I Want It Compiled !

[jpmatrix]

Good. Shall we use the same thread as the custom ARM packages' or a different one to avoid confusion?

if packages works on both version, i think yes, otherwise we should open a new thread

i've tried the zdevil version of notecase under debian eabi and as we guessed, it doesn't work under eabi

i've tried to compile it again but it fails and i don't understand why...
would you compile it again zdevil ?

[ZDevil]

Certainly! I am gonna do that after converting OABI to EABI on my C860.  

[ZDevil]

Before compiling notecase, I am trying to compile gjots2, which cannot be installed from the armel feeds.
And to compile it, i have to compile libgoffice-1-dev and libtool.
To compile libtool, I have installed texi2html, texinofo, dpatch, gcj, gfortran, fortran77-compiler.
So after all this digression, my 3200 starts making libtool ...

you know what?
i was just trying to compile contacts-0.7 from pimlico and i failed because i had to install whatever dev packages and it was broken........compiling seems to be a very difficult and a time-eater task with that armel debian....
i wonder if we could get some help/support from ads (http://www.applieddata.net/)

right now i'm backuping my whole debian eabi and i'll think about what next on my zaurus : continuing into eabi or installing another distro

I simply installed contacts 0.7 through apt-get  

I tried portabase (oabi) on my system (eabi) and it doesn't work either ...  

Chero.

Umm. Then perhaps we need a new thread for uploading and testing new armel packages.  :0
Will build the armel versions of portabase and portabase soon, after building libtool and libgoffice-1-dev.

Do you ever sleep, work or eat ? Or can you spend 24h/day on your Zs ?        
Anyway, never mind, I like it the way it is.      

[ZDevil]

Lol. I almost always work with my Z beside me. And I am used to taking a short break every hour at least. Kinda good way of distraction and refreshment.
(And well, I don't need to do much when my Z is building things, except a few minutes to write the control file and package it by hand if necessary)

yesterday, he went shopping a little

anyway, remember... the zaurus is the ultimate geek's laptop which can really stay 24h/7 by your side ! so, as me, and almost all zaurus' users, ZDevil spend 24/7 on his zaurus !

(just jokin, of course  )

I used to do that but in the end I was taking a break from my Z every hour or so to do some real-life-work. Now I try to stay away from my Z while working (except when I need it) to be able to finish my projects.

You've got to be joking ...

You know what, I even went to shopping with my Zaurus (my shopping list is in xournal)  
And sometimes I can't even tell whether I am taking a real break or not, because I use my Zaurus for note-taking and dictionary look-up. The real temptation comes when it's just a few keystrokes away from playing rather than working...

i'm not english.... so i wonder... is it ironic ? if it is, i assure you... i'm about to be a dentist, and time spent at the hospital during the week doesn't allow me to spend 24/7 on my Z ....
and... to be right... maybe (probably ?  ) if i had the time, i'd spend 24/7 on my Z

Perhaps you can do so if you load *some* useful references on the Zaurus.
