iLiad now in the wiki: iliad unofficial toolchain

[kapoira]

step by step i'm avancing but now i can't install the scatchbox because of i don't found the package:
scratchbox-core that Depends on scratch-box
and in the repositories i have these line
deb http://scratchbox.org/debian/ ./

ans yes it's fails in the "new line" to satisfect the depends:
# apt-get install `cat sc-deps`

well step by step, we will get a toolchain that will work in lunx 32 or 64 ;-)


exist the possibility of getting a scractchbox in 64 bits¿?

If that solves it, I would have to update the wiki for that, too O:-).

And fixed again! It works fine now. Thanks!

One other question: When using sb-menu and selecting the cpu-transparency method, your instructions say to select qemu-arm but I get list of roughly six qemu-arm selections to choose from. Does it matter which I select?

I only remember one in my installation :-?. What are the options you have in the list?

I get the following items:
qemu-arm-0.7.0-sb2
qemu-arm-0.8.0-m2
qemu-arm-0.8.0-sb2
qemu-arm-0.8.1-sb2
qemu-armeb-0.8.1-sb2

I went with the first one and haven't run into any problems so far but I haven't done anything more than getting xpuzzles and a vnc client compiled and tested.

Googling around, I've found the following page:

http://scratchbox.org/download/scrat...re_advanced_1/

It seems than in the latest release of scratchbox they've included more than one version of the qemu emulator, as different versions have different bugs (so depending on the libc/compiler, one may work while the other not).

Anyway, all versions seems to work when not using very recent kernels, if I interpret correctly that page, so the version choosed is not very important to our needs.

Can I add new lib to the toolchain?

[-Thomas-]

Maybe I got your question wrong, but you can easily compile all needed libs by yourself. Just download the source and compile it inside the scratchbox environment.

This is the way I do it:

1. Often I come across a missing library when doing a ./configure for a wanted app. I look up the (Debian) package name of that lib via

apt-cache search xyz

2. Afterwards I download its source:

apt-get source libxyz-dev

3. Then I compile and install it into the scratchbox environment ("make", "make install" etc.)
4. After successfully installing the needed lib I continue with the compilation process of the wanted app. The dep-helpers ("lib-gen.sh") will then automatically find the new library.

Hope this helps.

You just got my question exact. Thank you.
