Zaurus - pdaXrom / Help Compiling For Z

« on: June 23, 2005, 05:54:17 pm »

Hello,
I am trying to compile an app for Z and later I want modifi the app for me...

I have downloaded :
http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/archive/rc5/pda...ftfloat.tar.bz2
and untar this at /opt/arm

to compile from source code dir I do this:
$ /opt/arm/runzgcc-vfp.sh
pdaXrom cross developer tools 1.1.0 softfloat(VFP)
Type 'exit' for leave shell.

Cross prefix is 'armv5tel-linux-'

Predefined variables:
X11INC - X11 include path
X11LIB - X11 libraries path
QTDIR  - QT basedir path

sh-3.00$

in this shell I exec this lines:
sh-3.00$ cat makeme
#!/bin/sh
armv5tel-linux-gcc inetflash.c -o inetflash -lpcap
armv5tel-linux-strip inetflash


then I have these errors:
sh-3.00$ ./makeme
inetflash.c:4:18: pcap.h: No such file or directory
inetflash.c:25: warning: `struct pcap_pkthdr' declared inside parameter list
inetflash.c:25: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
inetflash.c: In function `main':
inetflash.c:53: error: `PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)
inetflash.c:53: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
inetflash.c:53: error: for each function it appears in.)
inetflash.c:54: error: `pcap_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
inetflash.c:54: error: `descr' undeclared (first use in this function)
inetflash.c:56: error: storage size of `hdr' isn't known
inetflash.c:62: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

These are my questions: What I must to do? cp my pcap.h to somewhere at /opt/arm... ?
and what means "-lpcap" at armv5tel-linux-gcc command?

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Wifi Card Batery Hungry (dis/conecting Card)

« on: June 19, 2005, 06:22:52 am »

Scripts in the /etc/pcmcia/ and /etc/hotplug/ directories handle the events when you suspend/resume/plug in-out the cards. When do you want to trigger the suspend/resume?

I want suspend/resume between conections, (while I am reading a web loaded, when I am using X remotely between activity periods...) I prefer wait for resuming the connection to waste the batery level...
I supose it can be a problem with jabber or similar IM protocols but it doesn't matter me, It can be an optional function to activate or disactivate.

In the next release there will be a "Power Saving" switch in the Network setup tool, but if you want to use it now, issue a "iwconfig eth0 power on" command to turn it on.

It is great notice!   , but when will enter the card to Power saving mode? timing?

Sorry I have an C-700 with a Buffalo CF wifi card, and my wifi device is wlan0 and not eth0. I have tryed "iwconfig wlan0 power off" and "iwconfig wlan0 power on" and the card power doesn't power on or off... I think I must use cardctl resume/suspend to power saving isn't it?

I think that I have not explained well my goal: I want to power off my wifi card during inactivity periods at wlan0, and power on it when be activity at wlan0. If this mode is transparent for the user (automatic), better.

Thanks again.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Wifi Card Batery Hungry (dis/conecting Card)

Hi,
A very big problem for me is the battery consumption using wifi card, I have temporally solve this problem with this little script:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /tmp/wifion ]; then
   rm /tmp/wifion
   cardctl suspend
else
   touch /tmp/wifion
   cardctl resume
fi

and asigning it to a "silkscreen" botton I can power down wifi-cf card easily.

But I am searching info (or and finished app!) to make it and/or automatic. I think I most do a deamon like program... but what are the parameters I must look? I want mean: when suspend and when resume (events...). Some body can orientate me?

Sorry my poor english...

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kathrin Rc9 Out..

Hi it works fine and more fast than RC8 on a SL-C700.

Some things about:
Upgrade from RC8 with feeds, does not work well, (example startx command disappear and appear startx.old).
Finally I have flashed all again but:
First I had put root partition to the maximal 47Mb. When all instalation procces finalice, a kernel panic appear (something with a sector, I dont remember well).
Then I had resize root partition to 46Mb (max-1Mb) and all goes normally.

I have not tryed this RC more time but I feel it more fast! :-)

Very good ROM!! is my favorite. I will make a donation early.

Excuse me for my bad english.

Igor.
