couple questions
« on: March 22, 2021, 10:56:02 AM »
I have quite successfully installed and set up picor with the TC desktop.
Then installed and configured jwm to my liking.
Also I got the Wi-Fi and firmware for the Raspberry Pi all working.
I've also got Firefox gparted Gimp and other software working.

My question is I don't see any kind of video player like Mplayer, or any kind of office suite.
Do these things exist to create a more complete desktop?
I did install the compileTC package so I could build from scratch if I had to.
I was just curious if there is a proper way to do this for the app program.

Thanks in advance

Hi, welcome to the forum.

It would be great if you could specify which version of piCore you're using.
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ version
12.0
tc@box:~$ uname -r
5.4.51-piCore-v8
tc@box:~$ source /etc/init.d/tc-functions
tc@box:~$ getBuild
aarch64

Since you mentioned gparted, I guess you're using armv7.

If you can't find the software you want, you can always compile yourself.
Read this before you do: wiki:creating_extensions

The flags you should be using are:
Code: [Select]
CFLAGS='-march=armv6zk -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -Os -pipe'
CXXFLAGS='-march=armv6zk -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -Os -pipe'
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-O1'

In case you switch to aarch64 in the future:
Code: [Select]
CFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a72 -Os -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a72 -Os -pipe"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

You can find some examples in http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv7/tcz/src/

Please provide details. Can you share the command you executed and the error message?
