Zaurus - pdaXrom / ...and Dasher?

« on: August 14, 2005, 01:05:35 am »

I am a newbie, so maybe what I say is just nonsense but there is gconf_2.10.0-1_armv5tel.ipk is PdaXrom feed, so with luck it installs libgconf also.

After a brief compiling and testing done on my zaurus, it suggest that libgconf is need to run dasher..

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Glibc 2.3.x On The Zaurus C Series

« on: August 11, 2005, 06:02:42 am »

As a bit of a linux newbie, I would have thought that updating the glibc from 2.2 to 2.3 would have been a good thing for pdaXrom. I'm guessing not. No?

That would raise a bit of compatibility issues.

I've been trying to compile glibc myself (without success, but I didn't have the configure options I PM'ed you. I've tried 2.3 - 2.3.1 - 2.3.2 - 2.3.3
I got almost no errors on 2.3.3 (all the others gave me loads of errors, but I didn't succeed in making a working version) - maybe that's the one we should focus on ?

strangely, 2.3.3 onwards gives me hell lot of errors   that's why i was battling with 2.3.2
somehow i feel may it be the problem of cross compiling tools? you know, cross compiling is always troublesome and picky.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91184\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Wait, I have got a libpthread.so in the build directory which is about 89kb, however the libpthread-0.10.so became 58kb in the package..  
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91185\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I believe it gets stripped when using mk-ipkg. So, if that's what we're dealing with here, I won't be able to use it. Just to be sure, could you post it over here or PM me ?

Thanks

I have just done a distclean and compile from scarch (again!), give me 15 min.

@ sirob :

How was glibc 2.3.2 compiled ?
Crosscompiler or native ?
What options ?
Did you have to force anything ?

Chero.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91120\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

this is a long story :/

I was using pdaxrom-builder with an old machine to compile, that poor box went totally dead after giving out the first version of 2.3.2 which lacks libnss_dns.so. So I migrated to a new machine, compiled the many versions of glibc 2.3.2 using different settings, but NONE of them goes well with firefox.. so I just put the libnss_dns.so from the later versions into the first package,and it work fines for me  
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91181\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

How about the "libpthread" from the later versions ? Any of them about the size of the original one ?

Chero.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91182\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

what is the size of libpthread? sorry i dont have Z on my hand right now  

(edit: the size of the libpthread in the later versions is about 89kb)

I don't mind waiting,

so here it is, glibc 2.3.2.  

[a href=\"http://zaurus.earpassion.net/glibc_2.3.2_armv5tel.ipk]http://zaurus.earpassion.net/glibc_2.3.2_armv5tel.ipk[/url]

Mind you, it has not been test throughtly yet,    however i have been running it for about an hour without any problems.

update (i) : i couldnt run firefox   - segmentation fault
update (ii) : it seems the problem of running forefox does not related to the new glibc, since some others reports that they could run firefox fine after upgrading.

i will try install openoffice .i will use glibc2.3.2 in pdaxrom.i have updated glibc2.2.5 to glibc2.3.2.it is very cool
openoffice needs glibc>2.2.8.hehe
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=90040\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Any chance you can put up an ipk or a tar.gz of glibc-2.3.2 ?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=90074\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

the right is "布布" from hongkong
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=90231\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

My apologies, libnss_dns.so is missing in this package. I'm currently doing another round of compilation, and hopefully i could test it tonight (Hong kong time)
