ddrlan-linux

Making a small Linux distribution based on ucLibc, to run ddrgen and a BitTorrent tracker. Having a bit of an interesting time cross compiling the system (as it’s on my desktop, which is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, versus the target which is i386-pc-linux-gnu. There was a good cross compilation mini-howto I found, and I ended up making a ‘smake’ shell script for the system:

#!/bin/sh
make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i386-linux-uclibc- $*

I also had to make links in /usr/bin from i386-linux-uclibc-ld to ld, i386-linux-uclibc-ar to ar and i386-linux-uclibc-nm to nm to make the kernel happy. Then a simple smake menuconfig started off the configuration in the correct i386 mode. There were probably other links I added, but I forgot what they were.

At present, I have a read-only system booting, with a ASCII art bootsplash. I have udhcpd, nmap, ddrgen, minimal samba client, and djbdns installed, and mostly setup. All in 128MB. And there’s a complier and sshd. One minor catch is that the compiler needs includes that I’ve removed.

I’ve built a nice Makefile for ddrgen, and I’m also testing djbdns support. I’m now upto a point where I’m writing another program, azfinder, which will eventually look in a SMB share for some settings then go and connect to the Azureus inbuilt tracker and leech it’s torrents.

Attack of teh PandaCrew

Hey.. This aint Mickey obviously. It’s one of teh panda wardriving crew. And because I aint used dvorak in so long, I just got shitty and changed his dvorak thingy to qwerty. Lucky I can touch type because all Mickey’s keys are retarded as he decided to mangle his keyboard, so some of his letters are like, sideways, upside down, inside out, etc.

James has hair on his feet.

We decided to have an in-night tonight instead of going out wardriving or adventuring or whatever. So, me (Laska), James and Mickey sat around watching various stuff. We were gonna go to the fire station and watch, but eh.. too much effort

Anyway.. gtg.. ciao!
