Thanks much for your help with us. None of the core developers have regular access to a Linux box, so we rely on contributions to improve the process. If you have any other suggestions or fixes, please let me know. In particular, I'm curious about the need to chmod the Arduino files from svn. Who owned them when they were checked out? Did you check them out with a sudo?
I was getting a strange error...
check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details: Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file.
So I copied the proper rxtx version serial lib into the work directory ( cp /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/lib/i386/librxtxSerial.so work/ )
Now I don't get that error.
When I run arduino:
I get the file selector dialog but no files are displayed.
When I enter a filename a directory within the work directory is created: for example if I try to open Pd_firmware.pde a directory is created work/NullPd_firmware.pde/
Is there a way to upload this firmware to the arduino from the command line?
and this is beause the build/linux/dist/lib contains a few read-only files:
-r--r--r-- 1 bbogart bbogart 0 2006-08-27 15:45 empty-file
-r--r--r-- 1 bbogart bbogart 6192 2006-08-27 15:45 entries
-r--r--r-- 1 bbogart bbogart 2 2006-08-27 15:45 format
-r--r--r-- 1 bbogart bbogart 118 2006-08-27 15:45 README.txt
Which seems to be an .svn directory.. does svn creates this itself, or are they checked in? I tried running through again and the errors can be ignored (I did not realize that at the time.) if the compile fails and someone tries to recompile though then they need to override the readonly to delete the work/ directory.
probably best to have all files read-write for the current user.
Thanks for applying the patch to the svn! I'll update the howto accordingly.
How do I debug a java freeze???

yo on the second service i got the arduino compiled. with run.sh i get the file open dialog however steering f.e. to work/dist/examples/digital\ IO/ no files are displayed/can be chosen & selecting this (or others) directory it segfaults.
what kind of file the selector is looking for to keep him goin?
I'm working on installing on Arch Linux, which has no avr packages
Just wanted to say that I found this website http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/install_tools.html
it seems to have good instructions for compiling gcc binutils and libc for avr.
I'm in the midst of it now, i'll post back if its successful
i'm trying to make arduino work from the command line on my fedora core 6 box. since there are no avr-gcc rpms available at the time of writing for fedora, i compiled them myself.
using the instructions from here: Arduino Playground - CommandLine i'm trying to compile a simple example code, but i'm getting errors:
avr-objcopy -j .eeprom --set-section-flags=.eeprom="alloc,load" \
--change-section-lma .eeprom=0 -O ihex foo.elf foo.eep
avr-objcopy: there are no sections to be copied!
avr-objcopy: --change-section-lma .eeprom=0x00000000 never used
make: [foo.eep] Error 1 (ignored)
gabor: the error seems to be appearing in a command to build a file you don't really need. You can modify the Makefile to not build it at all. Change line 127 from:
Hi,
I just compiled everything needed to run arduino on Linux by myself and it works fine.
I just missed the hint to build an avr-g++ either - but that was a minor problem to be fixed easily.
Just follow blindly step by step the buildprocess of an avr-environment, install some JRE, jikes, RXTX, build the usb-serial kernel module, get the IDE via the subversion repository, set up pathes and environment variables and smile happily at your blue-ish IDE.
Now I have to wait for the actual board as I just placed my order two hours ago.
on the other hand, i'm planning to submit the avr rpms to fedora repositories. if they got excepted users will be able to install avr development tools easier in the future in fedora.
Hey All,
I had a little trouble getting things to run on Ubuntu Edgy AMD64. I had to install the package "librxtx-java" first. Then I had to fix the CLASSPATH reference to the local copy of RXTXcomm.jar. It needs to point to "/usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jar". Next I had to make two changes to the dist/arduino script. I had to again, swap the reference to the installed RXTXcomm.jar and then I had to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to /usr/lib instead of the {cwd}/lib so that it will find the correct .so files.
I can supply patches if needed.
Everybody running Ubuntu Linux: forget about compiling the software
The only working Howto for me was: Arduino Playground - Debian
It is simple and up to date ...
Hi I am a total Newbie to Linux I have SuSE 8.2 Personal Edition. I could not get Ubuntu to work on my machine. I am currently working with it in the Windows Environment and want to expand my horizons.
I downloaded the latest version of the Arduino software and "unpacked" it onto my desktop and can't get it to run. I read the installation instructions and to be honest - just don't understand what they are trying to tell me. :-/.
Remember that I am a total Newbie to Linux and I would really appreciate the help.
