| Ford_Prefect | Greetings folks | 12:51 |
|---|---|---|
| Ford_Prefect | I'm trying to build an Ubuntu-based distribution for an ARMv7 board from source | 12:51 |
| Ford_Prefect | Is there some documentation on how the current armel repositories are built that I can use as a starting point? | 12:51 |
| ogra | they are built natively on armel buildds as any other ubuntu arch, currently defaulting to ARMv5 soon defaulting to ARMv6+vfp | 12:53 |
| Ford_Prefect | ogra, ah, okay. I'd imagined they'd be cross-compiled. | 12:56 |
| Ford_Prefect | But that's not too easy, since not everything cross-compiles easily | 12:56 |
| ogra | right | 12:57 |
| Ford_Prefect | Erm, any handly links on doing this on the board? | 12:57 |
| ogra | i dont think so, largely its just "set up an instance of sbuild or launchpad-buildd" and be done | 12:58 |
| Ford_Prefect | Okay thanks - good enough starting point for me too Google. :) | 12:59 |
| Ford_Prefect | (and thanks for rootstock - currently trying it out here) | 12:59 |
| ogra | :) | 13:00 |
| ogra | its darn slow, i'm waiting for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/401782 to be fixed to build something faster | 13:00 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 401782 in qemu "please build a static version of qemu-arm 0.11.x in a separate binary deb" [Wishlist,New] | 13:00 |
| * Ford_Prefect waits eagerly. :) | 13:03 | |
| Ford_Prefect | ogra, I don't suppose there are armv6+vfp binaries available yet? | 13:05 |
| ogra | nope, we're in the process to replace the buildds with v7 machines | 13:06 |
| ogra | before these are there we cant build for v6 | 13:06 |
| Ford_Prefect | Nice. What kind of machines do you guys use? | 13:06 |
| ogra | currently some marvell v5 ones, the new ones are still under evaluation but will likely be imx51 based | 13:07 |
| Ford_Prefect | Ah, okay. | 13:08 |

| lool | ogra: I'm not too surprized that the fargile jaunty hacks don't survive the switch to gcc 4.4 | 14:55 |
| ogra | well, looks more like a binutils issue though | 14:55 |
| ogra | i mean the error comes from ld | 14:55 |
| ogra | but yeah | 14:56 |
| ogra | thats a bit odd, i was hoping to just apply the new patchset on top | 14:56 |
| ogra | but that whole build process is so screwed | 14:56 |
| ogra | i wish he had just taken the time to properly port it to build natively even if that would have taken a month | 14:57 |
| Martyn- | ogra : Which component? | 15:01 |
| ogra | redboot | 15:02 |
| lool | ogra: Well perhaps you can look into it | 15:02 |
| ogra | lool, yeah, thats what i'm doing ... but i know he had something nearly done and it really annoys me to duplicate work | 15:03 |
| ogra | though given he is unreachable that wont help | 15:03 |
| Martyn- | ogra : I'm still in the middle of evaluating UEFI | 15:13 |
| Martyn- | ogra : I have a working u-boot though | 15:14 |
| Martyn- | ogra : Are you really going to go through the whole trouble of getting eCos to build natively, and then redboot? | 15:16 |

| xbox | hi there ;) | 17:50 |
| xbox | everyone on holiday? | 17:51 |
| ogra | you wish | 17:52 |
| xbox | hehe LOL | 17:55 |
| xbox | he but is this channel also used for slug questions? | 17:56 |
| ogra | you can, but its not massively used anymore anywhere in the team, we switch to ARMv6 in karmic which wont work on the slug | 17:57 |
| xbox | okay maybe you can give/provide me a hint .... I tried to load the "di-nslu2.bin " image for runnin debian but I can not login could it be that my slug did not reach the upgrade mode ? or just typing in the wrong password? | 18:00 |
| xbox | hi ericm | 18:01 |
