09:46:39	speachy	olk: I don't know what's triggering that error; it's acting like the cross toolchain is trying to use the system libgcc.
09:50:12	speachy	and it also looks like it tried to recompile part of alsa during the 'make install' phase, which shouldn't have happened either.

11:11:57	olk	hey speachy, sorry for not answering, I was busy. how should I fix this, do you have any ideas?
11:17:41	speachy	not sure, truthfully. I've never seen that failure mode before.
11:18:00	speachy	beyond blow it away and try again?
11:18:54	olk	I know some errors disappear on second try, but I don't think this is the case with that one :)
11:21:02	speachy	that error kinda makes me think something happened to the filesystem between the 'make' and 'make install' steps.
11:21:33	speachy	granted there may be some distro wonkiness here. I successfully rebuilt everything on Fedora 38.
11:22:37	olk	ok, let me try from scratch
11:25:54	olk	for NEC MP201 I should choose arm-linux target, right?
11:26:18	olk	can't check if I actually have NEC MP201, but wiki says I do
11:26:37	speachy	yes; I think it's an ARM11 core.
11:26:50	speachy	(arm1176ejs)
11:27:02	olk	thanks
11:42:41	olk	same error, let me send the log file and stdout
11:43:56	olk	stdout: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/55573a139e09; /tmp/rbdev-build/build-alsa-lib-1.0.19.log: http://0x0.st/Hqfq.txt
11:44:06	olk	speachy ^
11:45:21	speachy	ya know you can probably just ignore this
11:46:12	olk	will ignoring this have consequences?
11:46:13	speachy	might be a libtool issue
11:47:14	speachy	I doubt it; the interesting stuff (header and libasound) has already been make-installed.
11:47:59	olk	what do I do now then?
11:48:05	speachy	if we were trying to _run_ a system with this alsa-lib installation it might be problematic but we're just using this as a placeholder to link against; the stuff we use at runtime is alread present on the target.
11:48:29	speachy	you need the toolchain on your PATH, then you can do the regular rockbox build process.
11:51:31	olk	so add /usr/local/arm-rockbox-linux-gnueabi/bin to PATH?
11:52:06	speachy	yep
11:52:51	speachy	hmm, one difference is that I never do my toolchains as root.
11:53:14	olk	yeah, I have no write perms for /usr/local
11:53:36	speachy	I put mine in ~/x-tools/rockbox
11:54:02	olk	one question: if I run which readelf, it returns /usr/bin/readelf and not /usr/local/arm-rockbox-linux-gnueabi/bin/readelf
11:54:32	speachy	I think the system readelf should always be ok for what we care about
11:54:37	speachy	anything not prefixed is generic.
11:54:50	olk	uh-huh, got it
11:54:56	speachy	(and the system stuff is all but guaranteed to be more up-to-daye)
11:55:09	olk	what now, tools/configure?
11:56:10	speachy	mkdir build-targetname ; cd build-targetname ; ../tools/configure ; make
11:56:49	olk	huh. so I have to pick NWZ-A860 series in configure?
12:00
12:02:32	olk	there's no nwz-s760 target, how do I create it?

13:38:33	_amachronic	speachy: yep, I'm trying to spend some time on rockbox again and fix the terrible state I left playlists in :)
13:39:37	speachy	_amachronic: When I got GPT support going I decided to take it for a drive and ended up being loudly told "error accessing playlist file" over and over again, semi-randomly. :(
13:40:31	_amachronic	oh, I think that's an old problem from trying to resume the playlist after USB unplug.
13:40:40	_amachronic	even if said playlist never existed to begin with
13:41:10	speachy	what's funny is that it didn't always happen; but when it did, it never stopped.
13:41:31	speachy	and wasn't even consistent across consecutive back-to-back restarts
13:42:22	_amachronic	that's weird, I get it all the time.
13:42:53	speachy	play a file in a directory, it's fine. until you skip a track and then it goes haywire
13:42:57	speachy	sometimes
13:43:12	speachy	clearly I hadn't updated to a newer build in some time. :D
13:45:40	speachy	I'm wondering it it doesn't make more sense to rework how historical builds are retained so it's like 14 daily and then one per month going back a year.
13:46:10	_amachronic	lol just now I was thinking the same thing!
13:46:47	speachy	since right now we don't have an answer for someone who wants to use an ipod+ssd and have working playlists... :/
13:49:26	speachy	it's been a long time since the dev builds were this janky
13:49:32	_amachronic	sorry :(
13:50:37		Join JanC [0] (~janc@user/janc)
13:50:38	_amachronic	my wip patches fix the glaring playlist issues but I haven't really gotten around to testing them
13:51:38	_amachronic	I mean, I haven't noticed anything wrong but my playlist usage is pretty basic.
13:52:24	speachy	eh, I'm hardly one to point fingers; it's not like my various WIPs have seen much action in a while
13:52:49	speachy	Aside from the semi-constant effort needed to keep the infra from sinking into the swamp.
13:53:35	braewoods	speachy, ye old technical debt?
13:54:43	speachy	well, that, hosting joys, keeping the stack secure, trying to ensure our toolchains remain buildable on modern systems...
13:55:43	speachy	actually banged out new functionality for the first time in a while, that felt really nice.

20:14:37	speachy	olk: Given that you're starting from naerly zero knowledge, I'd say pick one close-ish in specs to teh one you care about, and build that.
20:15:29	speachy	to add a new target, you'll have to edit a bunch of files; I'm pretty sure theres's a guide on the wiki but it ought to suffice to cut-n-paste an existing NWZ target as a starting point.
20:15:51	speachy	I'd also look at nwztool to see if your device is supported already by it.
