Hi all,
I am linux hacker from a poor country and the only zaurus i could afford was the 5500, which i love. I am currently running OZ 3.3.6-pre1 which i love. I have a few questions,
1. I want to setup a cross compiler using gcc 3 on my gentoo box so i can compile apps for my zaurus. Does anyone know of any good links on how to do this?
2. Java, under sharp rom i had jeode, but it doesnt work with OZ 3.3.6, what is the alternative, is it to use blackdown?
3. mplayer using the integerised libmad playes mp3's fine amd divx well. however i want to play OGM's, does anyone know of a link for a mplayer which has support for the ogm which runs on the zaurus?
I love this device......its great indeed.

1. Look here (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Compiler%20Setup) for a detailed description about cross compiler setup. You could of course also look at the official Sharp site here (http://www.zaurus.com/dev/tools/other.htm).
2. For some Zaurus-Java links, look here (http://www.micronova.com/ZAURUS/index.html), or try this (http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/) link for some additional development tools. An alternative JVM can be found here (http://www.ewesoft.com/Downloads/Downloads.html#_Toc53751658). I don't know if the Sun J2ME Personal Profile found here (http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/pp4zaurus/) can be used on your 5500.
3. X MultiMedia System (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=423) at least says to support ogm. Haven't tried it myself, so give it a try, and share your results here.
Enjoy!

Grab the OZ one from here: http://www.openzaurus.org/official/toolchain/ (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/toolchain/)

I think the old version of Jeode worked - the one from the 2.xx 5500 ROMs - (but I may be wrong, I've not tried it in a long while).

I setup the cross compiler and compiled my first hello world progrmand it worked,,, great!!!!!.
Thanks all.
My other problem is that i have the zaurus setup over usb with ipmasqurading, the zaurus can access the internet, but cant resolve hostnames
# nslookup google.com
*** Unknown host
nslookup: google.com: Host name lookup failure
my /etc/resolv.conf is
# Domain name searches will fail until you point this to a real DNS server.
# search mydomain.com
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 213.133.98.149
am i doing something wrong?
