[beagleboard] Angstrom install new package

Dear CJ,

Love Angstrom!!
For the first time I have had to install a program that cannot be
installed via opkg.

Could someone point me toward the how to install a new program onto
Angstrom for dummies page please?

depending on how big the new program is you can either compile it
directly on the BB by installing `task-native-sdk` or you can cross
compile it. One way to set up this toolchain is described in [2].

I'm have searched Google .. but to no avail.

Most information is already present on the project website (or
(unrelated) in the documentation/manual pages). I do not know where it
comes from that one tries to automatically to search the WWW instead of
looking directly at the documentation.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi people,

I have the same error (configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create
executables) and I have task-native-sdk already installed.
I also can edit, compile and run a "Hello world" C++ application.

Do you have any idea about that?

Tanks in advance,

Vanesa.

I have the same error

That is not the same error, since you are able to compile programs.
Please adhere to the thread topics and contents to make life for
everyone easy.

(configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create
executables) and I have task-native-sdk already installed.
I also can edit, compile and run a "Hello world" C++ application.

Do you have any idea about that?

Please be more specific. When you are able to compile and run the hello
world program natively you are good to go.

Judging from the »configure« in your “error message” I am guessing you
are trying to compile a specific program which one is it?

Does it work on your normal desktop system?

Please be more specific next time and give as much information nicely
understandable so that no one has to waste his/her time to ask you all
these questions.

Thanks,

Paul

hello world c or hello world c++? they're not the same thing at all.

but the easiest thing is to check configure.log and see exactly what
it failed on.

Sorry, I'll be more specific the next time. Yo are very kind to try to
help me. I think I made a mistake with another forum thread in which
someone have tried to compile a "Hello world" app, so I didn't explain
the problem very well. The "hello world" program was in C++.

The problem is solved. I mistake a 0 (capital o) for a 0 (zero) in the
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables so the g++ didn't understand
the options.
The application I was trying to run is XBMC. It is still not working
yet :frowning: but at least I was able to compile it.

Thanks and regards.
