echelon: g'day |
| [09:14:48] |
<echelon> |
i got X server running :) |
| [09:15:35] |
<echelon> |
now.. how do i create my own bitbake packages for OE? |
| [09:15:44] |
<echelon> |
i want to port wavemon |
| [09:18:37] |
<GPSFan> |
I know nothing about OE other than I can't make it work. However I have ported wavemon (which just needs ncurses. there are a few pix on the yahoo photo's section. |
| [09:19:05] |
<echelon> |
why can't you get it to work? |
| [09:19:14] |
<echelon> |
you don't have the proper environment? |
| [09:19:25] |
<echelon> |
my problem was that i couldn't get buildroot to work heh |
| [09:20:17] |
<GPSFan> |
every time I try to build it it breaks in a different way, and it takes 6 hours to build on my puny little 2.3GHz single core 1.2G linux box. |
| [09:21:40] |
<GPSFan> |
with tomw's help I got it to build once. and it took 6 hours. the resulting code did not run. and I could never get it to build again without breaking. |
| [09:22:32] |
<echelon> |
just make sure you have a stable connection.. i have a 1.6ghz, i just left it running over night |
| [09:22:43] |
<echelon> |
by morning everything was done |
| [09:22:59] |
<echelon> |
and you probably need 2-4gb |
| [09:24:37] |
<echelon> |
i'm currently using 2.2G |
| [09:24:53] |
<echelon> |
building gtk+ now |
| [09:25:30] |
<GPSFan> |
I tried that, after the successful build that tomw helped me with I changed someting and something unrelated broke. I had no clue why, and frankly didn't have the time or the inclination to really dig into it. That said, I think that OE has one of the most powerful and flexible build systems I've seen. I just can't make it work. |
| [09:25:56] |
<echelon> |
you checked all the dependencies? |
| [09:26:32] |
<echelon> |
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro |
| [09:28:11] |
<echelon> |
i've had to install psyco, quilt, help2man.. the zipit distribution builds a local copy of bitbake and monotone |
| [09:29:47] |
<echelon> |
z2_oe_base-image_svn_r59.tar.gz didn't work for me either |
| [09:30:47] |
<echelon> |
but the one from clemsonlinux.org worked |
| [09:30:58] |
<echelon> |
and also the one i built |
| [09:30:59] |
<GPSFan> |
that was quite some time ago, things have probably changed, I'll give it another try someday. the z2 is not at the top of the rpriority list these days. |
| [09:31:21] |
<GPSFan> |
If I can't rebuild something myself, I won't usually use it on an embedded system. |
| [09:31:23] |
<echelon> |
the same goes for everyone else here :P |
| [09:31:50] |
<echelon> |
you've had to patch wavemon, yeah? |
| [09:31:57] |
<GPSFan> |
I've been using buildroot since the tuxscreen days and believe me it's gone through some issues over the years. |
| [09:32:37] |
<echelon> |
there isn't even a stable release |
| [09:32:42] |
<echelon> |
all the patches are broken |
| [09:33:42] |
<GPSFan> |
wavemon required a lot of work even beyond the stuff I did for the z1. THere were a lot of wireless driver issues. but it works, in color too. ;>) |
| [09:34:29] |
<echelon> |
these were the patches i made when i released it for my distro.. http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/12.1/network/wavemon/patches/ |
| [09:37:00] |
<GPSFan> |
those are off wavemon 0.4.0b ? |
| [09:38:31] |
<echelon> |
yeah |
| [09:39:47] |
<echelon> |
i don't think there's been a release since.. 2001 |
| [09:40:22] |
<echelon> |
2003, rather |
| [09:42:55] |
<echelon> |
GPSFan: how did you work out the F# keys? |
| [09:44:09] |
<GPSFan> |
I got rid of the Fn keys on my z1 port, I just use numbers from 1 to 5. since you have to press the alt key anyway to get to the numbers. |
| [09:51:43] |
<echelon> |
ah kk |
| [09:52:25] |
<echelon> |
GPSFan: you haven't been able to turn off the screen right? |
| [09:53:55] |
<GPSFan> |
what do you mean by turn it off? |
| [09:54:10] |
<echelon> |
after inactivity |
| [09:54:17] |
<echelon> |
or after the lid is closed |
| [09:54:52] |
<echelon> |
it's able to detect when the lid is closed in the original firmware, right? |
| [09:56:57] |
<GPSFan> |
theere is a builtin timeout for inactivity, if you echo -e "\033[9;0]" that will turn it off. |
| [09:57:19] |
<GPSFan> |
there is another to re-enable it. |
| [09:57:32] |
<echelon> |
ah, will have to make a note of that |
| [09:57:41] |
<echelon> |
but nothing on lid state? |
| [09:57:52] |
<GPSFan> |
as for lid switch, baattery charger, led's, etc. thats all TBD. |
| [09:57:59] |
<echelon> |
kk |
| [09:58:08] |
<GPSFan> |
there is a magnetic switch for the lid switch IIRC. |
| [10:10:28] |
<echelon> |
wow.. OE supports a lot of packages |
| [12:38:40] |
<echelon> |
can someone using OE test a .bb file for me? |
| [12:55:29] |
<echelon> |
GPSFan: have you released your patches? |
| [13:24:17] |

damn it! |
| [21:14:51] |
<echelon> |
i got wavemon to build on OE, and now it segfaults |
| [21:16:09] |
<echelon> |
how the heck do i debug OE apps? |
| [21:16:19] |
<echelon> |
without running it on zipit |
| [21:19:45] |
<echelon> |
nvm, just read about devshell |
| [21:19:58] |
<echelon> |
seriously, where is everybody? |
| [21:21:30] |
<echelon> |
getting ready to go back to school? |
| [21:21:37] |
<echelon> |
i mean that is the demographic zipit is trying to reach |
