ttxHey guys, I have an armel build failure at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wesnoth/1:1.6.2-1ubuntu1/+build/107986108:57
ttxBoils down to "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"08:57
ttxAny hint on how I could debug that ?08:57
kblinno c compiler installed?08:57
ttxkblin: that's on an armel buildd so I suppose there is build-essential installed :)08:58
persiaMaybe related to the recent binutils upload?  I heard a rumour that there were increased build failures on all non-x86 hardware.08:58
kblingood point, I see the line where gcc 4 is installed08:58
kblindoesn't the ubuntu build system do something like "cat config.log" if configure fails?08:59
ttxkblin: unfortunately, not :)08:59
persiaAdding cat config.log would be something someone could do in debian/rules to debug something.08:59
kblinbecause that's where I'd start08:59
ttxpersia/kblin: I'll see if the rumour confirms itself and if not, do some debian/rules instrumentation in my PPA09:00
ttxthanks09:00
persiattx, If your PPA has non-x86 :)09:01
persiaOtherwise, I'd recommend looking for some hardware or virtualisation environment.09:01
kblinqemu-arm works ok..09:01
persia(it shouldn't take that long to get to ./configure, even in low memory-limited qemu-system-arm)09:01
ttxok, I'll look into that.09:01
kblinif you get past the random installer hangs09:02
kblinthough I didn't try 9.10 there09:02
ttxlooking at the buildd logs at https://launchpad.net/builders/nageia/+history it might just make sense to retry the build.09:04
ttxall builds are currently failing09:05
kblinouch09:05
kblinI agree, given that all of those fail a couple of minutes into the build, with configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables :)09:06
loologra: build-arm-rootfs is a huge success; I keep reading about it in various places; I wish it would become a real project though: source code control, new features, bug reports and the like12:13
ograits in the works12:14
loologra: Could you make that happen?  I'm happy to contribute if it's in some shared place12:14
ograi'm currently pondering how to integrate oem-config properly12:14
ograhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-arm-karmic-offline-installer-gui :)12:14
ograi want to get over the script in the qemu instance and use proper tools ...12:15
ograi'll put a branch up today12:15
ograand prepare a package before end of the week12:15
loolOk, cool12:19
loologra: e.g. 53052.124.124.219.226.1245156274.squirrel@iwavesystems.com12:21
loologra: With time, I'm starting to think we could use an ubuntu-arm@ ML, and perhaps a LP team12:22
loolWe have a release out of the door, will support more SoCs and get more enthusiasts over time which use Ubuntu as a base12:22
ograyeah, fully agreed12:23
ograi'm getting chased down by a guy on ubuntu-users@ about his arm probs since weeks, he alone would have filled such a list since UDS :)12:24
ogralool, there you go https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder ... i'll create a maintainer team (or hand it to a newly created LP ubuntu-arm team) later12:33
ograhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder/trunk will have it with the next publisher run (i already pushed)12:34
loologra: Hmm consider naming things without ARM12:35
* ogra sees lool answered savita on ubuntu-devel ... 12:35
loologra: only to one of the two questions12:36
ograhe is the guy i try to educate on ubuntu-users i mentioned above12:36
ograyes, i answered all of his questions several times already12:36
ograhe asks them over and over and doesnt understand12:36
loolThat sucks12:36
ograyeah12:37
ograwell, thats the nature of ubuntu-users@ .... i asked him several times to come here, but he didnt find his way yet12:37
ograin a one to one IRC conversation i'm sure he would get his imx31 system up and running fast12:38
loologra: Back to ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder, I think the approach would work very well with other use cases such as mips or even i386, so it would be nice to not use arm in the name :)12:38
* lool lunch &12:38
ograwell, its initially written for armel only :)12:38
ograi can rename it if qemu grows support for other arches we support with it12:39
ogra(usb-imagewriter supports SD cards too, but i wouldnt rename it to be just imagewriter (to generic) or usb-and-sd-imagewriter (to long)) :)12:41
playyasometimes its better to post in on a ML. then the recipient can read it again and again12:53
loologra: qemu-system-<tab>  :)12:56
loologra: The thing is that it's going to be hard to rename later when it's referenced, and it's not hard to make it generic12:57
ogralool, any suggestions ?13:25
ograplayya, well, he asks the same question within five mails he sends within 15min at that speed IRC is more convenient13:26
ogragrmbl, indeed you can change everything but the url of the LP project13:31
loologra: Well rootfs-builder, or some cool project name13:32
loolargo!13:33
ograso should i register a new project ?13:33
loologra: I think you can rename it13:33
ograargo?13:33
ograi can rename everything but the initial url i picked13:33
playyaassisted rootfs gold obtainer13:33
loologra: Yeah, just a code name, and as you started it, agro sounded good  :)13:33
ograheh13:34
playyacan some of you poke the bzr guys to implement git import, please.13:34
ograpfft git13:35
loolAnother Rootfs Growing Oddball13:35
loolplayya: That's done?13:35
ogralool, i can change everything in the details page, but not the project url, so i need to create a new one or leave the url but change the rest13:35
loologra: Really?13:36
ograyeah13:36
playyalool, i can't pull git sources into LP13:36
ograhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder/+edit doesnt offer to change "ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder"13:36
playyaand i want to have several projects. not only branches *hides*13:37
ograplayya, no, you need to convert the git tree to something sane (i.e. bzr) and then you can push13:37
loolplayya: I think you can now13:37
loologra: I think it's a separate action, like rename project13:37
loologra: Otherwise, you can simply file a question to ask for the change13:38
playyaok. I'll test it when i finished the debian dirs for the core stuff13:38
loolhttps://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/8299 example13:38
* ogra checks13:38
loolCrap, I can't easily find a project I own13:39
loolUlteo PC Virtualization Seminars: ?550 for the whole day13:42
lool550 EUR!13:42
ografun13:42
ograhow about "jarb"13:46
ogra(just a rootfs builder" :)13:46
playyaor just another ...13:48
ograjaurb probably, since its written for ubuntu only (yet)13:49
loologra: Well argo had the advantage of being ogra in reverse  ;-)13:49
ograyeah, but no meaning at all :)13:50
loolI like jarb13:50
playyais anyone working on a graphical image builder?13:50
loolSimple, short, to the point, catchy13:50
ograjarb is an abbreviation :)13:50
loolI hope it's not an insult in some language13:50
ograplayya, i am :) https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-arm-karmic-offline-installer-gui13:50
loolplayya: See, that's the kind of things we could do if we had some common project13:50
loolI personally thought it would rock to have it in python, or integrated in uvb, but this is all rather futuristic  ;)13:51
ograyeah, and really a lot crappy overhead13:51
playyavala vala vala13:52
ograi want a gui to select the options and then it should launch oem-config from inside qemu13:52
ograand i dont want to rewrite it in python :)13:52
* ogra considers calling it kxvlpm03582 ... thats surely not an insult in any language :)13:54
ograand as good to pronounce as the renamed screen-profile project :)13:55
ograwhich gets me an idea ... persia any nice japanese suggestion for naming ubuntu-arm-roofs-builder ?13:58
ogra(japanese seems to be the current hype)13:59
playyacall it anata wa rootf builder14:00
playyaif i remember my japanese course correctly14:00
ograawrb ?14:00
dpbawrb sounds like something written in ruby14:02
ograawrb.sh :)14:02
loolargh no, not .sh!14:03
ograargh ... "arm rootfs generation helper"14:06
ogra;)14:07
ograor s/arm/another/ ... as you like14:07
persiaogra, 根作 (but I'm not sure how to pronounce it)15:05
ograis there an utf8 able equivalent i can use for LP ?15:06
* persia tries a couple things15:06
persianesaku probably isn't horridly wrong.15:07
ograsounds good15:08
ograwhat does it mean exactly ?15:08
persiaMeaning is roughly "The harvesting of the source/basis" or "root build"15:08
ograperfect15:08
ogralool, ^^^^^15:08
persiaCopy it to http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B for a closer gloss.15:09
persiait's not a normal compound, just one I cobbled up (so not an actual Japanese word or anything)15:09
persiaogra, Do let me know if you're seriously considering it: I'll ask in #ubuntu-jp15:19
ograwell, sounds better than all former suggestions yet15:20
ogralool seems asleep though ... or has no opinion ...15:20
persiaasleep at this hour?15:20
ograheh15:20
loola) I'm not asleep, just deep in a context and avoiding switches  :-)   b) I'm getting a headache  c) I disable beeping anyway!15:57
loologra: A non-feature-bound term is fine by me!15:58
ograso lets go with "nesaku"15:58
loolAs long as you don't name the project ogra's-arm-and-ubuntu-only-shell-rootfs-tarball-builder, it's going to work15:59
ogranah, that would be to short15:59
ograbut probably nesaku.sh ?15:59
* ogra hides15:59
loolNice try16:01
ogra:)16:01
persiaogra, Let me see if anyone in jp is still awake, to avoid making a silly mistake.16:12
persiaogra, #ubuntu-jp folk say not to use that name.  It creates a reminder of farmers in olden times.  I have no good suggestions.16:40
loologra: nesaku-(not-the-old-farmers)16:41
persiaheh.  No.16:41
ograheh16:41
