I've installed all these

gcc-symlinks binutils-symlinks automake autoconf make diffutils
libc6-dev gtk+-dev pkgconfig ncurses-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev
libungif-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxpm-dev libxft-dev
libxrender-dev libxt-dev xproto-dev libz-dev libungif4

packages on OZ 3.5.4.1 on a spitz (as listed on http://wiki.openzaurus.org/Howto_%28probab...e_3.5.4.1rc4%29 ) except for automake which says it won't install as it depends on perl. When I try configuring a program it aborts with the error

C compiler cannot create executables

??

I'm trying to compile ROX- my fave GTK filemanager. I want a ROX desktop under OZ- is there not feed somewhere that already has a ROX desktop for OZ 3.5.4.x?

That doc above mentions the need to hack /usr/lib/libc.so - is this step still required to compile natively under OZ?

I want to be logged into GPE as root so that I can eject cards as well as read, write and delete files on cards under a graphical filemanager - gpe or rox- but the login screen doesn't seem to want to let me login as root. What can I do about this?

I have the same problem with compiling libchm!!

Use OpenEmbedded instead of native compilation, that way hrw can add it into the feeds, much less anti-social

Koen:

Fair enough. I do want to help the OZ project along but at the same time I really want to see an app being compiled on my Z- its just one of those 'must dos' I have with my Z. The apps I really want in oz are

rox filer

latest dillo

pymp

audacity

zynaddsubfx

amule

hydrogen

I don't know if the Z will have enough CPU power to make zyn worthwhile but someone needs to try it

[a href=\"http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/org.openembedded.dev/packages/libchm]http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/or...packages/libchm[/url]

that took about 5 minutes of work to create.

I agree that a .bb is more useful, but it would still be useful to know how to install a working native toolchain.

Koen, can you let us know (HowTo, etc.) once you've got your arm board setup and compiling things (R, OOo, etc.)?

Si

danboid · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2006, 03:06:32 pm »

What's the address of the perl feed?

An up to date howto would be great!

That won't be using OZ, and I have no idea how much the gcc3 and gcc4 toolchains differ.

Try visiting the url where the feeds are with your browser and go up one dir

is there any chance that the gcc packages will be fixed?

i know a .bb file is handy but it sucks when you want to write a small program or two on your Z

stuff it ill submit a bug report

gcc 4.1.1 works fine over here as a native toolchain, so I don't get what you want to have fixed.

My mistake, as I've been building from .dev, I'd thought that GCC 4.xx was used for the releases too.

i used whatever is in the feeds (3.4.4)

it wont matter for the next day or two as my Z is going down for a planned "hardware upgrade"

DaemonsGR · « **Reply #14 on:** September 02, 2006, 07:00:31 am »

Is native compiling not fixed yet?
