Create rejection file from dry runs?

[iPodFoo]

This is what debian says when I 'make':

Makefile:11: Consider upgrading to GNU make 3.81+ for optimum build performance

Then it continues as normal.

I didnt get that before I ran the rockboxdev.sh script.


If its of any use, I typed the following to get more detail:

I ran gcc -v and have gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13).

$ m68k-elf-gcc --version gives m68k-elf-gcc (GCC) 3.4.6

$ arm-elf-gcc --version gives arm-elf-gcc (GCC) 4.0.2

Notice that it says consider upgrading GNU make.

NOWHERE does it say upgrading GCC. And, as I said, if you read my discussion, that is to be expected. The debian image only comes with make 3.80 anyway. The fact that you first noticed it after running the .sh is either coincidence or due to the fact that you hadn't compiled a new enough copy of the source prior to running it to get the message.

[iPodFoo]

Fair enough. I assumed gnu, gcc, make was all interlinked someway.

Ill put it down to coincidence for the update message!

So Llorean, do I delete the vmware folder which has a .nvram, .vmx and a couple of .vmdk files in?

[Llorean]

Yes.

[iPodFoo]

Thanks.

Do appreciate it.

It seems you can create rejection files from dry runs like this :

Code: [Select]

patch -p0 --dry-run --global-reject-file=foo.rej < path-to-your-diffI haven't tried it personally (found it here)

[iPodFoo]

Hmm.

Looked at it and tried it out but it returns with:

patch: unrecognized option `--global-reject=foo.rej'
patch: Try `patch --help' for more information.

So I looked at help and there was an option called --reject-file, so I used that like so:

patch -p0 --dry-run --reject-file=foo.rej < path-to-your-diff

But no file gets created.  

[NicolasP]

looks to me like you did

patch -p0 --dry-run --global-reject=foo.rej < path-to-your-diff

and not

patch -p0 --dry-run --global-reject-file=foo.rej < path-to-your-diff

[iPodFoo]

sorry. forgot to type the "file" bit. It doesnt change anything though. Still doesnt recognise the command.

sorry. forgot to type the "file" bit. It doesnt change anything though. Still doesnt recognise the command.

I can confirm that the --global-reject-file=foo.rej option does not work for me, either, under the VMware environment.

[NicolasP]

from the PATCH manpage :

--global-reject-file=rejectfile
Put all rejects into rejectfile instead of creating separate reject files for all files that have rejects. The rejectfile will contain headers that identify which file each reject refers to. Note that the global reject file is created even if --dry-run is specified (while non-global reject files will only be created without --dry-run).

I tried it on my system and it did work. I'm on kubuntu and my 'patch' version is 2.5.9.

[iPodFoo]

I have patch version 2.5.9 for debian.

I asked the guy from that website how he has that working, he said:

IU found the solution: the --global-reject-file is a Debian patch
addition. Sorry for this.

I assume you'd have to patch debian itself with a patch that does the global-reject-file command?

Is is possible to update debian?
