« on: February 28, 2020, 11:32:25 PM »
Updated  lshw.tcz  and a GUI front end  gtk-lshw.tcz  have been submitted in 32 and 64 bit versions for TC10. The 64 bit version
has also been verified to work on TC11.

The TC10 and TC11 repositories now have X86 and X86_64 versions of  lswh.tcz  and  gtk-lshw.tcz  available. For those of you
who prefer a GUI, this is what the  gtk-lshw  version looks like:

Clicking the  Refresh  button will scan your system.
Double clicking on entries with a  bold font  will will cause them to expand showing more detail.
The yellow icon at the right end of the  wbar  starts  gtk-lshw.

For those who prefer the command line,  lshw  should be run as root (sudo). It also supports the  --help  parameter. The  man
pages are also included.

PiCore

Google suggests this should work on Raspberry Pi. If someone wants to build this for Pi, there is a build script that automates
the entire process. You will need to do so under TC9 since TC10 and TC11 lack the tools and support files. Execute the following:

Code: [Select]
mkdir lshw
cd lshw
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/src/lshw/build_lshw.sh
chmod 775 build_lshw.sh
./build_lshw.sh

If all went well, the  package  directory should look similar to this:
Code: [Select]
tc@E310:~/BuildTCZs/lshw$ ls -l package/

tc@E310:~/BuildTCZs/lshw$

Notes:
1. Check the  submitqc.txt  file for errors or warnings.
2. The  lshw.tar.gz  is the  lshw  package containing all of the  lshw  extension files.
3. The  gtk-lshw.tar.gz  is the  gtk-lshw  package containing all of the  gtk-lshw  extension files.
4. The  lshw-armv6.tar.gz.bfe  file contains  lshw.tar.gz, gtk-lshw.tar.gz, and build_lshw.sh.
5. The  lshw  and  gtk-lshw  directories are what was placed into  lshw.tcz  and  gtk-lshw.tcz  respectively.

Copy  lshw.tcz, gtk-lshw.tcz, and gtk-lshw.tcz.dep  to your  tce  directory. Then:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i gtk-lshw.tczYou should see a round yellow icon appear on the  wbar.  Click on it and and the  gtk-lshw  window should appear.

While the  gtk-lshw.tcz  package won't run under PiCore 10 or 11, I believe the  lshw.tcz  package will since it appears to only
use base libraries:
Code: [Select]
tc@E310:~/BuildTCZs/lshw$ ldd `which lshw`

        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7f33000)

    [EDIT]: Added  chmod  command to the PiCore build instructions.  Rich
