Re: Compiling GNU Utilities on Scratchbox
You may also try compiling with thumb intruction set. This is how most stuff in firmware is compiled. Try export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=thumb before building the deb or use compiler options directly (-mthumb -mthumb-interwork) Frantisek ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Frantisek ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers Hi Frantisek, The approach has been again to use the OS2006 initfs for the 770, including the old kernel. Indeed in the previous round we first tried to use a newer kernel but that turned out to cause many problems - Joni has the details. Problems with 2.6.18 - if I remember right: - dsp system was different - problems with sound and related programs - the biggest problem - some user space programs needed more patching than with older kernel. - problems with initfs: bme cal-tool didn't work properly - more problems that didn't come out - time to get everything work But yes. 2.6.18 is possible to get work. but there is needed some dsp+kernel guru to do this. Using 2.6.26 is just faster way to get goal. There is old archive about for more information: http://test.maemo.org/maemowiki/Os2007HackerEditionArchives We're close to releasing a new version of the hacker edition, at that point let's talk about this again. With that newer version working (userspace updated to the latest release for the N800 as much as possible) we can reconsider the use of the old initfs.

Although -Os means optimize for size, it's sometimes faster than -O2 if things fit better into cache (same with thumb option which can give even further size reductions). - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

What would help for the start is making old initfs from first hacker edition available for download again so one could start testing kernels = 2.6.16. With initfs from IT2006 you won't get too far when booting such kernel, dsme crashes and device reboots immediately. We're close to releasing a new version of the hacker edition, at that point let's talk about this again.

af-defines.sh call removed from /etc/profile
I just installed Scratchbox and the 3.1 SDK, then upgraded to the 3.2 SDK. I noticed that the upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 makes this change to /etc/profile: [sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] diff /etc/profile.dpkg-old /etc/profile 9d8 source /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh Is that correct, or should I add the deleted line back?
