Re: [ts-7000] Re: 7800 eraseall "not found" error

You definitely have shared library problems, you'd be best to just recompile a static version:

Take a look at the following message (for some reason the yahoo groups search feature seems broken).

many thanks for posting the diff, I thought it was probably a simple mod like that and I already had the original GPL source but this is not the kind of area where suck and see is a valid option. I think you do provide the source along with the vmlinux.bin on the ftp server so that should be easy to check.

I would respectfully point out however that posting a diff here is not GPL compliance. You should make the full source available. Exactly the source that builds the binary.

I'm sure it's an over sight and since you have asked to be notified of any cases on non compliance ,,, it would be nice not to have to call transatlantic or email and wait the weekend for a reply. Having a source tarball on the server next to the binary would save you and "us" time and effort. As well as fulfilling your license obligations.

This is exactly what GPL is about. You profit from the work of others and if you make a mod, you contribute that back in.

Thanks again for your help. I hope this can undo the damage done by yaffs2. There are reports on the aleph1 site about some chips becoming unusable after this sort of erase.

Do you do anything else before mkfs on boards that you get back with this sort of problem?

Best regards.

The "not found" probably means that it did not find a shared library that the executable needs. Try "ldd eraseall" to see what shared libraries it needs.
