[U-Boot-Users] ELDK 2.2.0 (patched 2.1.0) doesn't install on Gentoo

[Jonas Mark-r50740]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the ELDK 2.2.0 (i.e. a patched 2.1.0) on a Gentoo 1.4 system. To do so I prepared a CD as described on www.denx.de. I already used the CD on two SuSE 8.2 systems with no problems. On the Gentoo system the installation starts just fine but suddenly stops without an error message.

I attached a strace of what the installer is doing. Maybe somebody has an idea what is going wrong and how to work around.

[U-Boot-Users] ELDK 2.2.0 (patched 2.1.0) doesn't install on Gentoo

[Ruhland, Paul]

By 'patched' I assume you mean using the patch found here:

  ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/tmp/ELDK-update-2.2.0.tar.bz2

If that is the case, you have not patched it correctly or forgot to patch it
before creating your iso/cdrom.  I have installed the 'patched' version on
several Gentoo boxes and it works fine.

The problem you describe was the behavior prior to patching.

[Jonas Mark-r50740]

Paul,

sadly I am really sure that I patched it because I had a 2.1.0 CD which did not install on a SuSE 8.2 system. Then I patched the CD to 2.2.0 using the patch you are mentioned. Then it installed just fine. Now I didn't even change the physical CD and it does not work.

On the my ELDK 2.1.0 CD tools/bin/rpm has a size of 1652016. On my 2.2.0 CD tools/bin/rpm has a size of 2086912. That should at least proof that I exchanged rpm while patching.

Additionally, I just tried to install ELDK from my 2.1.0 CD on a SuSE 8.2 box. It crashes. I tried it with my 2.2.0 CD. It works. I really wonder how my Gentoo system differs from yours.

Regards
Mark

Where are you guys getting ELDK version 2.2.0??  I don't see it at a tag in the CVS repository, on ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk or on ftp.denx.de.

I've extremely interested in getting the ELDK to install on my Gentoo machine.

There is no official release of 2.2.0; the next release will be  3.0.
But reading the FAQ gives you some hints ;-)

[U-Boot-Users] ELDK 2.2.0 (patched 2.1.0) doesn't install on Gentoo

[tguilliams at synergymicro.com]

Thanks Wolfgang but it still doesn't work for me. Probably because I am using what Gentoo considers an unstable system build (meaning beta releases of system libs).

I had been talking to Paul Ruhland offline about his success in installing on Gentoo and the only difference is he builds a Gentoo stable system environment.

Is there any way I could get specifics on libs in question that I might be able to better isolate my problem(s)?

Thanks again,

Tom

P.S.  Is this the correct mailing list to discuss ELDK issues or should it be the linux ppc embedded list?

Probably. Don't do this, then ;-)

Run "ldd" on the RPM binary to see what it needs; please be aware the
glibc will dlopen other libs as well (like libnss*).

I really don't know either.

My Gentoo installation is (except for Mozilla Thunderbird, Firebird and 
Samba) also a stable build and it doesn't work. These are my build settings:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is not defined.
