[If you have had trouble compiling qtgiac, this might help.]

This qtgiac build currently works with the following version of libLQ/mc2 (and also with later builds of the mc2 v. 2x). If you need this to work for sure AND you want to mess with the makefiles, get this version of the libLQ/mc2 as well to make the job a little easier.

The VirtualBox project provides full x86 virtualization, and was developed by innotek and Sun (now Oracle). The licence is GPL, although there are some optional proprietary extensions, which include USB drivers and RDP support.

Openembedded is a handy way to crosscompile software for embedded devices. After spending most of the day struggling to get the initial build process to complete on Slackware I figured I'd make a post here in the hopes of saving someone some time in the future.

Required Software:
OE lists the required software at http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Required_software

Code:

server au.pool.ntp.org

The ntp daemon will then maintain the local system clock on an ongoing basis.

csvfs-1.2.1: new stable version released

Posted 06-01-2012 at 04:20 PM by hydraMax (Bits and Pixels)
