**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 13 03:00:00 2012 Sep 13 16:07:19 hi there, i'm trying to add a new platform to optware. i added a toolchain and packages mk files and can get a number of packages to compile. however, a bunch still don't compile. i probably come up with ways to fix those packages, but i'm not sure how those changes should be integrated into the build system? Sep 13 16:08:21 some packages need changes in compile flags for instance (which means that the package mk file needs to change?), but others need source modification Sep 13 16:09:07 and others seem to have problems downloading the source from upstream (ftp or websites containing the source are down or non-existant) Sep 13 16:10:03 any advice would be greatly appreciated. the platform i'm adding is the chumby (http://www.chumby.com/) Sep 13 16:22:57 hi nikil chumby is what arch? Sep 13 16:23:10 arm Sep 13 16:23:28 i basically copied the cs08q1armel file Sep 13 16:23:43 chumby needs the 2008q3-72 codesourcery package Sep 13 16:25:23 okay so its a variant of cs08q1 Sep 13 16:25:30 (q3-72) Sep 13 16:25:37 yes Sep 13 16:26:09 do you have the ability to essentially go thru the list and see what builds and what doesn't? Sep 13 16:26:46 be sure to add sources.nslu2-linux.org as a resource too... Sep 13 16:26:59 (for getting package sources) Sep 13 16:27:29 yeah, in a couple more hours i'll have the full list (still compiling). basically i'll just compare the completed ipk files to the mk files and see what's missing Sep 13 16:27:44 oh... how do i add that? Sep 13 16:28:08 oh i see... it's commented out in the makefile? Sep 13 16:28:17 right Sep 13 16:28:49 its not the "official" but often we get them and stuff them there in case we have source issues. Sep 13 16:29:13 ah, got it Sep 13 16:30:05 i'll re-enable that source and retry everything that failed once this pass is done... man it takes a long time to compile everything! :) Sep 13 16:30:37 ya! but that just means we have a good set of things to use. Sep 13 16:31:56 so once i have a list of packages that don't compile... how should i proceed? should i try to fix each one? and how do i integrate my fixes with the build system? Sep 13 16:32:30 some things may be fixed by changing the .mk file for a package, but i don't want to break that package for other platforms for instance Sep 13 16:57:48 I am asking the maintainer those questions right now. Sep 13 17:21:05 thanks Sep 13 17:37:31 sorry...trying to work at same time. Sep 13 17:37:56 no worries! i'll be idling in here all day/night Sep 13 17:44:41 what TZ are you in? Sep 13 17:49:11 EST Sep 13 18:27:56 nikil, I'm pretty sure we have patches for different feeds to solve this. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 14 02:59:59 2012
