OpenSuSE 10.3 notes

Hello,

Some general stuff I think needs to be updated in the wiki. Python-numpy
is used for current versions instead of python-numeric. Also guile is
needed to compile mblock and pmt. usrp needs mblock. I will do some
research and update the wiki.

Building Under Opensuse 10.3
Cppunit-devel is named libcppunit-devel in opensuse 10.3. SDCC packages
can be found on the opensuse build service under Home:/illuusio/ so it
is easier for suse users.

PS3 Development
Fedora seems to be the hot distribution for PS3 Linux and likely has the
cutting edge development. I noticed that opensuse has the gnu cell
tools and the cell cross-compile tools. It is also possible to install
Suse on the PS3. I do not have a PS3 so I can not compare it.

Great, thanks!

Cool. Can you point me at a repo or web site?

Thanks,

Hello,

The main site for opensuse. You can bittorrent the isos.

The site has a PS3 install page at
http://en.opensuse.org/PS3

The iso images tend not to have all the available packages so you need
to use the repo. I modified a WD MyBook World Edition to be my personal
repo and update mirror since I have several computers running opensuse.
The Linux in the WD box included ssh and rsync so I rsync updates to the
WD.

My favorite mirror site (has rsync as well).
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.3

The opensuse website lists other mirrors.

The cross compile packages I see for Cell SPU processors
cross-spu-binutils Version 2.17.50.20070726
cross-spu-gcc 4.3.0
cross-spu-gcc-static 4.3.0
cross-spu-newlib 1.15.0

There maybe updated versions or other ps3 packages through the opensuse
build service.
