I think the espressif guys have already made the symbolic links in the toolchain(http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2):
$ ls /opt/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin/

ah so you're using the xtensa-lx106-elf.tar.bz2 file, not crosstool-NG toolchain from the wiki.

i've got you now. hmm, not many people bother with that method anymore.

still doesn't seem to work for me, now because it can't find some headers e.g. #include <xtensa/simcall-errno.h>

Hmm...Have you ever seen a line like this: NodeLua 1.0.20141218 (With liblua 5.1.5) Copyright (C) 2014 NodeLua.org free mem=32960
And what is the toolchain you are using?

I haven't seen anything else after 'user code done'
I used 0.9.3 SDK.

i've got you now. hmm, not many people bother with that method anymore as its 32-bit only.

Yep, I'm running 64bit linux too, but with ia32 compatible packages. So I didn't notice its 32-bit only at all
Anyway I'd like to try crosstool-NG and make NodeLua work with it when I've enough time

Code: Select all//#include <xtensa/simcall-errno.h>

"make install" then works and after a reboot i get the line:

Code: Select allNodeLua 1.0.20141219 (With liblua 5.1.5) Copyright (C) 2014 NodeLua.org free mem=32880

and can setup my wifi. but then what? how do we connect to websites or run a server etc? i'm not interested in using the cloud service.
