14:30.05kos_tomyou have a varying set of options
14:30.13kos_tomyou can call ifconfig directly from your app.
14:30.27kos_tomyou can borrow some ifconfig code into your app (beware of licensing issues)
14:30.53kos_tomor you can use something such as connman that you can talk with using dbus

18:24.59UmeaboyIs it possible to compile the latest kernel for the ARM-arch?
18:25.17UmeaboyI type make menuconfig & then go WHERE?
18:51.54landleyumeaboy: you need an arm toolchain.
18:52.04landleyThat's a compiler/assembler/linker that produces arm output.
18:52.19UmeaboyOK.
18:52.36UmeaboyWould you mind helping me do this? I won't force you.
18:52.38landleyI have one at http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/cross-compiler-armv5l.tar.bz2
18:52.40UmeaboyI can google to.
18:52.56UmeaboyWhat about the armv7l then?
18:53.00landleyYou also need to configure your kernel for arm.  Architecture selection is done on the command line.
18:53.17landleyarmv7 runs armv5 code the way i686 ran i386 code
18:53.23UmeaboyI want to try it in my Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000.
18:53.35landleyBut you can get an armv7 toolchain lots of places.  Code sourcery usually has 'em for download, lemme see...
18:53.57landley(I've got one lying aroun dhere, I'm trying to dig up the URL I downloaded it from...)
18:54.14landleyFirst pass just use the armv5 one, it'll run on your hardwrae.  It just won't be fully optimized.
18:54.31landleyTo select arm architecture in the kernel, go "make ARCH=arm menuconfig".
18:55.15landleyThen to tell it to use cross compiler to build an arm kernel, add the cross compiler's binary directory to your $PATH, and then set the CROSS_COMPILE= value to the toolchain prefix on the make command line.
18:55.20landleyHere, I wrote a paper on this a while ago...
18:55.58landleyhttp://landley.net/writing/docs/cross-compiling.html
18:56.31Umeaboylandley: Doesn't kernel.org's git have a cross-compiler?
18:56.39landleyThis is a bit stale, but might help too: http://landley.net/ols/ols2007/tutorial.txt  (Outline for a cross compilng tutorial I gave back in 2007.)
18:56.58landleyumeaboy: cross compilers are a tool the kernel build uses.
18:57.30landleyThere are cross compilers that produce arm output, mips output, powerpc output, sparc output, sh4 output, cris output, ia64 output, s390 output, m68k output...
18:57.37landleyAnd about 20 others that Linux supports.
18:58.08landleyPlus _within_ an architecture, you have armv4-oabi, armv4tl-eabi, armv5l, armv6l, armv7l, and last week armv8l was released.
18:58.16landleyPlus you have soft float, vfp, neon...
18:58.22landleyThumb and Thumb2 extensions.
18:58.27UmeaboyOK.
18:58.34UmeaboySo first off, I do WHAT?
18:58.37landleyOh, and the "l" on all those stands for "little endian".  There are a couple of "b" variants in use on arm too...
18:58.50landleyTell you what, I did a presentation.
18:59.02landley260 slides.  Assuming you have no background in this at all.  (Well, _trying_ to assume that...)
18:59.24landleyhttp://speakerdeck.com/u/mirell/p/developing-for-non-x86-targets-using-qemu
18:59.40UmeaboyOK.
18:59.44landleyIf you want to understand cross compiling in general, read that.
18:59.54UmeaboyCan't I compile something directly in the Tab?
18:59.57landleyIf you just want to do something specific (build a kernel, it sounds like), I can give you the magic incantation.
19:00.06landleyumeaboy: natively? Sure.
19:00.16landleyhttp://landley.net/downloads/binaries/extras/native-compiler-armv5l.tar.bz2
19:00.16UmeaboyI'd like to do that.
19:00.28UmeaboyBut for armv7l then?
19:00.40landleyOr grab the "root-filesystem-armv5l.tar.bz2" in the same directory, extract it and chroot into it, and build in there.
19:00.44landleyI've got armv6l.
19:00.59landleyarmv5l is the "pentium of arm".  I use that by default because it pretty much runs everywhere, at reasonable performance.
19:00.59UmeaboyOK.
19:01.23landleyThe problem is versions of gcc supporting armv7l got released after the switch to gplv3.
19:01.33landleyI've built 'em here, but don't distribute the resulting binaries because I don't want to get any of that on me.
19:02.30landleyCode Sourcery might ship them.  And you can get them from crosstool-ng and such, although I find that beating a working toolchain out of that thing is a painful waste of an entire afternoon and I've been doing it for years...
19:02.32Umeaboyhttp://landley.net/hg/control-images/ ?
19:03.06landleyumeaboy: those are bundles of source code and shell scripts that automate package builds.
19:03.33landleyYou can plug them into my aboriginal linux root filesystem and they'll run the code out of there instead of booting to a shell prompt.
19:03.44landleyThe most interesting one of those builds the whole of linux from scratch, automatically.
19:03.57landleyGood regression testing for a build environment, that. :)
19:07.12landleyumeaboy: if you want to understand this, I'd read http://landley.net/writing/docs/cross-compiling.html first, then http://speakerdeck.com/u/mirell/p/developing-for-non-x86-targets-using-qemu
19:07.17UmeaboyThis sounds TO much for me right now.
19:07.21landleyUnderstood.
19:07.35landleyDownload the cross compiler I pointed to above, add its' "bin" directory to your $PATH.
19:07.38UmeaboyI prefer using one instructrion at a time.
19:08.08UmeaboyWell............why won't the current gcc-c++ compiler do?
19:08.15landleyLook for defconfig names in arch/arm/configs and pick one you like, then "make ARCH=arm blah_defconfig" with that name.
19:08.39landleyThen "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv5l-" and let it run to completion.
19:09.01landley(The trailing - on the prefix is important, otherwise it'll try to use "armv5lgcc" and "armv5lstrip" and such instead of "armv5l-gcc".
19:09.24landleyWhen you're done, you should have a kernel in arch/arm/boot
19:09.52landleyNote that if you want it to boot via u-boot there's an extra step.  (Install mkuboot and tell it to build "uImage" instead of the default target.)
19:10.03landleyThe reason the current gcc won't do is it produces x86 output.
19:10.08landleyYou need something to produce arm output.
19:10.16UmeaboyCan't use a flag?
19:10.42landleyNotice you can't just REPLACE your existing compiler because it still has to build things like the menuconfig binaries to run on the host system.
19:11.26landleyUmeaboy: a version of gcc that produced output for 30 different hardware targets would be a couple gigabytes in size.
19:11.47landleyPlus it would have 30 different copies of all the header files and things like libgcc and crt1.o
19:12.03landleyPlus it would need to hook up to 30 different copies of the C library (glibc, uClibc, etc.)
19:12.31landleySo no, you need a separate compiler that produces arm output.
19:12.39UmeaboyUHU.
19:13.54Umeaboyhttp://landley.net/downloads/binaries/extras/native-compiler-armv5l.tar.bz2 doesn't work.

19:25.56UmeaboyI really suck at compiling like this so I need to take it slowly.
19:27.56UmeaboyIs THIS useful somehow? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git;a=summary
19:28.07UmeaboyOr is this something else?
19:29.17landleyDid you read the intro to cross compiling document?
19:29.27landleyWhich explains cross compiling vs native compiling...
19:42.34UmeaboyNope. I don't like reading a thousand high-tech dev-pages.
19:43.16UmeaboyI prefer compiling it nice and neat with just a couple of commands......like ./autogen.sh & then ./configure & then make & make install as root.

20:01.34UmeaboyYes.

20:01.48landleyIt contains "tar", "gzip", and "bzip2".

20:02.21UmeaboyWould it be wrong to use THIS instead? http://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-armv6l
20:02.24Umeaboy6 is closer to 7.
20:02.29landleyDo you have write permission to your sd card as the user you're trying to extract the tarball as?
20:02.40landleyUmeaboy: the difference is a rounding error, but sure, go ahead.
20:02.49UmeaboyI think so yes.
20:03.01landley"Can I use i686 code on my Core 2 duo instead of i586 code"?  Yes, yes you can...
20:03.13landleyThe performance difference can't be detected with the hubble telescope, but go for it.
20:03.38landley(It goes to 11.  Because 11 is one greater.)
20:13.37UmeaboyHmmmmmmmmm. I've downloaded that bin-file now & it's in my SD-card & the SD-card is mounted in my tab.
20:13.50UmeaboyOpening Terminal Emulator.
20:14.29Umeaboylandley; Now what?
20:15.56UmeaboyI wrote cd /sdcard & cd /external_sd
20:15.57landleyWell, if you extracted the root-filesystem tarball chroot into it running /sbin/init.sh to do basic setup, and then build stuff.  If you extracted the cross-compiler tarball chroot into it and add its "bin" directory to your $PATH, then build stuff.  (Statically linked anyway, dynamically linked involves adding its shared libraries to your host system which is a couple extra steps.)
20:16.02landleyKernel's fine with static linking though.
20:16.10UmeaboyUuuuuuuuuuuhm .I didn't do that.
20:16.23landleyYou have the tarball on the sdcard?  And the busybox binary?
20:16.37landleychmod +x busybox-armv5l
20:16.42UmeaboyThe tar-ball isn't in the SD-card.
20:16.49landleythen ./busybox-armv5l tar xvjf thetarball.tar.bz2
20:16.52UmeaboyLet me transfer it.
20:16.57landleyBut most likely the reason you couldn't extract it earlier is you ran out of space.
20:16.59UmeaboyIF it works.
20:17.06landleyAlthough you never did say why it failed, so I'm just guessing there.
20:17.27UmeaboyNope. The error didn't say that I was out of space.

20:28.09landleyYou're having a problem roughly equivalent to "I can't copy this file onto this floppy".

20:36.20UmeaboyNow what?
20:36.32Umeaboylandley: ^^
20:36.52UmeaboyI am root in Terminal Emulator now.
20:46.44UmeaboyDoing that command with chmod says Bad mode in return.
20:47.29Umeaboyid shows
20:47.45Umeaboyuid=0(root) gid=0(root)
20:47.45landleybad mode?
20:47.51landleyWhat filesystem are you using on the sd card?
20:48.03UmeaboyHave to check.
20:48.50UmeaboyHow do I get properties of the SD-card?
20:49.04landleydf .
20:49.07landleyor cat /proc/mounts
20:49.13UmeaboyRight.
20:49.59Umeaboytmpfs AFAICS.
20:50.13Umeaboyro-flag thou.
20:50.32landleySo you're attempting to modify a read only filesystem.
20:50.34Umeaboyumount /mnt/sdcard
20:50.37landleyThat's not going to work.
20:50.43landleymount -o remount,rw /mnt/sdcard
20:50.50UmeaboyOK.
20:50.57landleytmpfs has no backing store.
20:51.00landleyIt can't be a tmpfs.
20:51.06landleyThat's a ram backed filesystem.
20:51.52landleyhttp://landley.livejournal.com/52326.html
20:52.58Umeaboy/mnt/sdcard has vfat as filesystem.
20:53.14landleyok.  That doesn't store full unix permissions.
20:53.59landleyYou can try running busybox off of it, because the executable bit might be hardwired on always.
20:54.18landleyBut extracting the compiler onto there might not give you something you can run, because vfat doesn't store all the data quite right.
20:54.25landleyDunno, haven't tried it.
20:54.40landleyAt least they fixed the 8.3 filename thing.
20:54.51landleyI don't think it needs upper and lowercase versions of the same file (which vfat also can't store).
20:56.03Umeaboylandley 1.19.0 is installed of busybox in this tablet any way.
20:56.15UmeaboyI had to install it to root this device.
20:56.20UmeaboySo what's next?
20:56.20landleyYou should be able to tar extract using the host tools then.
20:56.40landleyThe _easy_ thing to do is wget root-filesystem-armv6l.tar.bz2 and chroot into that.
20:57.01Umeaboylandley: Que?
20:57.06*** join/#uclibc antgreen (~user@bas3-toronto06-1176449448.dsl.bell.ca)
20:57.15Umeaboywget?
20:57.16UmeaboyOK.
20:57.26landleyThe less easy thing to do is extract cross-compiler-armv6l.tar.bz2 and export PATH=/path/to/cross-compiler-armv6l/bin:$PATH
20:57.44landleyThen "gcc -static hello.c" to make sure it works, using a standard helloworld program.
20:57.55landleyWhat are you trying to _accomplish_, anyway?
20:57.57landleyBuild a kernel?
20:58.12UmeaboyYes, natively.
20:58.37landleyYou'll have to build and install ncurses to be able to run menuconfig, or you can copy a .config file off another machine.
20:58.44landleyBut you should be able to build with that toolchain, yes.
20:58.52landleyAssuming you have enough memory and free disk space.
20:59.04UmeaboyOK.
20:59.08landleyI don't think you even have to specify ARCH=arm, it should autodetect it when building natively...
20:59.13Umeaboy18 GB of free space in the tablet.
20:59.21landley(Haven't tried that on arm, but I think that's correct.)
20:59.34landleyShould be plenty, you need something like 300 megs.
