Tuxcards 1.2 And Sticky Notes 1.1.5

[ZDevil]

There is another version of libstdc++.so.5 posted by pgas in a pinned thread, which can fix some compatibility issues.  Dunno if that helps.  
I remember I don't need to do the link in order to get TuxCards to run.

Thanks a lot, Zdevil!

Tuxcards and xfe work fine. Sorry, I have to learn to read first.

Best regards

ZDevil any chance of recompiling tuxcards to remove the dependency on libstdcxx5-compat? I was going to give it a go myself but fell at the first hurdle - the installation instructions for tuxcards says you need a qt installation along qmake etc. Then I read your introductory notes at the beginning of this thread that I need pgas' "Qt-enhanced" zgcc-3.3.2.img. Does this img still work under 1.1.0beta1?

If you wait until tomorrow I'll try to upload the full qt install (3.3.5 with moc designer and the rest)  I recompiled for beta1


Or you can cross-compile it,

or I think if you install the qt-headers and ajusting the QT_MKSPEC and perhaps the config file in the mkspec you might also be able to compile it

I think I'll wait if you don't mind   . In the meantime I'll read up on that long thread to see how it all fits together.

Wow.  That's wonderful news.  Really look forward to your great work, pgas.    
No more hassle to switch back and forth between 3.3.2 and 3.4.5 anymore...

Thanks to pgas' updated qt development package I have managed to recompile tuxcards so that it removes the dependency on libstdcxx5-compat.

However I've come across some funny behaviour. The first time I ran my compiled version of tuxcards I got this error:

Code: [Select]

Conflict in /usr/local/qt/plugins/inputmethods/libqscim.so:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library!
  expected build key "armv5tel Linux g++-3.* full-config no-opengl no-stl", got "i686 Linux g++-g++ (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. full-config no-opengl no-stl".
Apart from this it appears to run fine. However I can't get scim to work with it, ie usually CTRL-SPACE will bring up scim, but in tuxcards it has no effect (I have right-clicked in input area and selected "Simple composing input method").

The puzzling thing is that on subsequent runs of tuxcards I don't get the above error anymore, but I still can't use scim.

I reinstalled ZDevil's tuxcards and find that this version does not allow the setting of input methods (ie right-clicking on input area does not give choice of input methods). So what I want to know is whether or not ZDevil's tuxcards does support scim, because if it does then I know I have broken something.

More importantly (  ) I would like to know how I can get scim working in my compilation of tuxcards. I suspect this is what pgas meant when he said "I didn't test either of these very much (at least the input method menu is showning up with the qu-uim ...)"!

No, my compiled version of tuxcards does not support qt inputmethods, not because of the app itself, but just because the qt in pdaX does not support these inputmethods at all.

OK, that's good, now I know I haven't messed things up.

not because of the app itself, but just because the qt in pdaX does not support these inputmethods at all.

Right, I think I understand now  , I compiled using the version with the qt-uim patch applied, that is why my tuxcards allows a choice of input methods, but tuxcards being a qt program means scim is not going to work with it.

That is why we need skim.  ShiroiKuma tried, see here and here
but failed because of lack of the KDE headers

Installed both of these apps to internal on Cacko C1000 Zaurus.
Can't copy and paste from any other app to Tuxcards, button to change font in editor doesn't work and the "sidebar" does not show up at all.

When I install snotes it complains that it requires some dependencies which are not installed.  Run at the console it says it can't find libqte-mt.so.3,  although I placed it in bin in internal.  How do I fix that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there,

As a token of thanks and my humble contribution, here are two handy apps for X, TuxCards 1.2 and Sticky Notes 1.1.5, which I compiled lately. 

Special thanks to Chero for his great teaching and advice.   Your Z home page is yet another chapter in my "Zaurus Bible" collection.     

I compiled both with pgas' "Qt-enhanced" zgcc-3.3.2.img from http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/misc/pgas/gcc-qt/ (the current 3.4.4 seems to lack uic and moc, which are necessary for make) .  pgas, you're darn cool!    

Some notes below.

================================================================
1. TuxCards 1.2:
-- Source file here: http://www.tuxcards.de/requirements.html

-- In the process of compiling, before using pgas' zgcc, make sure the qt dir is symlinked correctly, as described in https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11588&hl= , post #12 (thanks Chero for fishing this out). 

-- A funny story: I followed the original readme of zgcc-3.3.2 and symlink without the "qt" (as reminded by pgas later in that post).   But I could compile successfully with this funny combination of export:

Code: [Select]

# export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt/qt
# export QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/qt/qt/mkspecs/default
# export QT_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt/libWhy?  My funny findings:
The directory "armv5tel-cacko-linux" is in /usr/local/qt, not /usr/local/qt/qt;
The directory "gccv-lib" is in /usr/local/qt, again not in /usr/local/qt/qt;
"make" is only found in .../qt/bin, not .../qt/qt/bin;
but "moc" and "uic" are inside /usr/local/qt/qt/bin, not in /usr/local/qt/bin;

-- "install DESTDIR=... make" doesn't apply in this case.  The files still make install to the main memory anyway.  Actually I was using a foolish way to put things together by copying /usr/local/bin/tuxcards and /usr/local/doc/tuxcards/flowers/* to the data part for creating data.tar.gz.

-- Chero discovers that when this .ipk is installed in cards, all symlinks are like this: "/mnt/card//usr/local/...".   Launching it this way will get segmentation fault.  Fix this by manually re-linking the "flowers" files after installation and it runs just as fine.  Installing it to the main memory does not have this issue.

-- In case someone is looking for libGLU.so.1, install mesa3d_6.2.1-1_armv5tel.ipk and things will go fine. 

-- What's surpring to me is this compiled version opens with the proper window size, so no more drag and resize.

-- The encryption and history functions are very welcome additions indeed (kudo to the author).  Check them out.  The only minor catch is the new function buttions will force the original two neat tool bars into three and leave some empty space unused.  I tend to drag the tool bars to the sides and they sit there beautifully.   

================================================================
2. Sticky notes 1.1.5

-- Source file here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/snotes/

--  I was told that xfce has got a nice a notes-plugin.  But since I am still sticking with matchbox so I need a post-it app so badly.  Being so used to post-its I've got them everywhere: in my pockets, in my inbox, and even on my ibook (Stickies).  So why not my Z?   

-- It's compiled from the latest build (just released on 10 Oct 05).

-- The source seems not to have included a desktop icon.  I just picked one up from a pool of free icons.  Sorry for my poor taste.

-- Some tips for use:
Upon first startup there is a very tiny yellow squrare somewhere in the upper left quarter of the screen.   Alt + hold can drag it anywhere.  It will stay in the new position even after relaunching.
To start playing, simply right click (fn-tap) it.
Snotes will automatically create a dir ".snotes" under /home/root.  A great feature is all the notes are saved just as plain texts in the dir.

================================================================

I'm just a linux dummy.  So don't hesitate to point out any mistake I made here. 
I find the compiling process very fruitful and have gained some hands-on experience.  Plus doing native compilation on Z is great fun, isn't it?   

See if the packages suit your needs.   Enjoy!

Oh, these two apps here are compiled for pdaXrom, not for Sharp/Cacko.

Good news.  I've tested 2or0's qt-mt and quiminput packages and uim works in tuxcards now!
