Hi folks I'm asking these questions here because I know some of the membership has worked on/is working on the Helio.
I used Brad LaRonde's "Building a Modern MIPS Cross-Toolchain for Linux" doc to create a mipsel-linux version of gcc. Its a great reference for making a cross compiler. (Yes, that's a baldfaced plug) I compiled a few c programs, all of which display stuff to stdout or stderr. With the libraries from the pgui Helio distro as a base, I flashed the executables over and tried to run them from the prompt in minicom. There was no output to stdout/stderr and the exe that was supposed to dump core did nothing. Can anyone tell me where stdout/stderr is on the Helio? How can I display stuff to the minicom prompt or the Helio screen? What else may be wrong? I'm approaching my wits end over this. I've also got a version of kaffe installed on the Helio. It comes from the kaffe ftp site and says its compiled for mipsel. The kaffe executable will print a usage message when invoked without a class file. When a class file is specified, kaffe says it "Couldn't find or load essential class 'java/lang/Object' java.lang.NoClassDefFound" Its in a jar file that works fine on other platforms. Any guesses as to what could cause this? Could it be related to an incorrect version of zlib? Speaking of libraries - since I'm using a cross compiler, I've got mipsel libraries on a build machine (i586). Do I need to install those libraries on the Helio along with the compiled programs. I'd really appreciate any answers I can get. Please respond privately if you don't want to take up space in the mailing list.
