Multitouch possible in theory?

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Hi guys.

Ok I now also set up my flagship with Ubuntu Karmic.

I'm restoring all my data right now. See you in ~3hrs :)

Greetings,

Update:

I'm recompiling the kernel right now.

I hope it works now!

Update:

WT...

it took only 10 minutes to compile :)

Stay Tuned!

Greetings,

still rebooting .....

I'm doing something wrong...

So here's exactly what I do:

• I set up Ubuntu 9.10
  
• I installed thosse packages:
  git-core
  gnupg
  flex
  bison
  gperf
  libsdl-dev
  libesd0-dev
  libwxgtk2.6-dev
  build-essential
  zip
  curl
  libncurses5-dev
  zlib1g-dev
  sun-java5-jre
  sun-java5-jdk
  sun-java5-demo
  sun-java5-bin
  
• I downloaded the Huawei kernel source
  
• I downloaded the android 1.6 source
  
• I downloaded the Pulse .config as described in the 1.6 ROM development thread
  
• I run

  make clean

• I run

  ~/pulse_kernel_source/make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path_to_android_1.6_4.4.0_toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-

• When that finishes I run

  mkbootimg --cmdline "mem=128M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 no_console_suspend=0" --kernel ./zImage --ramdisk ./ramdisk.img -o boot.img

• Flash the image using

  fastboot-linux flash boot ./boot.img
  
  fastboot-linux boot ./boot.img[/code]

Well this is just weird...

Can you try running without make clean?

I don't remember using this step when I was compiling stuff a few months ago (but I might be wrong). Seeing as it only takes 10 minutes to compile, I reckon it's worth a check.

Yap I only run make clean if I compiled the kernel already to delete the .o files and so on.

Maybe it just took 10 minutes because its running on a 4 x 3.0GHz machine with 3GB RAM...

Which source are you compiling? The pulse source?

Could it be that the problem is that Ubuntu installs packages from the German repo instead of the English one?

It shouldn't make a difference - the repos should be identical.

Just checking - when you install java5 you also removed java6, didn't you?

Uhm, no :)

I'll remove it.

Weird ... it has already been removed - I guess when I installed java 5?

Setting up the built environment should be very simple - hell, what am I doing wrong ??

Can you post the output of

sudo update-java-alternatives -l

See here for details: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

[Guest xangma]

I honestly don't know. It all compiles properly yeah?

java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun

I don't get any errors, no.

[Guest jmmL]

Well java is in order at least.

The gcc 4.4 / 4.3 thing is more stuff to fuss over, but if it compiles without issue, then this won't be the problem.

I'll install gcc-4.3 and set it as default, but I don't really think that this will change anything, as I did this before on my other PC.

You could try comparing md5 sums of the zImages and ramdisks of both yours and xangmas versions. This might at least tell us if (for example) both your ramdisks are okay, but the kernel is compiling differently for some reason.

I know that my ramdisk is ok, as I can use it with the MCR without problems.

I first thought that I was maybe using an incorrect command with mkbootimg, and I that's why I tried to just unpack and repack the boot.img - everything worked fine :)

BTW I now installed gcc-4.3 and tried to configure it with

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

And I get this output:

update-alternatives: error: Keine Alternativen für gcc.

"No alternatives for gcc."

why did I quote myself?

I can remember a bit of my GCSE german :)

Look in synaptic to see if you have gcc4.4 installed, I guess perhaps it was never installed in the first place..?

Nope, gcc-4.4 is installed as its meant to be.

[Guest mapero]

Maybe the problem is while repacking the kernel and ramdisk into the boot.img?

Unfortunately not.

I already tried to repack the MCR boot.img, and it worked fine.

Strange. Don't know why that's happening then.

Can you upload your ramdisk and zImage, so we can test whether mapero's right?

Edit: just seen your post - nevermind.

What I could try is uploading my source and my zImage, somebody of you guys compile it and then we compare the checksums of those two zImages.

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Okay, I uploaded my source with zImage and the .config.
