Port Of An Open Source Bejeweled Clone

Looks like openembedded.org is down at the moment. Or it might just be really slow. In any case it's a re-direct to here: http://oe.handhelds.org/ so have a go with that too (which works for me).

I'll have a dig around and find the URLs for the pre-built Opie and GPE toolchains.

Thanks, I'll take a look around there.

Well, that clarifies some things.  I guess I incorrectly assumed that most Zaurus users are comfortable with the command line.

Okay, so somehow I manage to get beyond the nearly insurmountable task of unpacking the tarball and here's what happened next (from my notes):

Download Gem Heist. Unpack it. "./gemheistarm" on the ever-tricky commandline returns:

No libSDL, abort.

Go find libSDL... Seems that onscripter-lib_20031201_arm.ipk is a good place to get it, download onscripter.

"ipkg install onscripter-lib_20031201_arm.ipk" bitches about me not being root. As root it bitches about feeds.

That's nothing compared to the way I bitch about it. It installs anyways. Hurray for ipkg...

Okay, so I'm ready to try again!  ./gemheistarm gives me:

"QPaintDevice: Must construct a QApplication before QPaintDevice" Aborted.

WTF??


Okay, so search the forums. So, into the search box goes:

"QPaintDevice: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice"


It returns:

"Sorry, but we did not find any matches to display. Try again and broaden your search crite..."

Searching for just "QPaintDevice" gets me to

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...hl=qpaintdevice

Which has the entire line just as I had originally asked for it. Déjà WTF?


So anyways, it seems that it's a rather trivial problem. As long as I recompile it. Groan...

So now I need to compile it? Anybody got links to a compiler? I'd hate to give up now that I'm so close to success...

Edit: A report on whether this works or not would still be much appreciated.

Be careful what you wish for

Thanks, that's exactly the type of error I was afraid of (not that specific error, but something to do with Qtopia).  I'll see what I can do about it.

Alright, I've recompiled it.  Hopefully this version will at least start.

Edit: I've updated it to remove the libSDL_image requirement and fixed a bug where it tried to load the wrong background image.

Okay, I just downloaded it and tried to run it. It still gives me a "QPaintDevice: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice" error.

Would there be anything leftover from the previous attempt that might be messing things up?

FWIW, I'm running it in QKonsole.

Well, that's rather strange.  Without a Zaurus to fiddle around with myself, I'm not really sure what I can do.  I guess I'll do some Googling.

The only thing I can think of is that it might not like making a window that's larger than the screen (which would only happen on a 5x00 since it's still set up for the 320x320 of the Palm OS).  Which model are you running this on?

It's a C860, I'll add that to my sig.


Did you look at this?

Yeah, I did.  I'm pretty sure I did that in the recompile, but I'll check again.
