joorinanyone up for some guessing game as to why its not possible to unpack the SDK rootstrat when its on the N900?00:29
joorin"rootstrap"00:30
joorintar gives up when trying to access something close to ./usr/share/<bladhiblah>/foo.gz00:30
SpeedEvilstrace00:30
SpeedEvilfat issues?00:31
joorinkind of hard on the eyes when youre just using Xterminal on teh device and not ssh.00:31
joorinbut strace is up there, sure.00:31
joorini thought it would be easy to at least get the rootstrap onto the device...00:32
joorinbut, silly me.00:32
SpeedEvilwhy nott ssh in?00:32
joorina tad complicated network environment.00:32
joorinsecond terminal left at work so nothing to reconnect to get on teh same network segment.00:33
joorinmy main goal is to defeat qemu in an as civil way as possible to not have to fiddle with it and compile in the best invironment.00:33
lcukjoorin, space will be #100:34
lcukyou have perhaps ~50mb optimistically speak00:34
joorinid prefer my main linux box, but, fedora and maemo dont mix...00:34
lcukhow large is the sdk rootstrap00:34
joorinlcuk, oh, hi.;)00:34
lcuk(considering "build-essential" has a footprint of ~80mb00:34
joorinlcuk, im unpacking it under MyDocs. planning to chroot to it and build away whien i get the include structure sorted out.00:35
joorinlcuk, ive already fiddled with it on my main box but qemu is so ugly it hurts if "cross compiling" is the goal. or im just picky.00:35
lcuknot at all00:36
lcukbest of luck00:36
lcukive gone through same00:36
lcuktho i didnt try using rootstrap00:36
joorinthe rootstrap for armel is some 38MByte tar.gz00:36
lcuki just got sdk and tools repos00:36
lcukand went from there00:36
joorinrootstrap gives me a compiler that generates binaries. from that i might be able to pull myself up by my hair (and learn something along the way).00:37
joorinbut im not looking forward to compiling hildon, for example.00:38
joorinbut the weekend is coming up and electricity iss cheap.00:38
lcukheh00:38
joorinhad there been an i386 actual cross compiler, much of this hadnt needed to be done.00:38
lcukwhat else is in the rootstrap00:39
joorinbasic system to get it running from the metal.00:39
lcukyeah but linux building is more than compiler00:39
SpeedEviljoorin: mydocs is vfat00:39
lcuki get basic compiler with build essential00:39
SpeedEvilit has all sorts of naming issues00:39
joorinspeedevil, oh. ;(00:39
lcukfat != problem if its a chroot00:39
SpeedEvilyes it is00:39
lcukor rather if you put a chroot inside00:40
SpeedEvilyou mean a loopback mounted chroot containing another fs00:40
SpeedEvilyes - that works00:40
joorinspeedevil, if i unpack the bootstrap in the root, its going to be full.00:40
lcukSpeedEvil, thats probably what i meant00:40
SpeedEviljoorin: /home/user is a seperate 2G partition00:40
SpeedEviljoorin: which is ext300:40
joorinoh.00:40
lcukbut a loopback mounted chroot containing another fs isnt so easy to remember00:40
joorinspeedevil, so moving things up from MyDocs might actually work?00:41
joorinlets rephrase that, ill test it now...00:41
joorinand it gets further at least.00:44
joorinoh, n00b debian question: the file command, in which package will i find it and where should i have searched for it (or how)?00:45
joorinand now tar worked as intended.00:46
joorinspeedevil, thank you.00:47
SpeedEvilI just backed up mydocs into /home/user - then deleted the partition, and recreated it as a 4G partition, and a 28G one in the remaining space00:48
SpeedEvilwhich I made an ext300:48
joorinspeedevil, good way to use the space.00:50
joorinspeedevil, i havent done any thinking at all about how to utilize the "drives".00:50
joorinbut thats a very good suggestion.00:50
SpeedEvilI know the camera app had issues with mydocs not being a vfat - I think that's fixed - I don't know if there are other issues.00:51
SpeedEvilAn issue for some might be that for plugging in - you can't get to the ext3fs in most cases00:51
joorini dont use the camera much.00:51
joorinoh, not being able to mount it via USB might be a stumbling block for me, taking my icky network setup into account.00:52
joorinbut now i have the rootstrap in place, chroot worked as intended and i can compile. i wish i had an editor too. ;)00:53
SpeedEvilvi is there, what more do you need00:53
joorinoh well, cat >> hello_world.c is fine...00:54
joorinspeedevil, no vi in rootstrap as far as i can see.00:54
*** lbt has quit IRC01:01
joorinspeedevil, but, a middle road might be suitable, leaving something like 5GByte for MyDocs as vfat and take the rest to /home/user as ext3. than its still possible to play around while having more space for real things.01:01
SpeedEvilyeah01:03
joorinand when i reread what you wrote earlier im just saying what you said. time to sleep...01:04
