Title: Where is \'find\' on pdaxrom?
Post by: ppfundst on March 09, 2004, 10:02:15 am

Hi!

I feel stupid to ask this, but I noticed that several utilities are missing from my copy of the pdaxrom 1.0.0.
I have found that \'find\', \'id\' and others are missing.

Are they in a separate package? And if yes which one?

pdaXrom is great!

Thanks!

The ones for Debian ARM should work since these are console applications.  Give them a try.

someone said it was in the gcc3.3.1.img file ...

Yeah, Find is in our old gcc 3.3.1 image. but you will have to manually mount it. As far using the debian arm port one. I have written a small app to convert .deb to .ipk so that you can install debian arm packages without having to manually install them. the bad part about that, is you need ar installed on your pda. but that is also included in the gcc 3.3.1 image. if you want to try and mount it. what i just did was

Code: [Select]

# mkdir /mnt/gcc

# mount -o loop zgcc-3.3.1.img /mnt/gcc

# ln -s /mnt/gcc/3.3.1 /usr/local
that should work for you.
PM me if you need a copy of the GCC img and also if you like a copy of the App to convert .deb to .ipk.

Thanks omin0us!

I  would not mind having a copy of the app to convert .deb to ipk!

Regarding the missing utilities, my vote would be that they got included in the distribution, as they are really core to a linux system!

Generally speaking, I found the pdaXrom great, but seriously laking documentation. I mentionned it to laze, but I would be happy to work on documenting the rom (what it can do, and cannot and how to do it) if this could be helpfull! Just contact me (pat at monmien dot com)

thanks for the hint, I will give it a try, I still have a copy of zgcc-3.3.1.img!

Keep on the good work!
