Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xboard/chess builds ok, but cannot execute on Zaurus

Geez, it just shows you how long I have been programming Java, I have forgotten all of my X tools. Thanks.

To be honest with you, I am not that familiar with gnuchess. Can you explain, briefly, what the book.dat is? Thanks again.

One more question: How do I determine the X fonts (the old -*-name-weight-type-style-*-*-... format) available to me?

OK!

I have gnuchess running with xboard on my C860.
It is awesome. I am in heaven.

How do I go about releasing this to the public?

Thank you pmf.

I realized that I was missing SDL libraries, but did not notice them when I looked at the list of the feed on the website. I was stupidly looking for \"lib-\", not sdl. Now I see them.

Thanks again.

I rechecked the build log and noticed that the make was running install with the -s option, which was causing it to use the linux strip, which was munging the executable. Once I removed that option, all was fine.

Now struggling with the fonts...

I downloaded GNU chess, and it built easily and runs just fine on the Zaurus. That was very encouraging.

So, I downloaded xboard. It builds easily. Very impressive.

However, when I run xboard in the Zaurus, it says \"cannot execute binary file\".

I have double checked the build, and all the correct armv5tel-cacko-linux tools are used in the build. If I try to run the binary on my Linux box, I get the same error \"cannot execute binary file\".

Any ideas why the binary is not executable?

Ok, so the problem I had with building was the LDFLAGS. So, when I run configure like this:

Code: [Select]

  LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link,/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/lib"

   ./configure --host=armv5tel-cacko-linux --build=i686-linux

   --x-includes=/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/include

   --x-libraries=/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/lib
The make completes with no errors. Happy.

Alas, I still get the execution error on the Zaurus: cannot find libSDL.so

Has anyone gotten this example to work?!

I have been trying desparately to get the newvox example to build for pdaXrom. When I follow the directions on the website, I get a long list of X11 \"undefined reference\" errors. To correct this, I modify the Makefile to point the -L option to the X11R6/lib directory, as it appears to only point to lib. This corrects the missing references error.

However, when I attempt to run the program on the Zaurus, I get an error about not finding libSDL.so. Of course, libSDL.so is not installed on the Zaurus, and the example instructions to not mention this library.

Has anyone gotten the example to work?
Did you have to do anything special?

I have noticed that no matter how often I recalibrate the stylus, it is never \"precisely\" calibrated. It does not appear to me to be off by 20 pels, but it is definitely enough for me to notice. I simply work with it. For now.
