Jun 16 03:34:49 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8510 10optware/trunk/make/libc-dev.mk: libc-dev: added /opt/lib/lib*.so symlink if missing
Jun 16 04:11:13 * ByronT is away: I'm busy
Jun 16 06:49:48 <zouzou> i cross compile/build modules for the kernel, when i install them in the natively, and try to modprobe them i get FATAL: module <FOO> not found.
Jun 16 06:49:54 <zouzou> what could be the problem,
Jun 16 06:50:21 <zouzou> the arch is mssii, the host is x64, 
Jun 16 06:54:53 <zouzou> i read somewhere on the net that the bridge module works only when built-in the kernel, so how did others do it for other architecure?
Jun 16 08:56:56 <andreask2> Hi! I'd like to create a packages.mk and a toolchain.mk for a Freescale MPC8543 (which is a PPC e500, not 603e as other PPC feeds). It's for latest Synology NAS boxes (DS508, RS408), so I'd like to start from toolchain-syno-x07.mk, because it uses the same firmware, kernel..., only a different CPU architecture.
Jun 16 08:57:10 <andreask2> I already read adding-a-new-platform.txt, but I don' know how to find out the values for e.g. GNU_TARGET_NAME. How can I find it out? There is no toolchain installed on the system.
Jun 16 08:57:26 <andreask2> Some specs (uname, dmesg, /proc/cpuinfo, libc.so...) can be found here: http://www.synology.com/enu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=34616#p34616
Jun 16 09:17:20 <rwhitby> andreask2: eno is the person to talk to about that
Jun 16 09:17:54 <rwhitby> Do you have a toolchain which is compatible with the vendor firmware?
Jun 16 09:20:20 <andreask2> not yet.
Jun 16 09:21:14 <andreask2> I tought I could create one by myself?
Jun 16 09:21:37 <rwhitby> the usual way to get the GNU_TARGET_NAME is by running the toolchain
Jun 16 09:21:56 <andreask2> perhaps I can ask he vendor...
Jun 16 09:22:25 <andreask2> Which other einformaton would be important to know to create an own toolchain?
Jun 16 09:23:31 <rwhitby> gcc, glibc, binutils versions, pthreads information, ...
Jun 16 09:23:47 <rwhitby> eno will be able to tell you more about it
Jun 16 09:31:56 <andreask2> I'm pretty sure that the same versions are used like for syno-x07 (I already know it's the same kernel and the same glibc)
Jun 16 09:32:23 <andreask2> but I'll come back later and talk to eno
Jun 16 09:32:30 <andreask2> thanks!
Jun 16 09:33:01 <andreask2> what about the sources?
Jun 16 09:34:55 <andreask2> http://synology.com/enu/gpl/index.php
Jun 16 09:35:29 <andreask2> I could buy the gpl sources and provide it to you, would this be helpful?
Jun 16 09:40:26 <rwhitby> that will be useful for kernel modules at least
Jun 16 09:51:43 <andreask2> so it should be possible to add support for monting ISO files, right?
Jun 16 13:21:18 <MASTER_OF_NONE> does any one know how to install a sprint broadband usb modem on backtrack2
Jun 16 15:07:21 * ByronT is back (gone 00:09:35)
Jun 16 17:39:23 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8511 10optware/trunk/ (3 files in 2 dirs): syno-x08 toolchain: added
Jun 16 17:51:24 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8512 10optware/trunk/ (5 files in 2 dirs): renamed syno-x08 to syno-e500
Jun 16 17:57:27 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8513 10optware/trunk/platforms/toolchain-syno-e500.mk: toolchain-syno-e500: no need for kernel header
Jun 16 21:02:20 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8514 10optware/trunk/make/ (apr-util.mk apr.mk): apr/apr-utils: 1.2.12 -> 1.3.0
Jun 16 21:02:47 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8515 10optware/trunk/make/apache.mk: apache: 2.2.8 -> 2.2.9
Jun 16 21:40:15 <CIA-47> 03bzhou * r8516 10optware/trunk/make/obexftp.mk: obexftp: 0.20 -> 0.22
Jun 17 01:34:29 <RobNC> morning everyone.  Anyone know if the ipkg repositories (slugosbe) is still "messed up" regarding builds not being populated?
Jun 17 01:45:33 <rwhitby> RobNC: mwester is working on it right now, it's slow but steady progress.
Jun 17 01:46:40 <RobNC> rwhitby: thanks, what a pain...  is it possible to build the beta versus alpha?
Jun 17 01:48:25 <RobNC> is it just "make slugosbe-4.9-beta"?
Jun 17 01:49:29 <rwhitby> 4.8-beta
Jun 17 01:49:45 <rwhitby> that builds from our svn release snapshot
Jun 17 01:49:47 <RobNC> yeah just realized that thanks.  Seems 4.9 was skipped.
Jun 17 01:50:16 <rwhitby> numbers are cheap - we increment whenever something significant changes, irrespective of releases.
Jun 17 01:51:16 <RobNC> Ah ok, especially it's only a dot release not 5.x. Perhaps it should be 4.11 since odd numbers (for linux kernel) are unstable :-)
Jun 17 01:52:46 * RobNC assumes no problems with feeds for 4.8?
Jun 17 01:53:53 <rwhitby> odd numbers are no longer unstable for linux - that changed a while ago
Jun 17 01:54:01 <rwhitby> 4.8 feeds are fine
Jun 17 01:54:41 <RobNC> thanks for confirmation, hadn't kept up for linux kernels for a few years it seems.
Jun 17 01:56:44 <RobNC> rwhitby: regarding OOM >64MB reported "patch", I did see some dma memory errors with patch but it didn't crash kernel.  Need to try more extensive tests to  be sure.
Jun 17 01:57:15 <rwhitby> ok
Jun 17 01:57:31 <rwhitby> we're interested in the results
Jun 17 01:59:31 <RobNC> need to get a stable slugos build with proper tools.  Doing that now for 4.8, will let you know once I'm at a point I can test again (may take >6 hours).
Jun 17 02:21:48 <rwhitby> RobNC: note that anything that's in the feeds for 4.10-alpha you can build yourself instead ...
Jun 17 02:22:24 <rwhitby> our feeds are all built automatically using the Master Makefile, so there is no difference between what goes in the feeds and what you can build yourself.
Jun 17 02:34:34 <RobNC> rwhitby: thanks, I might do that sometime, when I figure out how :-)
Jun 17 02:41:26 <RobNC> rwhitby: I see what you mean, makes sense... so some packages are probably broken (some changes, etc) in make files for programs
