Native Gcc Compiler For X/qt, almost ready Options

[Meanie]

I have updated the native gcc 2.95-2 dev image to inlcude the required headers to compile and build X/Qt and pdaXrom apps. With this image, you can create console apps, qtopia apps, kernel modules and X/gtk+/gnome apps. The compiled binaries should run on Sharp/Cacko and pdaXrom.

Oh yes, this is a dream!!!

When? When?

[xjqian]

2.4.18 or 2.4.20 kernel or both?

[Meanie]

it is bundled with the 2.4.20 kernel headers since both my Zauri use that.
and it will be available soon, as soon as i iron out all the little nitty gritty problems. i am currently testing/using it to build pdaXqtrom.

pdaXqtrom????? sound very cool!!!!
Is this an pdax with QT?

it's pdaXrom running under X/Qt. it will run the same apps as pdaXrom. the goal is to be able to install directly from the pdaXrom feeds once this is done so you can get the latest pdaXrom apps like Firefox 1.5, Abiword 2.4, etc... while running Sharp/Cacko

I always wondered if pdaXrom applications could run on Sharp/Cacko.
That would be great, because there seems to be so many more applications for pdaXrom.
A question while on this subject:
What does "armv5tel" mean?
Does it mean "pdaXrom only"? or "X" only?

well pdaXrom and Sharp/Cacko use the same kernel and the binaries are compatible. However, some things won't work because of different library dependencies, and the big difference in GUI manager, ie X vs QTe. Most console apps will work on any Zaurus.
Now armv5tel is actually the proper name for ipk files that work on clamshell models.

see this thread for more details http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16750&hl=

And if anyone want to try my zgcc image, here is the link:
http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/mirror/stuff/zgcc2-95-2.zip

It works on my Z because I build it there, but hopefully it will work for others too
Seriously, I need others to test it to make sure all the library dependencies have been resolved for the installed utilities on the image.
The image contains the 2.95-2 gcc compiler and tools plus perl and xml parser. I also added tools and config files as well as headers to be able to compile X and qtopia apps.
The zip file contains a squashfs image and an install shell script. You need to have the squashfs module installed first. The shell script will mount the squashfs file and call zgcc-setup which will created the required symlinks.

I am trying to compile xgs, an apple iigs emulator. When I run the ./configure it gets as far as "checking whether byte ordering is bigendian..." and then quits, saying "cannot run test program while cross-compiling" This seems odd because I'm doing a native compile.

Please note I am new to compiling so forgive me if this sounds like a simple question.

Trying to install but keep getting error message that says:

"error: you have to be root to run this!"

Don't understand what problem is as I've tried doing 'su' or 'su -' first but doesn't help...

Also, when I do 'su -' and then './install.sh' after I've navigated to directory where the install files are located, I get the message './install.sh not found'.

When I do 'pwd' I then get '/home/root'.

So, it's changed directory location on me!

What's the trick to get this installed??



Thanks,

Mark

[Borealid]

That "-" after "su" tells it to change to the user's home directory and act in all ways as if you'd just logged in as that user (in this case root). Why not just do a "su" and then navigate to the directory?

[ArchiMark]

Thanks for your help, Borealid!

However, as I wrote I tried that....and just tried that again to make sure....but I get that error message about not being root again...

Any other ideas???

Thanks for the updated install script, Meanie!

Well, at least for once I know that I did something wrong....

Anyway tried out the script but now I get an error message that it can't find any spare loop devices....

CODE

# ./install.sh
Installing zgcc 2.95.2 to /usr/mnt.rom/card
mount: Could not find a spare loop device
./install.sh: /mnt/zgcc/zgcc-config: not found
.: Can't open /mnt/zgcc/zgcc-env

So checked 'mount' and 'df'.....

Looks like I have extra OpenOffice loop devices that I should remove, right??
..... like /dev/loop6 and 7, right???

Or what should I do ???

If I need to remove loop devices, what's the right way to do that??

Thanks,

Mark
