How to build SkyEye staticly

I resolved the problem occurred yesterday. Which can’t be builded successfully in skyeye-v1.2 Rel. The problem is the WinRAR did a bad job and decompressed the compressed files in a wrong state. I got a new copy from the Sourcefore this morning, builded it all right.

There is also a problem today, that is how to build SkyEye staticly? Acorrding to the README.txt, just need to run make STATIC=1. But I met a link error as follows:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [binary/skyeye] Error 1

That error means there isn’t gtk-x11-2.0.a in the /lib, I searched it, of course it isn’t existed. How can I get it? How many libs would I need?

After readed the README again, I found that:

4 required packages:

gtk+-2.0-dev pkg-config atk-dev pango-dev freetype2-dev glib-dev x11-dev binutils-dev(bfd)

That means I need to find the source of gtk, atk and so on. And Build them in a static way to get .a file. Then I can use make STATIC=1 command to make a staticly SkyEye.

Although I found the way to make it staticly, I would not to try it at once, after all, it may take much time. I think I’ll do it when I need them. haha

Overview of Skyeye

SkyEye is an Open Source Simulator, which simulates series ARM architecture based microprocessors and Blackfin DSP Processor. Users can run Operating Systems such as Linux, uCLinux, uC/OS-II for ARM and can analyze or debug in source level.

By reason of the need of client, we’ll integrate a ARM Instruction Simulator to the LambdaPRO. May be it will be a open source one, or a commerce one. Of course, the best choice is to select a open source simulator.

I studied Skyeye several Months ago, for I am a poor boy. There isn’t enough money to buy a experimental board for myself. Now it works, haha.

After downloaded the latest version of skyeye(skyeye-v1.2_Rel), I tried to run make. Oh god, it made error as follows:

make: *** No rule to make target `binary/dev_lcd_ep7312.o', needed by `binary/libdev.a'. Stop

I tried another make as “make NO_LCD=1”, that works, a binary file skyeye.exe was made by the linker. Then I understood that there may be something wrong with the latest version of skyeye. BUG, BUG, waha , I committed it to the sourceforge.net, and the continued my work.

After an hour’s work, I had run our own os on skyeye successfully, that’s a simple application with three tasks print some messages to the serial port.

En, a wonderful work today.

My English Blog Started!

Hello, I'm Leon. This is my first English blog ! I'll write the technical articles all in English, focus in the software deveopment of embeded system.
This blog can be a very good supplement after work, so I will go on to write it everyday.
Of course, your suggestion expected :)
