Gentoo x86_64 SDK

Hi, I'm new here, I've been lurking around and recently decided that I'm going to get an n900 - so I want to learn how to develop for it. I'm currently running a gentoo x86_64 install on my computer, there isn't really that much literature that isn't ancient on the web about how to successfully install all of the packages required on gentoo.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a guide that was less than a year old or that detailed all requirements for a fremantle SDK install on 64-bit Gentoo install? Or you could just tell me :)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

If you install apt-get, dpkg, and follow Maemo 5 Final SDK Manual Installation instructions you should get a working Scratchbox and SDK environment.

Feel free to update the documentation on wiki to include Gentoo specific workarounds, or perhaps better please update the Gentoo documentation and link to it from Maemo wiki.

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

The other option, and what I've gone for on top of a Fedora system, is to install Ubuntu in a VM and use the provided scripts to install onto that. If you then SSH into the VM you can have it forward the X traffic back to a copy of Xephyr running on the host.

Aside from giving the SDK an Ubuntu/Debian style environment it neatly contains it and avoids having to run the installer scripts as root on your actual system.

In your case (RPM-based distribution) there is also Alien and this concerts .deb to .rpm, and vice versa.

I vaguely remember there is a way to get a full Debian chroot in Gentoo using Portage, and FreeBSD Ports Collection.

After SDK is installed the user could just move /path/to/chroot/debian/scratchbox out of the chroot into host /scratchbox. Although some stuff then must be copied (and probably ported) over as well such as /etc/init.d/scratchbox-core

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

UPDATE (Oct 19, 2009): DON'T use these instructions, they contain some errors and omissions, I'm currently working on updated instructions.

Hi,

I recently installed the maemo 5 SDK on Gentoo amd64, let me try to reconstruct what I did to get it done. Maybe we can add it to the wiki after some editing.

1. Re-emerge x11-base/xorg-server with the "kdrive" USE flag enabled, this will give you Xephyr.

2. Instead of using the scratchbox installer from maemo, install the following using portage (you may have to unmask some packages):

Code:

dev-embedded/scratchbox

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-apt-https

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-debian

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-doctools

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-perl

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-qemu

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-svn

dev-embedded/scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5

3. Read the instructions "4. Installing on 64bit Debian based distrubution" at http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ma...0_installation (the stuff about vdso and where to download the installer). Install the SDK as follows:

Code:

./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta.sh –u USER -F -s /opt/scratchbox

4. Start scratchbox:

Code:

/etc/init.d/scratchbox start

5. Follow the instructions "2. Starting/shutting down the SDK UI", but use

Code:

/opt/scratchbox login

to login.

I hope this helps.

Since you're using Scratchbox on x86-64 and are into compiling business so to say :) please try this patch which works around VDSO32 issue with Scratchbox by fixing it in Scratchbox instead of requiring workaround. If works stable, could add it as official patch in Gentoo.

Thanks for the howto btw. After feedback in this thread I'll merge it into Maemo wiki. Gentoo documentation folks could link then from Gentoo Scratchbox or Maemo forums threads or wiki to the Maemo wiki entry.

It is important to keep one central place of info and let others link to it, else we get out of sync, so if it is in the Maemo wiki please help keeping it up to date as most folks here, as well as Nokia internally, run SDK on Debian-based Linux, either native or by using VM.

I think that I'll do this. It seems like the most elegant solution - no messing around with foriegn package managers or SSH xorg voodoo.

Thanks again everyone!

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

FettsVett,

Hold on with installing it as described above, I think there may be some things missing. I will install the SDK on a second Gentoo amd64 system tonight and then update the instructions.

allnameswereout,

You are welcome, I will test if the patch works after I updated the instructions.

You're using beta sh scripts. The final SDK has been released. Please use this one as reference instead

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

allnameswereout,

I just verified everything with the beta installer :-( maybe some else can test the following with the final version. Please look at the final instructions http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...K_Installation and adjust the SDK installation part below.

Here are updated instructions, please use these not the instructions above:

1. Re-emerge x11-base/xorg-server with the "kdrive" USE flag enabled, this will give you Xephyr.

2. Install app-arch/dpkg (Debian package maintenance system), this is needed by the maemo 5 SDK installer.

3. Instead of using the scratchbox installer from maemo, install scratchbox using portage. Unfortunately, scratchbox-devkit-git
and scratchbox-devkit-svn are not yet in portage, so we roll our own ebuilds (assuming PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local"):

Create /usr/portage/local/dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git/scratchbox-devkit-git-1.0.1.ebuild and paste the following into it:

Code:

SBOX_GROUP="sbox"

RESTRICT="strip binchecks"



DESCRIPTION="A cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier."

HOMEPAGE="http://www.scratchbox.org/"

SRC_URI="http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/stable/tarball/${P}-i386.tar.gz"

SLOT="0"

KEYWORDS="~x86"

IUSE=""



RDEPEND="=dev-embedded/scratchbox-1.0*"

RDEPEND=""



TARGET_DIR="/opt/scratchbox"



S=${WORKDIR}/scratchbox



src_install() {

        dodir ${TARGET_DIR}

        cp -pRP * "${D}/${TARGET_DIR}"

}

Create /usr/portage/local/dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git/scratchbox-devkit-svn-1.0.ebuild and paste the following into it:

Code:

SBOX_GROUP="sbox"

RESTRICT="strip binchecks"



DESCRIPTION="A cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier."

TARGET_DIR="/opt/scratchbox"



S=${WORKDIR}/scratchbox



src_install() {

        dodir ${TARGET_DIR}

        cp -pRP * "${D}/${TARGET_DIR}"

}

Do the following to add the ebuilds to portage:

Code:

ebuild /usr/portage/local/dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git/scratchbox-devkit-git-1.0.1.ebuild digest

ebuild /usr/portage/local/dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git/scratchbox-devkit-svn-1.0.ebuild digest

Unmask the necessary packages:

/etc/portage/package.keywords/maemo5 :

Code:

dev-embedded/scratchbox ~*

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-apt-https ~*

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-debian ~*

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-apt-https

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-debian

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-perl

dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-qemu

dev-embedded/scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5

Install everything:

Code:

emerge -av scratchbox scratchbox-devkit-apt-https scratchbox-devkit-debian scratchbox-devkit-doctools scratchbox-devkit-perl scratchbox-devkit-qemu scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5 scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5 scratchbox-devkit-git scratchbox-devkit-svn

4. Start scratchbox:

Code:

/etc/init.d/scratchbox start

5. Read the instructions "4. Installing on 64bit Debian based distrubution" at http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ma...0_installation (the stuff about vdso
and where to download the installer). Install the SDK as follows:

Code:

./maemo-sdk-install_5.0beta2.sh -s /opt/scratchbox/

NOTE: This installs the beta SDK, please try the script for the final version instead (not yet tested by me):
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...K_Installation

6. Install the nokia-binaries (URL shown by the installer script, see instructions for more info)

7. Follow the instructions "2. Starting/shutting down the SDK UI", but use

Code:

/opt/scratchbox login

to login.

Note that the versions of the scratchbox packages installed are slightly different than those installed by the maemo scratchbox installer. So far I haven't done any serious development using the SDK setup as described here nor have I tried compiling and running packages for the ARM target (unfortunately I don't have a N900 to test it).

Having just gone through the process of installing the Maemo 5 Final SDK on my x86_64 Gentoo system, I'll tell you what worked for me (taken and slightly modified from pinsh's instructions):

Code:

4. (as root) check if vdso/vsyscall is enabled:

Code:

sysctl abi.vsyscall32

sysctl vm.vdso_enabled

sysctl kernel.vdso

if any are non-zero repeat the query command and append =0 as:

Code:

sysctl abi.vsyscall32=0

ONLY if you test this and it works, you can update your /etc/sysctl.conf file by adding a line (minus the sysctl command):

Code:

abi.vsyscall32=0

make sure you test this first or it may make your system unbootable (alternatively, you can issue the sysctl command before using the SDK).

5. (as root) Start scratchbox:

Code:

/etc/init.d/scratchbox start

6. (as root) Add yourself to the scratchbox group:

Code:

gpassed sbox -a YOURUSERNAME

7. (as root) Add yourself as a scratchbox user:

Code:

/opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser YOURUSERNAME

8. (as YOURUSERNAME) Install Maemo 5 SDK:

Code:

./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh -s /opt/scratchbox/

Follow the link at the end of the install to get access to the Nokia Binaries repository (STORE THIS LINE FOR LATER).

9. (as YOURUSERNAME) login to scratchbox:

Code:

/opt/scratchbox/login

10. (in scratchbox) add Nokia Binaries:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > sb-conf select FREMANTLE_ARMEL

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > nano /etc/apt/sources.list  # add deb line stored in step 8

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > apt-get update

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install nokia-binaries nokia-apps

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > sb-conf select FREMANTLE_X86

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > nano /etc/apt/sources.list  # add deb line stored in step 8

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > apt-get update

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install nokia-binaries nokia-apps

Now you should be all set and ready to go

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

It appears that scratchbox-devkit-git and scratchbox-devkit-svn are now available in portage, so you can skip step 3. I am currently trying an install...

Ok, was able to get everything installed and working.

Oops, spoke too soon. The scratchbox environment seems to work, can start the maemo GUI. Successfully compiled the helloworld.c and gtk_helloworld-1.c for x86 target. But compile fails for the ARM target. It fails with:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/MyDocs] > gcc -Wall helloworld.c -o helloworld

/scratchbox/compilers/cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.2.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /scratchbox/compilers/cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.2.1/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems like a problem with the emerged scratchbox environment, if I install with the maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh script, both targets compiled successfully...

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

Looks like the gentoo ebuild uses an older version of the arm toolchain (1.0.12-10 instead of 1.0.12+lt1-12). I'll try modifying the ebuild to use the newer version and see whether this fixes it.

erdferkel

2009-12-09 08:55

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

Hi Rob1n, I just tried doing what you suggested by creating an overlay with the 1.0.12+lt1-12 package and it installed successfully. But it still fails on compile. I found a quick way to test it is to do this in /opt/scratchbox:

Code:

./compilers/cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc packages/hello.c -o /tmp/helloArm



./compilers/cs2007q3-glibc2.5-i486/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc packages/hello.c -o /tmp/helloX86

It seems like a bug in the gentoo install, i've filed a bug 296294 at bugs.gentoo.org.

2009-12-09 11:46

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

I've found the issue - it would appear to be stripping the binaries/libraries during install, which presumably doesn't work properly for ARM files.

Adding:

Code:

RESTRICT="strip binchecks"

to the scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5-1.0.12.ebuild file fixes the issue.

2009-12-09 18:01

Re: Gentoo x86_64 SDK

Cool, hopefully that fixes it then. Will try it out when I get a chance. Is this install process documented in a wiki page anywhere?

Ok, I modified the ebuild, did emerge, quick check works. Installed fremantle from nokia, now can compile and run under both targets!

Do I have to worry about these two errors above?

Another thing I am concerned about:

root@repulsion $ sysctl vm.vdso_enabled

error: "vm.vdso_enabled" is an unknown key

16:33:21 [~]

root@repulsion $ sysctl kernel.vdso

error: "kernel.vdso" is an unknown key

How to resolve this (The last two actually).

Yes - both are caused by failing to install dpkg.

This is normal - different kernel versions use different keys to control this setting. Any missing keys can be ignored.

So I guess I am supposed to install "app-arch/dpkg".

Is ist sufficient to install it now or do I have to reinstall the Maemo-sdk?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Kind regards

I don't think you actually need to install it at all. It's only used in the SDK install if you're installing to the default directory (without specifying the -s option), otherwise it downloads tar archives instead. Everything else is done inside the scratchbox, which has its own copy of dpkg.

I'll try it. Lets see if I can come up with my first package this weekend :-)

-writing an ebuild is so much easier-

Thanks for the help

I've tried to install sdk and it looks like that latest sdk requires
scratchbox-devkit-autotools-legacy, scratchbox-devkit-python-legacy, and newer scratchbox(>=1.0.26).
Simple ebuilds for legacy autotools and python are into attachement.
