Pandora Pandora Sdk Installer

[sebt3]

I'm not really good for this ... anyway it's not really complicated, just a tar ball copy of your / to a folder of your choice in your linux formated SD card, and then you use the /bin/chroot command to this folder ... (see man chroot, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot). You may find tutos to setup a chroot env for linux.

I know how to use chroot
As this is your dev environnement and your are prolific, i though you have scripted a bit the thing to faster your work.

I just try out the toolchain.sh script :

- Installing Virtual Box
- Installing Ubuntu 10.04 in the VM
- Downloading toolchain.sh, pnd_libs.sh, libraries.lst
- Run script : sudo sh ./toolchain.sh

I got :

If you don't want to spend time installing a "fresh" SDK, here is mine (it should work properly if you install it at /usr/local/pnddev on your virtual box ubuntu distro).

Just installed it last night (using the toolchain.sh and pnd_libs.sh), I am using the latest Ubuntu in the 64bit flavor.
It started off badly with the arm compiler returning with a "file not found" error every time I ran it, after reading up on the subject all over the net, I found someone mentioning the fact that if the compiler was 32bit (which both this thread's script and the one quoted above by sebt3 install) and the operating system was 64bit, additional 32bit libraries need to be installed before it will work.

So I installed the 32bit libraries and viola! it works perfectly now.

Here's a link to a site that helped me and a quote:
helpful information

Note that if you are on AMD64, you must install 32 bit libraries or you'll get mysterious "file not found" errors when you try to run the codesourcery tools:

apt-get install ia32-libs

Hope it helps someone else...

 

[centus]

Oh, one comment, the link in the script was bad, I manually downloaded the SDK and just placed in in the ./tmp folder from where the script was, it looks for it before downloading and if it finds it, uses the local copy.

Sorry for neglecting that...

I tried this and I'm still getting file not found errors. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and when I run

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

I am told that I have the latest versions. Some Help please?

 

[PokeParadox]

Not sure what to say... I never had any trouble on my 64bit Ubuntu here... Maybe setup 32b Ubuntu in VirtualBox? (I'm working on something to this effect...)

 

[Cameleon]

Fired Ubuntu back on my EEEpc, going to put the sdk on it tomorrow. that should solve the problems with 64 bit OS's

I would recommand using Djwillis toolchain now : http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=109

Found the problem. libc 2.11 isn't available for ubuntu 9.10 so I'm having up upgrade my eeepc to 10.04 even though it kills my mobile broadband modem's usability...

Nevermind - I just copied the opkg folder from my Pandora to the SDK and it seemed to fix it.

So here's the deal...

How would I use Djwillis toolchain in code::blocks what directories do I need to setup

and what toolchain executables would I use.

Sorry if I'm asking a really obvious question but I'm used to the "old" toolchain.

Thanks in advance,

[Kordman916]

What about the search directories and link libraries?

 

[Kordman916]

Anyone?

Would you mind being more specific about what you did to get it working? I'm having the exact same issue with opkg-target.
Some other tool chain recommended copying /etc/opkg/* from my Pandora to /etc/opkg/ on my development box (in this case a fresh install of Debian Squeeze) but I haven't been successful in making it work.
