Post by: PowerZ on June 05, 2004, 09:55:49 am

Has anyone be able to use this on a Zaurus?  I would like to use this on my C-750 and have been unsuccessful.  Looking for some guidance/advice.

I want to run JPluck directly on my Z.  I have been able to get it to run on my PC just fine.

JPluck needs a later version JVM than the one available on the Zaurus. I very much doubt if you\'ll get it working without considerable modification.

The standard version of the Plucker distiller works, though. You\'ll have to use the command line interface and you won\'t be able to convert images (unless someone has ported PIL - Python Imaging Library (IIRC)).

If not JPluck (the Java version), then why not \"plucker\"--the standard linux version? Is it possible that this can be cross-compiled to work on the zaurus?

The standard linux version of Plucker is a Python script and works almost out of the box on the Zaurus (providing you install Python first). The main thing that won\'t work is images because there is no port of the Python Imaging Library to the Zaurus (that I\'m aware of).

The plucker desktop (the GUI front end) is wxWindows based and would require a fair amount of work to port. It probably isn\'t worth the effort unless you aren\'t comfortable with the command line (in which case you probably wouldn\'t be comfortable porting it 8^) ).
