Decided to have another look at the OpenMoko Freerunner, see if I can build the latest 2008.12 distro.

Following instructions on MokoMakefile on the OpenMoko wiki.

did the following:
~/moko2$ wget http://www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile
~/moko2$ make setup

Hmm. It's downloading stuff from trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2, I wonder if that's correct.

then did
~/moko2$ make update-makefile
~/moko2$ make setup-machine-om-gta02
~/moko2$ nice make image

Aborted with ctrl-c, fixed PARELLEL_MAKE, BB_NUMBER_THREADS to 2 in local.conf for faster build. Otherwise it didn't use my CPU fully. I think I'll have to increase it more. It's probably limited by the hard drive speed.

failed compiling gcc, with the following error in build/tmp/work/i686-linux/gcc-native-3.4.4-r7/temp/log.do_compile.20773:

In function 'open',
inlined from 'collect_execute' at /home/erl/moko2/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/gcc-native-3.4.4-r7/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/collect2.c:1537:
/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to '__open_missing_mode' declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments

Fixed this by adding S_IRWXU as third parameter to open on the offending line, and reran 'nice make image'

Another crash building qemu.

Replaced with on line 79 of /build/tmp/work/i686-linux/qemu-native-0.9.1-r7/qemu-0.9.1/linux-user/syscall.c

Ending this entry now, as I'll let the build go on and check up on it later.
