Why EABI matters

Why EABI matters

[Andrés Calderón]

This article describes the floating point performance benefits of the
ARM EABI. The authors use an open source floating point benchmark to
compare how compiling with EABI support can improve floating point
performance.  The  benchmark platform is based in OE.

Checking which packages build

[Stelios Koroneos]

Greetings to all !

I have started from yesterday an effort to build all packages in OE one by
one in order to verify if they build or not and post the relative bug
report.
I will continue this during the weekend (as time permits)
Results from the build are also posted in Tinderbox
http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tinderbox/showbuilds.pl?tree=oplinux

I am building on an i686 (P4 Celeron @ 2.5 GHz) for x86 using gcc 4.1.1 and
libc 2.5

Please check the bugtracker, verify if the package build/fails for you and
submit any info and/or patches you might have.
Include info about your build machine, target and distro
Those with write access to the OE rep, plese do not push any changes
directly and please do not close any of the bugs until the process halts.

Thanks in advance to everyone for their time

Great.  Thank you.  Are you doing this manually?  I just learned about 
seppuku.bbclass on IRC which might help you a great deal with your 
endeavour.

All hail zecke!
