To be fair, he could simply pay 5 bucks for a key and switch to Windows 10 or 11. Linux should be something people choose to try firsthand for a while before moving on.
In C exit codes are numbers, in the Makefile it says line n° 2014, error 2 probably has some kind of special meaning, you could take a look and search from there.
Look at the build output for the error. Run the build again with “-j1” if neccessary.
Also, try searching the web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems without being spoon-fed then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.
Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.
This is a 100% free and extremely complex piece of technology built by very smart people, so chances are that he is the problem and not the kernel.
Always be nice, even if the product is the problem. Specially when it is given to you for free.
People are answering to him with the same attitude he used to ask for help. You get what you give.
Imagine you clean your friend’s house for free because you’re a good friend. 2 hours later he calls you and says “What the fuck am I supposed to do with the shoes you forgot to pick from the living room?”.
Can you even call that asking for help? He’s clearly just bitching.
Did you not read his post? He is absolutely taking a shit on all the engineers. You can ask for help without cursing at and insulting the work of the engineers.
Just out of curiosity I just started building the Linux kernel to see what my system does, but the CPU isn’t going over 10% load and is hovering around 40 degrees. I just ran make without any parameters, is there a way to get it to use more than a single cpu core at a time?
You don’t compile everything from source in Void. Most popular packages are prebuilt and available in the default repo, even some proprietary ones (if the license allows redistribution).
Well, maybe not huge, but fairly big, yes. It’s a close second to Arch and the only distro that’s not systemd based that has that ammount of packages, whether it be prebuilt or not.
The scripting system and xtools is what makes it so appealing. You could litelarly have a working template for xbps-src in hours (at worst). And then you just run ./xbps-src pkg whatever and that’s that, you can install your package on your system, share the template with the world, whatever you like.
But, they can be somewhat strict. They have their own rules and if the package doesn’t follow the guidelines, it won’t get accepted (most probably). Still, you can make your own repo with the template.
