MeeGo on nonSSSE3 x86 Hardware

This page was inspired by a discussion on #meego (log@21:17) regarding MeeGo support of nonSSSE3 based hardware.

lbt added to the discussions with a timely blog post he had been working on http://mer-l-in.blogspot.com/2010/08/are-intel-subverting-meegocom.html.

Tasks

• Requirements
  • Proof of concept - create prjconf on maemo OBS to build gcc,binutils, rest of core and bring up on x86 hw/vbox/vmware
    • Get source

mkdir mirror
cd mirror
wget -e robots=off --accept \*.rpm --mirror --no-parent --progress=dot --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=7 -nv http://mirrors.kernel.org/meego/releases/1.0/core/repos/source/

• • • Install osc

wget Meego-devel-tools-f11.repo
sudo cp Meego-devel-tools-f11.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo yum --nogpgcheck install osc	

• • • edit /home/<user>/.oscrc to setup

apiurl = https://api.obs.maemo.org
build-root = /home/fedora/tmp/build-root

https://api.obs.maemo.org
user = vgrade
etc

Check that is working with

osc list

Setup a project

mkdir build-area
cd build-area
osc meta pkg -e home:<username> <package name>
osc co home:<username>/<package name>
cd home:<username>
cd <package name>
rpm2cpio *src.rpm|cpio -id
osc addremove
osc commit

Build Local

cd home:vgrade
cd uxlaunch

edit prjcfg on project (web tool) to remove ssse3 atom stuff

osc build MeeGo_1.0_Core - If this does not download the required packages then get them with-
wget -e robots=off --accept \*.rpm --mirror --no-parent --progress=dot --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=7 -nv http://mirrors.kernel.org/meego/releases/1.0/core/repos/ia32/packages/i586/

So I can build a package without sssse3 and atom flags but how do I know that I don't have static libs built in which have code built with those flags? I suppose the order I build things in this way is important.

• • Build daily, weekly, release builds of MeeGo core,netbook,extra packages for nonSSSE3 based hardware
  • Create repos of the built packages
  • Generate kickstart file for common x86 target(s)
  • Generate images from kickstart files
  • Create a repository in OBS for appdevs to build against
• Implementation
  • OBS
  • IMG
  • BOSS
• Testing
  • http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/NetbookTestReport/NetbookSanity20100810
