[Mvpmc-devel] Experiences with building

[Ryan R. <rya...@gm...>]

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 ...

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

-        dir = '%s/%s/%s' % (path,buildtarget,i.name[:j])

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
