Compiling

To set up build environment

source  ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/extras/profile

Executables for cross-compiling are stored in:

/home/brian/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/cross/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin

To compile

arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++ cgi.cpp vfatregister.cpp vfatedit.cpp vfati2c.cpp -o vfat$i.cgi -lcgicc 
-I/home/brian/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/libcgicc-3.2.3-r0/cgicc-3.2.3 
-L/home/brian/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/libcgicc-3.2.3-r0/cgicc-3.2.3/cgicc/.libs

Flashing the gumstix

If the Gumstix won't boot, you can (rather slowly) flash the filesystem over serial.

Correct alignment of the TTL RS232 adapter

If the gumstix will boot, then flashing from RAM disk over ssh is faster, but if the process fails or gets interrupted you'll have to fall back on the serial method. Remounting the filesystem read-only may not work, and the whole processed failed. Reflash over ssh

Changes necessary from the default image

In /etc/boa/boa.conf change the following lines:

From	To
User www-data	User root
Group www-data	Group root
#ServerName www.your.org.here	ServerName gumstix

Stop and then start boa with:

/etc/init.d/boa stop
/etc/init.d/boa start
