now in the wiki: iliad unofficial toolchain
Hi All!
I've started a page in the wiki with the instructions to install the iliad unofficial toolchain. The page is here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Ilia...cial_toolchain And the toolchain here: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...ts/toolchains/ I'll complete the documentation as I have time, as the page is only a bit more than a placeholder (I've omitted scratchbox configuration, and also omitted the instructions on how a windows user can install debian on vmware...) Hope is useful ;-) |

Great tutorial, as someone who's new to development and porting (but not necessarily Linux), it'll help me get started with a few projects I'd like to see ported.
I've used vmware pretty extensively on windows and linux. I can add that part to the tutorial if you'd like. |

And for everyone interested: I've finished documenting how to compile and pack programs for the iliad. See it here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Ilia...cial_toolchain I've also updated the packing helper scripts in the repository: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...ts/toolchains/ |

I've completed the wiki page about using the unofficial toolchain with the instructions for testing your apps using VNC for emulating the Iliad display.
Here it is: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Ilia...ions_using_VNC Can someone test if the instructions are reasonable complete and/or understandable? Thanks Last edited by Antartica; 03-25-2007 at 02:39 AM. Reason: fix URL |

I've got Debian setup in VMWare, have installed scratchbox etc. but now have a question and a problem:
1) On step 11 (Install the helper scripts) the dependencies-helper creates a dependencies-helper sub-directory for the archive contents so that on step 3 of "Compiling a sample program" the line ../dl-and-install -u xmhexagons can't find the dl-and-install script. So, are the dependencies-helper files meant to be in a sub-directory, or should that Step 3 line be updated to point to the dependencies-helper sub-directory? 2) When I use the dl-and-install script I get the following: Code:
Locating the package name... Looking up packages.debian.org Unable to locate remote host packages.debian.org Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?version=testing&arch=arm&case=insensitive&word=xmhexagons&searchmode=searchword Problem locating the package, exiting... Any ideas? -Mythago |

1. Do the following to install the required deps: # dpkg --info scratchbox-toolchain-arm-softfloat-gcc3.4.2-glibc2.3.3_20061031-2_i386.deb | grep Depends | cut -d : -f 2 | tr , ' ' | sed "s/(.*)//g" > sc-deps # apt-get install `cat sc-deps` 2. Use alien to convert the package into a tgz: # apt-get install alien # alien --to-tgz scratchbox-toolchain-arm-softfloat-gcc3.4.2-glibc2.3.3_20061031-2_i386.deb # mkdir t # cd t # alien ../scratchbox*toolchain*tgz 3. Then continue with the steps in the HOWTO page. Last edited by Antartica; 03-25-2007 at 03:01 AM. Reason: Fix typos/errors in the suggested commands |

ln -s dependencies-helper/*.sh . to the instructions in the wiki, so now they should be in the correct location(home of the user). Quote:
sbox$ echo nameserver the_ip_of_your_dns >> /etc/resolv.conf substituing the the_ip_of_your_dns with the IP of the DNS you use. For example sbox$ echo nameserver 80.58.32.33 >> /etc/resolv.conf If that solves it, I would have to update the wiki for that, too O:-). |
