OpenBSD 5.1 Packages for Node.JS Stable

2012-05-05 by Aaron, tagged as bsd, nodejs, openbsd

I have started building stable node.js packages for OpenBSD 5.1. I will upload them here as I build them.

Currently 0.8.2 is available for amd64 and i386.

Let me know if there are any issues!

Installation via packages

pkg_add -v http://deftly.net/files/OpenBSD/5.1/{amd64,i386}/node-0.8.2.tgz

These packages are using the files from ports/lang/node on -current

Installation via ports

If you would prefer to install via ports, I have supplied a tar.bz2 with the lang/node files in it here

Apply and install with:

cd /usr/ports/
tar -jxvf /node.tar.bz2
cd lang/node
make install clean

OpenBSD pd-ksh on OSX

2011-04-10 by Aaron, tagged as ksh, openbsd, osx

To install OpenBSD's pdksh on linux - you can simply download the source from
here, but for OSX, it's a bit more complicated:

1. First download the package listed above.
2. Then download pmake ( I used the unstable version from Debian ).
3. Apply this patch to pmake.
4. Patch and bootstrap pmake.

cd pmake
patch -p1 < pmake-osx.diff
make -f Makefile.boot
./bmake

5. Patch openbsd-pdksh with this patch.
6. Build openbsd-pdksh!
7. .....magic!
8. VICTORY!!!

Using a picoLCD 256×64 on OpenBSD

2010-06-12 by Aaron, tagged as bsd, kernel, openbsd

The first thing you will notice if you connect your fancy picoLCD 256×64 to your OpenBSD box, is that it shows up as a Human Interface Device.

Unfortunately libusb doesn’t know what to do with devices on bsd systems that are NOT using the ugen driver:

  464     if (strncmp(di.udi_devnames[0], "ugen", 4) != 0)
  465       /* best not to play with things we don't understand */
  466       continue;

Fine libusb! We will have to come up with another way to use this screen! OR! We could tell OpenBSD to use ugen when ever it sees the lcd!

To do that – you need the the OpenBSD source, knowledge of how to build Open’s kernel, and my patch! Getting the source is beyond the scope of this little post.. so you will have to rtfm that action.

cd to the usb source directory: cd /usr/src/sys/dev/usb

Download the patch ( md5: 85e7498826635c612ede672f5e295e7a ): picoLCD256x64.patch

Apply said patch: patch -p1 < picoLCD256x64.patch

pkg_add libusb

Compile your kernel, install and reboot!

Once you are running your freshly compiled kernel, download the lcd4linux-256×64 source from http://picolcd.com/drivers/ . Apply this patch ( md5: 3852103e3e5a13a3cd6b0c49389688f6 ): lcd4linux-256×64.patch, compile ( You will have to play around with the plugins as some of them use linux’s proc fs and are not compatible with OpenBSD ).

Now check out the sample config files and have fun!
