I just made this:

I originally intended to do it in OpenOffice and script that a little, but it turned out that one (major sucker anyway) had a limit of 256 columns (at least on CSV imports). So I booted Win2k and run Lotus 1-2-3, but it has a similar limit (ok it's from the last millennium).

I then reshaped the script output to make data in columns, but this is the result from Lotus. Still looks pretty cool, eh? Maybe direct SVG output would be better though.

Now it's made it to the developer blog ☺

MacOS X host system

Hi,

finally Thorsten managed to build the FreeWRT development version on a recent MacOS X Intel-based MacBook.
It is fully untested, but at least we now have a build system for tests. Full build of all packages will not work, but we are working on that. Please help and try to build FreeWRT trunk from source. Report Bugs!

Thanks
Waldemar

cleanup of old staging_dir_$arch

Hi,

if you ever compiled FreeWRT from source, you know there is a directory named staging_dir_$arch. This was the directory where the toolchain compile results and all other libraries and headers for the target where mixed up with cross-compile host-tools like gcc. Finally Thorsten managed to separate host and target tools, so that we do not mixup them anymore. There is a new directory called cross_$arch with at least two subdirectories. One is named target, which contains all header files and libraries needed to cross-compile applications. The host directory contains all applications and tools, which are excuted on the host, to cross-compile stuff or to use other nice tools.

Now we could activate native binutils again. Next step is to have a native compile, which sometimes might be useful.
For example you could do some stress test with kernel compiling.

If you are updating your trunk, do not forget to recompile your toolchain via "make cleandir". And remove staging_dir*, because it is obsolete now.

Have a nice day
Waldemar
