new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed -solved-
 

Accidentally I updated a FreeBSD system using the 96.43 legacy driver to FreeBSD-8.0.

I needed resync src tree und kernel.
Removing Linux support und the spurious version exclude for >8 did the work.
96.43.13 does compile under 8.0.

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

What's the correct procedure to get 96.43 to compile under FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE or 9.0-CURRENT? This is where it errors:

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

I am not sure, but this may have been the type of error, why I disabled Linux support. in nv-freebsd.h. You have to disable going into the linux directories from the Makefile, too.

You mentioned 96.43.14. I looked into the ftp server and found 96.43.16, too, there. But both tar.gz's could be extracted by FreeBSD tar. What is happening there?

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

96.43.14 is the latest official since I upgraded from 6.0-CURRENT November 2004 to the February 1, 2010 9.0-CURRENT and got ports/x11/nvidia-driver compiled and installed except it was the wrong version and it told me to goto http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html to get the 96.43.xx driver which is what I did. What exactly did you disable in nv-freebsd.h or how exactly is it done?

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

Thanks. The file I got is good now.

The diff is:

diff NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-96.43.14/src/nv-freebsd.h NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-96.43.13/src/nv-freebsd.h
24,26d23
< #if __FreeBSD_version >= 800000
< #error This driver does not support FreeBSD 8.x/-CURRENT!
< #endif
173c170
< #define NV_SUPPORT_LINUX_COMPAT
---
> #undef NV_SUPPORT_LINUX_COMPAT

I don't have access to this machine now. On monday I shall try .14 version.

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

I tried that but still breaks for me at the same exact spot. I think there is a specific reason to have that line of not supporting 8.x/-CURRENT. 96.43.13 is actually a pre-release if you look at the threads earlier on this forum.

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

Actually it looks still easier than I thought: The lines 20 and 132 do contain different declarations for nvidia_dev_mmap. The first contains keyword "static", the second not. Did you try to insert "static" in line 132? Or removing the keyword in 20? Perhaps there are compilers which would tolerate the difference, and others don't.

Re: new legacy releases for FreeBSD-8.0 needed
 

No because I didn't want to mess up too much of the original code and forgot what I did. Anyways, problem has already been fixed in the Makefile earlier today in the ports tree so /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-96 compiles without issues. There is no need to disable the linux compat either:
