Help Me!

[henry]

I tried the "pdaXrom katrhin rc9 builder"--pdaXrom-builder-22.20_30.01.05.tar.bz2, some problems occured, and I found that there is not any configure file or patches files for me to make a linux distribution for my Zaurus SL-C7500.
I successfully installed a RC9.1 on my C7500, so I am sure that 9.1 works well for it. Could anyone give me a builder for RC9.1?

[pgas]

newer version of the builder can be found here:

http://pdaxrom.spy.org/pdaXrom-builder/

try to contact sashz, he is the only person who can "really" help you  (not really easy as the mail @pdaxrom.org doesn't seem to work... but you can try on #cacko irc.freenode.net where he hangs from time to time)

[Laze]

The new website is almost done and there will be much better functions and documentations - so please have patience.

[henry]

Thanks, you two are so nice persons.
I am now in a plan, in which the Zaurus 7500C is selected as a terminal. Our group is going to do some experiments on IPv6, and the plan should be finished by June, that is why I am so anxious to make Zaurus 7500C support IPv6. Thus the first step is to make and compile the new pdaXrom distribution, with a IPv6-supported kernel.
I tried to build a new distribution many times, ah~~~ so many problems for me, you know that I am really a greenhand on linux OS.

BTW: If anyone can tell sashz about my problem, I would appreciate you a lot, a lot.

Configuration file for corgi devices - config-sys/corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.18/
that the same for all C7x0/860 Zauruses. C7500 the same device too. On default , configuration will build boxer kernel, it will work on C7500 without problems.

Thank you, sashZ! I run "make menuconfig", have not get any problem. It is 22:23, maybe tomorrow morning the xtools will be ok, I really hope so.

[henry]

Thank you for your reply, sashZ!
I configured and install the xtools in /tmp/crosstools , than I "make kernel_menuconfig", selected the ipv6 modules, and then I make world.
Two problems occured :
Firstly, it told me that "cann't find arm-linux-gcc", so I copied the armv5tel-linux-gcc to it(I don't know if it is right?maybe wrong). Then I run make world.
Secondly, it told me that

Hi, morning everyone:
  I saw sashz on #cacko irc.freenode.net.(thank you pgsas for this address). And I asked some questions. Sashz gave me the answers.

<henry> sashZ
<sashz> morning
<sashz> henry, you could compile gcc 2.95.3 for kernel compilaton. look config-sys/*2.95.3
<henry> morning!
<henry> Must I copy the arm5vtel-linux-gcc to arm-linux-gcc?
<henry> collie-sa1110-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.18 corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.20 pc-x86-hardfloat-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.6.10
<henry> corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95.3-2.2.5-2.4.18 corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.6.11-rc5 segadc-sh4-hardfloat-3.4.3-1.13.0-kos
<henry> corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.18 hms-h8300-nofloat-3.4.3-1.13.0-newlib sucks
<henry> here are all the sub directories in config-sys/, which one should I choose, if I want to build one for my sl-7500c
<sashz> corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95.3-2.2.5-2.4.18 for gcc 2.95.3
<sashz> choose option external crosscompiler for kernel
<sashz> compile kernel gcc in seperate directory
<henry> ?? Do you mean "The xtools configured by corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95-2.2.5-2.4.18 are for ipkgs, and I have to install an external gcc2.95 in a seperate directory for the kernel compiling?"
<sashz> nono
<sashz> now you have copmiled only crossgcc 3.3.2, right?
<henry> yes
<sashz> for build zaurus kernel 2.4.18 you must compile also crossgcc 2.95.3
<henry> ??
<sashz> because this kernel will build right only with this gcc
<sashz> look short manual on oesf
<henry> ok, do I have to remove all the files in /tmp/crosstools?
<sashz> yes
<henry> to recompile crossgcc 2.95.3?
<henry> ok
<sashz> if you archived gcc 3.3.2, just unpack it for restore xtool
<sashz> than compile 2.95.3 in /tmp/crosstools-2.95.3 for example
<henry> yes, I have done it,"make archive-tools"
<sashz> than copy rom configuration and make menuconfig and change path to binaries with external crosscompiler for kernel
<sashz> than configure kernel and make it
<henry> If it is done shall I input "/tmp/crosstools-2.95.3/bin" in the externel compiler path?
<sashz> yes, because when run kernel compilation that will looking for kernel compiler
<henry> Actually, I have done that before. And I get the zImage.bin file, but I did not get the initrd.bin after I make image, Some bugs happened
<sashz> which bugs?
<henry> That happened two days ago, I forgot it,god.
<sashz> okay, i go now, will back in 3-4 hrs
<henry> Thanks for your help! tanks a lot, a lot. you are so nice
<sashz> no problem icon_smile.gif
