Question With Fltk And Their Ui Builder Fluid
« on: February 14, 2007, 08:52:00 pm »
Hi, good Day.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post here about compile Palm OS Emulator (POSE) for Z, I got an answer by "plcg", thanks!:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22899

Well, the second part of the history is that I could not compile it, there are different ways to do it, but no one works, summary reasons:

1) POSE needs FLTK, it works on Z, but the problem is that POSE also needs the FLTK's UI builder, called FLUID, without it there is no way to compile it.

2) The FLTK version as .ipk (1.1.4) do not include FLUID, so it is necessary to compile from source, the problem here is that just one version of FLTK compile with FLUID on Zaurus, it is the fltk-1.1.7 version, I tried with the other version and fail, mainly due to FLUID.

3) Besides There is no way (well I do not know a way to do it) to use a cross compiler to create the .ipk on a PC, mainly because FLUID needs to be executed when you run "make", but if you do that on a PC the binary cannnot be executed  so the package "must be compiled on Z".
(I tried it using the /opt/cross/arm/3.4.6-xscale-softvfp-akita/ cross compiler method)

4) Well, once I got the FLTK working with FLUID on Z(version 1.1.7), next step si compile POSE, ups! the problem is the memory (I think), if you run "make" running X, you will got a compiler error, but if you close the X session and run "make" from console mode the compiler works better but finally it falls, it describes a gcc error, so I think that it needs more memory to compile it.

Well those are my conclusion, maybe I am doing something wrong, Any advice of you will be really apreciated, I would like to build a POSE package to share, because I think that there are really useful Palm's apps that could be used on Z.

Thanks a lot.
Best Regards.

If this works, will there ever be a way to get Palm OS 5.28 and later ROMs to work in POSE.
I researched this over a year ago and the only way to emulate these later ROMs, is to "simulate" them.
I have the simulator for my Zire 72, which is Palm OS 5.28004

In other words, have any of the emulators (POSE) gotten up to speed with the newer Palm Os versions?

Sorry for off topic question. (I have some cool stuff on my Zire, that I would love to try on my Zaurus).

Hi,
I would like to add the c++ error that I got:
---------
c++: Internal error: Terminated (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report
make[1]: *** [EmDlg.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /mnt/linux/src/Emulator_Src_3.5/BuildUnix/
---------
By the way, I did it using pdaXrom beta3 on Zaurus SL-C3100.

Besides, I used the patch from the qpose page:
http://www.climov.com/zaurus/qpose/

But it does not work

Any advice to compile POSE??

Best Regards.

Add a swap file. You can find instructions by searching here on the forum, on Google, or there used to be instructions at pdaxrom.org, but I don't know now.
SL-C750- pdaXrom beta 1 (mostly unused)
Current distro: Gentoo
