Installed, and sound works great! Thanks! :)
Now I am trying to get git to work...

Hi,
I am trying to make GIT, but it complains that it can't find openssl. But I cannot find openssl in the tce repository?
Greetings,
Gerrelt.
-
Both git and openssl are in the repo.
-
Excellent, I found it and installed it, thanx!! :)
Could you tell me which URL I need to use for getting the tinycore sources?
-
What are you looking for?
-
I am looking for the kernel header files (I think..), so I can compile the Ralink drivers.
I am getting this message when executing make on the ralink drivers:
make: *** /lib/modules/3.10.10-piCore/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2
-
I will add headers to repo this weekend
-
Ah, that would be super!! :)

Hi bmarkus
Thanks for the update (alpha2). I have been trying to get my scripts for piCorePlayer to "run" on the piCore5 image.
The good thing is that the sound is fine both the analog out as well as via a USB_DAC.
But I have two issues:
1. In version 4.7.7 I could use a command like: cat /mnt/mmcblk0p1/config.txt to show and then manipulate the config.txt file. However in piCore5 somehow the boot files can't be found, and the command does not show the content of config.txt. I can't even see the boot files in mnt/mmcblk0p1 via winscp anymore (they can bee seen via winscp in 4.7.7)
2. I can't figure out how to mount an external USB-stick in version 5. In version 4.7.7. I would use "mount /dev/sda1" but that won't work in version5.
Also fdisk -l does not show the USB-stick in version 5 anymore.

Probably it is not mounted. Try
sudo mount /mnt/mmcblk0p1

Please check with lsusb thar USB stick is seen or not. If yes, execute
sudo rebuildfstab
and check it appears in /mnt

Yep - now it is visible.
But this is a different behaviour compared to 4.7.7. So is it something that you will change, or is it as it should be now in version 5?

I can see it in lsusb
tc@box:~$ lsusb

But even after sudo rebuildfstab it can't be seen:
tc@box:~$ sudo fdisk -l

or

Confirmed, same here. Regarding 1) no intended change, it is related to 2)

Now we reached an important milestone. Xorg-7.7 is added to the repo, all base components required by TC are updated, rebuilt. Just install TC.tcz from the repo
tce-load -iw TC
and type
startx
to start the graphical environment. If you have a persistent tce directory, TC will start automatically during next boot.
4.x repo converted to 5.x environment and updated to current upstream in many cases, including GTK2. You can use nearly all extensions with 5.0.alpha2, there are no reason to copy them over from 4.x
At the moment I aware only two bugs:
1) USB mass storage partition recognition
2) LTO plugin not found by GCC
Xorg 7.7 and many components built native in 5.0.alpha2, without any issues.
Try it and share your findings with us.
