Anybody Gotten Minimo To Work With X/qt?
« Reply #15 on: December 30, 2004, 12:43:15 am »
My X/Qt installation doesn't seem to want to use the X11 fonts except Type1 and TTF.  I wonder if this has to do with the zaurus not having an iconv.  

Anybody care to comment?

libiconv seems to be needed for string conversions.

I wonder if recompiling glib with libiconv support can solve these problems.

Recompiled glib with libiconv and the utf-8 to iso8859-1 conversion errors went away.
Recompiled gtk 2  with locale set to en_US and the locale error went away.

Minimo works however, I dont see any text on any of the dropdown menus.  Web pages displayed dont have any text on them ( I can see graphics fine).  I think this is still tied to X not caching any of the fonts.  Anybody have any idea as to what to do?

Or maybe I am not packaging minimo correctly.  I moved all the contents of the dist/bin directory and run it on the Z.  Am I missing anything?

Thanks.

Upgrading to the feed-testing packages for freetype and fontconfig enaled fc-cache to cache the fonts.

Since these same libs are in the devel package, I am thinking that I have compiled minimo against faulty freetype and fontconfig libs.

I will try to recompile with the upgraded freetype, fontconfig. However theres is no devel package in feed-testing and I need the include files and bin files.

Finally got it running.  However, I am a little disappointed.  

I cant search using the Search button in google.  It detects the button press but doesn't do anything.  I can click on urls fine though.  Can't go to gmail.google.com. It just shows up as a blank page.  Part of the page on the extreme right and bottom are clipped.  Not much though.  There is no zoom feature.  Popups just cover the entire screen.



Oh Well. It was fun figuring out.
