Scratchbox 0.9.8 "Egypt"

See the Installing Scratchbox document for installation instructions.

Version 0.9.8.2 release notes

2004-09-13

See the bottom of this page for a list of known bugs!

1. Upgrade instructions

  • If you are not installing from scratch, you need to run the following commands (after installing the new version):

    # /scratchbox/compilers/bin/wrapper_links remove
    # /scratchbox/compilers/bin/wrapper_links create

    This applies also to Debian and RPM packages because their post-install scripts are missing this.

  • Since the glibc toolchain was upgraded, you need to create new targets if your old ones were using that toolchain. (You could also hack the target's config file and re-run sbox-config -cc, but that is not recommended...)

2. Changes from 0.9.8.1

  • glibc toolchain upgraded

  • /dev/pts is available inside Scratchbox (bug 111)

  • CPU-transparency works even if PATH and/or HOME are overridden (bug 130)

  • sbrsh is posixly correct (bug 135)

  • Fixed tetex (bug 138)

  • Fixed Perl's MakeMaker (bug 141)

  • Subversion is now really included...

  • gdb is available as a host tool in addition to the gdbserver target binary

(See the ChangeLog for technical details.)

Version 0.9.8.1 release notes

2004-08-31

  • Toolchain and libtool fixes

  • Target binaries of gdbserver provided

  • Added Subversion to host tools

(See the ChangeLog for technical details.)

Version 0.9.8 release notes

2004-06-15

If you already have a 0.9.8 pre-release installed from Debian packages, you may have problems upgrading to 0.9.8—dpkg considers 0.9.8 an older version than for example 0.9.8-rc5. If apt-get won't upgrade your packages, remove the old ones first or install the packages "by hand" with dpkg.

1. Changes from 0.9.7

  • QEMU support

  • Improved binary redirection

  • Autotools work better

  • Experimental PowerPC toolchain

  • Split into multiple (optional) packages

  • Debian and RPM packages available

(See the ChangeLog for technical details.)
