Wow Jeff, I didn't expect so much help! :) I do have the toolchain in my PATH... I have a unbuntu 6.06 vmware instance that I use to do development for the gumstix. My uClibc is 0.9.28 I grabbed the .tgz from your website... put it in my packages directory. I tried make from there... no go... I cd'd up to my gumstix-buildroot dir and tried make fping, but it gave an error about not knowing how to make some long path/fping for fping... Soooo... I did an svn update and ended up with the fping craig integrated... then I did an fping and it did a bunch of stuff and I ended up with a binary! ding!! I moved it to my netstix and now it seems to work... at least for the local machine I tried it came back as alive! :) I also tried remote machines and they worked too! and machines that didn't exist it correctly marked as unreachable! sooo yay! Now the question that plagues me is what I did wrong!? because I assume that whenever I run into a problem you're probably not always going to bail me out! ;) I guess I will look in detail at the config.in and fping.mk to see what you did... that might help next time I run into something like this... I spent a long while saturday last weekend building rrdtool for the gumstix... and while I ended up with a ton of notes and binaries deployed on my netstix... it wasn't the cleanest of processes... :) Regardless... thanks so much for the help... now I have all the binaries together... I just need to gen up my script and get this little computer chugging! thanks again, Morgan Jones Jeff Stoner <lea...@fr...> wrote: On Mon, 9 Oct 2006, Morgan Jones wrote: > I built fping basically the way the gumstix wiki describes building 3rd party packages... If your cross-compilation toolchain is in your PATH, then this approach is fine. However, I like to keep my environments separate (desktop, gumstix, sdcc, etc.) so, for the gumstix code, I "integrate" with Buildroot because it takes care of all the compiler and linker switches. I created appropriate Config.in and fping.mk files to make building fping easier. You can grab a copy from my website (http://jeffstoner.com) under the Gumstix category. Try that and see if you get a usable binary. Untar the file in your "packages" directory, then you can just do a "make fping" and it'll download, configure and build it for you. Copy the binary from build_arm_nofpu/root/sbin to your stix and test it. > color me confused! > > I haven't updated my build-root environment since I created it last thursday/friday. > does that help any?? > I guess I'm somewhat reassured that some one was able to build it. I'm running on version 1093, which is fairly "close" to what you're running. > BTW, the netstix is vanilla other than mounting the CF card... the kernel is factory. Which means your stix is probably running an older kernel. More importantly, what version of uClibc is on your stix? (ls -l /lib/ld-uClibc*) If it's not 0.9.28 then you may run into problems because 0.9.28 is not backward compatible with 0.9.27 (I can't remember where I saw this statement, if I'm wrong, someone correct me.) --Jeff "I am not available for comment" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
