maximilln's Journal: Moving sideways in the world

It'll be happy hour at 5 pm.

After happy hour I will go home and bludgeon freetype 2.1.7 with a really big stick. I could use freetype 2.1.5 but I think I've figured out how to properly include ft2build.h so that xft will properly build the X FreeType backend needed by pango (needed by gtk+). Then I will bludgeon xft 2.1.2. Then I will bludgeon pango 1.4.0. The I will bludgeon atk, and expat, and libIDL, and glib and, once all the preliminary bludgeoning is done, then I will bludgeon gtk+ and mozilla. That's just on elemental.

While I am bludgeoning all of these things on elemental I will bludgeon Xf86 CVS 26-Mar-04 on g0lem. There's nothing more fulfilling than waiting for make World on a P2-400 only to have make install puke off with "libX11.so.2.6: unexpected end of file". After that I will repeat the bludgeoning from elemental on g0lem. After that bludgeoning then I will bludgeon g0lem until it tells me why there is no /proc/bus/usb even after usbcore.o and uhci.o have been modprobed. Then I will bludgeon g0lem to find out why net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 when /etc/sysctl.conf explicitly sets it to 1. Then I will bludgeon g0lem into properly setting up /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifup-ath0 so that my wireless network card can be brought up and down without manually setting it up with iwconfig.

Once the bludgeoning has stopped and both machines seem to be properly bludgeoned then I will cd /mnt/hda4 && rm -rf * on both of them. I will update my bash scripts, check the kernel configs, and start everything over from scratch.

If the bludgeoning has been completed successfully I should have fully functional and capable LFS systems on hda4 on both elemental and g0lem before going to sleep Sunday night.

Stop snickering. It could happen.
