Hancom Apps

[papercrane]

I meant hancomsheet for those, not hancomword. I just tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and running makecompat anew, but it still does the same thing...

I just realized that it's actually outputting the name of the binary before quitting. Like this:

root@collie:/# hancomsheet
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/hancomsheet
root@collie:/#

I think you're trying to use the wrong version.

You need to use the version which came with the original 5500 2.xx ROMs.

I don't get the error which you're talking about and it does work on my Z.

I've just tried using HancomSheet (up until now, I'd just started it and done some random typing to ensure that it didn't crash).

The bad news is that although it runs, the numbers displayed in the cells are not the same as those which you input.

I had been wondering where this -soft-float incompatibility had gone and it looks like this is where.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I do wonder whether HancomWord/Presenter/Opera will work (assuming they don't have to do floating point calcs - which is probably assuming far too much ;-))

@ lardman

I saw this from one of your previous posts:

What are the differences? I thought the main one was that the older apps could save rtf and the new ones can't. The reason why the newer ones can't be installed easily is Sharp's closed source drivers. If you really want them then a group of us did get them working, there are two threads about it on the devnet:

Now this is curious, there was more info in the first thread but I can't seem to find it. There was a posting by drboom "Posted on: May 16 2003, 07:28 PM" which doesn't seem to be there any more, but can be found with the search function.

Ah, ha - look here: http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...opic=3250&st=10

Of course, DevNet is now down for good. . . is there anywhere else to take a look at these?  The mirror of the site here at ZUG seems to be unavailable too. . . I'm giving a shot at getting the Hancom apps, Sharp PIM's, and/or Opera installed and working (just for something to do. . .   ).  If I succeed at any or all I plan to write HOWTO's based on 3.5.1.

On a related topic, in terms of the packages themselves I can't seem to get the ones packages for the Sharp ROM to install. . . ipkg complains.  OZ packages are based on the ar format, right?

I don't think this will work due to the soft-float thing.

I think offroadgeek was going to try to integrate this stuff, best ask him as I don't have any copies of this stuff (I don't think).

Opera is easy to install (it used to install and work fine on 3.3.6pre1), it'll probably install fine on 3.5.1, but it may not work (I've not tried it yet), again due to the soft-float thing.

The Hancom and PIM apps from the 3.xx Sharp ROM are difficult because of libsl and quicklauncher (is that the name). If you want to try to get these to run, good luck ;-).

OZ ipkg can handle ar or tar.gz ipks; the problem is that some of the control files in these packages are not formed to ipkg's liking. I can't remember off the top of my head what it is about them, but this has already been thrashed out elsewhere on the forum, so I'd try a search for it.

That's too bad- I really hate having the older apps put my files in arbitrary folders.

I was planning to grab copies of quickexec, libsl and libzdtm (although the latter is part of the Sharp PIM's packaged by tKc) from the Sharp ROM and seeing if I could package them up.

I did see this in one of the other threads, and I'm working on it using the Ipkg HOWTO on the OpenZaurus.org site.  The error I'm getting now is "can't find file hancommobileword. . ", even though I know I'm pointing ipkg towards the right place.  So, I figured it was because I packaged it with tar.gz instead of ar.

Even the older apps will suffer from this I'm afraid (at least HancomSheet does - that's all I've tried).

No, this is due to the control file.
