Experiences with building

[Ryan Raasch]

Hello,

I have one of these mediamvps and see a lot of potential in it. So i
thought i would give it a whirl to compile all on my machine, and see
how difficult to use the cmyth lib. I would like to use enlightenment
instead of wxwindows. And also run NFS mount.

But, the environment did not build out of box.

1. I am running the newest ubuntu (gcc-4.3). Which fails to compile the
powerpc toolchain. Switching to gcc-4.1 fixed this problem.

2. Once the toolchain was build, i then ran

scons V=1 TARGET=mvp

But ran into problemsscons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
build_action(["dongle/install/mvp/bin/busybox"],
["/home/ryan/downloads/busybox-1.1.3.tar.bz2"])

build_action(["dongle/install/mvp/lib/libFLAC.a",
"dongle/install/mvp/include/FLAC/stream_decoder.h"],
["/home/ryan/downloads/flac-1.2.1.tar.gz"])
sh: line 0: cd:
/home/ryan/src/mvpmc-test/dongle/libs/flac/mvp/flac-1.2.: No such file
or directory
sh: line 0: cd:
/home/ryan/src/mvpmc-test/dongle/libs/flac/mvp/flac-1.2.: No such file
or directory


So it seems to cut off the last part of the file name. Which the below
"fixed". I don't know if it is my system or what.

diff --git a/scons/oss.py b/scons/oss.py
index d1830d8..113063e 100644
--- a/scons/oss.py
+++ b/scons/oss.py
@@ -99,7 +99,7 @@ def build_action(source, target, env):
      tar = tarfile.open(src, 'r:%s' % ext)
      for i in tar:
          j = i.name.find('/')
-        dir = '%s/%s/%s' % (path,buildtarget,i.name[:j])
+        dir = '%s/%s/%s' % (path,buildtarget,i.name)
          break
      if os.path.exists(dir):
          os.system('rm -rf %s' % dir)


I am in the middle of tracing my build steps to get the patches, etc.
correct. I will follow up with the other steps that i had problems with.


Thanks,
Ryan

Thank Ryan, I missed this message and just spend three nights trying
to figure this out.  I forget how much information is on the mailing
list and I notice that someone updated the wiki too.  Good job to all
involved.  I also used update-alternative for this and for python (to
2.5) as I read about other scons issues with 2.6
