qtopia 1.7 rom
« on: February 02, 2004, 07:31:58 am »
I\'m currently in progress of building a custom rom for the SL5600 with qtopia 1.7 and libc 2.3.2.

what I\'ve done so far (I\'m using a cross-compiler gcc 3.3.2 from OZ)
  - download the SL-C860 rootfs tree
  - compile jpeg-6
  - compile qt 2.3.7
  - compile e2fsprogs
  - compile qtopia 1.7
  - upgrade the libraries in /lib with 2.3.2
  - copy the qtopia files to /usr/QtPlamtop.rom (bin, etc, help, i18n, lib, pics, plugins, services, sounds)
  - compile/upgrade busybox 0.60.5
  - compile/upgrade tinylogin 1.4

What else do I need to do?

how do I configure qtopia to be recognised by the system? where do I copy the qtopia \"apps\" directory?
do I need to recompile all the default libraries/tools from sharp? (/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin.rom, /usr/sbin.rom)

I\'ve compiled the qt 2.3.7 with qt-zlib and qt-png, is it better to compile it with the system libraries?

I\'ll be my first rom so I\'m a bit newbie...

If the build is successfull then this can be merge to another rom like tckrom...

You might have problems as you are mixing/changing gcc and libc versions - some of the programs in the 860 rootfs may no longer work after this.

Hopefully as you are replacing busybox and tinylogin this may not be a problem - good luck

I can\'t imagine why anyone would want to have Qtopia 1.7 (did you try in qvfb?) but anyway, you can refer to the instructions in the opie wiki for how to best build qt-embedded. See also the OpenZaurus buildroot, where ljp added a makefile for it.
