Qt/Qtopia / Can one develop on a Windows box with Cygwin?

« on: January 29, 2004, 01:02:44 pm »

Thanks for the various suggestions!  Alas, I was unable to get the cygwin approach working.  (Got as far as an X window appearing, and then couldn\'t get past wacky shared memory crashes.)  After a fair bit of time and pain, I finally decided that stuff I want to program is sufficiently simple that I should just sidestep this whole issue crosscompiling C++ for zaurus/qt with win/cygwin business, and try Java instead, which seems to be working out so far, yay.

General Discussion / how to enter Esperanto (or other Unicode) characters?

Actually, I take it back about them not being in the Unicode table, I found them, cool.  This may let me get something going in conjunction with the keyboard drivers, though I still would like to know if the handwriting recognition can be augmented to recognize additional characters.  I notice it already recognizes some ISO-8859-1 characters that are just roman letters with circumflexes and umlauts and such, but it doesn\'t seem to know about the Esperanto letters.

I\'m a new Zaurus owner and am having a tough time getting up to speed on how best to do app development.  I\'m comfy with C++ but have never done development with cross compilers for embedded systems before, and my home box is Windows...  After a lot of downloading, reading, and futzing around, I\'m feeling stumped.  Does anyone know if it is even possible to get the trolltech sdk working with Cygwin on Win2k, or do I really need a true linux box?

General Discussion / how to enter Esperanto (or other Unicode) characters?

« on: January 24, 2004, 01:51:05 am »

Ok, I found the unicode-fonts_0.5.0_arm.ipk which includes Esperanto characters for display, but I am totally unable to find a way to enter Esperanto characters as text into the Zaurus... (I can only view it in a file copied to the Zaurus.)

I have looked at some of the downloads for alternate text entry and none seem to do what I need (e.g. they require you to be able to enter the letter to assign it to a key, which is a chicken-and-egg problem...).  The letters I need are not in ISO-8859-1, they are in ISO-8859-3.  E.g. Ĉ etc.  The Unicode entry method doesn\'t show my Esperanto characters even though I installed the font that displays them.

Is there a way to augment the character recognition to learn additional Unicode characters so I could draw a c with a ^ on it and have it be recognized as ĉ?

An alternate solution would be if I could toggle a mode where entering the 2 letters in a row, e.g. cx, gets turned into ĉ (a common keyboard method used for entering Esperanto text).
