If you post the source link, I'll compile it and post.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Rom's Getting Hard To Find?
« on: September 14, 2011, 06:15:09 pm »
I'm currently reving up to port some of the software used to work with the RepRap machines to run on the 6000 and 3100 running pdaXrom. Just wish I could find my CF MicroDrive.

User Request for Applications / Arduino, Processing And Puredata
« on: February 02, 2011, 10:14:01 am »
Well, December is now February :^)
That's how it goes sometimes. I've bought some new Arduino hardware and a VideoGameShield from Wayne&Layne. The urge to get Arduino IDE running on my Zaurii is still strong.
Before I cant get Ant compiled, so the I can get Arduino IDE compiled, I need to learn a lot about developing in Java native on the Z.
Right Now, it looks like BlackDown and Classpath are what is needed.

Ah! You're right. Sorry. Let's see if I can remedy that in the next few days.

Here they are if anyone wants them. I'm working on a feed to host all of the new stuff I'm compiling, but who knows when I'll get around to it. ;^)
Do you have an updated version of autoconf?
thanks,
Christopher.

Here are most of the recent things I've compiled for pdaXrom distros that have not been posted (maybe). Please take note that I target all my builds to /usr/local, and I don't usually strip the binaries, or remove man pages.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Ant is where I ran into trouble as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on this in December.

Anyone interested in compiling Moria?
thanks,
Christopher.
I'll take a look tonight, and post the ipk if there are no problems.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Wireless Network With Browser Login

A lot depends on which device you have. If you are using TOSA, you will most likely need to run the dhcp client manually. Authentication does not prevent the router from assigning you an IP address, but the device has to request it to be assigned (ei you have to run dhclient, or what ever it's called).

Ubuntu / Problem Booting
« on: October 25, 2010, 06:58:11 pm »
Some copies of kexecboot out there don't support SD cards well, and some not at all. Even some 1Gig cards have problems. I wish I could recommend some that work, but I just gave up and moved everything to CF.

Will these work with beta3?
Yes, these will work with pdaXrom Beta 3, and any derived works. I use pdaXii13 on the C3100 and Beta 1 on the SL-6000. All are compatible.
Since all of my ipks install in /usr/local/bin, you may have to remove any other copies floating around in /usr/bin.
Some tools like to hang out in /opt/..., and you may have to create symbolic links in there. I think that was the case with make and m4. I might fix that and re-post these if that is the case. Let me know if you try them, and find any issues. Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Status Of Pdaxrom
« on: September 24, 2010, 02:17:59 am »
for pdaXrom Beta 3 and its derivatives, you can safely install the standard development tools, and get started compiling code on the Zaurus.
the main ones are gcc, binutils, make, m4, tar, bunzip, wget, and gawk or awk. If you want to patch code, you will also want diff, and patch. Assuming that you have correctly added your feeds, you can use ipkg -d /mnt/cf2 install {package_name_here}
I use cf2, which is an additional mount point, as /mnt/cf is a FAT16 partition, and /mnt/cf2 is ext2(or ext3)
I also have a third partition on my CF drive for swap (and yes, you need a real drive, not flash). With the added swap space (mine is 1GB), larger code can be compiled than would normaly be possible with 64 MB RAM.
There are some gotchas to be aware of. First of all, an increasing number of developers are developing their source using newer versions of make, m4, gcc, autoconf, etc. The line in the sand seems to be somewhere in the early part of 2009. What this means is that if you are trying to compile newer versions of some software, versions with dates in 2010, and later 2009, may not build, usually due to incompatible m4 scripting in the make files.

It looks like capnfish's feed still exists: http://www.supakewl.com/capnfish/feed/
I'm currently running a C3200 with weeXpc (Daniel's pdaXrom implementation based off beta3). What would I need to start
trying to compile stuff for use on that platform? (or would it be easier to try and patch up to the most recent version?)
thanks,
Christopher.

So my wife just accidentally deleted a bunch of pictures from an SD card formatted in FAT16.
I compiled fatback, and packaged it for Z.
Here it is. BTW It recovered beautifully.

If you don't know about Squeak, SqueakVM, and Scratch, here's your chance to find out.
Squeak is a SmallTalk 80 implementation. It runs inside a multi-platform virtual machine known as SqueakVM.
Scratch is a graphical development language written in Squeak.
All of it is running on Zaurus as of today. I hope everyone enjoys!
For more info look to:
http://scratch.mit.edu/
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_on_Linux
You will need to download the Scratch source image in order to run it in SqueakVM. Later I will package Scratch as a stand-alone, once I add rotation and screen size awareness. For now, you will need to launch from a terminal using squeak.sh ./some_image_name
