irclog2html for #oe on 20060128

00:00.05kergothtkimball: it invokes the autoreconf built by oe which resides in staging, so the only m4 macros accessible to it are those in the source tree, and those which its dependent packages installed into staging.

00:02.50tkimballAh.  So irssi may have incorrect depends.
00:05.14zecketkimball: or irssi abused autotools
00:05.36kergothalso, an undefined macro error doesnt always indicate that the macro isnt available
00:05.46kergothautoconf/m4 errors arent always what you think they are
00:05.55kergoththat one could be caused by m4 quoting problems as well
00:05.56tkimballzecke: Abused?
00:05.58kergothiirc
00:06.23tkimballOh, great.  Now I'm curious how this package got compiled in the first place...
00:06.37zecketkimball: me too ;)
00:06.40zecke~pastebin
00:06.43ibotpastebin is, like, a place to paste your stuff without flooding the channel - try http://pastebin.com/, or http://pastebin.ca, or http://channels.debian.net/paste
00:06.43kergothautoconf is voodoo.
00:07.13tkimballzecke:  This irssi session is from my slug, so I *know* it works. :)
00:07.48tkimballAnyway, hang on and lemme look at pastebin.
00:08.17kergothanother thing you'll learn about autoconf... people like to automatically enable features based on the existance of libraries in the system, unfortunately. highly non-explicit.  results in builds which are decidedly not reproducable, since the autoconf macros inadverantly poke into /usr/lib on a regular basis

00:08.37tkimballGah
00:08.39kergothbuild reproducability is one of the tenets of good CM policy
00:08.43kergothheh
00:09.11zeckequality in Free Software projects sadly suck anyway
00:09.17kergothso what works on my build machine might not work on yours, if the .bb doesnt have all the necessary configure options to explicitly state things
00:09.29kergothzecke: i think the whole "show me the code" attitude is very detrimental
00:09.50kergothresults in open source projects not having the necessary non-code people.  CM/build, docs, test, etc
00:09.54kergothunfortunate
00:10.20kergothjesus, i need to get off the cvs-updates-kernel list
00:10.25kergothhovland is flooding my box
00:10.34zeckehehe
00:10.37tkimballOK.  http://pastebin.com/526625
00:10.41zeckehe flooded ähandhelds.org first
00:10.44kergothhehe
00:10.49kergothCIA?
00:11.32kergothtkimball: that's odd.  doesnt irssi depend on glib?
00:13.28tkimballYes, but the compile options show it wanting glib2 I think.  --without-glib1 --with-glib2
00:13.50tkimballI'm using the svn .bb file, since the other one was not pulling.
00:14.59tkimballDEPENDS is including glib-1.2, which *sounds* correct.
00:15.57kergothwait, we're enabling glib2, but depending on glib1?
00:16.00tkimballGah.  All this so I can get some of the features turned back on.
00:16.31tkimballYeah, I just realized, going to go look for what glibs are avail on your listing.
00:17.06kergothtkimball: annoying thing with m4/autoconf.  if my configure script uses a macro from a dependent package, even a package i might end up disabling via a configuire option, you still need that macro around to regen the configure script.  so you either need to depend on everything, even things you arent going to enable support for, or you need to include a local copy of those macros.
00:17.31zeckeRP: how many people applied for ssh accounts for git?
00:17.37kergoththats one advantage to using pkg-config instead of the dependent package's m4 macros
00:18.08kergoth:w
00:18.13kergothbah
00:18.13tkimballAh.  Ok, lemme try changing that to glib-2.0 and try again.

00:30.11tkimballkergoth: Well, that got automake to stop complaining anyway.  Now one of its C files have freaked out, but that I can deal with for now. ;)
00:30.19kergothhehe
00:30.21kergothone step at a time
00:31.04tkimballCurious - There a place I can collect changes for the bitbake compile - if they're fixes for bitbake/slugos and not irssi itself?
00:31.58tkimballAs it stands, I'm gonna have to stop again and get a clean compile of irssi normally, to confirm.
00:31.58kergothcreate patches, put them in an appropriate place, adjust the .bb to apply them
00:32.14kergotherr, misunderstood
00:32.23kergothare you asking about fixes to the .bb in OE?
00:32.27kergothbitbake is the tool, not the metadata
00:33.10tkimballIf the problem is not irssi itself (i.e. I need to make changes to fix irssi to compile in ARM), is there a separate patch setup?
00:33.38kergothmake changes _to what_?
00:33.48tkimballirssi's c files, sorry.
00:33.48kergoththe irssi codebase? the compile commands in the .bb? what?
00:34.01kergothright then, make a patch

10:16.52ade|deskbitbake is 337
10:17.37RPade|desk: gpe-image works here so I suspect something on your system isn't up to date?
10:18.04RPade|desk: Are you sure its the right version of bitbake - look in lib/bb/utils.py for a function called explode_deps.,.
10:19.23gremlin[it]good morning RP ! :)
10:19.48ade|deskdef explode_deps(s): ....... etc yup
10:20.17RPade|desk: and you're building gpe-image?
10:20.24ade|deskyup
10:20.47RPWhich packages isn't it building exactly?
10:21.53ade|deskxstroke was a 404 not a gz that killed it, then when i rerun gpe-image it skips the other packages that didn't get build either
10:23.05RPSo what you're saying is that if part of the build chain fails, it doesn't rerun that part of the chain?
10:23.18ade|deskindeed
10:23.58ade|desksame if i try building the individual task-blobs
10:24.24RPBuilding the individual task packages won't build the runtime dependencies
10:24.40RPYou'd want something like meta-blob for that
10:24.50RPCan you do a "bitbake -n -D -D -D gpe-image" and post the log somewhere. It will be large

10:57.44IfaistosRP: It's rather strange. If no .bb files are added/removed the way the bitbake generates the scripts should not have changed
10:58.24RPIfaistos: The generated scripts changed? or the build order?
10:58.44IfaistosRP: The build order
10:59.18RPIfaistos: The build order can depend on what was already built
11:00.30IfaistosRP: From what i understood these past few days, is that if one .bb file is not set up correctly you are in for some serius debugging
11:01.19IfaistosRP: Especially if DEPENDS and friends are not set up correclty
11:01.31RPIfaistos: You get to have a feel for how bitbake does things
11:01.59RPIfaistos: Most packages don't have extra PROVIDES in the way the python .bb file you had problems with does
11:02.58IfaistosRP: Now i am faced with a new problem...
11:03.30IfaistosRP: I am trying to build libxml as native and "normal"
11:03.54IfaistosRP: The bb is the same in both cases (only the name changes)
11:04.15IfaistosRP: But the native one does not even make configure
11:05.06RPIfaistos: Did you inherit native?
11:05.17IfaistosRP: yes
11:05.37RPIfaistos: Then the bb is not the same in both cases...
11:07.05IfaistosRP: I though that the diffeence between inherit autotools and native would be where the final results ends
11:07.30IfaistosRP: But eitherwise they are the same
11:07.44RPDid you just inherit autotools or both autotools and native?
11:07.45IfaistosRP: Or so i thought :/
11:08.02IfaistosRP:Only native
11:08.21RPI suspect you want both. Note that order is important
11:08.39RPHave a look at some of the other -native .bb files
11:08.52RPThey usually include the normal one, then tweak a few things
11:09.13RPFor instance DEPENDS might need to be -native ones rather than "normal" ones
11:09.39IfaistosThis is what i did

11:35.42pb__RP: what sort of power saving do you actually see from dyntick?
11:36.54pb__fwiw, the ipaq backlight on moderate brightness seems to consume about 400mW; maybe twice that at full brightness.
11:38.25RPpb__: I've not measured any change in the power consumption. I guess if I turned off the backlight, cpufreq and the wifi card I might but I wasn't particularly interested in doing so at the time
11:38.46RPpb__: 400mW sounds similar to the Zaurus backlight
11:39.28RPUpon startup the device can use up to 2W of power :-/
11:39.33pb__mm, right.  it sounds like the dyntick code still leaves something to be desired then.  I think you ought to be able to get at least a measurable improvement that way.
11:40.04koenmaybe userspace is being to un-idle
11:40.13RPThe pxa code might not be complete - I couldn't work out exctly what it was doing when I looked breifly at it...
11:40.44pb__yeah, it's also possible that userspace is screwing it up.  matchbox-panel, for example, certainly used to do that.
11:41.02pb__Does it have any instrumentation to tell you how long it's actually sleeping for between ticks?
11:41.18RPNot that I saw

11:43.16pb__The total power consumption on an h3900 when it's sitting quietly is about 1W (including about 400mW for the backlight as above).  Out of the remaining 600mW, I imagine the majority is being used by the CPU and RAM.
11:44.25RPpb__: The Zaurus uses much less than that. When sitting idle, it uses about 500mW or which 400mW is the backlight
11:44.51RPThe CPU/memory don't appear to use much at all. This could be cpufreq of course...
11:45.05pb__ah, that's interesting.
11:45.08pb__what RAM is in the zaurus?
11:47.08IfaistosRP: Yes that did the trick. Thanks  :) btw is there a reason that most of the libs in oe don't have a lib*-native.bb ?
11:47.15pb__actually, that 1W figure was a bit inaccurate.  having actually looked at my h3900 now, the real number is more like 700mW.
11:48.50RPpb__: At somepoint I'll have a go at optimising the zaurus a bit more. I did have a look at its sleep power consumption and have that equivalent between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels now (for c7x0). I still see differences with cards inserted/removed though which worries me...

18:27.01rob_whow would i switch inside a disto.conf different preferred gcc`s based on the MACHINE used ?
18:28.55pb__PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross_death = "2.95.3"
18:29.16pb__would give you gcc 2.95.3 for MACHINE="death"
18:30.35rob_wif scary
18:31.23rob_wso that will then also override declarations with _death or similar ?
18:31.34pb__of course, doing this for c++ packages would destroy binary compatibility, so extreme caution is advisable
18:31.35rob_wi mean without
18:31.38pb__yes
18:32.11pb___death will prevail if both are defined
18:32.36rob_weven more scary
18:32.47rob_w:-) Thanks  
18:33.40rob_wi need this for the alchemy based stuff
18:33.58pb__ah, right
18:34.24pb__if your situation is actually generic to mips, rather than being truly machine specific, you probably want to use an override on TARGET_ARCH instead.
18:34.50rob_wto put in familiar.conf ?
18:36.02pb__i.e. PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross_mips or something
18:36.02rob_wbut i cant say if this apply`s for all mips ,.. but it works for AMD alchemy based ones ( so far )
18:36.40pb__okay

20:02.13shadowshi guys.  so i'm building this OpenZaurus image on amd64 host, and the resultant kernel 2.6 is too large for my target platform; there is a script which checks the size of the image and halts the build process if size exceeds a predetermined number.  this process thus fails on my amd64 host machine.
20:02.40shadowshowever, it does NOT fail on another OZ user's host machine when building from the same source branch, and same OZ target
20:03.13shadowswhat might cause this to be different, when supposedly myself and the other user are building with the bootstrap compiler?

21:15.23shadowsi should have, but hose-head who sold me the Z forgot them
21:15.33shadowsthen promised screen protectors, never sent those eitehr
21:15.50CoreDump|homeheh
21:15.59shadowsi got a lot of his kit though (usb keyboard, mini mouse, hub, other cables, 100/120 adapter) for total $500usd
21:16.05shadowsno complaints there
21:16.44CoreDump|homeUSB host on Z rocks
21:17.04RP2.6.16-rc1-git4 works on the Z :)
21:17.07shadowsit's neat to have that, i wish the USB host port was in a different physical orientation
21:17.20shadowsRP: what do you mean, a stock kernel?
21:17.41CoreDump|homeRP: way to go
21:18.00RPshadows: Mine is heavily patches but you need about two bytes of changes to make a stock one work
21:18.06JustinPRP: the keyboard with the 2.6 kernel on the C3000 is very non-usable....
21:18.17RPJustinP: In what way?
21:18.21shadowsRP: very nice, congrats on the payoff of much hard work
21:18.37shadowsJustinP: arrrrrrrrrre you ssssssuure?
21:18.40shadows<PROTECTED>
21:18.41JustinPRP: I had assumed from previous e-mails and such I'd read that it just had a high repeat rate
21:18.49JustinPRP: but I'm not really seeing that
21:19.04JustinPIt sometimes repeat a char many times even though I pressed it only quickly
21:19.05RPThis kernel is actually testing a fix for that...
21:19.09JustinPand it often misses my key presses
21:19.22shadowsyes
21:19.25JustinPI'm either using r0 or r1, not sure which
21:19.52RPI'm altering the scan delay from 100ms to 50ms. It appears to fix the errors I sometimes see
21:19.55shadowsRP: hey, while you're here, i want to ask what might result in the kernel 2.6 building too big for c3000 on amd64 host A, when amd64 host B builds it fine.   .dev branch.
21:20.25shadowsi asked in #oe but that isn't the very chatty channel
21:20.36JustinPthat coupled with USB client not working with Windows and my wireless card not turning on (I may be doing it wrong, of course) make the 2.6 kernel still unusable for me :-(
21:20.37RPshadows: That sounds very bad :-/
21:20.47RPshadows: This is #oe btw ;-)
21:20.48shadowsRP: yes.  it is hard for me to think, what might be the cause
21:21.06pb__shadows: just fyi, this is in fact #oe.
21:21.09shadowsi am just too excited by receiving a package in the mail
21:21.12shadowsthanks guys
21:21.15shadowsmea culpa
21:21.16shadowsokay
21:21.20JustinPnot to complain, of course, the 2.6 kernel is runing otherwise quite smoothly :-)
21:21.21shadowsso where to begin finding out what is wrong?
21:21.40shadowsi want very much to build the kernel 2.6 and help test
21:21.41RPJustinP: I have some comments in my inbox which might lead to working RNDIS for cxx00...
21:21.56JustinPRP: I see
21:22.08RPshadows: Compare the two kernels with objdump and see which bit of it changed size so much...
21:22.33JustinPRP: in the case of both g_ether and g_file_storage windows seems to see it pretty much right but it never finishes installing
21:22.36RPJustinP: I did try very hard to make it work. It looks  like some problem with zero length packets...
21:22.36shadowsRP: oh okay
21:22.41JustinPRP: (of course you may know all this already...)
21:22.57JustinPg_ether starts installing the driver and never stops
21:23.01RPJustinP: I can tell you exactly where it stops working ;-)
21:23.25RPJustinP: down to the line of code - see my post to linux-usb-devel
21:24.05JustinPg_file_storage has parts recognized by Windows ever so slowly and gets a disk drive installed, but it never shows up anywhere but in the device manager
21:24.12JustinPhmmm...not on that list....
21:25.04RPJustinP: Just be thankfully we have usb client for now :)
21:26.05JustinPyou mean with a Linux host?
21:27.38RPJustinP: Yes. Its a little worrying g_file_storage doesn't work though. I never tested that mind :)

22:02.25pH5is there a way to stop bitbake from building python-native? ASSUME_PROVIDED doesn't work anymore as it's built via RDEPENDS from ipkg-utils-native.
22:02.36gremlin[it]there isa limit to the length of a string in the .bb .conf files when VARIABLE=" val1 val2 val3" is done ?
22:07.03RPpH5: Assume provided should work. The answer might be to remove python-native from ipkg-utils-native thought...
22:11.04pH5RP: the ignored_dependencies list (aka ASSUME_PROVIDED) is only checked against depends_list (DEPENDS).
22:12.34pH5RP: hm. but since python is needed for bitbake anyway, who needs a local python-native build?
22:15.29kergoth_pH5: iirc, the native python build is necessary to build the cross python, but nothing else
22:17.31pH5kergoth_: thanks. I'll just remove the python-native RDEPEND from ipkg-utils-native, then.
22:18.20kergoth_good plan
