Announce: Slimmer

[itsikhefez]

I added it in a new section of the wiki: https://github.com/terba/slimmer/wik...r-picoreplayer

I think the only thing missing to compile Slimmer on the RPi will be the liblcdapi-dev package which was made by me but is not in the Slimmer bundle. I can send that to you over email.

Hey.. I went through the new section you added.
Seems to be fine except the `compile-essentials` and `liblcdapi-dev` which are not found

Besides that, I PM'ed you with my email address for the missing lib...Thanks!

Hello Balázs,

I'm also looking for the missing lib lcdapi.
I sent you a PM with my mail contact.

Regards

Experimenting with Slimmer on pCP 5 and one of the installation steps fail because it cannot find libftdi

So - tried switching the extension repository to the official piCore one but it still fails to find it.

tc@piCorePlayer:/tmp$ tce-load -w curl icu libftdi
curl is already downloaded.
icu is already downloaded.

Can one of the pCP team rebuild that extension for current pCP 5 ?

I'm sure I can manage that..... I doubt there is any significant change that would need it to be recompiled, but I can pull it across to our repo.

For now you should be able to just use wget to get that from the TC repo.

wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/9.x/armv7/tcz/libftdi.tcz
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/9.x/armv7/tcz/libftdi.tcz.mdt.txt
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/9.x/armv7/tcz/libftdi.tcz.dep
md5sum -c libftdi.tcz.mdt.txt

If there is a dep file then you will need to grab the dependencies manually too

I also tried to use Slimmer on PiCorePlayer 5 with no succes. I wasn't able to install the ftdi librarie. I managed to install the dependencies manually but still got problem with libusb.

Finally I tried with pCP 4.1.0 and everything went fine. Thank for this nice piece of software.

The libftdi extension in the tinycore 9.x repository has a 1 at the end of the name, so it is libftdi1.tcz

I've uploaded libftdi1.tcz to the picoreplayer 10.x repository for picoreplayer 5.x and 6.x and can be installed from the Extensions section of the pcp web gui.

The libusb extension is already in the 10.x repo and loads okay.
