Create images from Webcam images

It is just a pain in the ass if you cannot get any work done because you have to constantly check if the image of a webcam has changed. Therefore I wrote a shell script that downloads the webcam images and puts them together as a video.

Updating compiler suite

Since every attempt to produce a compiler for my NAS that can be used to compile the OpenJDK failed, I decided to create a toolchain on the NAS to compile this stuff. The reason for a separate toolchain is that libraries are needed that are used by the running system. Replacing them is a bad idea. Therefore I set up a native toolchain to compile other programs into the running system. Basically this is the same as the first couple of chapters form the Linux from Scratch (Version 6.5) approach, which I used as guidance. The following listing does not produce the desired results but it is never the less a good starting point. „Updating compiler suite“ weiterlesen

Bootproblems with Linux

Recently I made some changes on my network. This resulted in chaos so I decided that I reboot my Linux machine. This piece of hardware is already a bit older and in dire need of replacement. There are legacy installations of Windows XP and Windows 98 which are seldom used. Due to the hardware limits this is installed as dual boot.
I restarted the machine and Windows got up even though Linux was the default in the grub bootloader.

Yet another Try to get Java running

Since the original aim was to have a Java runtime on my NAS I tried this description and failed. Based on the error message I recieved when calling java -version, I figure that the binaries are not compatible. Therefore I am back to either cross compile or compile a native toolchain to compile on the NAS.
