Just a follow-up for those who run into problems building slimserver on
their NSLU2 down the road...
Turns out that I ran into this identical problem myself yesterday after
attempting to build from the latest source. The root problem was that
'gcc' was a zero-byte executable file! Apparently, one of the packages
that I installed on my NSLU2 since I first built slimserver stomped on
it.
Normally, when invoking gcc you should see something like this:
Code:
--------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] public]$ gcc
gcc: no input files
--------------------
However, what it was doing was this:
Code:
--------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] public]$ gcc
<nothing>
--------------------
To resolve my problem I download the gcc cross-compiler binary from
http://peter.korsgaard.com/articles/debian-nslu2.php and copied gcc
from that tarball to /opt/armeb/armv5b-softfloat-linux/bin/gcc.
Problem resolved.
Code:
--------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -la /opt/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 5 04:34 /opt/bin/gcc ->
/opt/armeb/bin/armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -la /opt/armeb/bin/armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 5 04:35
/opt/armeb/bin/armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc ->
/opt/armeb/armv5b-softfloat-linux/bin/gcc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -la /opt/armeb/armv5b-softfloat-linux/bin/gcc
-rwx------ 1 root root 303190 Oct 12 22:55
/opt/armeb/armv5b-softfloat-linux/bin/gcc
--------------------
Note the file size of '/opt/armeb/armv5b-softfloat-linux/bin/gcc'.
Prior to copying that binary the size was 0.
Cheers, mac.
