RPM/YUM question - Latest Libc - GCC
« on: January 15, 2015, 04:29:05 pm »
Hi

I was trying StarFighter that was recently ported.

I noticed it asked for the following requirements:
- ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc4core-1_2_2.wpi (*.dll)
- ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.6-csd6.zip (*.dll)
- http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/SDL-1.2.15-20140930.zip (*.dll)
- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76425158/gcc-4.9.2-os2-20141102.zip (gcc492.dll, included)

So I noticed I was missing libc066.dll from libc-0.6.6-csd6.zip (10/26/2014). Since I'm using RPM/YUM I tried to installed that way, but I can not find it.

Is this package missing on netlabs RPM server? Do you know which commands do you use to know to which RPM server is your RPM/YUM trying to connect?

Libc066 is in the experimental repository. To use that, create a file

x:\etc\yum\repos.d\netlabs-exp.repo

with content:

[netlabs-exp]
name=Netlabs experimental repository $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1

  You could also just type: YUM INSTALL NETLABS-EXP

You must have downloaded a different libc-0.6.6+-csd6.zip from the one I downloaded because I have it in my download.

Thanks

"yum install netlabs-exp" (lower case) worked fine for me.

It installed the Netlabs experimental repository. On the next "yum update" it showed me the experimental updated, included libc 0.6.6.
