OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Compilation Troubles

« on: March 19, 2005, 07:23:15 am »

Hi,
the whole openzaurus and opie are compiled with the crosscompiling/developement framework openembedded.
You can find it here:
http://openembedded.org/
It is fast, depending on you machine.
There is very good documentation for openembedded.
If you have a linux machine, set up openembedded, then have a look at metadata.
You can browse also metadata here:
http://openembedded.bkbits.net:8080/openem...index.html|src/.
There you will find a lot of similar packages as example and construct the metadata file (they are called bb files, because of the bb extension, that stands for bitbake) for your mapserver.
Once you have this, the frame work build all the necessary packages for crosscompiling mapserver. It gets all the sources via internet and compiles them for your target host.
Once it builds succesfully, you can submit your metadata to the openembedded source tree, so other users can build it too and make some imporovements.
You can find help at #oe on freenode irc, by the mailing list and sometimes here on these forums.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi,
maybe have a look at freenode irc on these channels:
#opie
#oe
#openzaurus

Just say: I can code c/c++ and you will have lot of friends there

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Xmms Install Problems

« on: March 07, 2005, 01:32:31 pm »

Hi,
xmms need libglib. libglib is not glibc.
Get it here:
http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl....4.6-r1_arm.ipk

Cheers,
Sam

For all newbees with SL-5500: Take hentges cardfs OZ distribution, if you have a SD card:
 http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3...opie1.1.7.shtml

It includes all the packages visible on this screenshots, for example xmms:

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gsm Phone

« on: March 01, 2005, 03:16:21 pm »

Hi check this out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/

The suite includes a connect thing based upon gammu. Here is the gcc3 Oz version:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kdepimp...pk.zip?download

For GSM connection through your phone I have seen guys connecting directly by infrared or bluetooth to Phone. Bluetooth is somehow tricky. I dont have any problems between Zaurus and my SE t610 via irda for PIM, but never tried that for GSM.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sam

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Upgrades

« on: February 28, 2005, 05:33:12 pm »

That's a pity - OM/Pi really is much more useable than opiemail - particularly if you're using the rest of kdepi/pi. Are there any other mail alternatives?

/Begin Threadhighjacking
Zautrix provides KDEpimpi including kopiemail for OZ. It is not as well integrated to the OE framework, but from the users perspective you should have the choice Here we go:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kdepimp...pk.zip?download
Install first libsssl from OZ feed, if it is'nt installed. Then install kmicrokdelibs. Then install kopiemail. For kopiemail you maybe need the option force-depends to install.
It runs on my Z with 3.5.2 (hentges cardfs), but I didnt tested it on my mail accounts.
/End Threadhighjacking

Software / Mplayer On Z5500 3.5.2

« on: February 25, 2005, 10:13:46 am »

Hi DeGT,
you need a config file named config in a hidden directory named .mplayer under home/root

This means -> /home/root//.mplayer/config

This configfile must contain:
ac=mad
This solves some of your problems.

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Where Are The Icons?

« on: February 18, 2005, 08:40:19 pm »

Maybe this helps:
As you can see, some are here:
http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/op...cs/addressbook/

But some others missing. I think they are took from other opie apps.
I recommend browse this dirs:
http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/opie/pics/
This looks good too:
http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/opie/pics/inline/
Cheers,

Well some are you are dreaming from windows on a zaurus. This is quite strange to me, because I love linux. But your dreams came true:

Can someone with a SL-6000 point out, that this thing has really the same hardware?
