00:01.04 | chacko | eno, bye. talk to you later |
00:01.12 | scant | eno: any ideas? |
00:02.01 | eno | scant: one second |
00:06.15 | eno | i'm launching a distcc native build of faad2 right now |
00:11.07 | scant | eno: cool |
00:11.07 | scant | eno: can you help me while you are doing that? |
00:11.07 | eno | first i got a problem of not finding aclocal, i try to remember why i have the autoreconf there |
00:12.02 | eno | ah, actually the faad2 package does not come with configure |
00:12.03 | scant | eno: i fixed that issue |
00:12.19 | eno | by using aclocal-1.10 |
00:12.23 | scant | yes |
00:14.06 | eno | we have a problem that the autotool versions of cross and native build do not match exactly |
00:15.18 | scant | i've noticed |
00:16.26 | eno | do you have this error message? |
00:16.29 | eno | Can't exec "automake": No such file or directory |
00:17.10 | scant | ACLOCAL="aclocal-1.10 -I $(STAGING_DIR)/opt/share/aclocal" AUTOMAKE=automake-1.10 \ |
00:18.49 | scant | i got this error: "configure: error: conditional "HAVE_BMP" was never defined." |
00:18.59 | eno | it's possible faad2 is not compatible with the new autotool |
00:19.13 | scant | and used this line to get rid of the above error: sed -i '/E_B/d' configure.in; \ |
00:19.50 | scant | then i get this error: config.status: error: cannot find input file: plugins/Makefile.in |
00:19.59 | scant | and i don't know how to fix this one |
00:21.12 | eno | if faad2 is ONLY compatible with the old autotool, then this path requires lot of work |
00:22.02 | eno | it may even be easier if you replace autotools with old versions |
00:22.06 | scant | someone said to just create the Makefile.in file and it will go |
00:22.18 | scant | i'm trying that now |
00:22.32 | scant | it didn't work |
00:22.56 | scant | how do i replace? |
00:23.17 | eno | and may i ask why do you need to build faad2 in the first place? any problem with the binary in the feed? |
00:24.24 | eno | it's like "ipkg remove automake"; manually download automake-1.9...ipk from feed; "ipkg install automake_1.9...ipk" |
00:26.37 | eno | with all the effort, you might as well setup a cross build environment and tackle any runtime problem |
00:26.56 | scant | i was trying to compile myself |
00:27.26 | scant | i don't have a distro to use, can you reccomend one that works well in a vm? |
00:27.56 | eno | i'm running ubuntu 6.10 under vmware server |
00:28.09 | eno | works pretty well |
00:28.37 | eno | i just installed the server version, which is quite small |
00:29.05 | scant | cool |

17:04.04 | hillct | will do again. tried. didn't get much |
17:05.53 | mwester-laptop | What I was able to find informed me that it originated from the Perl bootstrap process; has the perl language but can't interact much with the OS. |
17:08.09 | hillct | ah |
17:08.17 | hillct | I was basing my thinking on this http://slugbug.nslu2-linux.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=329 |
17:08.28 | hillct | which suggests they're basically the same thing |
17:08.34 | hillct | unless I misunderstood |
17:10.38 | mwester-laptop | My understanding is that the process of building perl involves building microperl, which is then used to construct the full Perl version. Sort of like how libc and gcc are iteratively built up when building a toolchain. |

18:53.34 | mwester | I think you can just rename the .ipk to .deb and perhaps it can be read. But that's only a small part of the solution, if that even works. |
18:53.42 | jason0_ | mwester: good point. Can't seem to find php-fcgi source to try and compile |

18:54.23 | joshin | So from the warning message I just saw, is "slugosbe" (or *le) replacing "openslug" for builds? |
18:55.28 | mwester | PHP -- seems to be a constant source of trouble for folks. IMO, some users of PHP need to get together, decide on a set of features and tools required, and set up a meta-package of some sort -- in order to ensure that the feeds always contain compatible versions of PHP, Apache, etc. :D |
18:57.14 | mwester | joshin: there was some thought of normalizing the names before the next release of slugos; in particular it might reduce some confusion if we got rid of "debianslug". |
18:57.51 | joshin | Make sense. |

19:02.38 | VoodooZ | but being a weirdo (using it for a robotic project) my needs are quite special |
19:03.08 | VoodooZ | yeah, 32 is not much after loading a few modules and progs. |
19:03.34 | VoodooZ | But for me it's still a lot as I'm used to programming on AVRs/PICs w/ 2-4K ram! :) |
19:05.29 | joshin | mwester: That is the hardware the NSLU should have. |
19:06.31 | VoodooZ | I require low power for mobile robotics so I like to keep hardware to a minimum, Flash based and webcam. |
19:06.31 | mwester | But then it would be a dsmg600, not an nslu2 ;) |

19:07.34 | mwester | s/it/it is/ |
19:07.48 | mwester | thank you jbot! |
19:07.52 | VoodooZ | no, I thought it was more network oriented and thus less flexible for my use. |
19:08.31 | VoodooZ | I invested enough time in openslug anwyay. |
19:08.47 | joshin | We probably could use fewer hardware specific names for builds. |
19:08.55 | mwester | I thought so too, but it seems that OpenWRT is a small flash-based OS that you build upon -- it supports packages from the optware feeds. |
19:09.56 | VoodooZ | I'll have to look into it then. I've just been avoiding any new learning curve. :) |
19:10.25 | VoodooZ | does it support NPTL? |
19:10.47 | mwester | dunno - sorry? |

20:45.08 | rwhitby | joshin: can you test slugos builds with the latest glibc in OE? If it builds, we will update. |
20:45.57 | rwhitby | mwester, VoodooZ: OpenWRT doesn't work yet - there's a jffs2 problem that requires three reboots each time you use a new block of flash in the rootfs. |
20:46.27 | rwhitby | openwrt for nslu2 is 2.6.19 |
20:46.27 | joshin | rwhitby: I've never had any luck when trying to figure out how to build a newer glibc in OE. That's most of why I gave up and went full bore with GentooSlug. |
20:46.42 | joshin | It has been a while since I tried. |
20:47.16 | rwhitby | joshin: try commenting out the PREFERRED_VERSION stuff in conf/distro/include/slugos.inc |
20:47.55 | joshin | I'm pretty sure that I did. NAiL had similar troubles. I'll see about giving it another try. |
20:48.35 | rwhitby | there's another big slugos naming change coming down the pipe probably today too - there will be a single 'slugos' DISTRO, and you change MACHINE to nslu2be or nslu2le to change endianness. |
20:49.22 | joshin | I saw that. |
20:52.17 | joshin | That's good. Should reduce confusion significantly. |
20:52.45 | rwhitby | just rebuilding slugosbe and slugosle from scratch to make sure everything works before commmitting, so it will be a number of hours yet. |
20:52.50 | rwhitby | (if not another day) |
20:52.57 | joshin | :) |
20:53.30 | joshin | I'm building a slugosbe with the glibc preferred commented out. Should get to glibc in an hour or 2. |

22:34.34 | scant | i want to compile ipks from the feed on ubuntu |
22:35.11 | marceln | For what os? |
22:35.21 | marceln | Where did you find crosstool-0.28-rc35.tar.gz? |
22:36.05 | marceln | Do you main from: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CompileCrossTool |
22:36.36 | scant | yes that's where i got it |
22:36.41 | marceln | The main remark there is: "is no longer required" |
22:36.45 | scant | i know |
22:36.53 | marceln | This is obsolute information |
22:37.05 | scant | but for a newb, it doesn't give the new directions |
22:37.42 | marceln | One moment i will give you the new information |
22:40.21 | marceln | Do you use unslung? |
22:41.23 | scant | i use unslug, i was natively compiling |
22:41.29 | scant | but everyone on here says to start doing crossbuilds |
22:41.37 | scant | so that's what i'm trying to do on ubuntu |

22:43.28 | scant | can one of you answer this question... |
22:43.34 | scant | if I want to set an option in the kernel for unslung, do i have to recompile? |
22:46.36 | marceln | The unslung kernel is compiled from openemmeded. |
22:46.51 | marceln | You need the "mastermakefile" setup for that. |

22:48.05 | marceln | http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Development/MasterMakefile |
22:48.45 | scant | is it easy to re-compile unslung6.8? |
22:49.12 | marceln | In the monotone repository you will find the file "openembedded/packages/linux/unslung-kernel/defconfig" |
22:49.26 | marceln | Change that file and type "make unslung". |
22:49.44 | scant | in defconfig i can set kernel options? |
22:50.05 | marceln | Defconfig are the kernel options for the unslung kernel. |
22:50.13 | scant | cool |
22:50.15 | scant | thx for the info |
22:50.30 | marceln | But do you really now what you are doing? |
22:51.13 | marceln | It's really not that hard to understand all the details if you have enough |
22:51.32 | marceln | experiences with linux. |
22:51.34 | *** join/#nslu2-linux rwhitby (n=rwhitby@nslu2-linux/rwhitby) |
22:51.56 | scant | no i have no clue what i'm doing |
22:52.01 | scant | i'm doing multiple things at once |
22:52.37 | scant | i need to rebuild the unslung kernel because i need to use a USB1.0 device on a USB2.0 hub, in order to do that, i have to set the CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO kernel option |
22:57.24 | marceln | 1) Start with the real problem not your sollution |
22:57.46 | marceln | So please tell me what device do you want to connect |
22:58.43 | marceln | 2) There is no option CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO in the unslung kernel |
22:59.34 | marceln | This looks like a kernel 2.6 option |
23:02.32 | scant | marceln: oh |
23:02.46 | scant | my problem is described here |
23:02.48 | scant | http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Peripherals/AudioAdapter |
23:04.54 | rwhitby | scant: that option is not available in Unslung. Use SlugOS instead if you want that option. |
23:05.21 | rwhitby | (or find another way to fix the 1.1 on 2.0 hubs problem) |
23:05.22 | scant | really? |
23:05.43 | scant | on SlugOS is that kernel option set by default? |
23:06.10 | rwhitby | yes |
23:06.22 | rwhitby | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y |
23:06.23 | rwhitby | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO=y |
23:06.23 | rwhitby | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y |
23:06.23 | rwhitby | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y |
23:06.30 | rwhitby | 2.6.20 kernel |
23:06.55 | scant | so all i would have to do is install SlugOS, no recompilation of the SlugOS kernel is involved? |
23:08.45 | marceln | That seems a reasonble sollution unless you really want to solve the problem for unslung. |
23:08.52 | marceln | I have to leave as well |
23:09.07 | *** part/#nslu2-linux marceln (n=marceln@pion.xs4all.nl) |
23:12.48 | *** join/#nslu2-linux rwhitby (n=rwhitby@nslu2-linux/rwhitby) |
23:13.53 | scant | rwhitby: how come that option isn't aval in unslung, is it because it's based on a different kernel and those options aren't available? |
23:14.19 | rwhitby | unslung is a 2.4 kernel |
23:15.12 | scant | is there another way to use a USB 1.0 audio device on a USB 2.0 hub with kernel 2.4? |
23:16.41 | scant | NAiL: I think I was getting that inode error because i was using a flash drive and i did touch /.ext3flash |
23:18.18 | scant | NAiL: thx for the troubleshooting |
23:19.31 | joshin | rwhitby: FYI, I commented out the PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc in slugos.inc with no change. It still build 2.3.5. (Not worth fighting with. I'd rather the effort go to unifying with Angstrom) |
23:19.58 | rwhitby | joshin: note that SlugOS cannot go to Angstrom until EABI works BE. I don't see that happening soon. |
23:20.15 | joshin | Fine. Then I'll stick with Gentoo. :D |
23:22.29 | scant | should I install OpenSlug, UcSlugC, or SlugOS/LE? |
23:28.03 | joshin | rwhitby: So with the current slugos versions using Apex, would I need to do anything special if I Fatten my slug or should it just recognize the extra memory? |
23:29.15 | rwhitby | joshin: apex as first or second stage bootloader? |
23:29.21 | joshin | second |
23:29.40 | rwhitby | slugos doesn't have apex as a second stage bootloader any more. |
23:29.53 | rwhitby | it's being replaced by arm-kernel-shim |
23:30.00 | joshin | Oh. Never mind then. |
23:30.18 | joshin | So what magic do I need to make extra memory show up? |
23:30.49 | rwhitby | you'll need to modify the arm-kernel-shim configuration to reflect the memory configuration. |
23:31.00 | rwhitby | see packages/arm-kernel-shim/files/config-nslu2.h |
23:31.05 | joshin | Ok. Thanks. |
23:31.25 | rwhitby | we'll somehow make that so it can be overridden in your local.conf |
