Hi David, I had this too. You need to add the following to the distro/amsdelta-oe.conf file (or whatever you're using for that): PREFERRED_PROVIDER_task-bootstrap = "task-bootstrap" Also, you may need to build your uImage seperately by doing bitbake u-boot before you do any other builds. I have so far managed to get an OE system and footfs to boot with a command line. I still cannot get Opie to work at all however since there seem to be several problems with bits of it (such as bluepin) which won't compile with the qpe-mt library due to incompatibilities with the vtable entries therein. I have read that a static build is possible but have been unable to get this to work. I have also tried excluding all these apps since they seem to be largely multimedia stuff and bluetooth which I think may be a bit advanced for the e3 at present... However, Opie won't 'assemble' without some of these and complains of unsatisfied dependencies right at the end (a bit annoying after 2 days' compilation :-( ) Does anyone have an unbroken Opie snapshot that actually compiles completely? Or have I done something stupid with my distro? Maybe GPE is better? Cheers, Brendan

Hi Brendan,
From memory (and it is several months since I did this, and I suspect things have changed), there are a number of Opie packages that won't work including the bluetooth stuff that needs removing to make a build work. I will try to get chance to update my patches to work soon. My recollection of GPE building was that it was very slow, and that there was quite a bit of fiddling needed to get around the lack of touchscreen.
I assume you've seen my Opie patches at http://hu.gs/pub/E3/OpenEmbedded-patches-interim/ these should apply cleanly to the Openembedded tree from 11th April. I hope this is some use David

Ta; I'm giving it a try. Unfortunately, I tried moving my oe directory, and it didn't like it much, so I'm now having to rebuild everything. Ho hum. I'll also look into setting up a complete ipkg feed; I may have enough disk space on my server. [...]

I did manage to get GPE running a few months back, but I did it by taking a Familiar image and mutilating it. BTW, is there any technical reason why we couldn't just piggyback on the Familiar ipkg feed rather than having to build our own? I'm not enough aware of the subtleties involved with the differences of all the various types of ARM ipkg to know where the pitfalls might be, but it does seem odd that simple user-space soft-float binaries would be incompatible... -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "Gaping from its single obling socket was | dg@cowlark.com | scintillating, many fauceted scarlet emerald..." | (dg@tao-group.com) | --- Jim Theis, _The Eye of Argon_ (spelling +- www.cowlark.com --+ original)

Apart from the kernel and some bits of the video and audio stuff, we should be compatible with the binaries used on Zaurus and iPaq. StrongARM-1100 and ARM925T are both ARMv4 processors. -J.

Still no luck, I'm afraid --- the build fails in exactly the same place as before. -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "Is Eris true?" "Everthing is true." "Even false | dg@cowlark.com | things?"
