Title: OZ 3.3.6 applications/compatibility
Post by: Anonymous on January 18, 2004, 02:06:32 pm
Hi,

I\'m using tkcRom 1 right now, and have switched over to OZ 3.3.6 on another Z. There are some must have apps that I need in order to stick with OZ. I really like how OZ 3.3.6 is looking, esp. with the newer kernel and the gcc 3.3.2.

Can someone tell me if the following apps will work on OZ 3.3.6:

1) Opera 6 or Opera 7.3
2) IRK
3) Hancom Apps
4) Gaim

5*) GCC/G++ development environment? Does one exist for OZ 3.3.6? I\'d like to be able to run gcc 3.3.2 and do some development with my MI keyboard.


Thanks,

Gururise

p.s. Has anyone noticed the knights ipk in the 3.3.6 experiemental feed does not work? It installs knights and the phalanx chess engine; however, when you run knights, it cannot detect/find the phalanx chess engine!?

there are some compatibilty librarys for \"older\" apps (compiled with eg. gcc 2.95.2).
look for oz-compat and oz-compat-opie librarys.

to setup a working gcc 3.3.2 env for cross-compiling:
i recommend you to visit www.openembedded.org...
you\'ll find some answers there... ;o)

cheers,
jonnie

2) IRK  

No idea.

3) Hancom Apps  

Yep they work (well Word and Sheet do and I\'ve not tried the Powerpoint-esque one).

4) Gaim  

No idea.

I don\'t think there are any native gcc 3.x toolchains available yet, but I may be mistaken.
