17:29 < DeeKey> Hello!
17:29 < rxr> hi DeeKey
17:41 < DeeKey> hmm very strange error build: invisible :)
17:41 < DeeKey> The build is aborted, but there are no errors (except of some standard one connected with custom config linux file)
17:41 < DeeKey> could you look at the error log? http://pastebin.com/m2358d803
17:44 < rxr> there is stuff in usr/local
17:44 < rxr> a distribution should not place files there, and thus T2 aborts on /usr/local files (by default)
17:44 < rxr> Found files in /usr/local:
17:44 < rxr> ...
17:45 < rxr> if this are ordenary kernel objects they probably should be in /lib/modules, anyway, no ?
17:45 < DeeKey> in what user/local? in the $root ?
17:46 < rxr> usr/local, yes in the new system roo
17:46 < rxr> if it would mangle the build host the erorr would be "... outside basedir"
17:46 < DeeKey> I have seen such already... :)
17:47 < rxr> but this are all the kernel objects they should probably not be in usr/local in any case :-)
17:48 < DeeKey> hmm actually usr/local and usr is a default dirs for comedi install..
17:48 < DeeKey> COMEDI installation directory (/usr/local or /usr).
17:49 < rxr> yea - every package installs into /usr/local by default
17:49 < rxr> because this is the fallbck for joe end users messing it into their system
17:49 < rxr> but for a real distribution shipping the stuff /usr/local should be empty for users to exactly mess themself :-)
17:49 < DeeKey> I see...
17:50 < rxr> comedi should install into $prefix, all configure scripts normally are executed with --prefix=/$prefix
17:50 < rxr> that's in the $confopt variable by default
17:50 < DeeKey> and what is prefix ? What is the path of it?
17:51 < DeeKey> but what about other dirs? like /usr/realtime or just /usr ? Is it ok to use them?
17:51 < rxr> by default the $prefix is set to usr
17:52 < rxr> but notheless the $prefix variable should be honor in any case
17:52 < DeeKey> ok. Thanks, is it from LSF ?
17:52 < rxr> because the user or the target might specify another one, for example /opt/comedi
17:52 < rxr> more the FHS, Filesyxtem Hirachy standard
17:52 < rxr> /usr/local is for local installation
17:53 < DeeKey> thanks!
17:53 < rxr> for stuff needed for boot and /usr for the non-boot stuff
17:53 < rxr> /opt is for optional, big extensions
17:53 < DeeKey> will try to fix and rebuild..,.
17:53 < rxr> but in T2 the $prefix defaults to "usr", and the $prefix variable should be honored everywhere
17:53 < rxr> (some dumb packages do not do this right now, but in theory all should)
17:54 < rxr> to allow for the user or the target to set a prefix, like KDE stuff defaults to /opt/kde in T2, GNOME to /opt/gnome2, XFCE to /opt/xfce4 (I think)
17:54 < rxr> etc. - so that a target can flexible change this
17:54 < rxr> but for your package I think just the kernel moduel dir or so is set wrong somewhere, as the /usr/local stuff is all kernel modules, right ?
17:55 < DeeKey> sorry , are u sure, that "/" is needed?
17:55 < DeeKey> --prefix=/$prefix
17:55 < rxr> yes
17:55 < rxr> because the $prefix variable in T2 has no / prefix
17:55 < rxr> that was some historic choice, but makes life easier in some places
18:07 < CIA-24> rene * r25669 /trunk/package/ (3 files in 2 dirs): * fixed avrdude and usbutils to cross build
18:42 < mqueiros> I'm trying to change the default runlevel of my livecd. I changed inittab in build/.../etc but still got the same run level. Probably I'm looking in the wrong place. Where should I make this kind of changes ?
18:43 < rxr> best in your target's rootfs overlay
18:43 < rxr> like: trunk/target/desktop/rootfs/etc/inittab
18:45 < mqueiros> the target itself... but, there's no /rootfs/ inside the target, should I create it ?
18:47 < rxr> yes, just create it
18:47 < rxr> everything in that dir is used for e.g. livecd builds to "apply some config and fixup and the like" during the final image creation
18:47 < rxr> creation / compression
18:49 < mqueiros> ok, thanks. I was looking at it in the handbook... but was not sure if it was what I wanted because that applies at the target, I thought there was some kind of changes that could be made to the config it self.
19:05 < mqueiros> rxr: Got some strange errors running Config script... http://pastebin.com/m311cc2b And this error trying to run the build target script: http://pastebin.com/m3351f12f
19:05 < rxr> ouh
19:06 < mqueiros> It started (I think) when I tried to use the same config but changed from "generic" to "desktop"...
19:22 < tri_> after i build a package it always says "grep config/default" - why ? :-)
19:27 < rxr> ouh
19:27 < rxr> how do you build a packageß
19:27 < rxr> I think I did not see such a printout the last couple of days

19:35 < sirPalook> Hi. Is it possible to use an alternative libc? glibc is just too much for my target distribution.
19:35 < rxr> sirPalook: yes, sure T2 also supports uclibc and dietlibc (and eglibc, but eglibc is the same size as glibc :-)
19:35 < rxr> sirPalook: just select which C library you wanna use
19:36 < sirPalook> OK. It wasn't clear from the quick looking at the docs/faqs
19:36 < sirPalook> That's good to know!
19:38 < rxr> sirPalook: in the Config you can select the c library, as you can enforce if you create a specific target
19:38 -!- Ragnarin is now known as Ragnar|away
19:38 < sirPalook> I want to make a distribution for qemu (for porting a linux program in windows).
19:39 < sirPalook> So I'd like the entire thing to be no more than, say, 20MB.
19:39 < sirPalook> No X.
19:39 < sirPalook> Just framebuffer console.
19:39 < rxr> you probably rather want uclibc then, dietlibc is a way more minimal
19:39 < rxr> uclibc is more standard and full-featured
19:40 < sirPalook> I'll give it a try. Do you know more or less what's the size of the binary of the "base" system?
19:41 < rxr> we (http://ExactCODE.de) created systems as tiny as 6MB with glibc and less than 4MB with uclibc/dietlibc - that is a compressed image
19:41 < rxr> 20MB including glibc, mysql and more
19:41 < sirPalook> That's great!
19:41 < rxr> this depends what you include along your bare minimal stuff
19:41 < rxr> just ask when you get to the point where you further want to strip and optimize it down
19:42 < sirPalook> Just kernel, libc, gcc-core, busybox. But that's what T2 is here for.
19:42 < sirPalook> Thanks for the info.
19:43 < rxr> ok - if you want a compiler than the system will indeed be in the 20MB scale
19:43 < sirPalook> Just gcc-core (the C frontent) is about 1MB IIRC
19:43 < sirPalook> That's the cc executable and libgcc.
19:45 < rxr> ok, if you cherry pick the files than you can get GCC pretty tiny, yes :-)
