15:09.00SiegI don't get any errors during the build process, and no mention of it either
15:10.43prpplagueSieg: several ppl have reported that issue iirc
15:10.48prpplague~lart CosmicPenguin
15:10.55CosmicPenguinI love you too
15:11.18Siegprpplague: ok. any manual work around?
15:11.52prpplagueSieg: sorry i have no clue, as i use buildroot for arm based devices
15:12.01Siegheh, ok
15:12.04prpplagueSieg: the #uclibc channel has been less than helpful
15:12.08Siegtks anyways
15:12.24Siegyeah, they basically said to look in here and stop asking there
15:12.28prpplagueSieg: there are some other folks that come and go that work with buildroot as well
15:12.33prpplagueSieg: yea
15:12.40prpplagueSieg: pretty frustrating
15:12.43Sieg:\
15:12.47Kaossounds like it
15:12.51prpplagueSieg: as they are the only ones that have cvs access
15:12.52jbevren#uclibc sounds like ircnet #freebsd
15:12.53jbevrenlol
15:13.13Siegworse is that the checks according to the config files are all valid
15:13.22Siegprpplague: that would not help me much though :)
15:13.32Siegunfortunately... hehe
15:13.42prpplagueSieg: yea well fixing the issue in cvs would help
15:13.56Siegyeah, but I don't know code much, if at all
15:15.10Kaosha ha ha seems overwhelming sometimes
15:16.29prpplagueSieg: ahh
15:18.15Siegmeh, this bug has been assigned since september 19th

15:22.58prpplagueSieg: yea, if you look there are bugs assigned since januaryt\
15:25.01sjhillprpplague: you should note that the topic in #uclibc does state that buildroot discussions are held here
15:25.19prpplaguesjhill: yea because i added it
15:25.23sjhillprpplague: or your issue is that the people on #uclibc are the only ones with write access
15:25.26sjhilli did?
15:25.51sjhillnope, landley did
15:25.51prpplaguesjhill: i thought i did because it wasn't there the other day
15:25.58sjhill*shrug*
15:25.58prpplaguesjhill: he changed the wording
15:26.08prpplaguesjhill: but i originall added it
15:26.12prpplagueoh well
15:26.32sjhillso what i'm hearing is that some bug squashing in buildroot needs to happen
15:26.37prpplaguesjhill: yea the ppl with write access don't seem interested in problems with it
15:26.54prpplaguesjhill: yea
15:26.58sjhillwell, there's a lot going on with uclibc right now
15:27.04sjhillthe build system is being overhauled
15:27.07sjhillNPTL support
15:27.14sjhillsome POSIX stuff
15:27.18sjhillwe're all pretty busy
15:27.28prpplaguesjhill: agreed, but there needs to be someone who can handle buildroot issues
15:27.57sjhillprpplague: are you volunteering?
15:28.05CosmicPenguinOnly if its being promoted as a working project
15:28.06prpplaguesjhill: considering it
15:29.37sjhillprpplague: i would be willing to vote for your write access, i just need the assurance you're going to stick with it for some time
15:31.23prpplaguesjhill: let me think about it overnight
15:40.02chouimatmorning
15:50.23Siegsjhill: is there a way to manually force the compilation of a package if it's not being done by the global compilation of buildroot? (grub especially in this case)

16:06.16_darioCan someone tell me which is the exact command I should execute
16:06.40_darioin order to create a device file ttyAM0 for my serial port?
16:07.26_darioI've tried with "mknod ttyAM0 c 0 255" but when I boot my system
16:07.51_darioI have a "could not open /dev/ttyAM0"
16:09.38prpplague_dario: you have to add it to the device_list.txt file so that during the build process it is created
16:10.06_darioAnd any chance to create it after?
16:10.38prpplague_dario: depending the final result of your image
16:10.59prpplague_dario: some images can be mounted as a loop device and editied
16:12.16*** join/#elinux George (i=george@kde/developer/gwright)
16:13.05_darioprpplague: I *can* edit my image, if with "edit" you mean modifing it. It's in my hard disk.
16:15.11prpplague_dario: ok, then mount the image, cd to the mount directory plus dev/, i.e. /mnt/loop/dev and do a mknod
16:16.00_darioWhat's the exact command I should do with mknod?
16:16.48_darioI've tried with "mknod ttyAM0 c 0 255". Is this correct?
16:16.58prpplague_dario: your previous command looks correct, with the understanding that you major/major numbers may be specific to your device
16:17.38_darioHow can I understand which are the major/minor number of my device?
16:19.09prpplague_dario: depends on the device and driver you are using
16:19.39_darioAnd if I put the wrong number here the device could not work?

16:27.48_darioarm920t, (cirrus ep9315)
16:28.48_darioAh! Maybe I've found it..

16:29.37_dariocrw-------  1 root tty  204, 16 Oct 24 23:33 ttyAM0
16:29.54prpplaguethat is pretty standard for ttyAM0
16:30.03_darioSo minor=204 and major=16, correct?
16:33.38prpplague_dario: other way around
16:33.43prpplaguemajor is first

20:12.49T0mWprpplague: ok, the read operations are working ok, I am now on the write ops
20:12.50prpplagueT0mW: all i had to do was add the mmc/sd layer, it already had a good fat layer
20:13.35T0mWprpplague: yeah, it is prolly stripped down a lot more than my code.  I am going for general purpose use
20:14.16T0mWalso, it is tied in with NewLib, the (struct _reent *)r->_errno etc.
20:15.03T0mWprpplague: I'm going to take a break from it and code some other stuff for a while.
20:15.38T0mWit doesn't look like I'll be able to build the second prototype until late next week

21:35.18T0mWdoes anyone have experience with posix file streams?
21:36.31T0mWlike, if you open a stream to a device, how do you keep libc from holding data in the outgoing file buffer and get it to effectively flush the buffer each time you write to it?
21:36.42T0mWis that the isatty() function?
21:38.18T0mWis isatty() supposed to tell libc that the file descriptor is to a terminal and i/o should be done immediately,  while if the file descriptor is to another device type, it is okay to buffer data?

22:37.08T0mWYO! $65!!!
22:37.09Crofton_hmm
22:37.32Crofton_on x86_64 int is 4 bytes and ptr 8?
22:38.40CosmicPenguinCrofton: yeah
22:38.58CosmicPenguinlong is always the local system pointer size, and int is always 32
22:39.02Crofton_just checking the results of a config script I saw
22:39.25CosmicPenguinsorphin: so grock this - I'm doing NIS login, and the default shell is /usr/local/bin/tcsh
22:39.29Crofton_so the real problem is if people assumed ptr == int
22:39.43CosmicPenguinso on my old server, I add the softlink in /usr/local/bin to /bin/sh, and everyone is happy
22:39.53CosmicPenguinBut on my new server, that didn't work
22:40.17CosmicPenguinturned out that whatever combination of login/PAM/sshd on my old box resolved the softlink and then compared it to /etc/shells
22:40.26CosmicPenguinwhile my new box compared the softlink name itself to /etc/sheels
22:40.33CosmicPenguingah - took me half a day to figure out
22:40.50CosmicPenguinCrofton: oh, yeah - thats the bitch of it
22:40.55CosmicPenguinunsigned long != unsigned int
