[nslu2-linux] Re: Cross-compile toolchain

 



The build of slugosbe-image (5.5_alpha BTW) completed with no errors. I haven't actually put it into a slug yet but thought it was worth a note.
Thanks again for the assistance.

[nslu2-linux] Re: Cross-compile toolchain

 



I made the changes and after updating and running 'make setup' it started but reported missing 'chrpath' and using 'dash' instead of 'bash'. Fixed those issues and it is building the toolchain now on Ubuntu 10.10. Thanks for the help Mike.

I just checked my autobuilder -- apparently it too is suffering from the
python "msg" problem. Looks like the OE folks now require at least
version 1.10 of bitbake. So, edit the Makefile, find the two lines that
reference bitbake 1.8 versions, and change them to 1.10 and 1.10.1
respectively. I'm not sure that SlugOS will build with this new
bitbake version, though.

I'm not sure if this was an intentional change on the part of the OE
team; this happened in the past week and I don't recall seeing an
announcement from them. If it was intentional, we'll have to update the
master Makefile, I guess.

Thanks a bunch for the direction! Probably saved me a lot of pain in the process.

I'll try and give it a go with the latest snapshot and tweak the OE build to see how it goes.

You'll need a build host who age matches the 5.3 SlugOS release --
basically, the host tools (compilers, libraries, python, etc) have all
changed in ways incompatible with the Openembedded build tools from that
era.

If you're using ubuntu, I'd go back to one of the 09.xx releases, or
even the 08.xx releases (with no updates applied) and try that. For
Fedora users, I would suggest something in the range of Fedora 9 to
perhaps Fedora 11 might work.

You *could* try to fix up the recipes and python libraries that make up
the OE build tool -- cherry pick patches from the latest Openembedded
GIT repo -- but the OE folks have dropped support for a lot of the
cross-compilation tools we used with SlugOS 5.3, so that approach is
unlikely to work very well. I can tell you that selecting a snapshot
from last November of the OE build system will get you a SlugOS
5.4-alpha that worked very nicely indeed. In fact, if my job situation
hadn't changed so dramatically last December, I would have released
SlugOS 5.4-beta at the end of December... c'est la vie.

I don't use Ubuntu on my laptop but Linux Mint which is derived from
it. I have no issues using Broadcom chipsets. In order to get it
to work in Ubuntu, you can wait for the pop-up telling you there are
proprietary drivers available or select "System->Admin->Hardware".
Either way, you want a wired internet connection when you do it.
The process will show you a broadcom driver which you will select
and activate. Ubuntu will download, install, and I believe reboot.
When you do all that, wireless should now work flawlessly.

First, this has pretty much NOTHING to do with newbie linux.
You should have an Oracle environment file in /usr/local/bin named
oraenv. Source it for your environment using . /usr/local/bin/oraenv
Oracle also may not be running at all so log on as "sys as sysdba"
and start up the database then everything should work fine.

Hi, All

When I install oracle 10g (32) on linux 5.1 I install it sucessfully when I use isqlplus it shows all the table spaces etc and works fine but the problem is that when I restart the computer oracle does not work and if I check the $ORACLE_SID, $ORACLE_HOME all in the user oracle everything is shown empty and there is no value. Due to which this error comes.

Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus > Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found >

SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software

Though this file is already in the proper place path is set when u check $env. I have many times installed after removing the user oracle and its group everytime oracle installs properly but after restart oracle does not work.

If possible kindly guide me where I am going wrong as everything before restarting the computer is working and why does everything goes down.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
