General Discussion / Ipkg And Zaurus

« on: December 03, 2004, 09:13:04 am »

Ok,

So, do I need to compile my code using a Zaurus-specific cross-compiler and package it using a Zaurus -specific version of ipkg-build?

Or I can use a ARM cross-compiler to compile the code and package it using a Zaurus specific version of ipkg-build?

Or I can compile my code using a Zaurus-specific cross-compiler and package it using the Familiar ipkg-build?

And in all cases, where can I find the appropriate tools?

Thx you guys

Ok GoLinux,

I understand that my Familiar packages will not work, now, what do I have to do?
I guess that I need a cross-compiler for Zaurus, can anyone point me to a working version?
Do I need a version of ipkg packaging tool for Zaurus or the one that I get at handhelds is fine?

Thx again

Claudio

Hello there ppl,

I am new at using Zaurus, got a brand new sl-6000l and trying to figure out how it works.
I had previously a ipaq 3950, so I am pretty much familiar with handhelds. The first thing I did was trying to install software I packaged for familiar linux on ipaq using ipkg  on my zaurus. I was expecting this to work out of the box. I tried to install an ipackage that I packaged myself and it did not work. When I go in the package install directory and click on my package, nothing happens. Then I tried to do the same with a package that I downloaded from www.handhelds.org and again it did not work. This is kinda surprising, can anyone tell me what is going on?

Another question is: I tried to go to the mailing lists on this site but the mailing lists home pages do not exist anymore..... anyone can explain me where I can find such useful resources?

Thx a lot

Claudio
