisor with:

yum install revisor

as root.

Comment 5 Jasper O'neal Hartline 2019-03-21 06:32:47 UTC

Kadischi was a good little tool.
IT was Anaconda that was failing and ding wonky shit from then on..
Kadischi really was so simple written in Perl Python bash and C.
scanswap and switch_root were in C, the post instaklation scripts were in Perl and bash.

Kadischi proper was written in Python.

You had ./configure make and make install of course using m4a and automake autoconf. autotools... but thats nither here nor there.

I dug deep into kadischi and fixed several things which were headed in the wrong direction... like the Over 4GB LiveDVD images being corrupted from Phillip Lougher's squashfs 4.0.0 using memcpy() instead of it using what it should be doing is memmove() instead so that got fixed you couldn't make DVD Live Images cause they were corrupted!!!!
