Platform SDK and SB2
Compiling with the SDK (FIXME)
Cross compilation tools are not currently available in the SDK out of the box. To setup cross compiling for N950 (armv7hl) do the following inside the sdk chroot
sudo zypper ref sudo zypper in scratchbox2 qemu-usermode
add repository containing cross compiler and install needed packages from there
sudo zypper ar http://releases.merproject.org/releases/0.20120209.1/builds/armv7hl/packages/ cross sudo zypper ref sudo zypper in cross-armv7hl-gcc cross-armv7hl-binutils
extract Nemo N950 rootfs to for example your home directory
mkdir -p $HOME/n950rootfs cd $HOME/n950rootfs sudo tar xjvf /path/to/nemo-n950-image.tar.bz2
Set file permissions for the n950 rootfs
sudo chown -R <your username> n950rootfs
you might also need to give write permissions to some places like bin, sbin and so on.
sudo chmod u+w bin
initialize scratchbox2
cd $HOME/n950rootfs sb2-init -d -L --sysroot=/ -C --sysroot=/ -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm-dynamic nemo-n950 /opt/cross/bin/armv7hl-meego-linux-gnueabi-gcc
if you get an error compaining about tmp do
sudo chmod 777 /tmp
and try again. the compiler should now work but you are still missing libraries to compile against. Install what you need into the n950 rootfs by
sb2 -eR zypper ref sb2 -eR zypper install ...
If the installation fails due to permission errors give your user write permissions to the places the packages are being installed and retry. After this you can compile for example a c hello world by
cat << "EOF" > hello.c #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Hello\n"); return 0; } EOF sb2 gcc hello.c -o hello
verify that the compilation worked
$ file hello hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.25, not stripped $ sb2 ./hello Hello
