Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia 2.2 Compilation And Pngscale Error (solved!)

« on: December 08, 2008, 03:48:50 am »

I have build and run it.
The Qtopia 2.2 for Sharp ROM on SL-C1000.

1. The png-problem was: while I don't have png/uuic developer libraries on host pc.
2. In the qtopia directory exists "utils", and one of them qdwag (smth-like this) should be build for host system, but if you have the -I and -L switch in the qpe section, then it cannot link libraries (while it try to link ARM libraries for X86 build). The Makefile.target  should be modified by hand (i.e. remove -I and -L options for RAM), then source setQpeEnv, cd to it and compile, then run "make" for complete build again.
3. In the QtPalmtop/etc/default/qpe.conf, we need to add new section [Startup], and add the new key: FirstUse=1, and before start delete /etc/pointercal (ths calibration will not work with the /etc/pointercal from previous qtopia.
4. For the run, you MUST add "helvetica" fonts in the QtPalmtop/lib/fonts directory. Without this, the qtopia will start, but you see nothing except splash screen.

I am interested, too.
Can you describe how you build it? I want to build it for my simpad. The description how you did it for your zaurus could help me a lot with .

best regards

Qt/Qtopia / Compile Qtopia 4.3 For Sl-c1000 With Angstrom

« on: May 30, 2008, 08:00:35 am »

I once build the qtopia-gui-img from OE, but was surprised by the result: it is console only, built without qtopia fb support. Is that what needs to be tweaked?

Currently I don't have much time for the Qtopia, but I can send you the last image (opt/Qtopia directory ~15Mb).
It was build for the angstrom, and have some basic applications. I cannot install new applications (need to configure home ftp server.

Alexandr.

Qt/Qtopia / Compile Qtopia 4.3 For Sl-c1000 With Angstrom

« on: March 27, 2008, 08:18:16 am »

Hello all,
I will try to compile Qtopia 4.3 for angstrom.
The Qtopia 4.3 has device profile for zaurus models (clamshell and C3200). Which one to use for SL-C1000?

Thank you.

P.S:
The device profile C3200 has special settings for angstrom but the toolchain it used (as I can see) is not the same as on the www.angstrom-distribution.org site.

Actually it can be compiled using C3200 device profile with angstrom toolchain and some basic tweeks.

Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia 4.3: Install New Applications

« on: February 15, 2008, 07:41:26 am »

I have qtopia 4.3 on the zaurus, and I want to recompile/install and try some applications, but I cannot found how-to install they on the qtopia. The package manager can download packages from internet only.
Is it possible to install the homebrew applications?

I've only played with 4.3 on the Greenphone via the Greenphone SDK (from www.qtopia.net ). The SDK does allow you to install homebrew apps but it does so (if I understand what is going on correctly) by installing it into its own web server built into the SDK.
The SDK comes as a Vmware virtual machine so it may work for you, but it does seem to specifically recognise the greenphone.
Otherwise, it is probably reasonably easy to install your own web-server, depending on your experience. I have done it in the past without too much difficulty but it was in the distant past so the way I did it is way out of date so hopefully someone with some more up to date experience than my own can help.
Should you succeed, I have an Opie-Reader qpk and a VNCViewer qpk which were written for 4.3. They are for the phone edition but I doubt that I've used anything phone specific.

Thank you,
I don't have much experience with web (I am using Suse 10.3 on VMWare), but I think this is one possible way only.
I will try (when I have time for it).

Thank you.

P.S: Does anybody know,  How to make the screenshot?

Thank you.

Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia 4.3, Angstrom And C1000

« on: February 08, 2008, 04:53:31 am »

 
I cross compile qtopia 4.3 for SL-C1000 and it works.
1. It's fast
2. Keyboard and touchscreen work
3. Sample application works

Problems:
1. By default settings the device profile c3200 has wrong screen size (QWS_SIZE="240x320").
2. When I change QWS_SIZE="480x640", when it started, but I have black borders on the screen.
3. When I change it (QWS_SIZE="640x480", when it start, the qtopia desktop screen come with clock for 1 sec, and then it terminated with 3219 Segmentation Fault.
4. When I change "qtopia look", using the "widget manager", to the non-qtopia standard (3/4 option), when It started with QWS_SIZE="640x480" without black border.

Question, is qtopia 4.3 has pda-edition style ? i.e. to start one application you should navigate in many menus.

Thank you.
Alexandr.

P.S: When somebody want to try it, I can post qtopia image (as attachment ~ 14Mb )

Qt/Qtopia / Cross-compile Libs, Libjpeg In Particular

« on: February 04, 2008, 08:03:14 am »

Thank you so much for helping out. I am proceeding via the same method, ie.sourcing to a script setting my variables. Here is its content:

CROSSCOMPILE=/opt/Embedix/tools
QPEDIR=/opt/Qtopia/sharp
QTDIR=/opt/Qtopia/sharp
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$QPEDIR/bin:$CROSSCOMPILE/bin:$PATH
TMAKEPATH=/opt/Qtopia/tmake/lib/qws/linux-sharp-g++/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QPEDIR QTDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH TMAKEPATH

Is anything wrong? Is anything missing?

Thanks

1. export CROSSCOMPILE
2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH: must be LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib, without $LD_LIBRARY_PATH i.e you have path to the "intel" libraries

Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia 2.2 Compilation And Pngscale Error (solved!)

« on: February 04, 2008, 03:33:36 am »

If you just want qtopia2 you'd be better off looking at angstrom as your baseline distro... but then you might as well leap ahead to qtopia4 - I think qtopia4 has been built/tested for it, but you'd have to check for yourself!

Qtopia 4 is good, but wat with performance? I had heard, that the qtopi4 is very slow on zaurus machines.
