piCore14.0 Beta

[Paul_123]

Team Tiny Core is happy to announce the first beta release of piCore-14.0.  Both 32 and 64bit images are ready for download/testing.

rpi-kernel 6.1.25
gcc 12.2
binutils 2.39
glibc 2.37
busybox 1.36
micropython 1.19
libffi (v8 library)

piCore 14 also brings openssl to 3.1.0.  For applications in the 14.x repo not yet rebuilt, there are compatibility extensions created openssl-1.1.1 and libffi7

32bit - http://www.tinycorelinux.net/14.x/armv7/test_releases/RPi/piCore-14.0-beta1.zip  (This should run on all rpi boards)
64bit - http://www.tinycorelinux.net/14.x/aarch64/test_releases/RPi/piCore64-14.0-beta1.zip  (rpi zero2W, pi3, pi4)

PiCore64:
Tested with my current setup: jwm, pcmanfm, firefox, geany, transmission-gtk, ...
Putting the corresponding new dependencies:
-glib2 from libffi7
-transmission-gtk from openssl-1.1.1

everything seems to work correctly.

Note: the libzstd extension has some spurious files in it.

[Paul_123]

Lots to recompile for OpenSSL 3.   But thanks for the info, I’ll check it out.

Hi

aarch64

EDIT missing mouse  pointer fix post below

anyhow I am using ssh at the moment, I tried to use ssh with cpanel  (laughs at knowing little over the years)
but here is a possible issue for you Paul_123

tc@box:~$ ls -al /usr/local/tce.installed/ | grep readline
tc@box:~$
I downloaded it here on TC64 and unsquashing it...altho I can not immediately spot the issue....it has Pkgconfig dir in it.

I have a match for http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/aarch64/tcz/readline.tcz.md5.txt

2) So I then on TC64 downloaded the aarch readline-dev and its missing the pkgconfig file.

Hope you know why I am getting permission error....but inxi works   as

ok I think I have solved my invisible mouse issue.

I have startx with openbox and mouse pointer now appears, so it may be just a gremlin for my mouse in jwm?
its a gecko wired usb mouse, dmesg

[    2.519245] input:  USB OPTICAL MOUSE as /devices/platform/scb/fd500000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/0003:0000:3825.0001/input/input0

extra info.
mouse pointer was also hidden in fltk-1.3.

I then loaded openbox but not ssh session but for real on RPi and tried startx....startx claimed
/etc/sysconfig/Xserver not found.

Maybe openbox depends on X11....but anyhow I loaded Xorg and the startx works and then mouse pointer appears

aarch64

leafpad missing deps appear to be
libXrandr.tcz libXcomposite.tcz

thanks for reading

[Juanito]

libXrandr, libXcomposite, libXcursor and libXinerama added to gtk2 deps

[Paul_123]

Thanks for the reports.   The touch error with readline normally means another extension is misbehaving.  What extensions in your tce.installed dir have an actual script?  It will be likely be one of those.

EDIT

ok so I made onboot.lst only openssh and aterm (if anyone has time to reproduce my error) and I am loading using ssh TC64

did not see ncurses before

I know we can do anything in piCore different from TC64 but on TC64 submitqc I think tries to use root:staff for tce.installed dir

thanks found I needed libffi7 otherwise

Code: [Select]

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
msg appears in manually loading openbox

[Paul_123]

pciutils had the permission problem. - fixed
readline - fixed

[aus9]

Hi Paul_123
Thanks for that. in Apps search for tag=terminal AFAIK no terminals in aarch64 depend on vte*.
I plan to build lxterminal which provisionally might depend on vte-2.91
would you prefer TCE name as vte or vte-2.91
vte-2.91 aligns with TC64 TCE name if interested

[aus9]

hi mortegai
after updates -> in a terminal does pcmanfm  now seg fault?
I have built lxterminal and there is update for pcmanfm.....but I think I will wait for Paul_123 to catch up with openssl and libffi stuff before submitting stuff.

[Paul_123]

I'm fine with aligning with TC64.   And if there is anything in the dep chain that you need.  Shoot me a PM.

I don't see any update for pcmanfm.
For me, in a terminal (urxvt) pcmanfm works correctly, it only shows these warning messages:
