Ha, but there IS an option for A780 and SmartQ :-)

By the way, thanks for "on demand" toolchain creation!

And fresh it is! Long live SSH, allowing me to run it on a remote desktop 
(should have thought of that before :-) )

Downloaded the files and now extracting to /usr/local/shr/* 

Am I correct in understanding that I can follow the openmoko wiki with those 
toolchains? (shr--20100820-x86_64-linux-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain + extras)

You can also try newer toolchain from Angstrom
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/

angstrom-next is using almost the same toolchain as we're, but wasn't
published for armv4t yet
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/next/

or try to generate own sdk image with narciuss 
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus
sdk toolchain options are shown only after switching to "advanced" options, 
but there is no option for angstrom-next..

Praying is not my strongest, let alone most used, talent, but I'll give it a 
try for starters ;-)

Hi,

it is not the right way to do it but you may try downloading the old
OM toolchain, replace the opkg sources (then opkg-target upgrade) with
the shr ones and pray :). I think for a first start in the SHR world
until you have your new laptop it could work maybe.

Hahah... The harddisk is 20GB.. I lend my desktop (with about 3GHz single core 
AMD a bit more up to date) to my sister... Perhaps she likes a new laptop ;-)

Budget allowing, there's a new laptop coming later this year ("yahoo!"). Time 
allowing I'll join the channel, thanks!

Hi,
there is a problem with a toolchain for SHR-U: in SHR-unstable eglibc and gcc 
changes really often. If one of those changes the whole toolchain needs to be 
recompiled, because every lib needs to be build with the current eglibc and 
gcc version to run properly.
In this case you would have to download a new toolchain about every week, 
because of that there is no toolchain for SHR-U.

So to build an app for SHR-u you have to set up a bitbake enviroment like 
discribt in [1] and then create a recipe for your app like discribet in [2].

But this is a long process, it needs about 10 hours on my PC (2,8GHz core2duo, 
8Gb ram) and downloads about 15Gb of data, so a more powerfull machine then 
your laptop would be good.

If you don't have another PC you can come to the #openmoko-devel IRC channel, 
perhaps we can find a solution for you.

[SHR] toolchain (again)

2010-08-19 Thread W. B. Kranendonk
Hi List,

I'd like to start trying to contribute to the Openmoko-ecosystem in a more 
meaningful manner than lurking the mailinglists.

I also like to see if I can add my own twist to my phone (running SHR-U). I 
imagined combining those two wishes by getting a toolchain running and see what 
happens to the code I put through it.

Now I found that the wiki [1] is quite specific about telling me what my needs 
are. I do not want to do "(b) System Integration and customizing a 
distribution", so I probably want (a), just the single application.

The wiki shows how to set up a toolchain for 2008.8, or that is where the 
example link for libraries points to. There's an unstable branch [2] as well, 
but I susbpect it's not SHR-U.

There was a request on the community list earlier [3], referring to the 
shr-user list and a ticket [4] on the SHR-track. The ticket does not (yet) give 
me insight in how to get a (minimal) toolchain for building my own programs for 
SHR, but it reminded me to have a look on the SHR site.

On the SHR wiki [5], the curve seems opposite to what it is on the Openmoko 
wiki: getting started with a single application requires more setup than 
building the distribution.

I am a little confused and actually, close to a year ago I intended to take the 
plunge as well but got stuck following the SHR-guide. Since my laptop (PIII 
700MHz, 256Meg) is not the fastest beast (actually almost gets beaten by the 
"modern" architecture found in my Freerunner), I remember some steps took 
overnight to complete.

After this lengthy introduction, can it be confirmed that the instructions on 
the SHR wiki have recently worked, and is there a reasonable chance that I will 
get through it "just following the pictures"? So far, just browsing, the 
instructions seem quite solid (thumbs up! :-) ) 

Oh, I'm running (L)Ubuntu 10.04, with half of the instructions on the Openmoko 
wiki completed.

Thanks in advance!

Boudewijn
