Mar 15 04:30:08 <acidsqlit> hello everyone
Mar 15 04:31:19 <acidsqlit> not sure if I'm on right channel, but I need some information about package building
Mar 15 04:32:05 <acidsqlit> what I am trying to do is to build proftpd with --enable-nls function, which I succeeded on my ubuntu
Mar 15 04:32:59 <acidsqlit> and my target platform is ddwrt/asus-wl500w
Mar 15 04:33:36 <acidsqlit> then I discovered that my target doesn't have locale dir :(
Mar 15 04:34:26 <acidsqlit> after some research I couldn't find localedef package or anything that would help me to define couple locales
Mar 15 04:35:22 <acidsqlit> any idea how to incorporate locale?
Mar 15 04:55:08 <acidsqlit> getting this when iconv_open is called:
Mar 15 04:55:11 <acidsqlit> error opening conversion handle from 'utf8' to 'cp1251': Invalid argument
Mar 15 05:04:17 <eno> acidsqlit: have you installed libiconv?
Mar 15 05:11:38 <acidsqlit> yea, here is what I got: Use of libiconv is deprecated. Use gconv-modules instead
Mar 15 05:11:54 <acidsqlit> installed gconv-modules, but not sure what I should do after
Mar 15 05:12:12 <acidsqlit> root@acid-wl500w:~# ipkg-opt install gconv-modules
Mar 15 05:12:12 <acidsqlit> Installing gconv-modules (2.2.5-7) to /opt/...
Mar 15 05:12:12 <acidsqlit> Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/gconv-modules_2.2.5-7_mipsel.ipk
Mar 15 05:12:12 <acidsqlit> Configuring gconv-modules
Mar 15 05:12:12 <acidsqlit> Successfully terminated.
Mar 15 05:13:10 <acidsqlit> restarted proftpd, but same error on iconv_open
Mar 15 05:22:21 <eno> hmm, i thought ddwrt uses uclibc, so it should enable libiconv instead
Mar 15 05:23:33 <eno> you can try build libiconv and install it
Mar 15 05:23:40 <eno> and see if that helps
Mar 15 05:25:02 <acidsqlit> any easy way to force build? cuz it won't build now
Mar 15 05:28:30 <eno> edit your local platforms/packages-ddwrt.mk, add libiconv to SPECIFIC_PACKAGES
Mar 15 05:32:00 <CIA-64> 03bzhou * r9741 10optware/trunk/make/lftp.mk: lftp: 3.7.8 -> 3.7.9
Mar 15 05:33:05 <acidsqlit> ok, got .ipk file, installing...
Mar 15 05:39:03 <eno> you probably also need to rebuild proftpd ipk to use libiconv
Mar 15 05:39:44 <eno> do an libiconv-stage before rebuilding proftpd
Mar 15 05:44:23 <acidsqlit> ok, just made "make libiconv-stage"
Mar 15 05:44:47 <acidsqlit> now just make proftpd-dirclean and then make proftpd-ipk ?
Mar 15 05:46:44 <eno> yep
Mar 15 05:48:15 <acidsqlit> hmm oki :)
Mar 15 05:52:21 <acidsqlit> root@acid-wl500w:~# /opt/sbin/proftpd -V
Mar 15 05:52:21 <acidsqlit> Bus error
Mar 15 05:54:56 <eno> when you enabled nls, how did proftpd find libiconv before?
Mar 15 05:56:33 <acidsqlit> haven't done anything special...
Mar 15 05:57:12 <acidsqlit> I guess I had no libiconv before
Mar 15 05:57:53 <acidsqlit> I'll try to uninstall libiconv now
Mar 15 05:58:54 <acidsqlit> or no need? iconv works well
Mar 15 05:59:14 <acidsqlit> root@acid-wl500w:~# iconv --version
Mar 15 05:59:14 <acidsqlit> iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11)
Mar 15 05:59:31 <eno> so in that configuration, uclibc includes iconv function
Mar 15 06:00:06 <eno> but why did it give "invalid argument" error?
Mar 15 06:00:32 <eno> sorry I misled you into adding libiconv and libconv-stage in your build
Mar 15 06:00:36 <acidsqlit> because there is no locale I wrote before
Mar 15 06:00:48 <acidsqlit> locale is missing :)
Mar 15 06:00:58 <acidsqlit> it's ok
Mar 15 06:01:53 <acidsqlit> invalid argument means somehow it couldn't find encodings I specify as arguments, I guess...
Mar 15 06:01:57 <eno> you'll probably do some cleanup of your ddwrt/staging directory to undo libiconv-stage
Mar 15 06:02:35 <eno> ok, can you look in ddwrt package feed, for locale packages?
Mar 15 06:02:44 <acidsqlit> how to do cleanup in staging?
Mar 15 06:03:38 <eno> i don't think ddwrt uclibc knows how to find locales installed by optware gconv-modules
Mar 15 06:04:04 <acidsqlit> couldn't find any file installed after gconv-modules...
Mar 15 06:04:05 <eno> easiest is to nuke staging/, and rebuild
Mar 15 06:04:42 <eno> ah, it's an empty package
Mar 15 06:05:00 <acidsqlit> yes most likely it's some dummy
Mar 15 06:06:19 <acidsqlit> so back to original question - how to install locales? :)
Mar 15 06:08:07 <eno> what gconv-modules package does on glibc platforms, is to copy from toolchain/.../lib directory locale-name.so files
Mar 15 06:10:01 <eno> doing a search of "find toolchain/ -name ISO8859-8.so" under ddwrt yields nothing
Mar 15 06:10:38 <acidsqlit> well, even if I by some magic build those .so files, how to make proftpd to use them?
Mar 15 06:11:00 <acidsqlit> locale is not only those .so files I believe, it's also ../locale dir structure
Mar 15 06:11:01 <eno> i guess you'll need to understand more about how uclibc with iconv configured finds locale files
Mar 15 06:13:19 <acidsqlit> basically iconv functions are residing inside of ulibc for this platform?
Mar 15 06:14:09 <eno> yeah, that's my understanding right now
Mar 15 06:14:23 <acidsqlit> I see... things are not simple here
Mar 15 06:14:54 <eno> so as far as proftpd is concerned, iconv support is ready
Mar 15 06:15:08 <acidsqlit> yes
Mar 15 06:15:24 <acidsqlit> just need to setup locales on my router
Mar 15 06:15:49 <eno> uclibc needs to provide more locale data so you can call iconv
Mar 15 06:16:38 <eno> google on "uclibc localedata"
Mar 15 06:17:28 <acidsqlit> yea, checking...
Mar 15 06:19:10 <eno> it's probably some buildroot options
Mar 15 06:19:27 <acidsqlit> http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-locale-030818.tgz
Mar 15 06:19:45 <acidsqlit> hope it's easy..
Mar 15 06:20:13 <acidsqlit> found locale_data.c there
Mar 15 06:21:15 <eno> but these are .c and .h
Mar 15 06:21:17 <acidsqlit> moreover, found encodings I'm interested in like CP1251
Mar 15 06:21:44 <eno> i don't suppose uClibc can use these at runtime
Mar 15 06:22:13 <acidsqlit> yea not runtime, even if I have to rebuild ulibc it's ok
Mar 15 06:23:09 <eno> hopefully it's generating some data file or .so files
Mar 15 06:35:56 <acidsqlit> but... maybe it's easier to make proftpd use libiconv instead of using uClibc iconv?
Mar 15 09:30:59 <acidsqlit> strange. uclibc already has UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE=y and UCLIBC_PREGENERATED_LOCALE_DATA=y
Mar 15 09:32:46 <acidsqlit> but still not sure why it doesn't work to cooperate with proftpd and provide encodings
Mar 15 09:34:26 <acidsqlit> it does accept ASCII encoding though
Mar 15 10:09:01 <acidsqlit> oh finally solved...
