Title: XTide: Ocean tide predictor
Post by: gern on April 08, 2004, 01:54:52 pm
Has anyone tried compiling XTide (http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/) for their Zaurus?
Or, more accurately, has anyone ported the command-line version (tide) or web-server version (xttpd) for one of the Qtopia-based ROMs?
If not, can someone who has their cross-compiler environ setup give it a quick try and see if this is viable for a C-x60 Zaurus?

TIA,

So I answered my own question. Or at least the second half.  I would still be interested in learning if anyone else has actually packaged this application up for the zaurus, but in the meantime I have cross-compiled it for my Z. It works very nice, espeically the web server version from Opera.

The attached archive contains the arm compiled binaries of tide and xttpd, and a shell wrapper for both called xtide.  In addition to those binaries, you will need to download the harmonics file (http://harmonics.unh.edu/xtide/files.html) and make sure you have the zlib and png libraries.  Following the trick from another thread, you can create a symbolic link to libqte for the png library:
   ln -s /home/Qtopia/lib/libqte.so.2.3.2 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3

XTide is was written and Copyright by David Flater. I created the xtide shell wrapper, but all other portions of this app are not my work.

Cheers,
