00:01 < TheSeven> anyway, it would require the graphics stuff to be added to the kernel itself (and it doesn't really belong there), or massive changes to the way emcore boots, in order to be able to start userland processes before the kernel finishes initializing
00:02 < Viperfang> emCore as reasonably large text in the middle of the screen with the build number small and light grey underneath
00:02 < Viperfang> white emcore, black background
00:02 < TheSeven> feel free to write a kernel patch for that :)
00:02 < Viperfang> It would look awesome
00:03 < Viperfang> ok, im gonna need the svn
00:03  * Viperfang goes to find
00:03 < TheSeven> http://svn.freemyipod.org/
00:04 < TheSeven> if you don't have a rockbox build environment anyway, you'll also need to grab rockboxdev.sh
00:04 < Viperfang> Yeah, i got one of those
00:04 < Viperfang> Its currently building an android release
00:05 < Viperfang> I say building... getting the android sdk, most of the build is done
00:05 < TheSeven> but you also have the regular arm-elf-eabi toolchain installed?
00:05 < TheSeven> (the "e" option in rockboxdev.sh"
00:05 < TheSeven> )
00:05 < Viperfang> I have 3 toolchains
00:05 < Viperfang> ipod classic, sansa clip+ and android
00:05 -!- liar [~liar@clnet-p09-185.ikbnet.co.at] has joined #freemyipod
00:05 < Viperfang> well, android is a wip
00:06 < TheSeven> well, in that case, the first thing you'll probably need to do is compiling our tools
00:07 < Viperfang> checking out
00:07 < TheSeven> especially /tools/ucl and /tools/elf2emcoreapp
00:07 < TheSeven> the latter is known to be a bit picky about its environment
00:07 < TheSeven> and you'll need the BFD files from your rockbox toolchain
00:08 < TheSeven> (which usually get deleted by rockboxdev.sh after binutils compilation finishes :/ )
00:22 < Viperfang> commented out the only line that removes anything, recompiling
00:23  * [Saint] wonders what an "Android Release" is...considering there are no releases for Android ;)
00:23 < Viperfang> Its in alpha/beta type stage
00:24 < [Saint]> No, it's not.
00:24 < [Saint]> Its not even close to a beta.
00:24 < [Saint]> (offtopic anyway...just picking fun at a poor choice of wording ;))
00:25  * Viperfang continues torturing his netbook

01:08 < TheSeven> good news: dithering can definitely go away
01:09 < TheSeven> rgb666 looks less noisy, and I can't recognize any quantization artifact
01:09 < Viperfang> build of binutils finished
01:09 < Viperfang> do I take the bfd folder?
01:10 < TheSeven> you need bfd.h and libbfd.a
01:10 < Viperfang> that it?
01:10 < TheSeven> oh, and libiberty.a
01:10 < TheSeven> but that's it
01:10 < Viperfang> That was alot to compile for those 3 files
01:11 < TheSeven> yeah
01:11 < TheSeven> if you still have the binutils build dir, you can just call configure like this, and it should find things automatically:
01:11 < TheSeven> ./configure --target=arm-elf-eabi --with-binutils-build-dir=/tmp/rbdev-build/build-binutils --with-libiberty=/usr/lib/libiberty.a
01:12 < Viperfang> backed up build folder to myemcore build folder
01:18 < Viperfang> /tmp/rbdev-build/build-binutils/bfd/bfd.h:39:22: fatal error: ansidecl.h: No such file or directory
01:18 < Viperfang> thats... interesting
01:37 < Viperfang> make clean
01:37 < Viperfang> oops
01:38 < Viperfang> Any chance of a leg up?
01:39 < Viperfang> http://pastebin.com/KQid1z3M
01:59 < Viperfang> its /usr/local/lib on this system
02:01 < fmibot> New commit by theseven (r746): emCORE: iPod Classic: Make use of the LCD controller's RGB666 capabilities
UMSboot: iPod Classic: Take account for potentially changed LCDCON value
02:01 < fmibot> r746 build result: emcore: All green!
02:01 < fmibot> r746 build result: umsboot: All green!
02:03 < Viperfang> still erroring though

02:04 < TheSeven> Viperfang: IIRC that ansidecl.h in bfd.h was completely useless... just try removing it?
02:04 < TheSeven> and CFLAGS=-I/usr/include might help with libiberty.h
02:05 < TheSeven> (or, if the makefile fails to recognize that, just copy and paste the command it failed at to your terminal and fix it :P )
02:06 < TheSeven> then run make again, and it should realize that this was already built, so it won't run into the same error again

12:36 < user890104> [7]: which makefile?
12:37 < [7]> elf2emcoreapp's
12:39 < user890104> i remember that i gave up trying to fix it, because it had some complicated dependencies, and someone (maybe you) sent me his elf2emcoreapp binary
12:40 < user890104> i can try to reproduce the problem and see what's missing again

13:55 < user890104> arm-elf-eabi-elf2emcoreapp: build/installer-ipodnano2g.elf: no .text section
13:56 < user890104> and exits with return code 1
13:57 < [7]> hm, smells like BFD trouble
14:01 -!- benedikt93 [~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93] has joined #freemyipod
14:12 < user890104> i used the same ./configure string that you suggested
14:12 < user890104> and commented "rm -rf ..." in rockboxdev.sh
14:14 < user890104> #define BFD_VERSION_DATE 20100303
14:14 < user890104> this seems to be the BFD version
14:16 < user890104> from /tmp/rbdev-build/binutils-2.20.1/bfd/version.h
16:00 < [7]> http://files.freemyipod.org/misc/testpattern.emcoreapp
16:00 < [7]> in case someone wants to play around with his LCD's settings and needs a test pattern for that :)
16:02 < [7]> should work on all emcore targets, probably even the ipod touch :)
16:40 -!- Farthen_ is now known as Farthen
16:57 < Viperfang> How do I install emcore apps?
16:58 < [7]> python emcore.py run testpattern.emcoreapp
16:59 < [7]> to permanently install something, copy it somewhere on the HDD and patch the boot menu to add an option to run it :)
17:45 < fmibot> r748 build result: emcore: Red for target ipodnano4g (theseven commited)
17:45 < fmibot> r748 build result: umsboot: All green!
17:46 < fmibot> r749 build result: emcore: Red for target ipodnano4g (theseven commited)
17:46 < fmibot> r749 build result: umsboot: All green!
17:46 < Farthen> ok, the script should be fixed now. but [7] produced a nice red :)
17:48 < [7]> apparently another commit that got lost
17:48 < Farthen> yeah but it should work now
17:48 < [7]> no, i mean the red
17:48 < Farthen> ok
17:49 < [7]> i have fixed this locally, and at least tried to commit the fix
17:49 < [7]> and apparently didn't check whether that succeeded
17:49 < Farthen> so it kinda failed at committing? weird
17:49 < Farthen> do you know the error message?
17:50 < fmibot> New commit by theseven (r750): emCORE: Fix red (missing declaration)
17:50 < [7]> commits often take several minutes on our svn server
17:50 < [7]> and sometimes they time out
17:51 < fmibot> r750 build result: emcore: All green!
17:51 < Farthen> yeah, i will talk to the people operating our vserver if we can get moved to another host
17:51 < fmibot> r750 build result: umsboot: All green!
17:51 < Farthen> this one has become pretty sluggish
