I am interested in kernel configuration and compilation, so I have executed ltib and menuconfig, but I am not sure to understand what is the difference between Linux Target Image Builder and the Menuconfig tool? Is menuconfig used by or included in ltib? I understand that both tools generate a kernel, But I guess ltib can process "something more"? (packages/target selection? )

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst, I'm trying to cross compile mono 2.6.4 so that it will run on Freescale Embedded Linux for a PowerPC CPU. My host machine is running Fedora 13 on an x86. Freescale provides a copy of the Linux Target Image Builder (LTIB) that has been pre-configured for the particular board I'm using, and LTIB seems to be able to help with the cross compilation of other stuff--you can add in your own packages to be built and included in your newly-built Linux image.
Mono depends on pkg-config and glib-2, so I have selected them in the LTIB package selection config. I've also added a new package for mono that builds mono-2.6.4 from the source tar (after the other deps have also been built).
I'm having a problem getting the glib-2.24.0 package libraries created. Basically they appear to build and link ok, but then libtool runs and errors out claiming it has a syntax error! (numerous wths followed...)
Here is LTIB's temporary build script for only the glib2 package:
Code:
Here is the output when building the glib2 package (configure + make):
Code:
Build path taken because: directory build, build key set, no prebuilt rpm,
there was something like <board name> and deconfig or something so that make menuconfig can be configured.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to modify fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c to make my modifications. I cannot find any options in 'make menuconfig' to make these files modules rather than compiled elements. I'm thinking these cannot be modules because the file system won't work without open.c and read_write.c. Is this correct - I cannot compile fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c as modules, only as compiled elements? Or, is there some way for a module to overwrite these routines when the module is installed and re-enable the routines when the module is removed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.

I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?

There may be a lot more that I just haven't heard about yet too.

Also, what are the basic differences between the desktops?

What are the differences between shell , console & terminal?
This probably sounds like a stupid question but I'm having a lot of trouble clearly differentiating between a shell (such as Bourne or bash) and the Terminal application in GNOME. I realise that both are completely different but I can't seem to find a clear answer written in text. Could anyone clearly distinguish between both?

Well, let's suppose the file is very large, say 10 GB of disk space it is consuming. We perform the above steps. Which operations: cp (copying) or mv (moving) will be more efficient and less time consuming? The inode number 1566966 which was pointing to the file in my home directory is now pointing to the same file which is in some other directry, i.e. /tmp/. Isn't the inode value getting modified in some ways to point to the correct location / beginning of the data block on the hard disk? If the the physical location of the data would not change then we would not be able to free up space in our home directory. That means the mv operation is copying the file into some other location. In other words, it is also performing the cp operation first and then deleting the file from its original location, my home directory in the case above. However, when a file is copied it's inode value changes. But the mv operation is retaining the same indoe value. So, how to determine which operation - mv or cp - is more CPU-friendly or more efficient in terms of performance and time taken to perform the action?

I'm experimenting with 2.6.33-ck1 mainly because I want to try the BFS. I successfully configured and installed the patched kernel, but I'm experiencing various problems on the desktop. The biggest is Chromium not working at all, but there are several others, including graphical glitches in firefox. I'm sure I left some important module off or made a mistake for some settings My question is that is there a 2.6.33-fc12 kernel yet, and does it have a .config available? I'd like to load those settings in menuconfig and use them as a starting point to properly configure and complie a -ck patched kernel.
