**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun May 18 02:59:57 2008
May 18 03:28:41 * rwhitby now mounts /opt from nfs
May 18 03:33:21 <rwhitby> busybox wget works
May 18 03:33:35 <tonymy01> ahh yeah, there were a few things i had to remove because of re_exec
May 18 03:33:50 <tonymy01> Rod, what changes did you find from my source to the orig?
May 18 03:34:25 <tonymy01> because this all started by me wanting an improved busybox for my asus router
May 18 03:35:12 <tonymy01> and when i compiled one up relatively simply (a few changes only), I decided to try the Wiz toolchain and see what I could knock out for the wiz, but there were quite a few compile errors that i had to work thru
May 18 03:35:52 <tonymy01> i used the same busybox folder that i was working on for the asus too, so it may have one or two commented out bits because of the asus
May 18 03:39:33 <rwhitby> tonymy01: http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk/sources/busybox/ now contains your busybox patch and defconfig
May 18 03:40:36 <tonymy01> yeah, i had to remove the -r flags as the linking wasn't working for the cross compiler
May 18 03:41:09 <rwhitby> our optware  busybox compiling guru (eno) is going to take a look at it
May 18 03:41:39 <tonymy01> oh, oops
May 18 03:42:23 <tonymy01> i had to rename re_exec re_execnew and change the call to it, because the toolchain already defines re_exec and it wouldn't compile with 2 defs of that
May 18 03:42:29 <rwhitby> yep
May 18 03:43:03 <rwhitby> just checked in a cleaned up version
May 18 03:43:38 <tonymy01> wow, actually, after all the changes i tried to get it working, there ended up being next to no changes looking at the patch!
May 18 03:43:41 <rwhitby> I'll set up the nslu2-linux optware repo so that openwiz certs will work on it, so you can modify the busybox defconfig directly
May 18 03:44:16 <rwhitby> tonymy01: I was expecting that to be the case, but didn't want to take away from all the work you'd done :-)
May 18 03:44:30 <rwhitby> (it's always more work to get a smaller patch  :-)
May 18 03:44:47 <tonymy01> see this bit:  +#define ULLONG_MAX ULONG_LONG_MAX
May 18 03:44:47 <tonymy01> +#define LLONG_MAX LONG_LONG_MAX
May 18 03:44:47 <tonymy01> +#define LLONG_MIN LONG_LONG_MIN
May 18 03:44:57 <tonymy01> This was an attempt to get it to compile in 2.95...
May 18 03:45:17 <rwhitby> so that part of the patch can be reverted?
May 18 03:45:45 <tonymy01> have a look, I commented it out with /* */
May 18 03:45:56 <rwhitby> oh, right.
May 18 03:46:22 <rwhitby> fixed
May 18 03:47:14 <tonymy01> i was going to try doing an extern re_exec, rather than rename the one in busybox, but I didn't know if they did the same thing
May 18 03:48:20 <tonymy01> and obviously you can't just call "make" to make it
May 18 03:48:34 <rwhitby> I think the other one is regular expression exec
May 18 03:48:47 <rwhitby> who can't just call make?
May 18 03:48:57 <rwhitby> (I take "make busybox" in optware at the moment to build it)
May 18 03:49:03 <rwhitby> s/take/type/
May 18 03:49:04 <tonymy01> the busybox for the wiz
May 18 03:49:13 <tonymy01> look at tonymake
May 18 03:49:18 <tonymy01> that is the way i had to call it
May 18 03:49:28 <rwhitby> sure - there is now an optware target for the wiz, which encodes in the setup what was in tonymake
May 18 03:49:37 <tonymy01> ahh, ok
May 18 03:49:40 <rwhitby> so all that stuff is now part of optware
May 18 03:50:00 <rwhitby> http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk/platforms/toolchain-openwiz.mk
May 18 03:50:13 <rwhitby> that's the toolchain definition for the optware openwiz platform
May 18 03:50:41 <tonymy01> ahh, i tried to do similar
May 18 03:50:53 <rwhitby> I'm not sure about TARGET_OS or the LIB*_VERSION variables - I have to talk to eno about those
May 18 03:50:55 <tonymy01> but didn't know how to call make with a file like this
May 18 03:51:05 <rwhitby> have you ever built optware?
May 18 03:51:22 <tonymy01> i tried exporting as shell vars, but didn't seem to work
May 18 03:51:28 <tonymy01> no
May 18 03:51:35 <rwhitby> now that you have a ubuntu machine, building optware will be trivial for you
May 18 03:51:43 <rwhitby> (since that's what we build it on)
May 18 03:52:06 <rwhitby> Here's the way to do it:
May 18 03:52:09 <rwhitby> cd /home/wiz
May 18 03:52:17 <rwhitby> wget http://www.nslu2-linux.org/Makefile
May 18 03:52:21 <rwhitby> make optware-openwiz
May 18 03:52:42 <rwhitby> the for individual packages:
May 18 03:52:47 <rwhitby> cd optware/openwiz
May 18 03:52:51 <rwhitby> make <package>
May 18 03:52:53 <rwhitby> or:
May 18 03:52:58 <rwhitby> make <package>-ipk
May 18 03:55:30 <rwhitby> that gives you access to almost 1000 packages to build ...
May 18 03:55:44 <rwhitby> many of which will work out of the box
May 18 03:56:20 <tonymy01> ok...  i typically trudge around looking for source and then export shell vars, and compile individually
May 18 03:56:38 <rwhitby> your life is about to get much easier then ...
May 18 03:56:47 <tonymy01> lol
May 18 03:58:28 <tonymy01> ok, chugging away
May 18 03:59:09 <tonymy01> actually, how much d/l will happen for " make optware-openwiz"?
May 18 03:59:11 <rwhitby> note that I haven't merged the defconfig for busybox yet,
May 18 03:59:19 <rwhitby> oh, *lots*.
May 18 03:59:24 <tonymy01> crap..
May 18 03:59:28 <rwhitby> just kill it after it starts compiling the first package
May 18 03:59:30 <tonymy01> i only have a few gig left
May 18 03:59:34 <rwhitby> then just build individual packages
May 18 03:59:56 <rwhitby> it handles dependencies automatically
May 18 04:00:14 <tonymy01> nice setup really!
May 18 04:00:36 <rwhitby> it's three years old, so it's been fairly well tuned :-)
May 18 04:00:53 <rwhitby> and you can use it to build new packages for the slug and other targets too
May 18 04:00:58 <rwhitby> (e.g. your asus router)
May 18 04:01:16 <rwhitby> we support about 15 or so different NAS and router devices
May 18 04:01:21 <rwhitby> (and now 1 PVR too)
May 18 04:01:21 <tonymy01> unfort asuswrt was never made for this router
May 18 04:01:31 <rwhitby> which one is it?
May 18 04:01:35 <tonymy01> as it has broadcom binaries
May 18 04:01:39 <tonymy01> wl600g
May 18 04:01:45 <rwhitby> we support openwrt and also oleg's firmware
May 18 04:01:58 <rwhitby> hmm - dunno about the wl600g though.
May 18 04:02:00 <tonymy01> the wl500g is the one
May 18 04:02:08 <tonymy01> nothing exists for wl600g
May 18 04:02:13 <tonymy01> it has adsl built in
May 18 04:02:20 <rwhitby> note that optware doesn't require custom firmware - most packages are built to work on the vendor firmware (e.g. like the wiz)
May 18 04:02:55 <tonymy01> and about 8 or 9 binaries that get sucked in during the build process (asus at least provided the full toolchain and source for anything not broadcom specific)
May 18 04:03:20 <rwhitby> oh, we can probably support it in optware then
May 18 04:03:38 <rwhitby> as long as you've got a toolchain, and a way to mount /opt, then we can usually do it
May 18 04:04:04 <tonymy01> now, who is game to try making a kernel for the Wiz :-)
May 18 04:04:29 <tonymy01> would be nice to get ext support
May 18 04:05:07 <tonymy01> then i can partition the hdd and/or run the filesystem from an external drive properly
May 18 04:11:42 <tonymy01> it works!  Just built ntpclient in 2seconds :-)
May 18 04:12:37 <tonymy01> i didn't do it as root either
May 18 04:12:41 <rwhitby> heh
May 18 04:12:44 <tonymy01> taking your advice
May 18 04:13:09 <tonymy01> i mean building wiz packages works easily now
May 18 04:13:19 <rwhitby> looks like you'll have some fun this arvo working out which packages build and run and which don't :-)
May 18 04:13:37 <tonymy01> it is a nice day outside, i might have a bike ride
May 18 04:13:46 <rwhitby> Look in make/template.mk for how to package up a new app
May 18 04:14:07 <rwhitby> Look for myself or eno in #nslu2-linux if you get stuck.
May 18 04:14:20 <tonymy01> thanks for the nfs tip, works like a dream
May 18 04:14:33 <tonymy01> i thought it was just a quirk with the toolchain or busybox source
May 18 04:16:33 <tonymy01> hmm, actually, it doesn't work on the wiz though
May 18 04:16:39 <tonymy01> # ./ntpclient
May 18 04:16:40 <tonymy01> ntpclient: applet not found
May 18 04:16:53 <rwhitby> is your busybox in /opt/bin/busybox?
May 18 04:17:01 <tonymy01> i was getting this error when i didn't compile wth the -wl,-elf2flt flags
May 18 04:17:18 <tonymy01> yes
May 18 04:17:41 <tonymy01> i compiled ntpclient from optware, a seperate package
May 18 04:17:43 <rwhitby> ok, could be an optware toolchain setup error
May 18 04:18:30 <tonymy01> this was what took me a while to work out with the busybox compiling, because i thought the make would be smart enough to see the cross compile environ and use the right LD flags... I was wrong
May 18 04:18:32 <rwhitby> some packages don't pass down the ldflags correctly
May 18 04:20:22 <rwhitby> ok, commited the fix for ntpclient.
May 18 04:20:39 <rwhitby> cd /home/wiz/optware ; svn up ; cd openwiz ; make ntpclient
May 18 04:20:41 <tonymy01> what was the prob
May 18 04:20:54 <rwhitby> ntpclient.mk wasn't passing in LDFLAGS like it should
May 18 04:21:25 <rwhitby> http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/8347
May 18 04:21:35 <tonymy01> you are fast!
May 18 04:22:08 <rwhitby> that will be a common error we'll need to fix, since most other platforms don't need special LDFLAGS, so the packagers have been lazy and not passed it down
May 18 04:22:39 <tonymy01> ok, i see what you added, simply LDFLAGS=$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)
May 18 04:22:40 <rwhitby> BTW, you should join #nslu2-linux so you can see the CIA commit messages for optware
May 18 04:25:02 <tonymy01> bingo, compiles and runs on the wiz now
May 18 04:25:36 <tonymy01> (I actually compiled this one 3 months ago and have been using it to update the wiz manual time from an ntp server... well, at least the wiz GMT time)
May 18 04:25:51 <tonymy01> # ./ntpclient
May 18 04:25:52 <tonymy01> Usage: ./ntpclient [-c count] [-d] [-g goodness] -h hostname [-i interval]
May 18 04:25:52 <tonymy01>         [-l] [-p port] [-r] [-s]
May 18 04:26:25 <rwhitby> have you been able to get tar to work in busybox?
May 18 04:26:33 <tonymy01> yes, it works fine
May 18 04:26:46 <tonymy01> # tar
May 18 04:26:47 <tonymy01> BusyBox v1.10.2 (2008-05-16 20:42:49 EST) multi-call binary
May 18 04:26:47 <tonymy01> Usage: tar -[czjxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...
May 18 04:26:57 <rwhitby> have you tried untarring anything?
May 18 04:27:02 <tonymy01> yes
May 18 04:27:23 <tonymy01> i tar big things up to transfer to the wiz
May 18 04:27:36 <rwhitby> # tar tvf hello_2.3-1_arm.ipk
May 18 04:27:36 <rwhitby> tar: exec failed: No such file or directory
May 18 04:27:36 <rwhitby> tar: short read
May 18 04:27:54 <tonymy01> there is no exec in the wiz
May 18 04:28:02 <rwhitby> yeah, I know.
May 18 04:28:04 <tonymy01> hmm, yes there is
May 18 04:28:26 <tonymy01> well, in mine there seems to b
May 18 04:28:57 <tonymy01> i have my path now as:
May 18 04:29:04 <tonymy01> PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/flash/bin
May 18 04:29:21 <tonymy01> exported as the 2nd line in rc.local
May 18 04:29:29 <rwhitby> yeah, same here
May 18 04:29:50 <tonymy01> this is my line:   PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/flash/bin; export PATH
May 18 04:30:01 <tonymy01> so, which busybox are you using?
May 18 04:30:09 <rwhitby> the optware built one
May 18 04:30:29 <tonymy01> so if you type "help", does it show exec as a built in command?
May 18 04:30:30 <rwhitby> can you test it on yours and the optware built one?
May 18 04:30:47 <rwhitby> ah, no.
May 18 04:31:04 <tonymy01> mine:  Built-in commands:
May 18 04:31:04 <tonymy01> -------------------
May 18 04:31:04 <tonymy01>         . : break cd continue eval exec exit export help login newgrp
May 18 04:31:04 <tonymy01>         read readonly set shift times trap umask wait [ basename busybox
May 18 04:31:04 <tonymy01>         cat chmod cp date dd echo env false fdisk free hostname ifconfig
May 18 04:31:05 <tonymy01>         init insmod kill killall ln login ls md5sum mkdir mknod mount
May 18 04:31:07 <tonymy01>         msh mv ps reboot rm rmdir sh sleep telnetd test touch true udhcpc
May 18 04:31:09 <tonymy01>         umount vi
May 18 04:31:32 <tonymy01> hmm, it still has insmod in there.. I thought I removed that
May 18 04:32:36 <tonymy01> how do you have optware deal with the different .configs of the different system?
May 18 04:32:45 <rwhitby> ah, hang on - the shell has exec, yes.
May 18 04:33:17 <rwhitby> help is for /bin/sh
May 18 04:33:34 <rwhitby> which is the beyonwiz busybox
May 18 04:33:35 <tonymy01> ahh, ok
May 18 04:33:48 <tonymy01> that is strange then, as it supports exec
May 18 04:34:07 <tonymy01> actually, no, i remember a much shorter list than that the other day
May 18 04:34:57 <tonymy01> # /opt/bin/sh
May 18 04:34:57 <tonymy01>  
May 18 04:34:57 <tonymy01>  
May 18 04:34:57 <tonymy01> BusyBox v1.10.2 (2008-05-16 20:42:49 EST) built-in shell (msh)
May 18 04:34:57 <tonymy01> Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
May 18 04:34:58 <tonymy01>  
May 18 04:35:00 <tonymy01> root:/tmp/mnt/nfs> help
May 18 04:35:02 <tonymy01>  
May 18 04:35:04 <tonymy01> Built-in commands:
May 18 04:35:06 <tonymy01> -------------------
May 18 04:35:08 <tonymy01>         . : break cd continue eval exec exit export help login newgrp
May 18 04:35:10 <tonymy01>         read readonly set shift times trap umask wait
May 18 04:35:12 <tonymy01> i am remembering things in reverse it seems
May 18 04:35:53 <rwhitby> for the defconfigs, we merge most things, and then have OPTWARE_TARGET overrides for the rest
May 18 04:36:45 <rwhitby> ah, and overnight eno has added a feature where defconfig.<target> will be used if it exists in the sources/busybox directory
May 18 04:37:36 <rwhitby> so we just edit defconfig.openwiz and we're done
May 18 04:38:38 <rwhitby> (if you were in #nslu2-linux you would have just seen my commit)
May 18 04:40:46 <rwhitby> svn up and busybox should build out of the box now
May 18 04:41:05 <tonymy01> do you need me to check out the optware busybox to see if the tar/exec is ok?
May 18 04:41:19 <rwhitby> yes please - compare it against your home-built one
May 18 04:41:59 <tonymy01> one thing i couldn't add for the wiz was large file support.   the compiler would spit
May 18 04:44:24 <tonymy01> optware busybox build failed
May 18 04:44:39 <tonymy01> miscutils/eject.c:30:21: scsi/sg.h: No such file or directory

May 18 04:44:39 <tonymy01> miscutils/eject.c: In function `eject_scsi':
May 18 04:44:53 <rwhitby> did you svn up first?
May 18 04:45:09 <tonymy01> hmm
May 18 04:45:16 <rwhitby> it should have moved defconfig-openwiz to defconfig.openwiz, and then the busybox.mk uses that one instead
May 18 04:45:31 <rwhitby> you need to svn up at the top level of optware
May 18 04:45:38 <rwhitby> one level above the openwiz dir
May 18 04:46:03 <tonymy01> man, i didn't even think it had d/l the source for that yet
May 18 04:46:44 <rwhitby> ?
May 18 04:47:12 <tonymy01> i assumed "make busybox" was also downloading the source for it as i have not yet made it
May 18 04:47:22 <rwhitby> yes, it should
May 18 04:47:23 <tonymy01> hence not needing to svn
May 18 04:47:38 <rwhitby> you need svn to pick up the changes I made to optware
May 18 04:48:01 <tonymy01> i thought you made specific busybox changes only?
May 18 04:48:26 <rwhitby> yes, to the optware sources/busybox dir (which is not the busybox sources, but the optware extra files for busybox)
May 18 04:48:55 <tonymy01> ok...
May 18 04:48:58 <tonymy01> it built anyway
May 18 04:49:02 <tonymy01> now to try
May 18 04:51:28 <tonymy01> works fine
May 18 04:51:42 <rwhitby> hmm - maybe the .ipk is not a tar format

May 18 04:52:21 <rwhitby> can you join the #nslu2-linux channel?
May 18 04:53:09 <rwhitby> did you see the commit?
May 18 04:53:37 <tonymy01> yes, it is still there
May 18 04:54:02 <rwhitby> I waited till you joined before committing
May 18 04:54:02 <tonymy01> how is that possible, given you recommited 20mins ago or so?
May 18 04:54:07 <tonymy01> ahh
May 18 04:54:28 <rwhitby> http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/timeline shows you the timeline
May 18 04:54:38 <tonymy01> now, does the syslogd work?
May 18 04:54:41 <rwhitby> bzhou is eno
May 18 04:55:59 <tonymy01> thanks
May 18 04:56:13 <rwhitby> # busybox tail -f /var/log/messages
May 18 04:56:14 <rwhitby> May 17 22:55:47 dpx1 syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.10.2
May 18 04:56:30 <tonymy01> are you slowly ticking on extra packages for bb?   I was a bit tentative to turn everything on
May 18 04:56:52 <rwhitby> first thing I'm going to do is converge the current optware config and your config.
May 18 04:57:01 <rwhitby> (so the differences are small)
May 18 04:57:17 <rwhitby> then any new ones get enabled in all optware targets
May 18 04:57:46 <tonymy01> notice i ditched the /usr idea too
May 18 04:57:54 <tonymy01> too many paths to have to worry about adding
May 18 04:58:05 <rwhitby> yeah, optware ditched that early on
May 18 04:59:56 <rwhitby> # syslogd -O /opt/var/log/messages
May 18 05:00:12 <rwhitby> (/opt is on NFS, so now I get persistent off-device logs of what's happening)
May 18 05:03:06 <tonymy01> anything interesting get logged?
May 18 05:03:33 <rwhitby> just updating rc.local to run them asap so I can see :-)
May 18 05:04:08 <tonymy01> ok, 3pm already, bbl
May 18 07:09:57 <rwhitby> tonymy01: tar is working now - I must have had something wrong
May 18 07:10:06 <rwhitby> Here is my rc.local now:
May 18 07:10:22 <rwhitby> #!/bin/sh
May 18 07:10:22 <rwhitby> export PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:${PATH}
May 18 07:10:22 <rwhitby> micomparam -q -t "$ telnetd"
May 18 07:10:22 <rwhitby> /usr/sbin/telnetd -l /bin/sh &
May 18 07:10:23 <rwhitby> sleep 5
May 18 07:10:23 <rwhitby> micomparam -q -t "$ mount"
May 18 07:10:25 <rwhitby> mount -t none -o bind /tmp/mnt/idehdd/.optware /opt
May 18 07:10:27 <rwhitby> micomparam -q -t "$ netcat"
May 18 07:10:29 <rwhitby> /opt/bin/busybox nc -l -l -p 5000 -e /bin/sh &
May 18 07:10:31 <rwhitby> micomparam -q -t "$ syslogd"
May 18 07:10:33 <rwhitby> /opt/bin/busybox syslogd -O /opt/var/log/messages
May 18 07:10:35 <rwhitby> /opt/bin/busybox klogd

May 18 07:10:39 <rwhitby> mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.15.2:/media/sdb4/optware /opt 2>&1 >> /opt/var/log/bootlog

May 18 07:10:43 <rwhitby> micomparam -q -t "$ optware"
May 18 07:12:10 <Yuv422> do you need the sleep 5?
May 18 07:12:23 <Yuv422> is that waiting for the HDD to mount
May 18 07:12:26 <Yuv422> in wizdvp?
May 18 07:12:27 <rwhitby> yes
May 18 07:12:32 <Yuv422> righto
May 18 07:12:33 <rwhitby> I haven't tried without it.
May 18 07:13:05 <rwhitby> I needed the ifconfig in there cause whatever does the dhcp doesn't do it quick enough
May 18 07:14:02 <Yuv422> do you have symlink issues?
May 18 07:14:10 <Yuv422> running off the wizfs drive?
May 18 07:15:27 <rwhitby> yes, that's why I remount /opt from nfs
May 18 07:16:01 <Yuv422> ah yes
May 18 07:18:05 <Yuv422> could you run on the wizfs drive with shell scripts instead of symlinks?
May 18 07:34:11 <rwhitby> probably
May 18 07:34:31 <rwhitby> for development it's easier to mount it nfs
May 18 07:43:08 <tonymy01> i setup busybox with shell scripts for the wiz hdd
May 18 07:43:21 <tonymy01> but with symlinks on the nfs drive
May 18 07:43:44 <tonymy01> so i have it both ways, as sometimes i don't launch my ubuntu VM, and still want to telnet
May 18 07:50:36 <rwhitby> yeah, I'll probably do the same
May 18 07:51:04 <rwhitby> perhaps we can put in a custom version of 'ln' which just writes a shell script instead
May 18 07:51:06 <tonymy01> the hogwarts machine has both installs
May 18 07:51:29 <tonymy01> busybox make install supports both methods, symlinks and shell scripts
May 18 07:51:40 <tonymy01> for its applets i mean
May 18 08:07:39 <rwhitby> I
May 18 08:07:47 <rwhitby> will make two packages
May 18 08:08:01 <rwhitby> busybox-links and busybox-scripts
May 18 11:59:35 <rwhitby> tonymy01: not a peep in syslog from any beyonwiz stuff in 5 hours.
