buildroot

REF:  http://opencsl.openfoundry.org/Lab01_intro.rst.html

1. Get the latest Buildroot ... I do in this way...

svn co svn://uclibc.org/trunk/buildroot

:

At revision 26250

2. make menuconfig

(a) Target Architecture ==> (X) arm

(b) Toolchain ==> [*] Enable RPC

(c) Target filesystem options ==> [ ] ext2 root filesystem

(d) Kernel -> Kernel type ==> (X) none

3. make

:

extra/scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for ‘getline’
/usr/include/stdio.h:651: error: previous declaration of ‘getline’ was here
make[1]: *** [extra/scripts/unifdef] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home2/yenping/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/uClibc-0.9.30.1′
make: *** [/home/yenping/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/uClibc-0.9.30.1/.configured] Error 2

3. vi ./toolchain_build_arm/uClibc-0.9.30.1/extra/scripts/unifdef.c
find all getline() , and replace as getline2()

there shall be 3 getline() to be replaced...

4. make

Just leave and have a break, because it may take times... :)  

5. vi ~/.bashrc and add below line

export PATH=~/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin:$PATH

6. source ~/.bashrc

To be continued 

gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256

Terrible !!!

This morning, my Ubuntu 9.10 box message box showed 'gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256' , and then I could not login my box anymore !!! But it's lucky, I could login as root.  Try to look for answers from google, but none of them worked !
[1] sudo chmod 755 /etc/gconf/*
[2] sudo chmod -Rc yenping:yenping /home/yenping

However, case [1] gave me some ideas, and I found permissions of /tmp becomes 755.
After below command, it works for me :)
[3] sudo chmod 777 /tmp

But I still have no more idea about that ~ confused !
Just keep records !

Then it works fine for me :)

OpenOffice 3.1.1 Installation

1. Download latest openoffice tar ball from http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

2. Extract tar ball to somewhere

3. cd somewhere/DEBS
4. sudo dpkg - i *.deb
5. cd desktop-integration
6. sudo dpkg - i *.deb

7. If something wrong with unexpected error and trying to recover Untitle 1 document again and again, just do 'rm ~/.openoffice.org', and re-install openoffice.


After that, everything works fine for me :)
