MiNTLib 0.59.1 Uploaded (2010-6-14)
New MiNTLib release - Installation
With MiNTLib 0.59.1, there are some packages that also need to be upgraded before and after installation.
The first package is MiNTBin.
Download mintbin-0.3-4.m68kmint.rpm and do:
rpm -Uvh mintbin-0.3-4.m68kmint.rpm
I believe all systems should have older revisions of this package by default.
Now, figure out which MiNTLib packages need to be upgraded on the system by doing:
rpm -qa | grep mintlib
This command will provide a list of currently installed mintlib packages. Download the appropriate updated packages from this list:
mintlib-0.59.1-1.m68kmint.rpm
mintlib-debug-0.59.1-1.m68kmint.rpm
mintlib-devel-0.59.1-1.m68kmint.rpm
mintlib-profile-0.59.1-1.m68kmint.rpm
And install them with:
rpm -Uvh mintlib*
Now, if a math library is installed, it must be updated as the system will now not have a math.h file. Do the following commands:
rpm -qa | grep pml
rpm -qa | grep fdlibm
A system should have one or the other (or none) but not both.
For PML, download and install pml-2.03-4.m68kmint.rpm
For FDLibM, download and install fdlibm-5.3-2.m68kmint.rpm
Again, for upgrade do either:
rpm -Uvh fdlibm-5.3-2.m68kmint.rpm
or
rpm -Uvh pml-2.03-4.m68kmint.rpm
