I always wondered if pdaXrom applications could run on Sharp/Cacko.
That would be great, because there seems to be so many more applications for pdaXrom.
A question while on this subject:
What does "armv5tel" mean?
Does it mean "pdaXrom only"? or "X" only?

well pdaXrom and Sharp/Cacko use the same kernel and the binaries are compatible. However, some things won't work because of different library dependencies, and the big difference in GUI manager, ie X vs QTe. Most console apps will work on any Zaurus.
Now armv5tel is actually the proper name for ipk files that work on clamshell models.

And if anyone want to try my zgcc image, here is the link:
http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/mirror/stuff/zgcc2-95-2.zipIt works on my Z because I build it there, but hopefully it will work for others too
Seriously, I need others to test it to make sure all the library dependencies have been resolved for the installed utilities on the image.
The image contains the 2.95-2 gcc compiler and tools plus perl and xml parser. I also added tools and config files as well as headers to be able to compile X and qtopia apps.
The zip file contains a squashfs image and an install shell script. You need to have the squashfs module installed first. The shell script will mount the squashfs file and call zgcc-setup which will created the required symlinks.
