Zaurus - pdaXrom / Live Cd For Developpers

« on: December 16, 2004, 02:29:43 pm »

There is a make

http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/rc5/feed/make_3.80_armv5tel.ipk

If you look at the feeds, everything you need for average everday devlopment is there.  I just copied my root filesystem to the cf then copied all of the required feeds to it.  Then chroot into the cf, and ipkg install.  At that point whenever I want to compile something, all I have to do is chroot into my microdrive and I'm ready to go.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Live Cd For Developpers

« on: December 16, 2004, 10:33:21 am »

How about offering gcc et al on the actual Zaurus so I can compile the software I need on the road or away from any other computer. Having to use a desktop computer to compile software for the Zaurus is really a pain in the ass.

I am a bit confused, isnt this already available.  There are feeds for gcc, et al available.  I installed them in a chroot environment on a 4GB microdrive on my C860 and I have been able to compile software natively.  Is there something wrong with that?  I have seen it mentioned in several places that you can not compile software natively.  Someone please straighten me out.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Icewm And Others For Rc5+

« on: December 15, 2004, 10:38:52 am »

I have compiled and tested icewm for katrin rc5 on my c860.  I was wondering how to go about getting it added to the feeds.  Right now it is at:

http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/icewm...17_armv5tel.ipk

I also compiled easy editor which is: "An easy to use text editor. Intended to be usable with little or no instruction. Provides a terminal (curses based) interface. Features pop-up menus. A subset of aee." that I have used in place of vi for years.

http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/ee_1.4.2_armv5tel

Did not make it into an ipk, as it is  a single binary.  But I could.

Also, if there is any interest:
tcl-8.5a3 feed  http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/tcl_8.5.a3_armv5tel.ipk
tk-8.5a3 feed http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/tk_8.5.a3_armv5tel.ipk

and, tclkits (tclkit is a single executable file that replaces both tcl and tk)
http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/tclki...-armv5tel-8.4.9
http://www.ajblack.com:81/pub/zaurus/tclki...armv5tel-8.5.a2

I could also do feeds for the latest stable tcl/tk which is 8.4.9.
