[gccsdk] Raspberry Pi 3 builds of apps/libraries for the Autobuilder package site

 

I've just rebuilt and uploaded wget and the ssl libraries to the autobuilder

package site using the RPi3 compatible version of the GCCSDK.

They should appear in the index and on the website tomorrow.

 

I've a virtual machine set up so I can rebuild and then upload anything

else required. However there are a lot of packages, so it would make

sense (to me anyway) if we could have a list of the things people would

like built sooner rather than later. When I say a list, just using this

thread would be enough for me.

 

I will use the Jenkins builder to test if an app/library is likely to build

and if it is, then do a build on my machine as that will force new

builds of any dependent libraries. I will update package numbers if

necessary.

 

If you suggest something that needs building, it would be ideal if

you could test it once the new version get's uploaded as I will

have little time to do any testing myself and don't have a RPi 3.

 

If a package doesn't build, I'll have a look if there is a quick fix,

otherwise I'll move on so that we can get more stuff up to date.

 

From attempts over the last couple of years, I know that there is quite

a lot of things that no longer build, but this will at least give us a

starting point.

 

Please don't just point me to the other threads/forums where some

programs have been mentioned as the idea is to get the list here

where I could work from it.

 

I'm trying to make this quick and easy, but if someone else wants

to manage this in a better way, please go ahead. I'll still be happy

to run whatever builds are requested.

 

Regards,

Alan
