Why Not Cutting Edge? Options

[lardman]

Hmm, ignore that bit, I've changed it now.

It should have read "If you want to compile a Zaurus 2.4.x kernel, then you need the old GCC 2.95.3 toolchain installed." Now I don't remember what machine you have, but as long as it's not a 5500/5000D, you can ignore this bit and continue.

OK, I'm ready then. But what now? Do I understand it correctly that I can only compile a package for which the recipe has been entered in the onlne directory?

How can I see which packages are available?

If I wanna compile something else for which I have the sourcecode how do I do it? Or should I just compile it on the Z?

Yes (but it's not really online, all of the meta data are downloaded onto your build machine, and then you update these data against the central repository.)

How can I see which packages are available?

Look in the org.openembedded.*/packages/* directories at the names of the .bb files.

If I wanna compile something else for which I have the sourcecode how do I do it? Or should I just compile it on the Z?

You can:

* Create a .bb (recipe) for the program and have bitbake build it automatically.
* Use the toolchain built by OE/bitbake, but don't use bitbake itself for your program.
* Install the OZ native toolchain on your Zaurus and build there.
* Use a stand-alone OZ cross-toolchain (though I can only find a link for the GPE version atm and it's basically just a packaged up version of the toolchain built by bitbake/OE anyway.)

OK

[ShiroiKuma]

OK, seems what the Getting Started page doesn't mention is you should set the BBFILES variable:

CODE

export BBFILES=/path_to_org.openembedded.dev/packages/*/*.bb

So I did that and it ran, but at the end:

CODE

# bitbake php

How should I set them and to what?

I didn't see anything about this in the Getting Started page...

Can you advise me what to do?

[koen]

Try watching http://handhelds.org/~zecke/org.openembedded.htm

[ShiroiKuma]

Try watching http://handhelds.org/~zecke/org.openembedded.htm

OK, this explains a lot.

For the 3200 what should I put in as the device c3xx0, or c3x00, or something else?

you can see the list of machines in org.openembedded.dev/conf/machine/ , but 'spitz' would be the one you want

What is the i686 thing? Did I forget to set something?

[lardman]

You have a floating 'i686' in your gcc command:

CODE

-Wl,-O1 i686 lib/backup-files.c

That shouldn't be there. I'm not sure how it's got there either (my output is identical bar that extra word.) Might be worth checking the .run file in tmp/work/i686-linux/quilt-native/temp/ to see if it's been included in an env var for some reason.


Si

[lardman]

Can you post an URL to /home/cvs/oe/build/tmp/work/quilt-native-0.42-r0/temp/log.do_compile.6929 ?

Or come on #oe or #openzaurus and pastebin (oe.pastebin.com iirc) the contents of the file so we can take a look-see.


Si

[Mickeyl]

(obligatory pointer to a workaround, because I don't like quilt...):

echo "INHERIT += 'patcher'" >> conf/local.conf

then rebuild and never pull your hairs because of quilt...

I've never used IRC, I'll gladly come online, if you tell me how, sorry

[ShiroiKuma]

(obligatory pointer to a workaround, because I don't like quilt...):

echo "INHERIT += 'patcher'" >> conf/local.conf

Did this...

then rebuild and never pull your hairs because of quilt...

Same outcome, perhaps it's not rebuilding, but starting where it left off. How do you start from scratch?
