Openoffice On Pdaxrom

glibc 2.3.5 compiles (with some patching, that is, and there are some configure errors as well ; it takes half a day for a native build supported by a distcc PC) but many apps get broken and X seems to have bugs. The only way to update to 2.3 is to have sashz port and build the feed using it.

Openoffice just doesn't compile, you may try but you will get too many errors to have the slightest hope to make a full working build.

Is there a plan to update pdaXrom in the future to use a higher version of glibc?

AFAIK, stable version of glibc is nowadays 2.3.6, so it would be better to compile it than 2.3.5, IMHO - we should have less errors when compiling OO. But it's huge (18 megs in a source tarball) and surely will take a hell lot of time to compile:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.3.6.tar.gz

So... please go ahead and give it a try.

Thanks to all for your hard efforts.  Compiling these stuff (OOo, glibc) is totallly beyond my knowledge and it's a great pity that I can only watch and wait.  Yet I'll be very happy to test the results.  

BTW, can someone upload the newly compiled glibc 2.3.2 here (not the older on that is reported to be incomplete)?  The posted link http://zaurus.earpassion.net/glibc_2.3.2_armv5tel.ipk is no longer accessible.  Seems the site has been down for a long while.  Many thanks!

Well, I managed to cram OpenOffice onto a 100MB cramfs image and it works on pdaXrom as well as X/Qt on Sharp/Cacko.
I tested this on a C3000 running pdaXrom and a C3100 running X/Qt. Obviously, if you extract the image to your internal microdrive, it will run faster but takes up almost 256MB of space.

Really? I thought the reason OOo failed on pdaXrom was the glibc thingumy.

I'm assuming it would be possible to extract this to an SD card and run it from there, but I unfortunately haven't the fainted idea how to do this or how to link it into pdaXrom so that there are icons and so on.

Incredible news though!

Excellent! Is this image same as the one for the stock rom as detailed on your customise page? If not, and it is a new image where can we download it? Thanks.

This is an updated one. The previous one only worked on X/Qt. You can find it here: [a href=\"http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/pdaxrom/]http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/pdaxrom/[/url]
All you need to do is update /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and remove "-nolisten tcp" from the defaultserverargs, and then mount the cramfs image as a loop device and run zopenoffice-setup from the mounted image. You should see an OpenOffice icon in the menu after you restart X.
otherwise, you can start OpenOffice from a terminal by issuing runoo

OK, I grabbed this file:
http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/pdaxrom/openoffice.cramfs

After mounting it I see that it has zopenoffice-setup as opposed to zopenoffice-install that you mention above. Looking through zopenoffice-setup I find references to minideb, /hdd2, qcop and other things which are not relevant for pdaXrom. Do I have the right image?

That's the right one. I always get setup and install confused. Sorry. This file works for both pdaXrom and X/Qt so the references you see are for supporting both distros. You can run pkginfo or version in the same directory to check.

OK, got it working - takes about 3 minutes to start up (under KDE)   - but it's good to be able to use OOo again after ditching the Sharp rom. Thanks Meanie

Would it run faster from an extracted cramfs?
If so how does one go about setting this up?
I'm gonna see if I can muddle through this myself, but any assistance is gratefully received.

Well....

I thought I'd done ok. I'm using the beta2 for 1.1.0. I'd edited the startx file and removed the -nolisten tcp part. I put the cramfs file onto my SD and mounted it and could see it's contents. I ran the zopenoffice-setup file and a nice openoffice x/qt icon appeared in the office section. I pressed that and.... nothing.

I'm guessing, as per usual, I've missed a step, which is common with me as I'm always fumbling along blind unless I've explicit instructions *sigh*. I've no instinctive feel for linux commands and how things are done.

Anyway. Any suggestions as to where I went wrong....

hmmm. on beta 1 ( I don't feel like flashing just yet) I put the cramfs on the sd (fat 16 formatted, I think)
Mounted it "mount -o loop /mnt/card/what-ever-the-image-is-called.cramfs /mnt/ide/oo"  My hd is mounted at mnt/ide and formatted ext3, and I had made a directory called /mnt/ide/oo for this purpose.

ran the setup program and restarted icewm.

Got a menu item and all worked as expected.

It sounds like you are ding the same thing, or pretty close logically.

Try from a cf?  maybe the new sd drivers are a problem in some obscure and incomprehensible way?

maybe remove the mount point, reboot and do it over?

maybe you are having problems with free ram..and it is working, but taking forever to load fully?

stabbing in the dark,  but I know it can be done.

Kind of ironic that you are the one with a glitch on this, isn't it?

Ah ha

Well.... I tried to be sneaky and maybe speed it up a little. I mounted the cramfs, created another directory on the sd card, copied the contents of teh cramfs into that directory, which I thought would be a way to extract it and then ran the zopenoffice-setup from within the new directory and hence it failed.

From the cramfs it opens on my SD in just under a minute, it doesn't open a document though. Just to a grey screen. I'm using a non modded beta2.
