I build a program, not a shared lib 2012-01-03 18:43 yes it does matter 2012-01-03 18:43 mipsel-unknown-linux-gcc -O2 -Wall -DLUA_USE_LINUX -c -o lapi.o lapi.c 2012-01-03 18:43 it matters? why? 2012-01-03 18:44 I suspect maybe I stripped the .a 2012-01-03 18:44 build system 'strip' usually breaks host system archives 2012-01-03 18:45 shared objects should always be compiled with -fPIC 2012-01-03 18:45 I'm not making any shared object 2012-01-03 18:45 :) 2012-01-03 18:45 well, all the objects inside the .a are shared objects 2012-01-03 18:45 no 2012-01-03 18:45 they are normal objects 2012-01-03 18:45 '.o' vs '.so' 2012-01-03 18:45 :) 2012-01-03 18:46 right, I stripped the .a. Solved. 2012-01-03 18:46 I know .so 2012-01-03 18:47 but the objects inside a .a should be relocatable 2012-01-03 18:47 hence the -fPIC 2012-01-03 18:47 No 2012-01-03 18:47 well 2012-01-03 18:47 they are relocatable 2012-01-03 18:47 so that you can compile different binaries with one .a 2012-01-03 18:47 but PIC means "relocatable at runtime" 2012-01-03 18:47 every .o is relocatable 2012-01-03 18:47 always 2012-01-03 18:48 but not at runtime 2012-01-03 18:48 hmm. 2012-01-03 18:48 right 2012-01-03 18:51 Ayla [Ayla!~paul@9.240.112.78.rev.sfr.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 18:52 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:02 rozzin [rozzin!~rozzin@209-20-69-211.slicehost.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:04 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:08 Ayla [Ayla!~paul@28.95.13.93.rev.sfr.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:09 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:25 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:35 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:42 jekhor [jekhor!~jek@vulture2-nat-43.telecom.by] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:44 paroneayea [paroneayea!~user@fsf/member/paroneayea] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:47 it's incredible how 'strip' destroys host-system objects 2012-01-03 19:47 they look normal, but host-ld does not want them anymore. 2012-01-03 19:50 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 19:52 could that be one of the reasons why "strip" has options ? :) 2012-01-03 19:54 the host-strip works fine. 2012-01-03 19:54 the build-strip destroys it :) 2012-01-03 19:54 division of labour :) 2012-01-03 19:54 hehe 2012-01-03 20:00 wejp [wejp!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 20:00 Ayla [Ayla!~paul@9.240.112.78.rev.sfr.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 20:51 sorry, but.. what do you use for cad then? :) 2012-01-03 20:51 fped? 2012-01-03 20:52 you wrote fped? :) 2012-01-03 20:53 i use fped wherever i can, yes 2012-01-03 20:53 and yes, i wrote it :) 2012-01-03 20:54 aah.. 2012-01-03 20:54 e.g., this is for the labsw front plate: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/wernermisc/source/tree/master/labsw/mech/front.fpd 2012-01-03 20:54 is it some kind of 'povray' for 2d? 2012-01-03 20:55 it reminds me of metapost a bit. 2012-01-03 20:55 this is M1 left and right wall, with new/changed holes: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/wernermisc/source/tree/master/m1/case/case.fpd 2012-01-03 20:56 you can use the scripting language or you can use the GUI 2012-01-03 20:56 ok 2012-01-03 20:56 http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/fped/gui.html 2012-01-03 20:58 where to get fped? 2012-01-03 20:58 see http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/fped/README 2012-01-03 20:59 oh wait 2012-01-03 20:59 that's obsolete :) 2012-01-03 20:59 this is better: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/fped/source/tree/master/README 2012-01-03 21:01 hmmm 2012-01-03 21:01 README updated :) 2012-01-03 21:01 it looks like a big effort :) 2012-01-03 21:02 in what sense ? 2012-01-03 21:02 it's not a trivial program 2012-01-03 21:03 it took more than a weekend, yes ;) 2012-01-03 21:04 ok, I keep note ;) I won't use it now, at least 2012-01-03 21:04 wej [wej!~j@m2.mullvad.net] has joined #qi-hardware 2012-01-03 21:05 although it would be nice to have it running... 2012-01-03 21:05 wpwrak: do you have an output example? 2012-01-03 21:06 how about some footprints ? http://people.openmoko.org/werner/gta02-core/gta02-core-modules.pdf 2012-01-03 21:08 the pdf is entirely made with fped? 2012-01-03 21:08 the front panel of labsw: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/labsw/tmp/front.pdf 2012-01-03 21:08 fped generated postscript files. i they merged them into a pdf with a script 2012-01-03 21:09 ok 2012-01-03 21:09 (labsw) i was too lazy to add measurements :) 2012-01-03 21:09 aha :) 2012-01-03 21:10 they're kinda unnecessary on that case anyway :) 2012-01-03 21:10 how do you write measurements in fped? 2012-01-03 21:11 you measure between the points, then set the offset (if any) of the measurement line 2012-01-03 21:12 the distances come from parameters. the measurements only tell you what the end result is 2012-01-03 21:13 measurements have a few quirks. e.g., you can't measure between arbitrary points. but it usually lets you measure between the points you need.
