hey Crofton, were you following Rossimo's success yesterday? |
| [07:44:05] |
<Crofton> |
no, I have accidentally got some paid work :) |
| [07:44:09] |
<drmikecrowe> |
lol -- you can see the logs on the wiki |
| [07:44:15] |
<drmikecrowe> |
he got a sdl program working |
| [07:44:15] |
<Crofton> |
what is the url again? |
| [07:44:17] |
<drmikecrowe> |
linux.zipitwireless.com |
| [07:44:19] |
<drmikecrowe> |
it's in the top-right part of the trac menu |
| [07:44:29] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I don't see a basic SDL port in OE |
| [07:44:30] |
<Crofton> |
hmm |
| [07:44:33] |
<drmikecrowe> |
It appears to want to compile X too |
| [07:44:41] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'm waiting for Rossimo to wake up wo ask some questions |
| [07:44:45] |
<Crofton> |
libsdl? |
| [07:44:51] |
<drmikecrowe> |
That's what I was wondering. |
| [07:44:57] |
<Crofton> |
sadly, I do not do much with screens |
| [07:52:05] |
<drmikecrowe> |
np. I'll pulse him and ethicalclone when they get around |
| [09:03:22] |
<Rossimo> |
drmikecrowe: hey |
| [09:03:33] |
<drmikecrowe> |
hey Rossimo! good morning |
| [09:03:45] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'm just finishing setting up forums on the trac site. Put a forum there on the SDL so I can post your link there. |
| [09:04:13] |
<Rossimo> |
ok |
| [09:04:21] |
<drmikecrowe> |
question for you: where did you start on libSDL? I am looking through some OE stuff, and it looks like OE support xfbdev |
| [09:04:28] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I was thinking of trying both |
| [09:04:43] |
<Rossimo> |
where do i start? what exactly do you mean? sry, i just woke up |
| [09:05:00] |
<Rossimo> |
did i start? oh |
| [09:11:16] |
<Rossimo> |
all i did was just display a graphic on the screen, thats it basically |
| [09:11:17] |
<drmikecrowe> |
np -- in my distribution, I don't have -lSDL. I need to get the SDL static library compiled. |
| [09:11:28] |
<drmikecrowe> |
(I think). Or, go the xfbdev route and see if I can get it running. |
| [09:12:10] |
<Rossimo> |
well, with scratchbox, i just statically compiled it, then "installed" in the sandbox, and copied the headers in the sandboxes /usr/include |
| [09:12:27] |
<Rossimo> |
and where are the forums, exactly? |
| [09:13:12] |
<drmikecrowe> |
http://linux.zipitwireless.com/discussion |
| [09:13:19] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'm not sure how much I like these, but they are the supported ones for trac. |

pong |

<drmikecrowe> |
Question: are you getting emails about new forum topics? I'm trying to see if it's just me as admin that gets notified. |
| [10:01:31] |
<drmikecrowe> |
(new forum topics on the linux.zipitwireless.com forums I added this morning) |
| [10:01:50] |
<Crofton> |
urg, I ahven't signed up |
| [10:02:05] |
<drmikecrowe> |
ah, nevermind. That's where the email would be assigned. |

| [10:23:58] |

It is not ready for prime-time. I'm building the hello-world now. Can you see if I've configured anything awry? |

Hey folks, OE builds a bunch of libraries with symlinks (just like on a standard linux system). It appears that vfat won't handle symlinks. What's a strategy for handling this? |
| [16:17:47] |
<ethicalclone> |
The zipit should be able mount a ext2 file system, but I have not tested that. |
| [16:26:11] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I think it's because my sdcard is formatted as vfat. |
| [16:26:31] |
<ethicalclone> |
I just test it, ext2 is not mounted on boot, and no z2script.sh run |
| [16:26:53] |
<drmikecrowe> |
k |
| [16:27:24] |
<ethicalclone> |
a loop device could |
| [16:27:26] |
<ethicalclone> |
fix the problem |

<drmikecrowe> |
I wonder if it would mount it if were jffs2? |
| [17:04:41] |
<GPSFan> |
drmikecrowe: you could re-format your sd card to have a vfat partition with z2script.sh in it and an ext2 partition with the libs etc. which you could then mount after bootup |
| [17:04:54] |
<drmikecrowe> |
ah, good point. I was thinking all or nothing. |
| [17:06:04] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I have this system that OE built, and I'm trying to think how to get it onto the SD card. |
| [17:06:29] |
<GPSFan> |
does the z2 kernel have nfs or if not you could build the modules and mount your stuff via nfs. |
| [17:06:41] |
<GPSFan> |
I did that a lot with the Z1 |
| [17:07:29] |
<ethicalclone> |
it does have nfs support built-in |
| [17:08:25] |
<GPSFan> |
mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.0.xyz:/mydir /mnt/nfs |
| [17:08:34] |
<GPSFan> |
of course your xyz machine has to support it and you have to create /mnt/nfs first |
| [17:09:47] |
<drmikecrowe> |
man, every time I fdisk my SD card and try to partition, it wipes it out next insert. |
| [17:16:44] |
<ethicalclone> |
did you write the table before exiting? |
| [17:17:53] |
<ethicalclone> |
GPSFan: the directory /mnt/nfs is already on the stock zipit :) |
| [17:18:23] |
<GPSFan> |
ethicalclone: I didn't look...;>) |
| [17:18:36] |
<drmikecrowe> |
yes, I wrote it. Got this error: |
| [17:18:36] |
<drmikecrowe> |
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. |
| [17:19:24] |
<GPSFan> |
drmikecrowe: what's your fdisk command line, and what size is your sd card |
| [17:19:34] |
<drmikecrowe> |
fdisk /dev/sdb1 & 1G |
| [17:19:37] |
<drmikecrowe> |
hmm, should it have been /dev/sdb? |
| [17:19:38] |
<GPSFan> |
use sdb not sdb1 |
| [17:19:39] |
<drmikecrowe> |
yeah, doh |
| [17:25:52] |
<drmikecrowe> |
so, make a vfat XXX megs and the remaining ext2? |
| [17:26:02] |
<drmikecrowe> |
wonder how big -- I guess the vfat could be pretty small, then mount the ext2 as / ? |
| [17:26:09] |
<GPSFan> |
vfat should be the first partition. try xxx = 1/4 the size of the card |
| [17:26:14] |
<drmikecrowe> |
k |
| [17:26:22] |
<GPSFan> |
mount the ext as something other than / or "bad things (tm)" will happen |
| [17:26:24] |
<ethicalclone> |
I would mount the ext2 to someplace in /mnt, then chroot to it |
| [17:27:01] |
<drmikecrowe> |
cool, now I have both |
| [17:38:34] |
<drmikecrowe> |
ok gurus, I need some help. OE can build a ton of packages, and I just had it build several. |
| [17:38:36] |
<drmikecrowe> |
have a look at this: http://zipit.pastebin.com/d1bad8f9f These are all the files created by OE for several files (I tried to build a file called diet-x11 and directfb, not sure how they relate |
| [17:38:59] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'm curious how to take these executables and combine with the framebuffer stuff Rossimo and ethicalclone have done. |
| [17:39:45] |
<drmikecrowe> |
BTW, here's all the packages I compiled (just for grins): |
| [17:39:57] |
<drmikecrowe> |
http://zipit.pastebin.com/d1c0ef7bb |
| [17:44:17] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'm trying to think if this is useful or not (I basically configured what I thought might be a base system and let OE build itself) |
| [17:44:44] |
<GPSFan> |
drmikecrowe: how big is all that stuff listed in the pastebin? |
| [17:46:33] |
<drmikecrowe> |
107M, but there's lots of /usr/share files and /usr/include. I haven't culled it yet |
| [17:46:43] |
<drmikecrowe> |
What would be cool is to do a "bitbake xterm" and copy xterm.ipk to the minisd card. |
| [17:48:08] |
<GPSFan> |
that' sa bit more than you need for a minimal X11 system. I don't use OE. I never got up the learning curve. T0mW had OE building stuff for the Z1, I tried to duplicate his efforts and ran into some strange OE configuration/version issues that I could never figure out. I've only built X11 for one embedded system before, it was too slow to use. |
| [17:48:20] |
<GPSFan> |
bbl... |
| [17:49:11] |
<drmikecrowe> |
me too -- dinner |
