General Discussion / Shirtpocket Troubles?

« on: March 28, 2005, 02:42:34 pm »

I have also been waiting for a couple of thinks from Shirtpocket. I ordered a wifi card, 256MB CF card and a USB adaptor. I have been waiting almost 2 months now.

I was been a bit patent as they were moving site but since its been back up i have sent a couple of Emails and had no reply, and have called a number of times with no answer. It is getting quite frustrating now. I paid for the products when i placed the order and now i can't even get in contact with them.

Dont really now what else to do except wait.

If you've been waiting for that long,  and you've paid by credit card, it's time to call your credit card company and file a complaint.  They'll investigate, and if they don't get a satisfactory resolution for the non-shipment, you'll get your money back.

But there are limits to how long after you paid that you can file a complaint, so you'll better get on the phone quick!

I placed an order in February for an Origo Senao WiFi card and the money was taken from my account. To date I have still not received my card. All attempts to contact them via email and phone have led to nothing. I have now complained to my bank who are now issuing me with a refund. My advice would currently be to not to trade with shirtpocket!!!!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Compiling Remind For Pdaxrom

« on: March 28, 2005, 03:32:17 am »

install the pcre-xxx  from the feed correspondig to you release.


*edit: oh I see the ect message thing!

It is a word-wrapping problem, read:

error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=72477\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I've installed the pcre ipk and have now been able to compile remind on my Z  Many thanks for those that have helped.

The Remind documentation states that if you have TCl/Tk (wish 4.1 or hoigher) installed and are running X Windows that you can type wish ./build.tk followed by make install. I have installed the tcl and tk packages from the RC9 feed but when I type wish .build.tk get:
bash: wish: command not found.

What gives?

What version of pdaxrom are you using?
Did you install the image corresponding to your release?

Can you try to compile a simple helloworld by hand to get a more meaningfull message (or look inside config.log)?
 
My RC9.1 zgcc-3.3.2.img expect to be mounted in /opt/native/arm/3,3,2-xscale-softvfp.
Maybe the problem is that gcc expect something different from /opt/arm/3.3.2-vfp?

Look inside /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit you should see  a mkdir and a mount for zggc-3.3.2.img if it is found in /home/root. You will see the path it expects.

Thanks pgas. I placed zgcc-3.3.2.img in /home/root and rebooted my C860. The img file is automatically mounted now at /opt/native/arm/3,3,2-xscale-softvfp.

So I went back to my Remind folder and typed ./configure. It starts to compile and lots of messages scroll by......the recurring one being:
error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared obj
ect file: No such file or directory

I'm guessing I'm missing the libpcre library? How do I install that? The message about "ect file: No such file or directory".....is that a typo? should it say etc?

The cross compiler provided is for linux x86 only: you will not be able to compile on OSX.

You have to use the native compiler on the Z (ie install the zgcc.img).
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=72232\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

OK...I downloaded zgcc-3.3.2.img onto my SD card and then did
#mkdir -p /opt/arm/3.3.2-vfp
#mount -o loop,ro -t cramfs /mnt/card/zgcc-3.3.2.img /opt/arm/3.3.2-vfp

I then did #export PATH="$PATH:/opt/arm/3.3.2-vfp/bin"

When trying to run ./configure from the folder I unpacked Remind into I get

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

What am I doing wrong?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Compiling Remind For Pdaxrom

« on: March 25, 2005, 07:02:00 am »

I am new to Zaurii and pdaXrom but eager to learn. Can anyone tell me what steps I have to go through to get remind (http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/open_source_remind.php) running on my C860? Can I just run ./configure, make, and make install on the Z? Do I need to compile the package first before transferrin it to Z? I am running OSX - how do I compile remind for the Z on this platform? I've only ever installed Unix apps via Fink.

Thanks in advance
Andy.

Hi,

A month ago I purchased a C860 from another ZUG member and have been very happy with it. Unfortunately I have just been hit with an unexpected large car bill  so am going to have to part with my new toy as funds are needed!!

The unit is 3 months old from shirtpocket and is in mint condition will all boxes, manuals, stylus etc. that the unit came with. There is also a pdAir leather case and pdAir 3-in-1 stylus, both in mint condition, plus a Origo CF WiFi card (bought last week from Shirtpocket!!), 128MB MMC card with USB SD/MMC card reader.

I will ship for free to anywhere in the UK and will accept £450.

Send me a PM if interested.

Thanks.
Andy

Accessories / Combo WiFi CF cards

« on: July 23, 2004, 12:22:07 pm »

I'm a brand new C860 user in the UK and am looking to get a WiFi card. SanDisk have available a combined WiFi CF card which would provide storage at the same time as WiFi. Does anyone have any experience of the combo cards in their Z? Are they a big drain on the battery?

Thanks in advance.
Andy.
