xz tools for a 3

twobob · 08-22-2012, 01:14 PM

I am needing these for today. So I am sharing...

[root@kindle src]#find /mnt/us -name 'xz*'
xz xzcat xzcmp xzdec xzdiff xzegrep xzfgrep xzgrep xzless xzmore

I used the 2006q3 CS TC (which amazingly didn't choke)

[root@kindle src]# xz --version
xz (XZ Utils) 5.0.3
liblzma 5.0.3

Spoiler:

To install. I dump them on the /mnt/us.

I run my . /go wangle and I'm good for the rest of that seesion.

no other documentation or assistance on offer I'm afraid. I shoved my script in to make life a bit easier. These are the tools. This is how I run them. If that's not for you? Nothing to see here. move along now...

Cloned from latest GIT (dated today)

you@dev ~/GIT/xz $ git clone http://git.tukaani.org/xz.git

Autogenned up a config.

built with you@dev ~/GIT/xz $ ./configure --prefix=/mnt/us --exec-prefix=/mnt/us --with-gnu-ld --disable-rpath --disable-assembler --target=arm --host=i686-pc-linux

and

export ARCH_FLAGS="-march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -mfpu=vfp"
export CC="arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc"
export CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector -O2 -ffast-math ${ARCH_FLAGS} -pipe -fomit-$
export CXXFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector" CPPFLAGS="-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE"
export HOST=i686-pc-linux
export BUILD=arm
export LDFLAGS="-static"

for good measure.

As I always say - when I logon to my 3 I run
cd /mnt/us; . ./go
where go is a custom script that contains:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/mnt/us/usr/lib:/mnt/us/lib
$PARTIAL=/mnt/us/bin:/mnt/us/home/root:/mnt/us/usr/local/bin/opkg-utils
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/mnt/us/usr/bin:$PARTIAL

The files included in here are the complete files AFTER they have had the sym links deferenced out of them via the knc1/twobob double tar pass wangle.

They may blow up your house. Okay maybe not, but they should be considered "experimental". Please, don't ever install something that you are not confident with - nor ever play with a device you cant afford to have bricked.

thanks

EDIT: I shoved in my script and the . flags include I use occasionally for your convenience.

Henjoy!

[root@kindle src]# readelf -d /mnt/us/usr/bin/xz

Dynamic section at offset 0x1300c contains 28 entries:
Tag Type Name/Value
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [liblzma.so.5]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgcc_s.so.1]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libpthread.so.0]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]

should be okay with the go wangle.

I am working on an auto-script today to hopefully elide the needs for individual shell scripts. I checked on mine. works great.

Looks nice. Thanks!

twobob · 08-22-2012, 02:45 PM

no worries. I was wondering about making an Arch-arm-linux-pacman-like thingy for the kindles. http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guid...age-management

WIP. see what I come up with.
It's simple stuff really.

works okay, seemingly : ) tar in busybox doesn't have lzma (Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm) switch but meh -

Close enough for Jazz. Get's me one step closer.

If we built Git for the kindles, then we could have a repo of kindle hacks. The only problem with that is not being able to pick and choose which specific ones to download.

twobob · 08-22-2012, 04:01 PM

hmm... maybe

YUM seems like a better choice no?

Have you notice this link at the top left of every page?
https://dev.mobileread.com/trac/hub/

MR already has a repository service, only no one uses it.

twobob · 08-22-2012, 04:12 PM

I had seen it.

But as it was entirely bereft of kindle stuff I - probably wrongly - thought there might be a damn good reason for that. : D

I like YUM. I've heard packaging rpm files are easier than deb files but honestly I have no idea.
