Install help for Kolab newbie

Wed Dec 5 18:08:14 CET 2007

some idea :

- 1 - in your first email, I read :

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /kolab/RPM/TMP/rpm-tmp.49252 (%build)

Did you look at config.log ?

- 2 -  you can try to find debian source files for gcc-4.0.2 or close,
compile it
and compare the log and maybe the result

- 3 - You could try to get the last binutils, gcc, and maybe openpkg
and openpkg-tools
package from from openpkg site, integrate them in your kolab build
system and make a try.
To rebuild the 00INDEX.rdf make a search on the list archive, maybe
the devel one for one of one of my post.

Regards.
