Qt/Qtopia / Cross Compile For Qtopia 4

« on: August 01, 2006, 02:28:05 am »

I wish I'd seen this post before starting a new thread on qt4/qt-core... anyway, this is the command I used to the configure command:

./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -big-endian --prefix=/home/zaurus/QT4
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123891\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

has anyone got a copy of the compiled stuff in squashfs format? i want to try...  
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=135843\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

If anyone has gotten this working, I'm still interested in knowing if you have the touchpad and keyboard working correctly. I have a C1000 and am using pdaXrom. Thanks.

Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia4 Core

« on: June 30, 2006, 01:01:00 am »

I tried compiling Qt4/E for my C1000 some time ago with some success. I actually cross compiled it on my PC and was able to run some examples (textedit at least). I am running pdaXrom and used their SDK. The problem I ran into was getting the pointer and keyboard to work. Pointer (touchscreen) didn't work at all, and the keyboard was mapped all wrong. Maybe this was due to cross compiling. I tried several options for input devices but nothing worked. I'm somewhat interested in this, especially if qt4/e is significantly faster than qt4/x11...

Any thoughts about input devices?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Keyboard & Mouse Drivers For Qtopia-core-4.1.1

« on: March 22, 2006, 02:23:40 am »

I was wondering if anyone knows which drivers to use for qtopia-core-4.1.1 (Trolltech's new name for qt-embedded-4.1.1) for the keyboard and mouse. I was able to cross-compile it and get it to work on my C1000, but the keyboard and mouse don't work.

The options for the keyboard driver are:
Possible values for <driver>: [ sl5000 tty usb yopy vr41xx ]

The options for the mouse driver are:
Possible values for <driver>: [ pc bus linuxtp yopy vr41xx ]

I tried vr41xx for both keyboard and mouse but that didn't work. The default mouse driver is pc, and that didn't seem to work either. It wouldn't compile the yopy drivers, it failed complaining it didn't have linux/yopy_button.h .

When I say keyboard and mouse don't work, what I mean is that hitting the touchscreen did nothing, wouldn't move the mouse cursor at all. As for the keyboard, hitting keys "worked" but the mapping was all mixed up. Any ideas?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hiding The Taskbar & Menubar

« on: February 20, 2006, 02:23:25 pm »

Here are a couple of quick questions. Is is possible to hide the taskbar (at the bottom of the screen), or make it so it hides itself when the cursor isn't over it. Also, is it possible to not have the menubar (I think that's what it is called) on an application. I'm thinking of the area on the top of an application used to move it, minimize, close, and maximize the application.

Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Usb Keyboard

« on: January 02, 2006, 04:49:20 pm »

Searching the forum I've seen several posts related to this, but no answers... I bought a cheap USB keyboard ($6) and it works, except for the punctuation. Nothing happens when I hit any punctuation key, but the letters work great. Is this a keymap issue? If so, is there a keymap out there that will work? Is there a way to get both the usb keyboard and zaurus keyboard mapped correctly at the same time? It there a utility that prints out keycodes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bump. Anyone have any hints about this, I'd really appreciate any info.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How To Complie Qt ?

« on: December 14, 2005, 05:26:22 pm »

I need recompile qt  with a patch,after I patch the source ,I created armv5tel-linux-g++ directiry in mkspecs and
copy files from linux-g++ and tune  the qmake.conf compare from pdaXrom-builder-02.36_29.11.05/pdaXrom-builder/config/pdaXrom/3.3.5-armv5tel-linux-g++/qmake.conf

I don't know if this is helpful, but... pgas helped me to compile qt, it wasn't too bad using distcc after I got over a couple problems. See the thread he started about distcc for info.

General Discussion / Bad Sd Card?

« on: December 13, 2005, 09:39:00 pm »

pull out your files off that sd card.  then format it to fat16.  should work again.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=107042\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Do I have to keep it fat16? or can I format back to ext2? Is this a hardware problem? What's going on?

General Discussion / Bad Sd Card?

« on: December 13, 2005, 07:42:21 pm »

I think my SD card just went bad... I have about 50 megs left on my SD card according to df, but whenever I try to write a file to it, it doesn't work. I just get 0 sized files. I can read the card ok, but no more writing. running dmesg I see a lot of:

pxa_sd_wait_id_response: response time out (cmd=01 MMC_STAT=0x2142)

Any more diagnostics I can run on the card, or other ideas? Thanks.

Josh

P.S. Its a cheap SD card...

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Joe For Rc12

« on: December 12, 2005, 01:54:33 pm »

Someone requested the latest version of Joe, so here it is. This is just a gzipped binary that I compiled for RC12, I haven't taken the time to see how to make a ipk yet, maybe in a couple weeks when I get some more time. I don't think you'll need anything else than the binary to get it working, let me know if you do.

If I do make an ipk, is there somewhere I can put it, some sort of unofficial feed? The server below isn't mine, and I shouldn't be using tons of bandwidth on it... Hope this is helpful.

P.S. Thanks to pgas for helping me to get distcc to work!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / "semi" Native Compilation With Distcc

« on: December 02, 2005, 06:25:25 pm »

Ok, another error. This one should be easier (hopefully). Compiling on Ubuntu worked great. Going back to my Slackware 10.1 system, compiling worked, but linking (joe-3.3, the final command linking all the .o files) gave this error. Any ideas?

/opt/native/arm/3.4.4-xscale-softvfp/lib/gcc/armv5tel-cacko-linux/3.4.4/../../../../armv5tel-cacko-linux/bin/ld: b.o: Relocacations in generic ELF (EM: 3)
b.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
distcc[12253] ERROR: compile (NULL) on localhost failed
make[1]: *** [joe] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=105752\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

This one was much easier. The link on the PC to gcc was in /root/distcc which 'nobody' didn't  have permission to, so it was calling /usr/bin/gcc which of course made an i386 .o file...

Thanks so much to all who helped and bore with all my messages. I'm off to compile some programs now   Maybe all these posts of mine will help some other poor person trying to get compiling to work. Shouldn't have been so hard, just didn't think about the fact that my SD card was FAT.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / "semi" Native Compilation With Distcc

Looks like the error is due to the filesystem (FAT) at this point. Here is a relevant post by Alan Cox:

WOW!!! I think I just figured the problem out. It came back to the warning I've been wondering at all along: ftruncate: Operation not permitted.

It turns out this error was because I was trying to compile on the Zaurus' SD card. After googling ftruncate I realized it was a disc operation (takes a fd as a parameter), so I figured I'd move the joe source to / (it was in /mnt/card). That did it, everything worked beautifully. Apparently you can't ftruncate on a SD card. I assume using CF is ok? Thanks to all who have helped me, I really appreciate it.

Josh

P.S. Can someone confirm my findings, just move something you've compiled fine to an SD card and give it a shot. Thanks again, that was a doosy...

P.P.S. Or, now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with what filesystem is being used... I think my SD is FAT. Can someone confirm...?
