Zaurus - pdaXrom / A Pdaxrom Development Issue

« on: July 04, 2007, 04:05:45 am »

I'm trying to do some programming in FLTK, but am running into issues. The ZGCC image has FLTK in it (1.1.4), but I built and installed my own(1.1.7). Is there a way to mount the squash file rw so I can remove FLTK from it? I'm getting wierd errors when I try to build apps that stop them from building. I'm assuming it's due to this because the same code compiles fine on my Debian box (FLTK 1.1.7).

Thanks.

As I understand you get errors during compiling or linking?

Have you tried to install includes and library direct on the zaurus and set compiler switches to include and link first against this.

Then you know if that's the issue and can add the apropriate includes and libraries later on to the zgcc system.

By the was: I did also a lot of things in fltk but switched to efltk (see home link below) ...

Seems that there's no primary firmware available. I hope I'm correct that this card uses a PRISM based chip ...

Anybody an idea how to proceed?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Want Compiled Thread?

Can you point me to some source code? I'm having trouble finding any spider solitaire game to even try to compile.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Don't know if spider solitair is inside but maybe some others:

Follow the link to the equinox desktop thread (there's no need running the equinox desktop, all the applications can also be used in a normal X11 environment)

« on: October 15, 2006, 06:24:17 pm »

For further informations please look at the efltk thread: [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=142999\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

chess installs but when I run it complains about "libefltk.so.2.0" missing, I see no other package that might provide this.

bedic won't allow me to install the ipk- I get an error relating to "....efltk-bedic/control/control': Not a directory" and I can't unpack the ipk...

Please follow the link to the efltk thread given above. There you find the newest efltk packages. Afterwards try to install my packages oncemore.

I will check the efltk-bedic package by the end of the week but I think it only complains about it but installation is ok.

If there are further problems with the ipks then please report it to me by a PM. In the meanwhile you can overcome it with:

tar -xvzf <any-of-my- ipkg>.ipk
then sftp the data.tar.gz file to the zaurus
going to / (or better to /tmp for first seeing what's going on)
tar -xvzf data.tar.gz

For efltk-chess please make a link /usr/bin/gnuchess to the correct location of gnuchess.

I installed the efltk-chess on beta1/SL-6000.  Although it looks really great, it does
not allow me to move the pieces.

Please check where gnuchess is installed and add a link to /usr/bin (which is currently hardcoded :-( , I know ...)

Also, the gpe-tabviewer there (both versions) fail to install, with an error message:tar: ./control.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I do not maintain gpe-tabviewer any longer since I switched completely to fltk-tabviewer.
Since there was no ipkg in my feed I added the last one. Since I can't control it at the moment please give me a hint if it's broken and I will repair it end of the week.

If you are still interested in gpe-tabviewer you can use the raw data file inside (without packet installer) per hand

Code: [Select]

tar -xvzf  .ipkg
-rw-r--r-- woody/users   45201 2006-03-26 23:16:49 ./data.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- woody/users      286 2006-03-26 17:48:56 ./control.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- woody/users         4 2006-03-26 17:38:51 ./debian.binary
# put the data.tar.gz on the zaurus for example in /tmp
cd /tmp
tar -xvzf data.tar.gzlook what's inside and install it per hand (only for the experienced user ...)

Based on the discussion of new fltk based setting tools I've started to switch my applications to efltk as base library.

I've started with porting fltk-chess, which you can now find as efltk-chess in my archive:

Zaurus - pdaXrom / New, Fast Pdaxrom Settings Tools

« on: September 20, 2006, 02:23:31 pm »

I think I saw ede in the feeds someplace.

Yes it's in the feed.

As I mentioned above there's a problem with the workpanel.

I found the problem and put a rough corrected version (the real problem lies in the efltk XML code) at.

http://members.cheese.at/woody/zaurus/c100.../eworkpanel.arm

It seems to run now  

replace the /usr/bin/eworkpanel with the new one given above.

Now you can give it a try:

startx /usr/bin/startede

and you should see a running equinox desktop ...

wich are you impressions ? You use it ?

So far I only had a short test on the desktop.
Today I tried it on my zaurus. But currently a popup of the main menu leads to troubles.
The rest seems to be ok. For example raising the timedate window from the panel.

But the question is, if it does make sense to switch to another manager or if it's better to use the efltk-lib (with a small layer above) for fitting as smooth as possible to the current environment.

The applications itself seem to be useable.

Everyone has try to compile Ede ? Is a desktop enviroment that use eFLTK.

ede is available in the feed:

http://mail.pdaxrom.org/download/1.1.0beta...s-7x0-860/feed/

The screenshot given is one application from the ede desktop. It compiles with the efltk library from the same feed above without problems.

I also tried themes now with efltk. I've compiled  the same theme for arm as you can see in the picture  above and it works.

I'm using fltk2. Btw I really like some apps from your site (fltk-bedic and the tabviewer the most). Good work!

I would propose to use efltk since e reuse of EDE will be very easy.

Also the shared library for efltk is already available for the zaurus.

I will put the sources for the datetime application on the link given above, so that you can play around a little bit.
I've looked already on the code and I think it should be very easy to adapt it to your needs.

The launch of the application is much faster then the python equivalent, but there seems to be some additional work to do when setting the time.
(But that can be done with your code or be based on the python code)

I've compiled the edesktop "etimedate" (picture see above) application for my C1000.

It's only for testing how fast the application is.

http://members.cheese.at/woody/zaurus/c1000-archives/

The date/time setting compiled out of the box is not correct yet.

Maybe a merge of the functionallities makes sense?
