Robotics Club and More Updates on the Chumby

Had a good time with the WT Woodson Robotics Club this afternoon. It never ceases to amaze me how focused everyone can become when they have something they really like to do. This evening's activities are to setup a toolchain on the Ubuntu Laptop and attempt to cross compile the ROS system for the Chumby.

(1) Downloaded and setup the toolchain on the Ubuntu Laptop re: Chumby GNU Toolchain. Following the directions and everything appears to be set up correctly, including the symbolic links to the compilers, etc.

(2) Went back and wiped out what I had attempted to do over the weekend with the gumros.sh file (converting to have it do the chumbyros build). The reason for this is that I have a new compiler setup for the arm processor in the Chumby and I want to make sure that it is right. This is for a cross compiler system for the Chumby. I was able to compile and link apr-1.4.2, apr-util-1.3.10, apache-log4cxx-0.10.0, and then had a compile failure on boost. I will have to meter the output of the compile to see what went wrong.

It's late and I will get back to this on the weekend.
