General :: Cross-compile "sudo" Source For Power-PC Platform Using Montavista Tool Chain?
Jan 30, 2010
I'm trying to cross-compile "sudo" source for Power-PC platform using Montavista tool chain. I'm getting the following error message during configuration: checking host system type... Invalid configuration `ppc_82xx': machine `ppc_82xx' not recognized It is clear that it has found the cross-compiler and configure knows that we are cross-compiling but it fails to recognize the machine. The complete dump follows:
[vhn@localhost sudo-1.7.2p2]$ ./configure --host=ppc_82xx
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
configure: Configuring Sudo version 1.7.2p2
checking whether to lecture users the first time they run sudo... yes
checking whether sudo should log via syslog or to a file by default... syslog
I am trying to cross compile php for "arm" target using "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi" tool chain. Apache compilation was successful after using a few ac_cv configuration options(and a few others to get rid of compile errors). But was unable to compile php for the target, as the 'apxs' file used was not executable in the build machine.
I tried creating an apxs file for the build machine architecture(intel 686), and using it. It was able to compile then, but still php page is not getting displayed on the web server. (Have done the procedures like, loading the libphp5 module on httpd conffile and all)
I tried to install the cross toolchain for armhf but, apparently, I borked something. I tried to follow the directions here : [URL] .... but he lost me at "The key fingerprint is: 084C 6C6F 3915 9EDB 6796 9AA8 7DE0 8967 1804 772E (you will need to install curl in a bare chroot)".
I have successfully installed the toolchain according to the gnuarmeclipse method and don't recall any references to "chroot"; it was pretty straight forward. That machine took a dump and I need to start over. I would like to install the toolchain without Eclipse getting in the way (and hogging memory).
I have downloaded the source for an embedded Linux system but no tool chain. I want/need a tool chain to rebuild the system image. Can anyone point me to a 'How to' for building the environment? It is an ARM9 system.
I am trying to build a cross GCC compiler for PPC476. I applied all the relevant patches. Cross compiler build was successful. When I try to compile the source code using the cross compiler I am getting the below error message. I think this is something related to linker.
Code: cow_shim_funcs_startup_shutdown.o cow_shim_utils.o ../../dm/cfg/cfgi.a ../../dm/pl2/libsas21xxpl.a ../../raid/pfk/libpfk.a /home/Raghu/gcc/cross-compiler/ppc/tools/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.3.1/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libgcc_s.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [app.out] Error 1
I try to cross compile httpd for power pc.It seems that configure doesn't detect cross compilation. The first error was that sizeof (void*) is less than (long), so I have commented out that check (I think it is a hard work around). I've got another error ./dftables: cannoct execute binary file. Why it tries to execute binary for ppc on x86 machine?This is my build script.
I need to transfer a 4Gbyte file from my Linux netbook to a friends WinXP desktop. And I'd like to it with a usb flash drive, but it can't handle a file larger than 2Gbyte. A limitation due to the underlying FAT32 filesystem. But I don't wish to reformat my usb as ext3 either.
So I need to split my 4GByte file into smaller chunks. And the 'split' utility needs to be available on both Linux and the WinXP operating systems.
I am making a text search engine. I need to first convert binary documents to text. I want to go with cross-platform (we develop both on windows and linux) command line (so that I can get the output via python subprocess). What are the choices for this?
i have fedora 11(64 bit).i want to do the cross compilation for 32 bit arm processor.i install all required thing but any of the make command(make,make mrproper,defconfig) is not working.
I am new to the embedded domain.I am learning about cross compilation. Just i want to compile an application and an driver file for ARM platform. I have downloaded the toolchain binaries from [URL]..
I have Slackware 13-64 bit and I would like to cross-compile some Fortran and C programs to windows 32 and 64 bit applications. The Linux versions utilize X11 for the graphical users interface. I have tried MINWG but I could not get it to work, either in pre-built binary or source code form. Is there a binary version that works on Slackware 13? Alternatively, is there another method available?
I want to compile a program with the source I already have but I have to add an option. When I run the command ./autogen.sh the terminal returns aclocal not found. Is it a package or something i have to install?
What are the availability`s for cross platform sql , gui, application development using raw code in the Debian environment. I would rather work with raw code. I have been working with PHP MySQL, need to advance to Universe Application Development cross platform Raw Code for both mobile and desk top.
I'm trying to run the kernel configurator for my embedded ARM platform (PXA310) but so far I can only get it to run for my build platform, an i386/32 machine. I've tried running "make ARCH=arch/arm/mach-PXA3xx xconfig" in various combinations, but the maker always complains that it can't find the target "arch/arm/mach-PXA3xx". Doesn't matter what order I put the arguments on the command line.
I also have CROSS-COMPILE defined in the environment correctly and can otherwise build for my embedded target. I just can't run the config tool; I need to enable USB On the Go.
I'm trying to cross compile the GNU make for Alpha Architecture on my i686 PC and the GNU make i compiled would be placed in my virtual hard disk which is a Alpha based linux simulated system. My question is now , I'm able to cross compile the GNU make on my i686 real PC machine , but when i let the make program run in my virtual machine , it pops out the error ..
make: /lib/libc.so.6.1: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by make)
After that, I try another alternative , and I read through the file "INSTALL" on the GNU make directory that I downloaded from the internet . In this case , I downloaded make-3.81. On the sub section "Compiling For Multiple Architectures" It says that
"You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script.`configure' automatically checks for the source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH' variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another architecture." And I do not understand the line "by placing the object files for each architecture in their own directory" . What object files that I should put ?
I'm looking for a way to create a cross-platform GUI application. The result must be able to run on linux, windows and OSX. And it must be a point-and-click GUI.For development I should be able to rely on Open-Source tools on linux only (that means no access to Windows or OSX)The target should be able to install the result relatively easily, that means any dependencies must be freely available, and the setup steps must be very minimal (probably means no installing development tools or running compilers)
My first thought was java, but the standard Swing GUI can look a bit ugly on some platforms. So I'm wondering if there's anything else. My next thought was C++/Qt, but I don't think I can cross-compile this from Debian for Windows or OSX, can I? Next I thought of python and PyQt, but it looks like PyQt isn't available for OSX. And finally I even thought of making some kind of web application running on a tiny web server of some kind, then accessing it with a native browser, but I'm pretty sure this doesn't meet the "easy to install" criteria. I'm finding this so tricky, do all the existing cross-platform applications use natively-compiled C++ for this? Or is there an obvious alternative that I'm overlooking?
I am looking for a cross-platform LAN IM software for use on my home network, i've got some windows vista & Debian boxes. Is there any such software? I have looked around sourceforge and freshmeat. I tried J-Lan Communicator, it didnt work
I recently faced a problem. At my college, I linked my laptop with my friend's laptop with an ad-hoc wifi network. I wanted to send him a file. I was running Ubuntu, and he was running XP. Unfortunately, I could not find an easy way to send him the file. Another problem I faced was when I wanted to transfer the contents of my hard disk to another computer. I had to install Filezilla server on the other computer, and upload the files from one computer to the other.
I feel that its a really cumbersome method of transferring files in the same network. Mobile phones have bluetooth, and a file can be sent to another mobile very easily without any fuss. Does anyone know whether any such program exists already? If not, I want to write such a program that will allow one user to add another user to a personal network, and send or recieve files and/or communicate in other ways. The only language I know is Python (self-taught). I was wondering what GUI framework to use. I've never written a GUI program before, and would like to hear your opinions. This will be a very basic program, and must be able to run on many platforms.
I want to learn how to create computer software/programs. I want to be able to design them to be cross platform (Win32, OSX, Linux). I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of courses I need to take for this? And would it be possible to study by myself and learn it for free?
Is there any equivalent of WaitFOrMultipleObjects on Linux?
I was finding a cross Platform library that allow you to run another program from your C++ application. I found POCO but it does not support functionality like WaitFOrMultipleObjects for both (linux and windows). I tried boost Process but its not official till now.
I'm trying to persuade my classmate migrating to linux but they always fall back to windows when homeworks require creating GUI (graphical user interface) applications. Not only because C# and Window forms/WPF is so sissily easy to use. But some teachers only test homework on Window machine. I have tried pyGTK and wxPython but they have some flaws. wxPython seem a little bit messy with so many look-alike class name and it's ID based event binding is somewhat awkward. pyGTK seems nice and neat but it doesn't have Mac port yet.
I have made a game for Linux and want to release it soon (on linux & windows). Since its SDL/OpenGL and I dont do any special things it shouldn't be much porting to windows. Problem: Maintaining I have the game in code::blocks SDL project on Linux. So I got wine and installed wined Code::Blocks with MingW so I can cross compile on Linux. For another game I made, I used a Makefile which has "if" statements to set up compile variables. And everything else is totally identical to windows & linux (code, source files and etc...)
With codeblocks I got used to not having to worry about makefiles and it did well and I better focused on making the game rather than everytime a new file is added editing the makefile and etc... Is there some nice ways to have a cross platform environment to make it easy to make games for Linux and windows. I'm thinking of making my own system of auto-generating a makefile (essentially upgrading the setup I have for my previous game to auto add entry's to the makefile & some other stuff).
I want to manage music on a mobile phone. It's an MP3/MP4 player SmartPhone iPhone clone from this (de-spammed) address: xxxx: [URL] I want an app that can be used on both windows and Linux computers and that is as good as iTunes for managing media. What do you recommend?
I would like to be able to store all my important details and passwords in such a way that it is encrypted, easy to get the information out and is cross-platform. Basically, I am thinking that if I kick the bucket that I would like to make it as easy as possible for others to be able to access this information using a pre-arranged password.
Ideally I would like the files to contain the program that is needed to extract the data i.e. importantinfoLinux.sh inportantinfoWin.exe (Just like a self-containing zip). I haven't found anything along those lines.
The things I am currently thinking of is:
1) A password database program that is cross-platform like KeePass. WIth the bundle contining the relevant installers for win, linux and OS X and the database file.
2) An AES encrypted zip of the data with relevant programs to open it e.g. 7-zip on windows, peazip on linux and OS X
Has anyone got any thoughts on this? Any self-containing java encryption apps?
