Angstrom & OpenZaurus / SL5500:OZ 3.3.6pre1 & OPIE 1.1.4 Snapshot preload custom

But once and for all... if you folks would spend just a fraction of the energy you spend into shaping up an outdated and unmaintained release without a future instead into helping us to get a current release out, then the world would be a better place.

I just can\'t understand that. Work on OZ 3.3.x is pretty much wasted and pointless and people who have experience enough to produce a derived work would be very valuable for the project\'s future.  


You know, I wonder why we bother too...  

Maybe it\'s because we operate in the dark (when\'s the last time you looked at the OZ homepage) or maybe it\'s because that\'s the last snapshot we have (and yes I know it\'s more then 6 months old) so we use it because we actually need to use PIM stuff or maybe it\'s because we don\'t want  to fuck around trying to set-up a toolchain to build something that might not even compile...

I can tell you that after my experince with OpieSDK ( http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...c&p=23095#23095 ), which resulted in something unusable (change a widget in Qtdesigner and nothing compiles), I think the bar for entry is far too high...  

Maybe somewhere on the OE Wiki there is some page that says I can just do the following:  
Code: [Select]
apt-get install OE-toolchain OE-src-snapshot; cd /opt/OE/src; make clean; make initrd; make kernel
and get a working rom or a half-working rom, but how would I know?

But with wasting your time on old releases you weaken us as a community.


There is no OZ/OE community, we are but the left-overs...

The version of hotplug and pcmcia packages you are using are a bit broke in regards to the zaurus. (cf cards do not get recognized) I have noticed this eslewhere besides your rom image.


You\'d have noticed this if you\'d run OZ3.3.6pre1 before, as that is a problem common to all ROMs built off of it... (I didn\'t upgrade any non-opie packages, I didn\'t even do all of the opie ones - just enough to get the basics and pim stuff working)

I\'m not sure if the CF problems have to do with the kernel or compiling things against the new GCC, you\'d best ask Kergoth or Mickeyl  about that one....

Quote
I de-graded to an earlier version of both packages, and cf worked again.


Do tell... where did you get an earlier version compiled w/ GCC 3.3.2 that works or did you manage to install libcompat?  

If you describe the procedure and it proves more reliable that what\'s on the initrd now, I\'d be happy to implement it...  as even I have the occasional CF hick-up, which I work usually around by cartctl suspend, zaurus suspend, zaurus resume...

Accessories / Netgear MA701 problems
« on: May 21, 2004, 12:52:15 am »
I have an MA701 running on on my SL5500 / OZ 3.3.6pre1, the driver for the CF slot is a little flakey...

if when I insert the card:
- the card flashes a couple of times and then goes solid, I\'ve got an ip... good to go
- the card flashes continuously the driver and card are okay, but it hasn\'t found an AP or can\'t get an IP (like WEP turned on but no keys config\'ed)
- the light on the card stays solid (no blinking) then I have to run a cardctl suspend, suspend the Z and resume...  and it should reinit the CF and start going...

What\'s different in opie 1.1.4? I cant seem to find a release notes saying what has changed.


Well, I don\'t know if there are any release notes...

I can tell you what I\'ve noticed so far:

- konsole now has a full screen mode, which I like...  you tap a hotspot to get out of it

- apps seem a bit faster loading, and I can flip between calendar and address book without either of them locking up

- bug fix for calendar so appointments edit screen does not go off physical screen when appointment title is long.. (this has been an annoyance for me from opie 1.0 -] 1.03)

- mediaplayer fixed some bugs but has some new ones...  mime type problem is fixed, but it currently can\'t scan for available songs on my z.
it still plays music okay, but you have to use add file for each song and then flip to a different tab and then back to playlist before it will play.

:idea: See 3rd Message for latest script


Old stuff:

I promised Hugh that I\'d release this almost a month ago now...  I\'ve been trying to get rid of the last bug, but I can\'t hack it so time to open it up and see if others can help.

I have a working system able to run the SDK fully built on an old version of Morphix lite from July 2003.

On all other Debian/Knoppix-based systems, I am able to get the OpieSDK (kdevelop 3.0.0) running, but when creating or openning a project I get:
Quote
Could not create language plugin for C++

Here is the install script so far, OpieSDK needs about 550MB at its peak and will use about 460 after it is finished.  That doesn\'t include any packages you need to get for dependancies.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

Toronto / Union Station Encounter!

Wasn\'t me... I have an MA701....

There is a wireless access point in Union Station right beside Harvey\'s (replaces one of the pay phones)...   I\'ve tried it out and it\'s very fast...
