| 13:18:39 | Kommppo | I'm crosscompiling an app i'm working on. It uses autotools. The app compiles ok, but libtool goes wrong when linking it. Is it possible to have libtool configured in a such a way that it would fetch libraries from $HOME/arm/lib instead of /lib (and ofcourse $HOME/arm/usr/lib instead of /usr/lib) |
| 14:25:16 | Mazone | Hi, if i screw up my installation and dont know how to fix some problem , could i do a partition reset and transfer a new filesystem again? |
| 14:28:04 | Mazone | Hello? |
| 14:34:28 | Mazone | I just dont want a brick :) |
| 14:41:05 | sjohnson | Mazone: Yes. You can do that. As longer as you have a working bootldr, your can fix any mistake. |
| 14:41:37 | Mazone | k thx, so its no problem just to do a "partition reset" and then a new image with zimage |
| 14:43:03 | Mazone | because im feed up with looking whats wrong, and i cant get some packages away and so on |
| 14:43:33 | sjohnson | Mazone: You really don't need to do partition reset. That command reset the flash parition table back to it's default |
| 14:43:58 | Mazone | k so what should i do if i want to replace the root image |
| 14:44:07 | Mazone | just dl it? |
| 14:46:33 | Mazone | load root ? |
| 14:47:14 | sjohnson | Mazone: Yes. That's all. |
| 14:48:03 | Mazone | k thx |
| 14:48:20 | Mazone | Didnt know it erased also. |
| 14:53:53 | Mazone | Howto configuring the hotplug , when u put your ipaq in a usb cradle? |
| 14:54:11 | Mazone | Does anyone done this? |
| 14:56:58 | sjohnson | Mazone: Yes. I have on done it on w/ RedHat. I just have to create a usb0 network configuration. |
| 14:57:04 | sjohnson | s/have/had/ |
| 14:59:02 | Mazone | k thx there are some faq on handhelds.org isnt it, i looked briefly on it but didnt understand exactly |
| 15:01:06 | sjohnson | Mazone: Setting USB Networking? |
| 15:01:11 | Mazone | yes |
| 15:02:19 | Mazone | 1. modprobe usb-eth 2. ifconfig "yadda.yadda.yadda.yadda" netmask x.x.x.x 3. route add default gw 192.168.0.1 |
| 15:02:39 | Mazone | to make that auto (hotplug) |
| 15:02:57 | Mazone | so first how to set this at start? |
| 15:03:11 | Mazone | then how do modprobe at (hotplug) |
| 15:03:36 | sjohnson | Mazone: You can't using hotplug onthe IPAQ to make usb networking work. |
| 15:03:42 | sjohnson | be right back |
| 15:03:44 | Mazone | k |
| 15:04:07 | sjohnson | back. |
| 15:05:08 | sjohnson | You bring up the interfaces on the IPAQ. And then when you insert IPAQ into the cradle, hotplug can bring up the desktop side |
| 15:05:55 | sjohnson | I use this method of configuring usb networking on the IPAQ. |
| 15:06:11 | Mazone | k, i use win2k as desktop |
| 15:06:29 | sjohnson | Mazone: Ah. I can't help your with that part. |
| 15:06:40 | sjohnson | But I can help withthe IPAQ side. |
| 15:07:05 | sjohnson | 1. Add this line to /etc/modules.conf |
| 15:07:09 | Mazone | k, i get it to work manuell with the bahia driver for win2k |
| 15:07:15 | Mazone | k |
| 15:07:19 | sjohnson | alias usbf usb-eth |
| 15:08:26 | Mazone | k, right now im dl the new root image, but ok ill do that |
| 15:08:53 | sjohnson | 2. Configure usbf inteface in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 15:08:59 | sjohnson | This is my configuration. |
| 15:09:02 | sjohnson | iface usbf inet static |
| 15:09:02 | sjohnson | address 10.1.1.3 |
| 15:09:02 | sjohnson | netmask 255.255.255.0 |
| 15:09:03 | sjohnson | network 10.1.1.0 |
| 15:09:03 | sjohnson | gateway 10.1.1.2 |
| 15:09:48 | sjohnson | After that your will be able to do 'ifup usbf' and 'ifdown usbf' to bring the interface up and down on the iPAQ. |
| 15:10:45 | Mazone | k, and when i start do sysv run this or what? |
| 15:11:00 | sjohnson | There is a script in the handhelds.org wiki on usb networking. You will need it to make usb networking work after a resume. |
| 15:11:08 | Mazone | k |
| 15:11:22 | sjohnson | Mazone: I don't understand your last question. |
| 15:12:17 | sjohnson | I have to go. I'll be back later. |
| 15:12:20 | Mazone | When i start my ipaq will this configuration run if i do it like this, i didnt understand what u meant with ifup/ifdown |
| 15:12:37 | Mazone | k, thx anyway ill try more :) |
| 15:13:19 | sjohnson | Oh. ifup and ifdown bring up and activate network interfaces if there are configuration in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 15:14:00 | sjohnson | Those are debian linux utilities. They basically do the ifconfig ... and route add ... stuff. |
| 15:14:39 | Mazone | k and they r activated by SysV? |
| 15:15:03 | sjohnson | If you want usbf to come up automatically. Add a line 'auto usbf' to /etc/network/interfaces |
| 15:15:16 | Mazone | k |
| 15:15:25 | Mazone | thx |
| 15:15:25 | sjohnson-lunch | is away: lunch |
| 15:15:56 | sjohnson-lunch | Mazone: You can also ask for help on #handhelds.org. There are usually more people hanging out there. |
| 15:26:17 | Mazone | k |
| 15:26:29 | Mazone | thx again sjohnson |
| 15:26:44 | Mazone | ill try your tips first and see if i can get it to work |
| 16:29:30 | sjohnson-lunch | is back (gone 01:14:05) |
