http://pidgin.im/

http://z.drun.net/packages/pidgin_2.4.3_armv5tel.ipk

Fixes the "client is too old" error.

A must for everyone, using previous versions.

i have pidgin 2.0.2 installed on my pdaxiiv2 c3000, if i install the 2.4.3 it gives an error for libenchant.so.1

how can i install and use pidgin 2.4.3?

and also if i install pidgin 2.1.1 or 2.2.2 it gives mn ssl error.

I know the chances of you responding to this are almost null, but I have to try.

When I try to install this on pdaXii13, I am getting an error about a missing shared object file: libcairomm-1.0.so.1. I have cairo installed, but apparently libcairomm are the C++ bindings. I could only find a debug package for Armstrong, but nothing for pdaXrom. Do you have any ideas of what needs to be done to get this file? I'm really wishing to play GNUDoku!

If anyone want a complete findutils package, including the updatedb and locate commands, here it is!

You have to run the updatedb command at least every so often to keep the index current.

In my quest to bring development tools for pdaXrom out of the dark ages, here is a port of the latest cmake.

I needed this in order to build SqueakVM.  That will be next, if it works.

[jcabrer]

If you don't know about Squeak, SqueakVM, and Scratch, here's your chance to find out.

Squeak is a SmallTalk 80 implementation.  It runs inside a multi-platform virtual machine known as SqueakVM.

Scratch is a graphical development language written in Squeak.

All of it is running on Zaurus as of today.  I hope everyone enjoys!

For more info look to:

http://scratch.mit.edu/

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_on_Linux

You will need to download the Scratch source image in order to run it in SqueakVM.  Later I will package Scratch as a stand-alone, once I add rotation and screen size awareness.  For now, you will need to launch from a terminal using squeak.sh ./some_image_name

So my wife just accidentally deleted a bunch of pictures from an SD card formatted in FAT16.

I compiled fatback, and packaged it for Z.

Here it is.  BTW It recovered beautifully.

[climber]

Great job compiling fatback for our Z :-)  Thanks a lot!!!

By the way I'm also interested in compiling other useful utilities for the Z but I'm not familiar with it. Would it be possible to write a short step by step
documentation which applications I need to install and what steps are necessary to compile it. If you could use fatback as an example this
would be cool!

Thanks

Here are most of the recent things I've compiled for pdaXrom distros that have not been posted (maybe).  Please take note that I target all my builds to /usr/local, and I don't usually strip the binaries, or remove man pages.

Cheers.

Not an ipk yet (since I don't know how to build them  ) but just binaries.

GNU APL 1.6a http://www.gnu.org/software/apl/
Build without sqlite/postgres support
Additionally I've built APL Keyboard Translator (akt, https://github.com/TieDyedDevil/akt )in this archive.

Put these binaries somethere in the PATH.
Usage:

Code: [Select]

akt apl --noColorOne could enter APL characters using Alt key.

Note what the APL font should be installed, get it here: http://www.dyalog.com/apl-font-keyboard.htm
Place them to /usr/share/fonts directory
Run the following command to register them:

Code: [Select]

fc-cache /usr/share/fontsNext step is to add this font to the rxvt configuration.
In my case I'm using Lucida Console in rxvt and APL386 for APL characters.
Add the following line:

Code: [Select]

rxvt*font:xft:Lucida Console:pixelsize=16,xft:APL386 Unicode:pixelsize=13to the ~/.Xdefaults
Then run the

Code: [Select]

xrdb -merge ~/.XdefaultsRestart rxvt.

It is convenient to set the alias to run APL. Add

Code: [Select]

alias apl="akt apl --noColor"to the ~/.profile
Now if you restart rxvt you can run APL with the apl command.

One more note: by default most fo Alt+0..9 hotkeys reserved by openbox for windows manipulation. In order to use these hotkeys to enter APL characters on the numeric row, one have to edit the ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file and comment these hotkeys (or redefine them to something else).

Keyboard layout provided by akt is the following: https://github.com/TieDyedDevil/akt/blob/ma...r/keyboard1.txt

Now we have a fully functioning APL on a mobile device!

I never used pdaXrom, but I have ipkg scripts which I have used to build packages for the Sharp ROM. They're probably the same.

[Varti]

Well done! I have never used the APL language myself, what are its applications nowadays?

BTW for IPK building, refer to my post here: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?s=&...st&p=282582
I also think that IPKs for Cacko and PdaXrom share the same structure, and the same tools can be used to build them.

Yes I see this info, I'll try do deal with it later.
The usage I see is rapid application development, prototyping, data analysis, solving any algorithmic/coding problems
I see mobile devices the new future for APL and related languages (like J language) since they are really dense and the problem with entering characters on mobile devices - the main pain when someone want to implement something on a mobile device - is not an issue and one would spend much more time concentrating on the problem than typing.
I personally will just experiment with different algorithms and puzzles.
