[05:02] <julumme> hi,
[05:02] <julumme> I wonder if I could get some advice here, regaring Ubuntu on Beagleboard
[05:02] <julumme> I'm currently running "Robert Nelsons" ubuntu image, and everything seems to work more or less
[05:03] <julumme> my target is to operate serial infrared trasnceiver on the BB, and for that I chose ubuntu as I saw that lirc was there already in apt
[05:03] <julumme> however, dpkg-reconfigure complains that it can't compile as I don't have kernel sources installed
[05:05] <julumme> I don't really know how to compile natively on BB/ubuntu, or how could I cross compile kernel modules on a x86
[05:07] <julumme> so I guess I would like to know what someone who understands how these things should be done, suggest to do
[05:08] <julumme> I tried an official headless image 11.04, but I was unable to get network working on that one (I could not see eth0 nor usb0 at all)
[05:08] <julumme> it would have enabled me to easily download kernel sources through apt, I guess
[05:34] <julumme> anyone ?
[06:05] <erbo> julumme: I think the build-essential package should give you the tools you need to compile things on your BB
[06:05] <julumme> oh, I see
[06:06] <erbo> But I don't know where you can get a package with the kernel source for Robert Nelson's kernel
[06:07] <julumme> there is a link in the Nelson's wiki, where I could get the kernel sources for compiling myself - silly question: so if I git those to my BB, would I then be able to compile lirc against those sourecs ?
[06:09] <julumme> I guess what I really need, is just the headers and binaries to link against ?
[06:09] <julumme> sorry for such simple questions, it's all a bit new to me stil
[06:09] <erbo> I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work..
[06:10] <erbo> yeah, check http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/build-linux-kernel-module-against-installed-kernel-source-tree.html
[06:11] <julumme> looks interesting, I'll read through, that - thanks
[06:11] <erbo> I don't know how good the page is, I just googled some. But it looks like it might give you some hints
[06:15] <julumme> it's all good info, I'm still pretty new to development on linux
[06:22] <julumme> the info was good indeed
[06:23] <julumme> erbo, do you happen to know what linux-libc-dev - Linux Kernel Headers for development is ?
[06:24] <julumme> I'm thinking downloading the whole source code for kernel will take ages ( and also I'm on a budget with space on the BB, as my memory card is currently only 2GB)
[06:26] <erbo> apt-cache show linux-libc-dev says: "They are NOT meant to be used to build third-party modules for your kernel. Use linux-headers-* packages for that."
[06:26] <julumme> :p
[06:27] <erbo> :)
[06:27] <julumme> ah, linux-headers-omap might be good
[06:28] <erbo> But I don't know if there's a package with the headers for your custom kernel, those are probably for the ubuntu kernel
[06:28] <julumme> mmm, I think there is no package
[06:29] <julumme> my understanding was that Nelson compiled the default kernel for arm, with some settings for BB
[06:30] <julumme> if that was the case, wouldn't it work if I had same headers ?
[06:31] <julumme> oh, looks like he used 3.0.0-x2 (?) kernel
[06:32] <julumme> apt only seems to have 2.6.xx stuff
[06:32] <erbo> yeah he's using a much never version
[06:33] <erbo> if you have the source he has used, you can just pass -C /path/to/those/sources when compiling your module
[06:33] <julumme> hmm, ok, looks like I'll have to get a usb drive or something to pull the sources
[06:33] <erbo> I'm not sure exactly what you need though
[06:34] <julumme> he has a git link to the sources
[06:34] <julumme> I'm hoping to compile lirc against his sources
[06:34] <julumme> so I could configure to use serial port
[06:34] <erbo> if your using a usb-stick you can grab the whole git and then you should be ok I think
[06:35] <erbo> s/your/you're/ :)
[06:41] <julumme> ok.. let me try that
[11:28] <julumme_> hi guys, I'm trying to compile lirc for BB/ubuntu, but I'm running into a strange problem. make fails to before any compiling is done sayng "scripts/genksyms/genksyms: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
[11:29] <julumme_> there is a pastebin of the whole thing here http://pastebin.com/x2w1VXcP
[12:08] <satish_> what is the Hardware-accelerated player for ARM Board ?
[16:33] <GrueMaster> satish_: ???
[16:33] <GrueMaster> You mean gstreamer?
[16:54] <rajendra_> Hi ogra_
[16:54] <rajendra_> Need info regarding USBOTG
[17:11] <utlemming> Anyone farmiliar with using omap kernels and qemu?
[17:58] <austeregrim-wr> has ogra_ released an image for the toshiba device?
