Jul 19 00:44:34 <fgordon> HELLO
Jul 19 00:44:41 <fgordon> ups
Jul 19 00:44:44 <fgordon> hello
Jul 19 00:44:46 <fgordon> :-)
Jul 19 00:45:36 <fgordon> anyone around?
Jul 19 00:50:39 <pepesz76> some ppl are :)
Jul 19 00:50:59 <fgordon> hi
Jul 19 00:51:52 <pepesz76> hi
Jul 19 00:51:52 <fgordon> I've found my nslu2 again and would want to know if it is possible to write own progs for it
Jul 19 00:52:45 <fgordon> most Im worried about is if the needed header files are available
Jul 19 00:53:03 <pepesz76> have something particular in mind ?
Jul 19 00:53:03 <fgordon> as far as I've read compiling on the nslu2 itself is possible
Jul 19 00:53:43 <fgordon> I'm needing only quite very basic stuff like sys/socket.h
Jul 19 00:53:53 <rwhitby> fgordon: we usually cross compile
Jul 19 00:54:01 <fgordon> and <netinet/in.h>
Jul 19 00:54:37 <rwhitby> but it is possible to natively compile if you are willing to get your hands really dirty and not expect things to be polished like a normal linux distribution
Jul 19 00:54:40 <fgordon> yes but my app is quite small so it would be probalby too much effort to setup a whole cross dev ;-)
Jul 19 00:55:42 <fgordon> my code is at the moment quite simple so I think a native compile would be ok - at least for the moment
Jul 19 00:56:51 <fgordon> but are the header files on a modified nslu2 also available?
Jul 19 00:58:35 <fgordon> I'm using opensuse on my other computers so I think a whole cross compiling dev would mean a lot of effort just to compile 1 C-file with ~ 700 lines only
Jul 19 01:00:00 <rwhitby> what firmware are you going to be running on the nslu2?
Jul 19 01:01:31 <fgordon> hmmmm I'm not that sure about it - would prefer a very minimalistic one
Jul 19 01:02:33 <fgordon> I want to use it as some sort of password server   so no sama or other stuff is needed
Jul 19 01:02:37 <fgordon> samba
Jul 19 01:03:05 <fgordon> just a linux core system with network capabilities
Jul 19 01:41:59 <fgordon> hmmmm I've read it is possible to use the flash file sys for a very tiny prog too?
Jul 19 01:42:32 <fgordon> so I probably don't have to use a memstick/harddisk at all?
