(guess it's not) No, that's due to OE having a flag day TMPDIR ABI change requiring everything to be rebuilt from scratch on the autobuilder. I froze the feeds while this is happening so people don't get a half-baked result. As soon as building is successful again, I will unfreeze them. At the moment, fso-testing-image and fso-unstable-image pass but fso-testing-packages and fso-unstable-packages fail on liburi-perl. -- Rod ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Building FSO Wiki page
building it is what makes all the difference, you have the source so you can modify one line of code, rebuild and test it.. I also think the building_fso page is confusing, because the second part of page talks about directories that don't exist using the makefile procedure, so you cannot gradually pass from automatic to manual.. but i admit that i didn't look much into the openembedded page, so probably i must just understand better. anyway, using the automatic procedure (the makefile) i have some problems: 1) the build stops at the ttf-liberation-0.2-r2 package, install phase, and the install log is empty 2) if i issue a make update openembedded complains that it don't know where to update from... i actually know less than him, so the only way to update the distribution for me is to delete all and restart from the wget makefile step.. this is the error i get: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/openmoko/fso-makefile $ make update ( cd common ; git pull ) Already up-to-date. ( cd bitbake ; svn up ) At revision 1092.

Please name which branch you want to merge on the command line and try again (e.g. 'git pull repository refspec'). See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.

No problems anyway, i just went back to square one and wgetted a new makefile and it seems to work. now i can even issue a make update, and i just seen the ttf-liberation package compiled, yeah! 4) last but not least, the fso image i have created (fso-testing, removing the ttf-liberation package) is not able to connect to the gsm network, and write No service over the band meter icon. Is this expected? It's not a systematic problem, since many people are able to connect using that image. happy to hear this.. maybe i just made some confusion with the kernel boot arguments, since i want to start it from the sd card and seems like uboot don't like it very much. it's a 2 gb ultra, but when i make mmcinit uboot says it is a 512 mb card.. i am able to boot fso one time out of 10 or so, and i suspect that uboot fallback to load the main kernel on the internal memory passing it the rootfs argument of the sd, the kernel actually can read the card without problem and fso magically boots :) (i'm not sure of this, it's just a suspicion.. i must indagate better. is there a way, maybe in the proc directory, to know where the kernel were loaded from? or maybe the complete kernel image to diff against and find out?) maybe the different kernel loaded make gsmd unable to actually use the gsm hardware.. well, thanks for your reply, my pc will compile all night now.. let's hope to find a good fso image tomorrow morning, and let's prepare to fight another uboot war! roby ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
