Complete Cell SDK on Ubuntu Gutsy

This torrent contains all files required to set up an Cell SDK development environment in Ubuntu (Gutsy). Included are instructions and scripts. The instructions also explain how the files were created and how you can repeat the process if you want to. This setup also works in the stock andLinux (www.andlinux.org) and enables you to develop Cell applications in widnows, without installing VirtualBox or VMWare. Change the andLinux default to use at least 512 mb if you plan on using the Cell simulator for debugging. Resize the disk to at least 4gb. Do NOT try to install this on a CoFs mapped drive (that is make sure all files are on an andLinux partion). Enjoy!

The contents of the readme file:
This folder contains all required files to install the IBM Multicore Acceleration SDK (aka Cell development environment) on an Ubuntu system.
For basic installation, just run:
> ./install.sh
After installation, start eclipse by typing:
> eclipse
Inside Eclipse, choose "Help" -> "Software Updates" -> "Find and install ...".
Choose "Search for new features to install", click "Next".
Click "New remote site", and enter the Callisto URL:

Click "OK", then "Finish".
Choose a local mirror, and select all the CDT components, accept license and so on.
Finally, accept that Eclipse restart.
Once restarted, choose again "Help" -> "Software Updates" -> "Find and install ...".
Choose "Search for new features to install", click "Next".
Click "New local site", and choose the path:
/opt/cell/ide/com.ibm.celldt.update
Uncheck Callisto, and check the newly added site.
Again, click finish and follow the guide, add all avalible packages.
When Eclipse has restarted, exit eclipse and run the command:
> ./postinstall.sh
Now start eclipse, add the C/C++ perspective, and remove the Java one.
Your Cell environment is now ready.
If you wish to build the entire setup yourself, run the following commands in order:
1. Download RPM files from the Barcelona super computing center
You may need to repreat this command, as it the download stalls occasionally
> ./download.sh
2. Mounts the IBM Fedora ISO files.
Before running this command, you must download the two ISO images, and place them in the "iso" folder.
The files are called CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.0.0.1.0.iso and CellSDK-Extras-Fedora_3.0.0.1.0.iso
> ./mountiso.sh #Mounts the IBM Fedora ISO files
3. Build the .deb files from the .rpm files
This procedure MUST be done on a native linux drive,
as the extration creates symlinks and other features that are not avalible on NTFS drives.
Especially, don't use Samba or coFS drives for this.
You will need approximately 6 Gb for the unpacking.
> ./build-deb.sh
4. Build the patches for the Eclipse IDE.
The file Platform.class is broken, and apart from being unable to determine the correct OS, it throws an exception.
You may retrieve the Platform.class files and run it through a reverser like jreverse to obtain the desired file.
The easy patch is to fix the function getOSLinuxDistro() and make it return a value like "Fedora Core 6".
The file breaks in coLinux, because the call Inet4Address.getLocalHost()
always returns a wrong adresse. An easy fix is to hardcode the loopback adress 127.0.0.1 instead.
To build the new .class files, run:
> cd patches
> ./compile.sh
> cd ..
5. Install the SDK following the guide at the top
