[12:15] <amurray> hello, i'm new to Ubuntu on ARM - i want to build a Qt application against the armhf qt libs provided in the ppa - is there a way of developing on a host machine - or is the typical way to do this natively or in qemu? is there an i386 cross qmake? it seems unnecessary to rebuild qt just for qmake?
[12:16] <amurray> in general are packages developed natively on an ARM platform or cross built?
[12:19] <infinity> amurray: How people *develop* is entirely up to them, but everything in the archive is built natively on real hardware.
[12:24] <amurray> infinity: ok thanks. i want to take the path of least resistance. if i wanted to cross-build, it doesn't appear as though there is a qt4-qmake package provided in any repository for cross building. i wondered how other packages such as kdiff3-qt would have been built, but as you say natively. that makes sense
[12:25] <ogra_> amurray, i would just do the test build as x86 builds and test on a PC ... once you have finalized code build it for arm
[12:26] <amurray> ok - or i guess develop on a host machine but NFS build on an ARM board?
[12:27] <amurray> ogra_: ^
[12:27] <infinity> Building on NFS is generally a hateful thing.
[12:27] <ogra_> yeah, just scp your code over and build via ssh
[12:27] <infinity> Unless you have perfectly matched clocks on both hosts.
[12:28] <amurray> ok thanks, and then once application is done, build a deb package and produce a rootfs using rootstock or something?
[19:05] <mark4_> seems my ubuntu install on my beagle board does not have "killall"
[19:05] <mark4_> where do i get that?
[23:01] <mark4_> i need help getting DDD to work on my beagle bone xm
[23:01] <mark4_> it runs, it just enters into an infinite "Waiting for gdb to get ready" state
[23:02] <mark4_> erm beagle board xm not bone
[23:02] <mark4_> blargh
[23:03] <mark4_> also. where the HELL is "killall" on this arm system?
[23:04] <mark4_> searching for vsllib/ddd.vsl ... /usr/share/ddd/vsib/ddd.vsl  <-- what are those?
[23:05] <mark4_> can someone please help me get ddd working on my beagle board target?
[23:05] <mark4_> i have NO freeking idea why it isnt working or how to find out why its not working
[23:05] <mark4_> strace tells me its getting EAGAIN on a socket access
[23:05] <mark4_> no idea what that socket was supposed to connect to
[23:06] <mark4_> waiting until GDB gets ready
[23:06] <mark4_> is it GDB thats screwing up?
[23:24] <OnFirst> has anyone experimented with the EC2 ARM AMI referenced at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Server ?
[23:24] <OnFirst> I'd like to expand the size of the root disk; the image is configured with an 800MB disk, which isn't enough to even install libraries
