Title: Octave 2.1 On Pdaxrom
Post by: Eric2012 on August 25, 2005, 12:45:20 am

Has anyone successfully install Octave 2.1 on their zaurus running pdaXrom?
If so could you explain how you did it? I have been able to install 2.0, but
really need version 2.1. None of the ipk's that I have found on the net will
work for version 2.1.

I have a zaurus C1000 and I run pdaXrom from a 1 GB CF card.

Thank you.

You'll have troubles as all of the old versions scudding around (and the majority are mine) don't use soft-float (or whatever you guys call it ),

You'll really need to compile your own version - it's very simple as long as you have a GCC 3.xx toolchain with f77,

With the help of the pdaXrom Cross SDK and some little experience how to compile a software under linux (./configure, make all, etc.) it's quite easy to compile for your Z off your linux desktop. Try it, even if it's your first time you compile something by yourself. You will be rewarded with having always the newest version of the programs you wanna use.
