X/qt Jumbo Cramfs, which model are you running it on? Options

[Meanie]

Hi all,

I was just wondering how many people were using the cramfs image for the X/Qt jumbo package and what models you got it working on. It should in theory work on every model but that is just theory. I was wondering what models actually do work with it.

I have updated xqt-apps and xqt-mozilla cramfs images.

The new xqt-mozilla (0.2) cramfs now has working firefox and thunderbird

The xqt-apps (0.3) cramfs now contains the following applications:

- abiword 2.0 (word processor - unchanged)
- bluefish 0.13 (web authoring tool - new)
- bochs 2.1.1 (x86 emulator with freedos - new)
- dia 0.92 (diagram editor similar to visio - new)
- dillo 0.8 (web browser - unchanged)
- dv 0.0.1 (xv image viewer clone - new)
- ethereal 0.10.2 (packet analyzer - updated to run with sudo)
- feh 1.3.4 (image and slideshow viewer - new)
- flfm 0.3 (file manager - unchanged)
- fltdj 0.7 (pim - unchanged)
- gimp 1.2.5 (image editor - unchanged)
- gqview 1.4.2 (image viewer - unchanged)
- gnumeric 1.2.2 (spreadsheet - unchanged)
- grisbi 0.5 (accounting package - unchanged)
- minimo 1.6 (web browser - unchanged)
- nedit 5.4 (text editor - unchanged)
- sylpheed 0.9.99 (mail client - unchanged)
- vncviewer 4.0 (remote desktop client - new)
- xchat 2.0.5 (irc client - unchanged)
- xmms 1.2.10 (multimedia player - unchanged)
- xpdf 2.03 (pdf viewer - new)

a new xqt-gtk jumbo cramfs is still in the works. aterm and gtk-theme-switch will be added to it hopefully soon.

once that is done, I will start packaging up individual ipk files for each of the applications.

Another job well done Meanie, you are a Saint. I was having problems with firefox cramfs, now it works perfect! Two questions though:

1) is it possible you can give more instructions on how to link the images with the ipktools package. I not sure what to type at the command line with xipk-link

2) I would like to know can you provide some basic howto convert deb to ipk package. I'm interested in porting the latest firefox to the zaurus. The one in you cramfs is version 0.9 I believe.

Thanks for all the hard work, it's much appreciated by everyone on this forum, and noobs like me.

Can you clarify question 1? you don't need ipktools package and use xipk-link unless you want to build your own cramfs image. is that what you are trying to do? the xqtapps-setup file for example is xipk-link (in fact most of the xqt*-setup files in the various cramfs images are xipk-link renamed.

Converting a .deb to .ipk can be easily done by running deb2ipk package.deb
That's the easy bit. However, the firefox on debian is compiled with glibc 2.3.2 whereas sharp rom has glibc 2.2.2. Upgrading to 2.3.2 on the C3000 is very dangerous unless you really know what you are doing. On all other models, you can and should do a NAND backup before attempting to upgrade glibc to 2.3.2

On another note, sashz just compiled the new pdaxrom 1.1.0 beta1 for X/Qt and I was able to run the latest abiword 2.4.0 on xqt. it also comes with firefox 1.5! but i haven't been able to get that to work yet. i will probably have to redo all of the jumbo packages so it will use all the latest apps from pdaxrom 1.1 when it is officially released.
