Nov 13 03:02:11 <nslu2-noob>  should the reset to defaults button work on an NSLU2 with UnSlung firmware?
Nov 13 03:02:21 <nslu2-noob> physical button on back of unit
Nov 13 04:28:09 <Flipo> Hello, anyone using btpd on the nslu2 ?
Nov 13 19:12:06 <johang> is ipkg.nslu2-linux.org mirrored somewhere?
Nov 13 22:33:16 <Hrundik41> Hello, I'm trying to build latest Transmission for mipsel, it seems that some has supported the package but then abandoned it
Nov 13 22:33:41 <Hrundik41> I use toolchain from the latest openwrt
Nov 13 22:34:01 <Hrundik41> and get the following error: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 8)
Nov 13 22:35:19 <Hrundik41> Does anyone has ideas accroding this? If there is someone who knows how to cross build programs and willing to help it'll be great
Nov 13 22:35:30 <Hrundik41> i'm struggling with it for 2 days already
Nov 13 22:36:47 <eno> if you're using optware, then you should follow http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware
Nov 13 22:37:35 <eno> the page has instruction on how to setup for different targets
Nov 13 22:39:06 <Hrundik41> basicly i wanted to compile it on my linux box and then simply copy it to my wl-700ge. i think making a new package is way too complicated for a newb
Nov 13 22:40:22 <eno> maybe the page name is a little misleading, the first few steps are how to setup cross build environment
Nov 13 22:40:36 <eno> you can ignore the "adding new package" part
Nov 13 22:41:33 <eno> at least the instruction is there, actually it's not very complicated
Nov 13 22:42:31 <eno> getting your own toolchain and building the package from scratch definitely is more time consuming
Nov 13 22:42:59 <Hrundik41> i don't want to fetch all the optware packages - there are too many. And the way suggested there (svn checkout) does download all the packages
Nov 13 22:43:08 <Hrundik41> i just need working toolchain
Nov 13 22:43:16 <eno> you don't need to
Nov 13 22:43:40 <eno> svn just get all the makefiles for all the packages
Nov 13 22:44:12 <Hrundik41> aah, ok, i'll give it a try
Nov 13 22:44:30 <Hrundik41> thank you!
Nov 13 22:44:42 <eno> good luck
Nov 13 22:45:10 <eno> don't type "make" or "make all"
Nov 13 22:45:27 <eno> use "make foo" instead
Nov 13 22:45:34 <eno> then you'll only build foo
Nov 13 22:48:23 <Hrundik41> as i understand, make oleg-target would build a toolchain
Nov 13 22:50:23 <eno> "make oleg-target" under optware; cd oleg; make directories ipkg-utils toolchain
Nov 13 22:51:08 <eno> the "make toolchain" step will build a toolchain
Nov 13 22:51:25 <eno> after that, you can build whatever you want
Nov 13 22:52:41 <eno> "make oleg-target" just creates a bunch directories, symlink to the right place
Nov 13 22:53:08 <Hrundik41> i see now, thank you!
Nov 13 22:53:16 <Hrundik41> already compiling a toolchain ;)
Nov 13 22:53:35 <eno> great
Nov 13 23:03:28 <Hrundik41> got the following error: make[5]: Nothing to be done for `info-am'.
Nov 13 23:03:28 <Hrundik41> make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/nikita/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/buildroot/toolchain_build_mipsel/binutils-2.17.50.0.8-build/bfd'
Nov 13 23:03:28 <Hrundik41> make[4]: *** [info-recursive] Error 1
Nov 13 23:03:44 <Hrundik41> and 4  similar errors..
Nov 13 23:06:25 <eno> the above does not show the actual Error, pastebin it
Nov 13 23:09:28 <Hrundik41> http://pastebin.com/d4fbc495
Nov 13 23:14:11 <Hrundik41> how can i ask make for verbose output?
Nov 13 23:14:19 <eno> Hrundik41: i guess the error occurred even earlier
Nov 13 23:14:55 <eno> try "rm -rf toolchain/buildroot; make toolchain 2>&1 | tee toolchain.log"
Nov 13 23:15:32 <eno> once it stopped, search Error in the log
Nov 13 23:21:59 <Hrundik41> these are all the error it gives except ignored install_dev errors
Nov 13 23:23:36 <Hrundik41> make[2]: [install_dev] Error 1 (ignored)
Nov 13 23:24:11 <eno> these ignored Errors are ok
Nov 13 23:24:23 <Hrundik41> thats it
Nov 13 23:24:52 <Hrundik41> there are only pastebin'ed errors and that one in grep Error <toolchain.log
Nov 13 23:26:07 <eno> can you type "type makeinfo" ?
Nov 13 23:27:00 <Hrundik41> type: makinfo: not found
Nov 13 23:27:16 <Hrundik41> type: makeinfo: not found
Nov 13 23:27:36 <eno> probably you're missing some packages on the build machine
Nov 13 23:28:08 <eno> depends on your distro, you want to install texinfo
Nov 13 23:30:06 <Hrundik41> ok, installed it. btw, i have ubuntu
Nov 13 23:31:09 <eno> try "rm -rf toolchain/buildroot; make toolchain 2>&1 | tee toolchain.log" again
Nov 13 23:38:01 <Hrundik41> wow, seems error has gone
Nov 13 23:38:09 <Hrundik41> it downloads some new files
Nov 14 00:12:11 <Hrundik41> it takes long..
Nov 14 00:25:27 <Hrundik41> how big would toolchain be?
Nov 14 00:35:41 <eno> Hrundik41: $ du -s toolchain/[bm]*
Nov 14 00:35:41 <eno> 1869112 toolchain/buildroot
Nov 14 00:35:41 <eno> 197860  toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc
Nov 14 00:36:06 <eno> it takes quite lot of space to build, the result is around 200MB
