Pushing a file via ftp and the bash command line to an ftp server

November 15, 2012 by ·

Since I work with the XDA server, I often have to work on stuff in the XDA server, finish it and upload it to my host. Now Goo.im conveniently offers a sftp access, that makes everything very easy. A simple scp command can transfer the file (already descibed elsewhere on my blog). However when it comes to transferring the files via simple ftp, things are a bit different. You need a bash scrip to do it.

I’ve used this script from  Ubuntuforums to suit my needs perfectly:

# The next 9 lines are lifted from mickwombat's script
#!/bin/sh
USERNAME="[email protected]"
PASSWORD="myftppassword"
SERVER="ftp.droidzone.in"
# Directory where file is located
DIR=$2
#  Filename of backup file to be transfered
FILE=$1
# login to ftp server and transfer file

curl -T $FILE -u $USERNAME:$PASSWORD $SERVER/$DIR/

This very neatly takes the file specified in the first argument, and transfers it to ftp.droidzone.in/dir where dir is the specified directory.

Building a host toolchain without sudo or apt

February 3, 2012 by ·

Installing GCC: Manual One
============

First decide on a prefix directory (installation dir)

export $P=that dir path

export $PREFIX=that dir path

Install GMP first
============

with:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-5.0.5.tar.bz2

tar -jxvvf  gmp-5.0.5.tar.bz2

cd gmp-5.0.5
./configure --prefix=$P --enable-cxx
make ; make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr/lib

cd ..

 

Note the following compiler message:
Libraries have been installed in:
/home/droidzone/buildtools/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR’
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
– add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH’ environment variable
during execution
– add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH’ environment variable
during linking
– use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR’ linker flag
– have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf’

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Install PPL next
============
PPL depends on GMP, so specify its location

./configure --prefix=$P --with-gmp-prefix=$P

I think that something has changed with PPL 1.0. Because it doesnt seem to recognize the option –with-gmp-prefix

I needed:

./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gmp=$PREFIX

 

make ; make install

 

Install MPFR
============

wget http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr-3.1.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxvvf mpfr-3.1.1.tar.bz2
cd mpfr-3.1.1
./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr
make ; make install

I think that something has

Now, Install MPC (http://www.multiprecision.org/?prog=mpc&page=download)
================
Install MPFR and GMP first

, and then specify their path for MPC!

wget http://www.multiprecision.org/mpc/download/mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xvvf mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd mpc-1.0.1
./configure --prefix=$P --with-gmp=$P --with-mpfr=$P
make
make install

Now, install CLOOG-PPL (For Graphite Loop Optimizations) http://www.cloog.org/
========================

wget http://www.bastoul.net/cloog/pages/download/cloog-0.17.0.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=$P --with-gmp=$P --with-ppl=$P
make
make install

 

Now, Install GCC http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/

================
cd ~/depend/gcc-4.6.2/ ;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr/lib:/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; ./configure –prefix=$P –with-gmp=$P –with-ppl=$P –with-cloog=$P –with-mpc=$P –with-mpfr=$P
make

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and

Compiling GCC for Sourceforge Host

February 2, 2012 by ·

One should follow a specific order to compile GCC, making sure that all dependencies are compiled properly. Some dependencies depend on others. In general the packages required to compile GCC properly are

Essential prerequisites:

Autoconf
Automake
M4

Direct Dependencies

GMP (requires -cxx option)
PPL (dep: GMP)
MPFR (dep: GMP)
MPC (dep: GMP, MPFR)
CLOOG-PPL (dep: GMP,PPL)

Install GMP first
============

./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --enable-cxx

make ; make install[/code]


Install PPL next


============

PPL depends on GMP, so specify its location


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp-prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr[/code]

make ; make install


Install MPFR


============


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr

make ; make install[/code]


Now, Install MPC


================

Install MPFR and GMP first


, and then specify their path for MPC!


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-mpfr=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr

make ; make install[/code]


Now, install CLOOG-PPL (For Graphite Loop Optimizations)


========================


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-ppl=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr[/code]


Now, Install GCC


================


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH[/code]


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-ppl=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-cloog=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-mpc=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-mpfr=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --disable-multilib[/code]


Finally I found that GCC needs Glibc. Glibc needs Binutils!


Now, Install Binutils


================


./configure --prefix=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-gmp=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr--with-ppl=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-cloog=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-mpc=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr --with-mpfr=/home/users/d/dr/droidzone/hostusr

make ; make install

[/code]


You have to do a make clean if you get errors


Errors likely


However, with this, I got a specific error after around 10 minutes of building!

This means you had to pass LIB path.


Then I got another one..

For this, the following bit of information is useful:
