For Sale / Wanted / C760 For Sale At Auction

« on: December 19, 2004, 06:55:06 pm »

I'm selling my Zaurus C760 via auction in New Zealand at trademe (a local auction website). The URL is:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...asp?id=19994705

The reserve is set to $610 (approx. $300 US). It includes a 512MB SD card and a wireless CF card. It has the pdaxrom installed so be warned that it does not have the standard sharp ROM.

Although the auction is in NZ$ I'm willing to ship to overseas bidders.

Chris.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / .NET for the Zaurus

« on: June 21, 2004, 05:52:18 pm »

I\'ve compiled Portable .NET for the Zaurus on pdaxrom which enables you to run some .NET programs, including GUI ones that use Windows Forms. For IPK\'s and information see:

http://radio.weblogs.com/0102385/categorie...06/22.html#a615

The speed is not too bad! The development tools are included allowing you to compile C# and C .NET programs.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / What GUI framework to use?

« on: March 07, 2004, 06:47:17 pm »

When building applications in C/C++ for the pdaxrom, what is the recommended GUI toolkit to use?

Is it Qt?

When building a simple QT application I get a link error:

Code: [Select]

hello.o(.gnu.linkonce.r._ZTI6QGList+0x8): undefined reference to `typeinfo for QPtrCollection\'

I\'m link against qt-mt.so for this. Should I be using qte.so? If I do that I get:

Code: [Select]

/home/chrdou/src/qtscm/hello.cpp:47: undefined reference to `QApplication::exec()\'

/home/chrdou/src/qtscm/hello.cpp:72: undefined reference to `QApplication::QApplication[in-charge](int&, char**)\'

etc, etc.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / CONFIG_FS_SYNC

« on: March 07, 2004, 03:51:37 pm »

According to [1], disabling CONFIG_FS_SYNC in the kernel causes a big speed improvement and extra stability on SD cards. Is this enabled or disabled on the pdaxrom?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gnokii v0.60 for pdaxrom

« on: March 06, 2004, 11:54:03 pm »

I\'ve compiled Gnokii V0.6.0 for the pdaxrom. See:

http://radio.weblogs.com/0102385/categorie...03/07.html#a539

You\'ll need the bluetooth libraries installed although I haven\'t tested bluetooth support. IRDA support works with my 3650 phone.

Gnokii is a program to access addressbook, SMS, etc of your phone.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Chicken Scheme port available

« on: March 05, 2004, 03:26:57 am »

I\'ve compiled Chicken Scheme v1.22 for the pdaxrom. The ipkg and other details are here:

http://radio.weblogs.com/0102385/categorie...03/05.html#a532

This is a full scheme interpreter and compiler to C code. The compiler bit isn\'t much use without native GCC tools but you can code in the interpreter and later compile to C using the SDK on your desktop if desired.

The FAQ mentions a pdaXrom SDK file to download. Where do I find this? It doesn\'t appear to be in the download links.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Native compilation problem

« on: January 21, 2004, 04:03:55 am »

Here\'s a weird one. If I untar a project with source on the main memory (say /home/root/src) and do a \'make\' in that directory I get tons of errors during compilation:

imageBuilder.c:2113: error: stray \'360\' in program
imageBuilder.c:2113: error: stray \'30\' in program
imageBuilder.c:2113: error: syntax error at \'@\' token
imageBuilder.c:2113: error: stray \'346\' in program
imageBuilder.c:2113: error: stray \'23\' in program

What\'s weird is imageBuilder.c is only 1800 lines long. If I do exactly the same, except first untar to the SD card (/mnt/card/src) then do a make everything compiles fine. Strange...Anyone seen anything like this?

Chris.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kernel source

« on: January 14, 2004, 07:04:38 pm »

What kernel does the X11 ROM use? If I want to build the affix bluetooth stack I need the kernel source. Is it available? Or is it the standard sharp rom kernel sources? If so, what config options were used when building?

Chris.
