[14:43:33] <nhoman> ethicalclone: any more success with switch_root?
[14:43:37] <nhoman> i'm still trying do work out how to get this OE setup to generate something useful.
[14:43:58] <nhoman> drmikecrowe: did you get your head around how to add libs generated
[14:44:08] <nhoman> oops ...not generated but reguired by openembedded binaries.
[14:44:22] <nhoman> (or indeed a method of statically building)

[20:09:18] <windoze_> is there going to be a tutorial on how to compile stuff for zipit?
[20:09:37] <windoze_> i'm not too proficient at hacking devices, but i do want to try to compile some stuff
[20:09:43] <Rossimo> we're currently working on getting OpenEmbedded ported to the z2
[20:09:50] <Rossimo> but, personally, i use scratchbox at the moment
[20:09:52] <Rossimo> what OS are you using?
[20:09:53] <windoze_> ubuntu
[20:09:54] <windoze_> i just started using linux
[20:09:54] <Crofton> I wish I had time to help with the OE work
[20:09:57] <Crofton> maybe next month :(
[20:10:01] <windoze_> so if you have OE, would you get lots of pre-done software to install?
[20:13:58] <Crofton> ass loads :)
[20:14:00] <windoze_> lol
[20:14:04] <Crofton> l8r
[20:14:06] <windoze_> wow, the zipit processor doesn't look too weak
[20:14:15] <windoze_> it could play videos with mplayer right?
[20:14:22] <Rossimo> yes, but slooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly
[20:14:28] <windoze_> even if the processor speed is like 300mhz right?
[20:14:30] <Rossimo> that was a quick port of mine, no optimization at all right now
[20:14:36] <windoze_> i wish you could just run win95 :)
[20:14:43] <Rossimo> windoze_: that would defeat the point :P
[20:14:46] <windoze_> true
[20:14:52] <Rossimo> but, you can visit http://www.scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/installdoc.html#AEN132 to install scratchbox on ubuntu
[20:14:56] <Rossimo> i'm running ubuntu 7.10 right
[20:14:58] <Rossimo> ask me if you need any help
[20:16:52] <windoze_> same, so with scratchbox, what i compile is ARM machine code
[20:16:54] <windoze_> ?
[20:16:56] <Rossimo> yes, you can
[20:17:02] <windoze_> then you flash it over to the zipit?
[20:17:14] <Rossimo> yeah, just copy the executable to a micro (or is it mini) SD card, and run them on the zipit
[20:17:31] <windoze_> how's that work? is it a command?
[20:17:37] <Rossimo> well, you can copy over the file using ubuntu's file manager
[20:17:38] <Rossimo> but sure, you can use a command too
[20:17:42] <windoze_> hmm.... i think i will wait a while, and see what happens then
[20:17:48] <windoze_> it's quite interesting
[20:18:00] <windoze_> thanks, bb
[20:18:12] <windoze_> (still need better publicity for the website though - i couldn't find it easily)
[20:18:17] <windoze_> (need hackaday.com people to see it)
[20:18:22] <windoze_> lots of low level coders i'm sure they're great
[20:18:28] <Rossimo> the original zipit was on hackaday
[20:18:41] <windoze_> oh, cool.
