**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 16 03:00:07 2006 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 16 04:16:22 2006 Nov 16 11:03:54 <[g2]> sorry for the repeat, but anybody try netconsole with the GPL NPE driver ? Nov 16 16:43:10 NAiL: HopsNBarley has working glibc2.5 on his ppc distro which is based off slugos. Nov 16 16:43:47 he was nice enough to give me a copy of his uncommited configs but I couldn't get it to work more. Nov 16 16:43:53 Still TLS required crap. Nov 16 16:44:28 he uses glibc 2.3.2 as the initial one. Nov 16 16:45:21 but my understanding of all this initial,intermediate shit is too limited to figure out. I'm just stabbing in the dark. :( Nov 16 16:45:27 that won't work on arm Nov 16 16:45:39 since 2.3.x doesn't have nptl for arm Nov 16 16:45:50 you see! I'm totally dumb! :) Nov 16 16:45:51 so you'll have to use >=2.4 as intermediate Nov 16 16:46:04 ok, that's what he was using. Nov 16 16:46:12 2.3.2 as initial and 2.5 for others. Nov 16 16:46:22 that could work for ppc, but not arm Nov 16 16:46:24 are all 3 needed for slugos? Nov 16 16:46:38 well, I'd be happy just to get to build at least. Nov 16 16:46:45 I still get that TLS required crap. Nov 16 16:46:46 angstrom only needs glibc-intermediate and glibc Nov 16 16:47:07 I tried to disable it with --without-tls but nah. :( Nov 16 16:47:13 I see. Nov 16 16:48:08 the reason I was using HopsNBarley's bb files is that he has it working on his new PPC distro that is based off slugos Nov 16 16:48:22 so i thought it would be easier than comparing to angstrom Nov 16 16:49:22 I need a good cross-building tutorial i guess. Nov 16 16:49:33 Is the whole intermediate/initial thing specific to crosstools? Nov 16 16:50:32 crosstools? Nov 16 16:50:41 that is so 1990's Nov 16 16:51:25 VoodooZ: for nptl the compiler needs a glibc, but glibc needs a compiler to get compiler Nov 16 16:51:40 so you have to build a 'intermediate' or 'initial' glibc to build gcc Nov 16 16:52:30 so you need gcc-cross-initial to build glibc-intermediate to build gcc-cross to build glibc Nov 16 17:00:47 I guess I'll need to read that Oreilly embedded linux book after all. Nov 16 17:02:57 it's not an embedded thing Nov 16 17:03:06 you'll need to do the same for x86 Nov 16 17:03:17 ok. where should I start reading then? Nov 16 17:03:24 but people don't notice since they already have a thread enabled gcc Nov 16 17:04:12 yeah. Nov 16 17:04:34 I'm willing to learn as I'd love to understand the whole picture. Nov 16 17:11:07 VoodooZ, bitbake -v is a great teaching tool, since it shows dependency chains and how they are resolved. i couldn't have figured it all out without that. Nov 16 17:11:32 cool. Nov 16 17:12:14 * VoodooZ adds stuff to his notes...
