[gp32linux-devel] Just a thread to see who is involved in the project

[CybEriC <cyb...@gm...>]

Hi everybody.

At the moment, we are at least 4 know developers:
Lucas
Ingeras
Toholl
and me: Cyberic

I am not skilled enough to work on the kernel (except for some minor 
patches)

But I had success porting apps to gp32linux.

Let's try to organise a bit:

As Ingeras said, we have to agree on a file standard hierarchy, and on 
development tools. For instance, we should use the same cross compiler, 
the same libc (uClibc  or GNU Libc?), and so on.

Personally, I think that uClibc is great due to its light memory 
footprint, but it sometimes makes some program unable/harder to compile...

Is there a way tu use both libs?

I should also mention the scratchbox project, which eases cross 
compilation a lot.
Unfortunately I tried id with mplayer, and it crashed randomly... Maybe 
this was because I used precompiled libraries bundled with scratchbox...

Fo the compilers, we have a working gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.3.1 (I think), 
both based on uClibc.
The latter does not support large file functions, it is very annoying 
for some software (like mplayer)

So I think we need a new one.

Tell me what you think.

Regards
Cyberic
