Final build errors. (modified 0 times) bwally Profile When trying to compile an image, near the end (i think) i get an error saying: /root/image/cache/scripts/mlz /root/image/apps/cramfs-0.2_ML1.0.0-beta3-4.mlz /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [/root/image/apps/cramfs-0.2_ML1.0.0-beta3-4.done] Error 1 Anybody have an idea how to fix this? thanks steve 07-09-2002 20:42:39

RE:Final build errors. (modified 0 times) bwally Profile chaeze, that may be. i'm starting with a very minimal build. just trying to achieve a bootable image. and then i will build on that. i have Ricko's suggested beta3 from the Japanese ftp site and it has gone much much further than the Midori site download. (thanks for steering me there Ricko) and listen, chaeze, i want to say a special thanks to you. your images are an inspiratation to all of us! and your hand-holding as been extremely helpful and appreciated! thanks to everyone else to. this is a very useful and friendly forum! my intention is to use these GCT's as the touchscreen interface to my home automation project (similar in design to MisterHouse). the GCT's will get mounted in the wall. i have upgraded the CF to 128MB and the ram too. what i require for that is a heavily loaded web-browser image (streaming audio, java support, etc.), an SMB client and MP3 player. and one of my customers saw me working on one and wants to get one now to operate (through the touchscreen) his model railroad setup. not my thing ... but sounds cool enough. ~bwally 07-10-2002 05:53:56

RE:Final build errors. (modified 0 times) chaezewhiz Profile | Email What distro is your development box using? I've had to stay at rh6.2 in order for it to compile correctly. I'm using vmware to avoid having to dualboot my devel box. Now you've peaked my interest. Are you going to replace MH with something custom? My target is to basically control everything through a browser. Control my X10/Ocelot/HVAC/HT through it. -chaeze Miracle in a Can 07-10-2002 19:40:40

RE:Final build errors. (modified 0 times) Sbmocp Profile Ah, some people after my own heart (and projects)... I'm wanting to use my GTPs for home control also. However, I'm a little shaky yet on exactly what I want them to do. I know for certain that I want to develop a touch-screen IR remote using one of these. My thoughts were to have a custom screen with clickable gadjets that I can define that will execute a Perl script (similar to what's being done with "xr3" at this address: http://www.orbit2orbit.com/gmd/RedRat/index.html The problem is that I don't want to define separate windows that look like remote controls, with each button being an icon. I want to design something custom in Photoshop that looks totally unlike a remote control (perhaps a photo or CAD layout of my home's floor plan) with clickable buttons. Perhaps my thinking is off; perhaps those buttons really could be icons, and the remote "screen" for a particular device can indeed be some custom design, but I'm a bit unclear on how to implement it. As for using the GTP to control my home--I don't think it would have enough "guts" to do it (or enough I/O). I'm currently using an HCS II to do that. Unfortunately, no Web interface yet--just I/O through an RS-422 line that looks like a particular device for that system. I'm thinking that my GTP can do the I/R and X10 through a RedRat IR blaster, and the X10 will be done with an IR to X10 converter box. X10 "commands" can also be defined for the HCS II, as it listens for those (ie. send code c8, and the "home theater lighting" scenario is executed). Does anyone have any ideas of their own on this? 07-11-2002 04:16:19

RE:Final build errors. (modified 0 times) bwally Profile My distro is Debian (woody) actually generated an image this AM. it booted and ran the mobo test! awesome! image was 3MB !! yes, as nice as MH appears, it has to go. The built in webserver is killing it i think. it is brutally slow! and tied too tightly to X10. i'm moving more towards a model like http://paus.sourceforge.net but first is to get my GCT running with a browser that can support all the latest web candy. then build the dedicated server web app. similar to the model that Premise Systems (SYS) works on. which is a great product except it is really all a giant Microsoft collaboration. Microsofts new dream is a MS Server and 2 MS Tablet PC's in every home running all the stuff they develop with GE-Smart (which they own along with GE and Smart LLC). see: http://www.upnp.org/download/UPnPDA10_20000613.htm and visit http://www.ge-smart.com/index.asp and http://www.premisesystems.com/ ~steve 07-11-2002 10:39:30

RE:Final build errors. (modified 0 times) chaezewhiz Profile | Email Good for you!! Midori Linux can definitely be a lean OS. Its mainly due to cramfs. MH is an ugly child. HomeDaemon has potential with its shmem approach, but it is very limited and Karl's development is slow. I ended up using my own php interface into the ocelot using Mark Day's xalib. I actually looked at paus earlier this year. Have you tried the midori+mozilla image I made? Its kinda sludgey. I'm thinking at might be because of the memory footprint it takes when it starts. I've seen the SYS ad's in the HA magazines and the HA Expo, but the price is definitely prohibitive. Are you thinking of starting a project? There really needs to be a MH killer, at least one with a better moduler interface. Email me: lee AT badencorp DOT com -chaeze Miracle in a Can 07-11-2002 18:29:35
