Not a direct answer to your question, but I managed to cross-build a
functional linux rootfs (including X11/Xfbdev and QTEmbedded) for ARM
using buildroot. I found buildroot much easier to use than trying to
follow the now-deprecated Gentoo Cross Development Guide.
Also, I used CodeSourcery's toolchain instead of building my own.

packages, but perl constantly refuses to emerge and it is needed by

[ebuild N ] dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1

-ithreads 0 kB [ebuild N ] app-admin/perl-cleaner-2.10
to /usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/ 0 kB

it fails right in configure phase.
Relevant logs are attached, except for configure log which I couldn't
find.

When I've read through
/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1/work/perl-5.12.4/Cross/README
which is aimed to give more instructions for cross compiling,
I've found out that I should run make patch make from Cross
directory. Unfortunately, I've got no clue how to combine that with
the whole emerge process?

there is probably a better way to do this, but it should be possible to
make a local overlay and modify the ebuild's src_compile to do emake in
the Cross directory.

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/index.html

I know I could compile it by hand, but then
portage would not know that perl is already installed and it would
try to install it anyway...

there are some ways around that, but its still ugly.

a lot of the things you are finding out now might be *very* interesting
to me in a few months, i am also planning a small project that might
include cross compiling to arm.
are you documenting your progress somewhere? can you please point me to
the documents that helped you put together the cross compilation
toolchain?

from looking at build.log:

Checking your choice of C compiler and flags for coherency...
I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:

#include stdio.h
int main() { printf(Ok\n); return(0); }

I used the command:

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o try -O2 -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/
-I/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/include/ -DOVR_DBL_DIG=14
-L/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib
-L/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib try.c -lnsl
-lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lgdbm_compat ./try

and I got the following output:

/bin/sh: ./try: cannot execute binary file
The program compiled OK, but exited with status 126.

that actually sounds like it successfully cross-compiled try.c, but
*of course* it does not run on your host platform! that check is
probably omitted in Cross/Makefile which might why they are telling you
to run that one.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

So, basically, any parameter settable using 'ip link set' can be declared as

Hello Jonas!


there is probably a better way to do this, but it should be possible to
 make a local overlay and modify the ebuild's src_compile to do emake in
 the Cross directory.

 http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/index.html


So far this seems to me to be the most reasonable way. I would like to stick
to the gentoo way of doing cross compilation, even if it encounters some
minor hacks. I'll try it, thanks for pointing me there.


 are you documenting your progress somewhere?


Nope, but for quite a while I'm considering to put up some blog (or
something on google sites)...


 can you please point me to
 the documents that helped you put together the cross compilation
 toolchain?


In fact only embedded gentoo
documentationhttp://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/and trial
and error method. I succeeded with

crossdev --b 2.21.1 --g 4.5.3 --l 2.11.3 --k 2.6.36 -t
arm-none-linux-gnueabi

which compiled succesfully and created toolchain that can create binaries
compatible with my Netgear Stora. So far I haven't tried emerged packages as
I am not sure if they will run unless built statically, but sample C program
compiled with cross compiler runs ok.


 that actually sounds like it successfully cross-compiled try.c, but
 *of course* it does not run on your host platform! that check is
 probably omitted in Cross/Makefile which might why they are telling you
 to run that one.


I agree, I hope I can make some workaround in a short time for that. Using
my own overlay seems to be the most appropriate way, I'll write back as soon
as I have working ebuild limited to arm architecture...

Re: [gentoo-user] How to cross compile Perl for ARM?

2011-10-14 Thread czernitko

Hi Raffaele,
Gentoo Cross Development Guide is deprecated in favour of Gentoo Embedded
project, which so far seems to suit my needs. I had a quick look on
CodeSourcery's products a few days ago, but in freely available version they
don't seem to offer me more than toolchain compiled with crossdev. Maybe I'm
wrong and if I'll get stuck I'll give them a go. AFAIK the biggest
disadvantage of crossdev-created toolchain, compared to other cross
compilation tools, is that without usage of emulator (like qemu-user) it is
not possible to compile things that use in their configure scipts checks
that need to be run on the target architecture (like Perl).
Sticking to arm-none-linux-gnueabi-emerge offers quite a lot of comfort so
far, so I'll see where I can get.
Thanks for your tips!

Peter

Re: [gentoo-user] zram / compcache, anyone?

 In the kernel? What .config knob should I twiddle?

 Device Drivers - Staging Drivers - Compressed RAM block device
 
 But Dynamic Compression of swap pages underneath looks interesting too
 (check the help).
 Compressed RAM block device = CONFIG_ZRAM
 Dynamic Compression of swap pages = CONFIG_ZCACHE
 

Okay, so just to verify I understand this correctly (I doubt it):

Cleancache (not to be confused with compcache) is an intermediate layer
using a transcendent memory framework [6] for pages that can disappear
from the cache at any time. When the kernel has a clean page backed by
persistent memory (i.e. a file that has not been changed), instead of
removing the page from memory when the space is needed, it can push it
into cleancache. When the kernel later loads the page again, it checks
the cache to see if it is still there.[1,4]

Cleancache requires changes on the filesystem implementations. The
patches I've seen did not include any changes to Ext4 or others.
Somewhere it was mentioned that a generic hook was included so most
filesystems would immediately use it. However, the patches listed on
kernelnewbies.org did not include anything that looked like it so I
guess it was not included in 3.0. Therefore cleancache looks pretty
useless now but might be really neat in the future.

Frontswap, on the other hand, can be used for persistent pages (i.e.
normal anonymous memory for program data).[4] When the kernel would
normally swap out the page, it now presents it to frontswap and either
frontswap accepts the page (i.e. store it compressed in memory) or
refuses it (after which the kernel will really swap it out).[5]
Frontswap does not seem to be part of linux-3.0. The article at [4] says
it is somewhat controversial.

The difference between frontswap and cleancache is that cleancache
accepts everything but might not keep it while frontswap does not accept
everything but guarantees to keep it.

The slightly older zram implementation, on the other hand, uses the same
interface as a block device (which can be formatted as a swap device)
and therefore cannot decline an offered page like frontswap can. Zram
was easier to implement and to get accepted by the kernel community but
it is less efficient because it might save pages which are uncompressable.

Zcache is a backend used by frontswap and cleancache. It basically
reuses zram to offer a storage service for the transcendent memory
framework.[2,3] Another backend is implemented in Xen, using hypervisor
memory.[1]

Any remarks on that summary?

Florian Philipp

I'm really sorry , I won't do that
any longer.

pm here when it is 7:00 am or 8:00 am in
your place , maybe I went to bed and forgot this next morning . But it's not an 
excuse for me , so I will note it .
 
You said there're no line-breaks in my letters , I'm not very clear about this, 
can you send a screenshot for me ? 
It is all normall in my mailbox . 
 
At last I want to explain why I don't try some methods you provide . I like to

to know exactly why it should be this but not that . So the letters I reply

you could try reinstalling app-misc/pax-utils.

this is either a missing dependency or for some reason your pax-utils
install is broken.

[gentoo-user] Can't find driver for VGA in kernel source tree

Hello, everyone ! I'm trying to build a kernel 
 manully and there is a problem.
 I use lspci command and it shows my
 VGA card information:
  
 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller:
 ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP 
  
 Then I type
 $ cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/:01:00.0
 $ cat vendor
 $ cat device
  
 Now I get the vendor ID 0x1002
 and the device ID 0x9552 for my VGA card
  
 Then I type
 $ grep -i 0x1002 include/linux/pci_ids.h 
 It shows #define PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI  0x1002
  
 $grep -i 0x9552 include/linux/pci_ids.h
 It shows nothing
 $grep -Rl PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI
 It prints a lot message, but I should notice
 files in directory drivers/media video and gpu.
 Here are the files in them:
 /drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-card.c
 /drivers/video/aty/radeon_base.c
 /drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c
 /drivers/video/aty/aty128fb.c
 /drivers/drm/radeon/radeon_agp.c
  
 I have searched through these files, but I didn't
 find both 0x1002 and 0x9552 in one file which 
 means these files are not drivers I need.
 If it means that there is no driver for my VGA in 
 kernel source tree ? But my laptop is bought two
 years ago, hardware is not fashion.

Have you tried lspci -v which gives verbose information about the 
device, including the modules involved?

Ah, thanks! That's a very succinct yet clearest explanation! :-)

Also less overthinking and more testing solves most of this stuff quicker.


I prefer to arm myself with enough knowledge before deploying -- even in a
testing setup -- to reduce any 'WTF?!' moments :-)
