Title: Debian-arm On Oz-3.5.3
Post by: acpkendo on May 31, 2005, 11:47:02 am
I've been poking around a bit with pocketworkstation, but I'm not sure that it is right for what I want to do--I actually just want a couple of apps (siag in particular), so I was wondering if its possible to install debian-arm .deb's directly on OZ-3.5.3.  I know that ipkg supports .deb's--does this include dependencies?  Could I add debian-arm repositories to ipkg.conf and just "ipkg install -d sd siag"?  Are there any discrepancies between gcc in debian (sid shows v. 3.3.5-3 for the arm tree).

I ask this because I installed xqt from the 3.5.3 feed, and it works flawlessly. . . it seems like what's needed to install pocketworkstation is overly involved.  I'd like to quickly install an X desktop (either ROX or fluxbox, most likely) and get siag and a couple other apps running without having to set up the chroot environment, etc...

I think the package trees are totally different...

Will also depend if deb-arm is gcc2 or gcc3 (oz is gcc3 as of 3.3.6)....
