build boost for wt

the only needed libraries for wt are:

  • libboost_thread
  • libboost_program_options
  • libboost_signals
  • libboost_date_time
  • libboost_filesystem-gcc42
  • libboost_regex
  • libboost_system

Therefore one should run the configure script for boost as

../boost/configure –without-icu \

–with-libraries=thread,program_options,signals,date_time,filesystem,regex,system \

–prefix=`pwd`/deploy

distributed build with gnu make, the minusj

I was just nanometers close to design a nice distributed build system, however the gnu make when called with -j does not tell to the target builder process any information (through environment variable) about the number of the instance started in parallel…

There is however a more complicated way, if you would like to better use the resources of a build team (suppose for eg. everybody has quadcores), where instead of calling the, let’s say gcc compiler, you call a wrapper, that would be a client application to a builddistributor server. The server would know which resources are not loaded in the network and distribute a compilation there…

 

 

linux on eten glofiish m800

so far no concrete success…

  1. unfortunatelly the kernel from http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/EtenG500Home does not boot using haret, at least no output on the screen. I think the Eten G500 has a S3C2440 processor vs. SC32442 on m800
  2. tried to compile using patches from http://www.adilson.com.br/?p=157&langswitch_lang=pt but no success
  3. also tried http://linux.cybernet.net.ru/index.php/Linux/%D0%AF%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BESC32442 that is a kernel for X500 (probably same arch as m800) … but again no success

any tips?
