Author Topic: Useful Qt programs for SL760? (Read 18246 times)

Hi!

I wonder if anyone knows some useful Qt programs ( which does not use KDElibs, such that it could be easily compiled), which could be compiled for the SL-760 with Qtopia based ROM.
I have taken KCommander3 ( and fixed man bugs there ) and compiled it with Qt 323 for the Zaurus.
(Sreenshot on www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/kcommander3onZaurus760.png ).
It is a file managing tool (like midnight commander) with a text editor and previews for text, hex or images.
KCommander does not use anything from KDE such that KDE dep. were no problem.
It is Qt3 based such that I compiled Qt 323 ( size :9 MB lib) for the Zaurus as well.

I wonder if anyone knows some useful Qt programs ( may be Qt3 based ), which would be nice to have it on the zaurus as well ...

Where can we get KCommander for the C7x0? Would you post a link?

I can put it on the web as soon as I have found a location where the Qt323 lib can be downloaded.
This lib is 9 MB of size.
That means, you will need 10 MB of programs ( 9MB Qt + 1 MB KCommander) to run KCommander.

Please post a link here when you find a host. Thanks!!!!

A useful QT program(for me at least) would be Tuxcards (www.tuxcards.de), which is a QT-based outliner and notebook.

Can the QT323 lib be installed to an SD card?

And Zautrix, a million thanks for all the efforts you\'re putting in to programs for the 760!

Very nice zautrix!!!
I want this link ;-)

@PowerZ
I will do so ...

@mjotad
Thx for the link!
Tuxcards looks very useful!
I have it already compiled.
The QT323 lib can be installed to an SD card, no problem.

But there is a problem with the qt323 lib I compiled for the Zaurus.
I cannot handle small pixmaps. Such that Tuxcards crashes after the start.

I guess, I wll take me some time until I find the reason for the crash.
Maybe I have compiled the Qt lib with some wrong settings or it is a bug in Qt.

But Tuxcards should be available in some days.

DOES ANYBODY KNOWS MORE SUCH NICE APPS?

I dowloaded and compiled the latest Qt Version - now Tuxcards is running without problems.
It is really a great app for the Zaurus.
But there is one problem left:
A program compiled for Qt3 does not get an icon in the taskbar, such that it is unreachable, if it is not visible any more.

Hope, I can solve this problem somehow.

Do you experience any performance differences with Qt/2 versus Qt/3 ?

PowerZ · « **Reply #9 on:** April 19, 2004, 07:52:05 pm »

I was wondering if either Mille Bornes (http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man6/mille.6.html) or Pyramid Solitare would be possible?

zautrix · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2004, 04:38:03 am »

@Mikeyl:
I believe Qt/2 is faster than Qt/3, but not very much.
@PowerZ
Do you have any links to sources for these programs?

Hi ZUG-Admins!

Would it be possible to make a compiled Version of Qt 3.3.1 lib downloadable from ZUG directly?
It is compiled for the Sharp-Qtopia environment and make is possible to run any Qt App on the Zaurus.
Its size is compressed about 3.3 MB.

PowerZ · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2004, 06:54:15 am »

This is a link to an X version of Mille Bournes: [a href=\"ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/xmille.tar.Z%5b/url\" target=\"_blank\"]]ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/xmille.tar.Z[/a]
Here is another link to a version: http://www.tip.net.au/~dbell/programs/mille-2.0.tar.gz

If these 2 aren\'t good enough, let me know,

As to Pyramid, I have not found a Linux source, yet but I will keep looking.

And yet another suggesstion, KMonop: http://prutser.cx/~icehawk/kmonop/

zautrix · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2004, 09:47:51 am »

Sorry, but xmille is not a Qt program.
And KMonoP is a KDE game.

Both are useless for my purpose, I wrote:

\"A Qt Application not dependeng on KDE libs\".

Hi ced, thx for the link.

qdu is already running running on my 760.

I have solved the problem with the missing icon for a Qt3 program as well
( I have written a (very small) Qt2 program which callls the Qt3 program and makes it visible when clicking the icon ).

Now there are now technical problems any more to run a Qt3 prog on Zaurus with Qtopia environment.

I will make some ipks in the next one or two week, that all of you can use these progs.

The TuxCards pogram is really a very useful App for a PDA!
