**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 18 02:59:58 2012 Apr 18 03:15:11 hi all, this is the last place I'm coming for help Apr 18 03:15:40 after days of unsuccessfully trying to build an ipk package for slugosbe-5.3 Apr 18 03:16:12 host system: ubuntu 10.04 server (lucid), gcc 3.4 Apr 18 03:16:35 this is what I've done so far, but can't move forward Apr 18 03:17:10 1. download Master Makefile, and then `sudo make setup-host-debian' Apr 18 03:17:26 all the deb files are installed with no issues Apr 18 03:18:48 2. according to `wiki/Development/MasterMakefile', edited Makefile to use bitbake version 1.10.1 Apr 18 03:19:01 and comment out 3 lines of the code Apr 18 03:19:10 3. make update Apr 18 03:19:20 (so far so good) Apr 18 03:19:40 4. run `make build-slugosbe-5.3-beta-image' Apr 18 03:20:17 I got that from a post in the yahoo group [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/23701] Apr 18 03:20:34 now, this where things start to get ugly Apr 18 03:21:14 after a few hours, I get this error Apr 18 03:21:16 NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 527 tasks of which 0 didn't need to be rerun and 6 failed. Apr 18 03:22:16 unifdef-native_2.6.18+git.bb failed, fakeroot-native_1.9.6.bb, ixp4xx-npe-native_2.4.bb, netbase_4.21.bb, base-passwd_3.5.19.bb, ixp4xx-npe_2.4.bb all failed Apr 18 03:23:01 at this point, I assume the crosscompiler is setup, so I think I don't need to create an image, just really need the crosscompiler Apr 18 03:23:24 5. make build-slugosbe-5.3-beta-image Apr 18 03:23:36 sorry, Apr 18 03:23:47 5. make setup-optware-slugos5be Apr 18 03:23:55 6. cd optware/slugos5be Apr 18 03:24:08 7. make which-ipk Apr 18 03:24:17 (just to test the compiler) Apr 18 03:24:43 got a make failure, saying that the compiler can't create executables Apr 18 03:24:51 *make error 2 Apr 18 03:25:35 after finding the crosscompiler, I try to compile a simple hello-world.c Apr 18 03:26:14 got this error, test.c:1:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory Apr 18 03:26:56 added -I./releases/slugos-5.3-beta/slugos-nslu2be.tmp/work/armv5teb-linux-gnueabi/glibc-2.6.1-r15/glibc-2.6.1/include Apr 18 03:27:23 got other types of errors, like error: storage class specified for parameter ?size_t? Apr 18 03:27:39 so apparently, the crosscompiler is not working Apr 18 03:28:53 I tried to compile a crosscompiler from scratch, used codesourcery, kegel's crosstool, crosstool-ng, but I can't achieve what I want Apr 18 03:29:48 so, if anyone has experience setting up the crosscompiler for slugos be 5.3, I would really appreciate some words of advice Apr 18 03:29:53 thank you Apr 18 03:32:19 ps: I don't expect a reply right away, so I'll leave this irc client running on screen, and check back tomorrow morning at work Apr 18 03:32:57 ps2: I'm using weechat and it's running on my nslu2 :) Apr 18 13:38:11 hey guys, I see that no-one has replied to my question yet Apr 18 13:38:39 I'll keep waiting (-.-) Apr 18 21:01:58 ka6sox: ping? Apr 18 21:19:26 NAiL, pong. Apr 18 21:21:32 Howdy :) Apr 18 21:21:54 NSLU2 had (has?) a Debian autobuilder, right?
