Title: oz 3.5.1 + gpe + developing apps
Post by: cstrand1 on September 22, 2004, 11:20:11 am

First, I installed 3.5.1 on my 5600 and I really like the look.  It feels more like a linux distro on a hanheld then a PDA.  Very cool.

Being impatient, I am wanting to write some apps and need to know what toolchain to get, plus other needed libraries.  I saw gcc-3.3.2 & gcc-3.4.1 (I downloaded the 3.3.2 version).

I was looking at the webpage, http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/GpeCrossCompilation (http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/GpeCrossCompilation).  Is that what needs to be followed?  The libraries it mentions are installed on 5600, so I just need to copy them over to the development machine?

I created the proverbial "Hello World" app and that worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

For that kind of thing, you should definitely check out http://openembedded.org (http://openembedded.org). It's a build system for various stuff, and it's able to build a toolchain by itself, and packaging your app once you got around writing a .oe file for it.

Cheers
