I am just learning to write programs in C++, and i got an iPod Touch for christmas. I have jailbroken my iPod so i can run my own programs on it. If i ever get them compiled. After a few hours of searching i have been unable to come up with a working toolchain for ubuntu which compiles for ipod/iphone. Does anyone know where i can get one/find a howto which will help me to get a toolchain working?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tend to buy music on my iPod touch directly, then synchronize it with iTunes later. After goofing around with Rythembox by trying (unsuccessfully) to import some mp3s onto my iPod, I noticed that my recently purchased 'Fame Monster' Lady Gaga album would not synchronize with iTunes, although the music was still playable and indexed correctly on the ipod itself. I also noticed that Rhythembox can't seem to find that album either. It is quite strange.
So I browsed around the file structure on the ipod to try to hunt down these m4a files and found them in a folder called 'Purchases' - they were all there along with a few other recent purchases. These m4a files are different though - they don't seem to have any of the audio tracks' meta-data embedded in the files themselves, that info is instead in associated 'plist' files that are just xml files with all the info about the tracks you'd expect.
When you sync an ipod touch with itunes, it copies your 'on-the-go' generated playlists - so I tried to trick itunes into finding these files by adding my gaga album to a playlist, but sure enough after synching, that playlist simply disappeared. I tried it again, but this time also adding other songs that are not having any problems, and sure enough the playlist was successfully copied to itunes... SANS any of the gaga tracks! This is so weird.
So basically I have these tracks that are paid for, not cheap might I add, that are playable on my ipod touch, but simply refuse to synchronize with itunes. Why not just grab it m4a off the ipod directly? Well thats true, they play on my computer just fine that way, but the files don't have any of the album and track information embedded...
is there a program OTHER than using WINE and iTunes that I can use to sync my iPod Touch with my Ubuntu 10.10 machine? I still have Vista as a Dual Boot

At this point my ipod shows on my desktop when i connect it via usb. I cannot set up the repository for it in gtkpod because i dont know the location its mounting to. if its mounting at all. so my question is. how can i tell where my ipod is being mounted?

Edit : Itouch = first generation 8gb Edit 2: I would like to create a sticky thread that helps new users answer questions about ipods. Will a moderator please let me know what i should include in their opinion? ex. using wine to run itunes, gtkpod and how to set it up, using mm players like banshee and songbird... what version of ubuntu works best with the ipods.
I've been trying to get my iPod touch (8GB, jailbroken) to connect with gtkpod iPod manager. But whenever I try to load the iPod I get this message.

I am preparing build chain for cross compiling Power PC platform on Ububtu. I was successfully compiled glibc-2.11 and binutils-2.20. But while compiling gcc_4.5.1 I stopped at following compilation error:

I am trying to build a gcc 4.4.3 cross-compiler. I downloaded the gcc 4.4.3 release, uncompressed it, made a new directory called gccbuild and cd'd there. I have already installed gmp, mpfr, and mpc in /usr/local. These are the commands I used:
Code:
configure --target=arm-linux --enable-languages=c --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local
make
However, the build fails with

I have a large existing codebase that all compiles under Ubuntu 8.04 with g++ using Scons. I've been given the task of getting it to compile for Arm9 running uclinux. I have a arm-elf-g++ compiler that I need to use instead of the gcc version. I ended up borking my /usr/lib/scons/SCons/Tool/g++.py file to use arm-elf-g++ instead of g++, but I know that this is not correct, as I have to go edit that file every time I change compilers.
These are the 2 lines I switch out:
Code:
compilers = ['arm-elf-g++']
#compilers = ['g++']
I simply can not find anywhere in the scons documentation that indicates how to tell it to use a different compiler. It seems that it would go under "Environment" but beyond that I'm lost. The CPPPATH variable seems like it only tells scons where to find #include files. I suppose I could rename arm-elf-g++ to g++ and just set my path to find that one first, but that seems like a bit of a hack as well. It would also break other things on my machine.
first of all, i will be glad if i can get prebuild toolchain for target=arm1176jzf-s on host= sparc-sun-solaris2.10. ( i hav browsed but can't find prebuild one) so, i tried to establish by myself i hav established binutils first, but while trying to configure& build gcc(gcc4.4.0) , i was interrupted with following error.. error message: this error has come while building boot strap gcc for cross complier tools chain

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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to generate 64-bit executable(utility) using PowerPC-linux cross compiler? i.e. Any options need to pass ppc-gcc other then "-m64". I have written a small test program on 64-bit server and generated 64-bit executable using gcc alone.
Ex:
#
file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

Actually I want to generate a executable(using PowerPC-linux cross compiler),which will run on 64-bit machines. In my Makefile I am trying to use CC = XXXXX/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc -m64 to ppc-linux-gcc,but giving error.
error: -m64 not supported in this configuration
If I remove -m64 its generating 32-bit executable.

I need gcc/g++ and fortran. I Googled and most documents I found are somehow outdated and targeting for ARM, not for other Linux.

I've been trying desperately to try to sync my iPod to play songs from it and to add songs to it. I've tried Rhythmbox, Amarok, and iTunes through Wine, but none of them will even acknowledge that a device has been connected. When I connect my iPod while in Rhythmbox, a device called "Unknown Device" pops up for just a second, then disappears. This computer is running only Ubuntu now so I'm pretty desperate to find a way to be able to sync my iPod.

I recently installed Ubuntu after xp went off its last leg and couldn't start up (I deleted all previous files in the installation). It's a very good program and I have no problem installing new programs
The problem is that it will not recognize any iPod connected to it. ( not only mine but family as well)
Now when I say it doesn't recognize, I mean that programs like Banshee, Rhythmbox, and Hipo fail to recognize that an iPod is connected but my iPod can charge perfectly fine so I know that it isn't an issue with the cord.
I have a 3rd gen 32g ipod touch with the latest firmware and restored to factory default settings. When I plug in the device via USB it will not mount. after plugging in the ipod my dmesg is as follows:
Code:
[ 399.300032] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
[ 399.455746] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 3 choices
And lsusb shows the device as:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:1299 Apple, Inc.
The OS is obviously recognizing the device as an Apple product, but beyond that I don't know.
The device will connect fine with windows machines. I have not tried using it with Wine + itunes as I know that itunes under wine is buggy at best.
When I plug the ipod in I get the following error message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" Amarok sees the ipod but cant access it. Gtkpod doesnt see it at all.Its an Ipod Touch 8GB, 2nd or 3rd gen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know there are a few threads on this already, but I don't think they apply to this type model specifically. This link says that the libgpod is not yet current with the hardware.
It also says that it works with iPod Touch 4G's with a lower OS (ex. 4.0.1). Mine came with 4.1, but even after jailbreaking, I cannot get it to sync music.
If I were to downgrade the OS (is this even advisable for this model), would I then be able to sync music in Ubuntu?

I'm thinking about jailbreaking my iPod touch 4g with ios 4.3 using the new redsnow. Can you do this using wine or do I have to go and use windows. Also, will the jailbreak delete my apps, and do I have to update to 4.3.1.
