building libglib2-2.30.x with a 5 year old toolchain for the Kindle 3 via buildroot
Okay so building libglib2-2.30.x with a 5 year old toolchain for the Kindle 3 via buildroot.
It didn't work using the CS 2007 q3 TC "out of the box" so I went dumpster diving into the automake stuff. From what I could tell Configure.ac wasn't allowed to run some inline code. so I just hardwired the declares that were missing? seems to work fine now. Took me nearly a month to track down all the issues on-and-off. (oh and learn how to do any of this might I add) Next question: Why the hell would you do that? Well, basically to get stuff onto the 3 via BR each supporting structure needs to be in place and that library underpins a lot of juicier stuff. Long story short. I fixed it. "Hacked" configure.ac attached. Hope this helps someone because it was a total bum pain. cheers. may the fruits of this labour be plentiful. the file lives in ~/GIT/buildroot-k3-current/output/build/libglib2-2.30.3/ (un tar.gz it first, obviously) after doing a make -C ~/GIT/buildroot-k3-current libglib2-extract just splat it in. I really must learn to make patches. meh. live with it. YAY! a big win! Last edited by twobob; 11-02-2012 at 11:46 PM. Reason: (oh and learn how to do any of this might I add) |
