C++ compiler on Vu+

[rodolphedj]

Hi,

I need to compile some applications on my vu+ solo2.
Could you please explain me or give me a link how to setup gcc ?

it seems i need cross-compile.
If right, let me know If I can use a virtual image on my laptop. which linux ?

thanks

Hi,
you can create a cross development kit (CDK) with:

git clone git://code.vuplus.com/git/openvuplus.git
cd openvuplus
make image MACHINE=vusolo2

With this you create a complete build environment and an image for the solo2. First run takes from several hours up to a few days depending on the used PC. I made it a few times with Ubuntu.

Ok this step are ok but then? Can anyone help me to compile a package tar.gz from a third-party source tarball tar.gz!??

bitbake source.env
bitbake devshell
Then I became a failure: "Unknown devshell nothing to do."

oe_autoconf
oe_automake??

Can anyone explain me how I compile a package after I build the enviroment and create an Image. So I think I do not need to build an image before I'd like to build an package.
I think I can start instantly but how???

Thanks

Hi, I want compile a simple program, an udp client for my Vu plus Uno. Not is possible do it in the vu uno, Is needed install on a separate linux distribution?

I've compiled some things for my box by using a Debian MIPS installation in a VirtualBox machine on my PC.

Wouldn't work for anything wanting to link in with OpenVix code, but seems fine for "simple" generic things (and I had it lying around anyway).
