Hi all,
I seem to remember that last time I tried to use OZ, the 1.5 versions of the Hancom apps simply would not install on OZ.
Is this still the case? If not, how did you get them to install and work?
Thanks
Owen

Well....
I decided to give it a go.
Installing the hancom 1.5 version of the apps....
I tried to install hancom sheet. It installed, but when I tap the icon, I get Could not locate application hancomsheet
I tried to install hancom word. It doesn't even install as the error message I get hancommobileword has no architecture defined
I remember these errors from the last time. I'm just not sure if anyone came up with a solution. I do hope they did
-
in the stable feed for OZ 3.2 there were some replacement programs for the spreadsheet, word processing and presenter programs, I don't think these are ports, but replacement apps. If these programs are there for 3.2, they might be there for 3.3.5
-
That's cool,
Do you know whether any of these programs are actually any good?
Thanks
-
Firstly I assume these are the versions which came with the 5500 2.xx ROMs, otherwise you'll have lots of trouble (read: far too much to be bothered with) getting them to run.
For Hancom word you need to edit and add an arch line to the control file in the ipk package.
For Hancom sheet, try running the binary from the command line (actually see whether the binary exists too).

I remember that extra line being needed in the ipk for Hancom Word, do any kind souls have this ipk recompiled and available to email?
-
My Z came with the 1.2 CD containing Hancom apps ver. 150. Are these the latest??
What is a good tool to edit Word? What is the line and where does it need do be added??
Thanks,
Dan

You can't use the latest ones (without a load of buggering about), use the ones which came with the 2.38 ROM.
Extract the control file from the control.tar.gz archive within the main ipkg. Off the top of my head I can't remember what I had to change (though there was a thread around here describing it, or it might have been on the devnet).
Add an 'arch arm' line (or should that be 'arch arm4l' - look in one of the Opie packages), remove any empty lines, make sure there are no capital letters in the package name (I think..?)

Sort of defeats the point to use a more advanced OS, but be crippled by being unable to install the more advanced apps. I know there isn't a lot of difference between them, but there is enough to be annoying.
-
What are the differences? I thought the main one was that the older apps could save rtf and the new ones can't. The reason why the newer ones can't be installed easily is Sharp's closed source drivers. If you really want them then a group of us did get them working, there are two threads about it on the devnet:
http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...,features&st=15 (http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=3250&hl=adding,and,sharp,and,rom,and,features&st=15)
http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=3351& (http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=3351&)
Now this is curious, there was more info in the first thread but I can't seem to find it. There was a posting by drboom "Posted on: May 16 2003, 07:28 PM" which doesn't seem to be there any more, but can be found with the search function.
Ah, ha - look here: http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...opic=3250&st=10 (http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?showtopic=3250&st=10)
You have to manually change the number on the end; for some reason it doesn't do it properly. Anyway hopefully this will give you some idea of the pain involved.
If you just want to get the old ones working then here goes:
# more control
Package: hancomsheet
Installed-Size: 891116
Filename: ./hancomsheet_1.0.0_arm.ipk
Version: 1.0.0
Depends: qpe-base (1.5.0)
Priority:optional
Section: qpe
Maintainer: HancomLinux
Architecture: arm
Description: Spreadsheet
You also need to either create a /bin/bash symlink pointing to /bin/sh or edit the postinst script first line (where the hash-bang is) to point to /bin/sh. In the script I also changed /home/QtPalmtop to /opt/QtPalmtop, but this is not necessary.
Hope that helps.
