Cross-Compiling dif result

Hi,

Tried to build a Cross-Compiling platform to compile the firmware:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 273177367 May 29 2005 GPL_1927.zip

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2015762 Jun 24 2005 hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3-full.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16200754 Jun 11 18:51 wl500g-1.9.2.7-7e.tar.bz2

Files that I got from from oleg's Page http://wl500g.dyndns.org/
Using

Code:

#!/bin/sh OLEG=wl500g-1.9.2.7-7e if [ -d broadcom ]; then echo "Removing old broadcom tree..." rm -rf broadcom fi echo "Unpacking Asus GPL source..." tar xzf GPL_1927.zip echo "Unpacking OLEG source..." tar -C broadcom/src/ -xjf ${OLEG}.tar.bz2 if [ ! -G /opt ]; then echo "You should create /opt as root:" echo "mkdir /opt && chgrp users /opt && chmod g+w /opt" echo "Then continue as regular user!" exit 1 fi if [ -d /opt/brcm ]; then echo "Removing old toolchain..." rm -rf /opt/brcm fi echo "Installing broadcom toolchain..." mv broadcom/opt/brcm /opt BRCM="/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel" PATH=${BRCM}-linux/bin:${BRCM}-uclibc/bin:${PATH} export PATH cd broadcom/src/${OLEG} echo "Creating uClibc..." make uClibc echo "Creating kernel..." make kernel echo "Creating gateway..." make echo "Compiling gateway..." cd ../gateway make echo "Creating firmware..." make image-WL500g

No error but the result files are different from OLEG's

06/11/2006 09:25p 3,751,936 WL500g-1.9.2.7-7e.trx Oleg’s

I also tried to compile the http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/OpenWRT
ndas-1.0.1-23.tar.gz that compile without problems but them...

The modules load OK but

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root 46687 Nov 22 00:04 ndasadmin
[@wl500g tmp]$ ./ndasadmin
-sh: ./ndasadmin: not found

Can someone help me on these 2 problems?

Oleg always post-include nmap binary in its firmwares.
So you can never expect the same binary. Even if nmap would not be included, binaries would not be the same becaus of possible difference in direcory tree traversing during LZMA compression.

tcpdump. not nmap. :)

OOps. Correct. My wheels. Out of the inner circle.

Regarding kernel module and problem with admin I must say that you must export paths in a proper way. The best way is to start with Optware packaging for Oleg firmware ant then prepare make/ndas.mk to reflect this.

See http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/Optware-uClibcBuild
and http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/OptwareWl500gBuild

Thanks for your help.

I Installed the Toolchain and produced this ndas.mk file.

I'm able to download the package but then the package is waiting for this :

Code:

export NDAS_KERNEL_PATH={kernel path} export NDAS_KERNEL_VERSION=2.4.20 export NDAS_KERNEL_ARCH=mips export NDAS_CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- export NDAS_CROSS_UM_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-uclibc-gnu- export NDAS_EXTRA_CFLAGS="-mlong-calls -DNDAS_SIGPENDING_OLD" make ndas_version=1.0.1 ndas_build=23 all ndas-admin

How do I include these in the ndas.mk file?

Can you please help? This will be my first pakage .... is I get some support.

built target should look like

Code:

# This builds the actual binary. # $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built: $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.configured rm -f $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) \ CPPFLAGS="$(STAGING_CPPFLAGS) $(NDAS_CPPFLAGS)" \ LDFLAGS="$(STAGING_LDFLAGS) $(NDAS_LDFLAGS)" \ NDAS_KERNEL_PATH=/path/to/your/full/kernel/sources \ NDAS_KERNEL_VERSION=2.4.20 \ NDAS_KERNEL_ARCH=mips \ NDAS_CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) \ NDAS_EXTRA_CFLAGS="-mlong-calls -DNDAS_SIGPENDING_OLD" \ $(MAKE) -C $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR) touch $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built

If you are going to build kernel module for firmware on wl500g.dyndns.org then "oleg" is not the right target. You should use "wl500g" as target. This will use correct tolchain.

And the path should be /root/broadcom/src/linux/linux according to your log.

Here is a portion which builds for me:

Code:

# # This builds the actual binary. # $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built: $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.configured rm -f $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) \ CPPFLAGS="$(STAGING_CPPFLAGS) $(NDAS_CPPFLAGS)" \ LDFLAGS="$(NDAS_LDFLAGS)" \ NDAS_KERNEL_PATH=/local/leon/p/wl/wl500gx/broadcom/src/linux/linux \ NDAS_KERNEL_VERSION=2.4 \ NDAS_KERNEL_ARCH=mips \ NDAS_CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) \ NDAS_EXTRA_CFLAGS="-mlong-calls -DNDAS_SIGPENDING_OLD" \ $(MAKE) -C $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR) all ndas-admin touch $(NDAS_BUILD_DIR)/.built

If you are going to submit the whole ndas.mk and building ipk then please bear in mind that there should be no absolute paths.

carefuly inspect my prevoius post and you will be there. Prepare packaging as instructed in ipkg directory. Remove absolute paths from building and post it here if it works. Overcome somehow confirmation for the copyright and include it in ipkg.

It compiled. But :mad: it does not work.

modules load OK
ndasadmin works ok
./ndasadmin start OK
./ndasadmin register OK
./ndasadmin enable router just stops.

They have other rev. in the site I will try to see if the other works:rolleyes:

I will keep you posted.

Regarding other IPK packages that use the kernal do you know any that I can look to learn? To see how is done "Remove absolute paths from building"

I could just put a variable at the begining of the mk file would this be OK?

You have been great

cross compiling with the toolchain

allright, I have:
asus toolchain for mips
puppy linux
an open source source package that needs to be compiled

so, my question is: how do I use the toolchain to compile a source?
I''ve looked all over the internet but I can only find things like "hey its not working".

Does anyone knows something about this?
even if you answer "look at this file"
it''ll be helpfull:D

I also still wonder why ppl write a readme without any [enters], so you get one big line:mad:

wpte

thanks, I''ll take a look at it:)

I''m not really planning to do any IPKG packages, but I think it''s just the extra parameter that change it into an ipkg...
I''m first going to test some simple packages, then i''ll write a full detailed how-to, hopefully for ubuntu and puppy-linux, because I believe those are a bit more open for the public:)

I do want to try to get wine to work, maybe some windows programs will work with it:)
probably some pocket pc applications... because "wine is not an emulater":p

well, I guess it''s time to grab the cow at the horns (dutch say;))
I mean, things that aren''t clear are just rubbish, just like the wireless amp:rolleyes:

I mean open source, should be open, most real developments I''ve seen so far are in russian or german (wich I speak a little). that''s not really open.
why not share importand things in english:confused:
anyway, you got my word on the how-to:);)

Don't waste your time... Wine needs a x86 or x64 processor.

yeh for running the programs... so it might be possible, some pocket pc applications will work, you got them in mips too:)

I''m also going to try dosbox... might be a bit weird, but I still got loads of nice dos programs;)

cannot cross compile toolchain

hi people,

i have problems compiling the toolchain. here is what i do and what problems i encounter

my setup

* distro MiniMe2008 (a minimal PcLinuxOs)
* make (GNU Make 3.81)
* gcc (gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-4pclos2007))
* ld 4.1.1 ( GNU ld version 2.16.91.0.7 20060317 )
* bash (GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i586-mandriva-linux-gnu))

this is reported during the build

Code:

Checking build system dependencies: CC clean: Ok CXX clean: Ok CPP clean: Ok CFLAGS clean: Ok CXXFLAGS clean: Ok sed works: Ok which installed: Ok GNU make version '3.81': Ok C compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' C compiler version '4.1.1': Ok bison installed: Ok flex installed: Ok gettext installed: Ok Build system dependencies: Ok

I try to cross-compile the toolchain for OPTWARE_TARGET=oleg

Code:

mkdir -p /opt/slug cd /opt/slug svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk optware cd optware make oleg-target cd oleg make directories make ipkg-utils make toolchain

when making oleg-target i see the following message printed to standard out

Code:

make: /opt/slug/optware/toolchain/armv5b-softfloat-linux/gcc-3.3.5-glibc-2.2.5/bin/armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc: Command not found

this may not be a problem as everything else goes well and i can proceed with making directories and ipkg-utils without problems. when I make this two targets i get a similar warning from make, but this time for the mipsel gcc version

Code:

make: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc: Command not found

the printed path is constructed in the root Makefile

Code:

TARGET_CC=$(TARGET_CROSS)gcc

TARGET_CROSS is defined in make/toolchain-oleg.mk

Code:

TARGET_CROSS = $(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/$(TARGET_ARCH)-$(TARGET_OS)/$(CROSS_CONFIGURATION)/bin/$(TARGET_ARCH)-$(TARGET_OS)-

when building a target, all makefiles in the make directory are included in the root Makefile and one of them seems to use TARGET_CC variable even it is not used to build the corresponding package and complains about the non-existence of the directory and binary.

ok, this is not a problem now but just polutes the log output a bit. the first serious problem occurs when making the toolchain. while building, the kernel headers for the oleg-kernel are downloaded from the wrong location http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/toolchain/

Code:

wget --passive-ftp -nd -P /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/buildroot/dl http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/toolchain/linux-libc-headers-oleg.tar.bz2 --2008-06-02 17:37:49-- http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/toolchain/linux-libc-headers-oleg.tar.bz2 Resolving www.uclibc.org... 140.211.166.42 Connecting to www.uclibc.org|140.211.166.42|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found

i temporary work around this by inserting the following line in the kernel-headers.mk file which is located in oleg/toolchain/buildroot/toolchain/kernel-headers/

Code:

include toolchain/kernel-headers/kernel-headers-new.makefile include toolchain/kernel-headers/kernel-headers-old.makefile # the correct download location LINUX_HEADERS_SITE=http://www.wlan-sat.com/boleo/optware

i specified the server where the oleg-headers can be found . now i can proceed with right(?) headers

Code:

... wget --passive-ftp -nd -P /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/buildroot/dl http://www.wlan-sat.com/boleo/optware/linux-libc-headers-oleg.tar.bz2 --2008-06-02 17:47:51-- http://www.wlan-sat.com/boleo/optware/linux-libc-headers-oleg.tar.bz2 Resolving www.wlan-sat.com... 212.18.63.81 Connecting to www.wlan-sat.com|212.18.63.81|:80... connected. ...

but in the next step, the patching of uclibc fails

Code:

... wget --passive-ftp -nd -P /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/buildroot/dl http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/snapshots/uClibc-snapshot.tar.bz2 --2008-06-02 17:48:21-- http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/snapshots/uClibc-snapshot.tar.bz2 Resolving www.uclibc.org... 140.211.166.42 Connecting to www.uclibc.org|140.211.166.42|:80... connected.

this comes due to the fact that the latest snapshot version of uclibc gets downloded. the snapshot seems to be version 0.9.29(?) but the patches are for version 0.9.28. while configuring the kernel, there was no possibility to select another uclibc version as the snapshot was pre-selected.

Code:

uClibc C library Version 1. uClibc 0.9.28 (BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_0_9_28) > 2. daily snapshot (BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_SNAPSHOT) choice[1-2?]: 2 Date (yyyymmdd) of snapshot or 'snapshot' for latest (BR2_USE_UCLIBC_SNAPSHOT) [snapshot] (NEW)

i also worked around that problem by inserting the following line in buildroot.mk which is located in oleg/make/

Code:

247 ... 247 # change uclibc version from snapshot to 0.9.28 248 sed -i -e 's|^# BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_0_9_28 is not set|BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_0_9_28=y|' $(BUILDROOT_BUILD_DIR)/.config 249 sed -i -e 's|^BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_SNAPSHOT=.*|# BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_SNAPSHOT is not set|' $(BUILDROOT_BUILD_DIR)/.config 250 #endif 251 # change toolchain staging dir

now uclibc 0.9.28 is used and the build comes pretty far until uclibc++ has to be build. this fails with the following errors

Code:

... make -C abi/libgcc_eh all make[3]: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc: Command not found make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/slug/optware/oleg/builds/libuclibc++/src/abi/libgcc_eh' /bin/sh: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc: No such file or directory /bin/sh: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-ld: No such file or directory /bin/sh: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc: No such file or directory ../../../scripts/find_libgcc_eh.sh: line 8: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc: No such file or directory /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-ar x make[3]: /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/mipsel-linux-uclibc/gcc-4.1.1-uclibc-0.9.28/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-ar: Command not found make[3]: *** [unwind-c.o] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/slug/optware/oleg/builds/libuclibc++/src/abi/libgcc_eh' make[2]: *** [libgcc_eh] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/slug/optware/oleg/builds/libuclibc++/src' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/slug/optware/oleg/builds/libuclibc++'

now one can see that the non existence of the path defined in TARGET_CC causes serious build failures. all the binaries like gcc, ld and ar were build along uclibc but just exist in the staging dir of uclibc

Code:

$ cd /opt/slug/optware/oleg/toolchain/buildroot/build_mipsel/staging_dir/mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin $ la > ./ ../ ar* as* cc@ gcc* ld* nm* objdump* ranlib* strip*

now i give up at this point as i have no idea why all this errors occur. maybe some of u people can help me further in getting the toolchain to compile as i would like to add some packages for the asus wl550g router.

txs in advance and sorry for the long post. :)

Can anyone help me with cross-compiling a kernel module

Hi all,

I have wl500gp v2 running the latest oleg firmware (1.9.2.7-10), everything works great (thanks oleg), except i don't have the correct driver for my web cameras.

I have a sony eyetoy (Vendor:054c, ProdID:0155) and a creative web im vista (VF0330), this hacked driver (http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg....php/Main_Page) works great for these 2 cameras, I downloaded the driver and compiled & installed to my ubuntu desktop.

However when i try to cross compile the driver for the wl500gp, I failed, I downloaded the GPL source, toolchain and everything, but I still cannot figure out how to cross-compile the driver, I just don't have enough linux knowledge to cross-compile the kernel module.

Can anyone help me with a howto cross compile kernel module? Or can anyone please compile the latest hacked ov51x driver for me? Thank you!

crosscompile intltool error

This is a known problem on Debian and Ubuntu, and just now someone said that it's same on Arch Linux. When checking for intltool, the file intltool-update.in is checked.
So we get this error :

Code:

checking for intltool >= 0.23... awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `./intltool-update.in' for reading (No such file or directory)

Normally it could be fixed by symlinks

Code:

ln -s /usr/share/intltool/intltool-update.in intltool-update.in ln -s /usr/share/intltool/intltool-extract.in intltool-extract.in ln -s /usr/share/intltool/intltool-merge.in intltool-merge.in

but not in optware as the directory is emptied at every make. I'm trying to build transmission. Someone have some advice?
23-06-2008, 20:14

It happened that the version I wanted now became available in optware. But it would still be nice to get a solution for this problem.

use inltool 0.35 instead of 0.40.
Similar problem reported here.
23-06-2008, 22:13

I'm on Lenny (testing) where only 0.40 is available. I'll try to install it from Etch repo. The issue is reported to Debian package maintainers btw. It breaks many things.

Creating a cross compile environment

I am having trouble doing this. Anyone out there get one setup? Oleo do you want to drop me on some input on how to do this? The main goal here is to create new ipkg files. Right now I am using the instructions at nslu2-linux.org however it gets stuck while trying to build crosstools somewhere in the binutils part of things.

Debian based arch:
EDIT: There is a bug in binutils. One of the regex statements in the configure script for it is messed up. In particular it is the one to detect makeinfo. For some reason it messes up the compile. I corrected the line after the compile broke then had it restart and it went past that part so I'll start over and post the error along with the diff for the file.

Reference: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=453216

Looks like buildroot could use a patch file for that in their repository.

Relevant Error Segment:

Ok. I got the diff attached now. When the compile breaks you have to go to <optware>/buildroot/toolchain_build_mipsel/binutils-2.17.50.0.8/ or if you are building inside a target folder <optware>/<target>/toolchain/buildroot/toolchain_build_mipsel/binutils-2.17.50.0.8/

Save configure.diff to that folder then apply it to the configure script by running "patch configure configure.diff".

Replace <optware> with the root location that you placed the optware folder at. For me it is /home/shinji/optware. Replace <target> with the target folder if you chose to go that way. For me it is oleg.

Configure.diff:

Code:

--- configure.bak 2008-07-02 10:15:24.000000000 -0400 +++ configure 2008-07-02 10:21:39.000000000 -0400 @@ -3679,7 +3679,7 @@ # For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4.4 or # higher, else we use the "missing" dummy. if ${MAKEINFO} --version \ - | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[4-9]|[5-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then + | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.([1-3][0-9]|[4-9])|[5-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then : else MAKEINFO="$MISSING makeinfo"

Once that is done you can go back to the folder where you started the build process and re-run it again. It should pickup a little earlier by re-running configure and then building all of the items for you. Please note that you must have the flex package installed before letting it re-run configure. If it still fails then go back and simply run `touch configure` after installing the flex package and it will continue. I just found this out when trying to build it on xubuntu 8.04 (i386).

The build was successful on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit.

This is now solved in Transmission trunk. So I can keep on compiling these "betas" :)
Btw, are you maybe planning to remove transmissiond when transmission 1.3 is released? I don't see what use it will be when transmission-daemon is so good as it will be in 1.3 with json communication. No offense, just wondering.

now that Charles Kerr took over http://recurser.com/trac/transmission/timeline
It surely will be a advanced solution. Maybe clutch will be merged into mainline. I am just hoping that someday Clutch will have queuing and inactive torrents repository. Untill then I will stick to my daemon.
03-07-2008, 08:54

I am suggesting you that you stick with an old stable release of Debian or Ubuntu 6 if you plan to build toolchain.

Anyway I will be glad if someone can spent a few days and upgrade buildroot to uclibc 0.9.29 and port my patches tor toolchain so that it will work on oleg, ddwrt, and other brcm platforms , isolated from system uClibc.
03-07-2008, 11:46

Ok so transmissiond has more features. I didn't know that. I can just exclude transmissiond in the makefile so build doesn't break.

As I know, Oleg also has plans to migrate to new toolchain, but he is on vacation now.

I builded new toolchain based on OpenWRT development trunk 2008-06-14 (gcc 3.4.6, uClibc 0.9.29, binutils 2.17) under SuSe 10.1. Only a few extra patches needed for toolchain itself, but firmware also has to be patched due to gcc upgrade.
If you want to take a look to my patches - drop me a line.
03-07-2008, 18:48
shinji257

One thing I'll mention is that I installed the new toolchain from nslu2-linux.org fine on 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 once the above mentioned binutils configure script patch was applied. The resulting ipkg file installed correctly and the binaries ran although the end result wasn't what I had expected. Just a fyi. I was trying to build nfs-utils if I can however I think the whole thing needs the kernel to be updated to support the function. :( Otherwise the binaries worked without segfaulting.

My second attempt was on the cygwin platform so that I may simply work on my project on both systems but I'll need to solve the error on the gcc side if I want it to work.

@lly: GCC version is 4.1 so I don't know what you mean that it has to be updated to support the new version. All gcc versions are binary compatible with each other.

EDIT: Oh. I just realized what you were talking about. You updated the firmware build toolkit. That was different from what my goal was. I am just trying to build ipkg files and not necessarily the firmware.

So let see what you have had in mind. Oleg is using mine toolchain. This toolchain crates packages with uClibc independent of system libc!
If you meant that Oleg will upgrade its toolchain for fimware and system uclibc to 0.9.29 then this is good news. But again I am looking to upgrade of mine toolchain what will again bi independent of system uClibc. This way ddwrt and other brcm24 platforms can run without library clash!

The challenge to upgrade toolchain and uClibc to newer version is still open.
I can help with explanation of pathches bot have no time to spend on on upgrade.

There is also pending branch http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/...clibc-unstable
which introduced LJSJ in config that solves C++ exceptions problem on mipsel arch. Besides upgrade of course.
