SDL_perl uses the newer Module::Build for building, rather than the traditional MakeMaker. Module::Build is not included in perlmodlib by default. -- Andy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] SDL_perl installation
Hi, I've seen on the Wiki that someone compiled Frozen Bubble for maemo, but this person did not wrote any documentation about it or left any binary. I like this game so I want to try compiling it. When i run "make" it complains about missing SDL_perl so I run cpan and try 'install SDL_perl' but it doesn't work. It seems like some kind of perl module is missing. I have tried installing some more perl modules but it does not seem to work I still get this error when installing in CPAN: /scratchbox/tools/bin/perl.bin "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build Base class package "Module::Build" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.) at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 11. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 11. make: *** [Build] Error 255 /scratchbox/tools/bin/make CC=host-gcc LD=host-gcc -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Does anyone know what does this mean ?

Re: [maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!
From what I remember when I've tried it, it generally crashes/reboots when you remove the card. Can't remember if the same thing happens when you insert the USB cable. I've found a way around the problems with it unmounting because of the USB cable: I created a second partition (it's a 1GB card) and made the swapfile there. I can use ext3 to get proper permissions/execute support as well, so it's quite nice. The only hangup is having to manually remount it after a reboot, but it's worth the trouble. A GUI tool for toggling swap and mounts would sure be neat! Removing the card while the second partition is mounted is not a good idea and sometimes it takes a reboot to fix it.

Re: [maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!
Vladislav > with swap on, what happens to the system when you manually remove the > mmc card? Or when you connect the USB cable to the unit? I am pretty sure the nokia will just crash if I eject it when swap is active. We need to latch into the cardslot-opening and -closing events if we want to handle this right (and display a busy... dialog while the swapoff is working and a dialog if swapoff fails...) Plugging it into a host is no trouble. The data partition is unmounted on the 770 side and I can use it from the host. Fortunately, the os is not trying to outsmart me by turning off swap as well when it unmounts the partition. That would not be good. Of course the host pc sees the whole card and can see there's a swap partition but I didn't try accessing it from the host. In fact, when I was starting from a card with just one fat partition I just plugged the nokia (with card inserted) into my linux machine and did the repartitioning and mkdosfs/mkswap from the host pc. brad ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Not really, since the flash controller on an MMC card is supposed to do wear-levelling. The FAT blocks, for example, would die pretty quickly otherwise, since they're written to very often.

Re: [maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!
Yep you're right - it runs as long smooth as long as your mmc is willing to play. But keep in mind that a swap-file means meany reads/writes to the same areas of flash which will for sure lead to the death of the mmc later or sooner. lg Clemens 2006/1/14, Brad Midgley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > hey > > I decided to try the swap partition on my flash card and it made a HUGE > difference.

[maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!
hey I decided to try the swap partition on my flash card and it made a HUGE difference. Even with only 25mb swap (30mb wouldn't work for me), now memory is not nearly the concern it was. I can run multiple apps, look at complex pdf documents, etc. Just like I expected my 770 to do in the first place! I think the vm may need to be tuned if nokia plans to keep shipping these things with 64mb and no swap.
