I'm flabbergasted!!

I am posting this from Firefox 0.9 on Cacko 1.21b with XQt.

Superb!!

Thanks to all concerned.

Firefox 0.9 was recently uploaded to the pdaXrom unstable feed by CoreyC.

Interesting.

Spotted anything else that works on Qt that is supposed to be for the X rom ?

[w14]

I installed X/Qt about an hour ago. I'd noticed CoreyC mentioning that he had built FF0.9 with gtk, as opposed to gtk2, for speed.

Thought it was worth a try.

Haven't had a chance to look at anything else yet ...

GIMP works on X/Qt-no modifications necessary.

How fast does CNN load.  Someone posted that they got 7-10sec on PDX Rom with firefox.
OT, firefox and slackware revitalize older computers like this dell latitude I'm using

[w14]

Takes me about 10 seconds to get CNN.

I can't get it to install. I tried using the installer and the command line. Did you have to do anything special to install it?

Nothing special at all.

Installed X/Qt as per instructions in several threads here, e.g. first post on this page:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...=60&#entry33965

and then just downloaded Firefox from the unstable feed on pdaxrom.org.

The ipk installed no probs, and it ran with no additional messing about.

OK, thanks much...

I'd be interested to know if the developer(s) of X/Qt frequented ZUG, if there was a SDK for it, we could start a porting project to port all pdaXrom apps to X/Qt, I've been running GIMP for a while now, but I'd like to be able to run some GTK2 stuff.  I'd love to have Abiword and Gnumeric on X/Qt.

I'd like XFCE on X/Qt, it was really good on pdaX but won't run on X/Qt

I find that X/QT doesn't get a lot of attention... perhaps because the focus now seems to be to move away from Qtopia and to pdaxrom. I going to try and get a lot of applications running under x/qt because at the moment i really do adore Cacko. It runs so well, but to be able to add a few x applications under x/qt would fully complete it!

There is:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/xqt/8087....0.1_arm.tar.gz
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/xqt/8087....0.1_arm.tar.gz

Just install the standard Zaurus cross-compile environment in /opt/Embedix and /opt/Qtopia, then extract both tar balls in / (they will extract in opt/Embedix and I have confirmed that they do not replace any critical files).

I built the following with the above environment for X/Qt:

http://www.sense.net/zc/go/

Woah woah woah... datajerk.  can i use these to compile stuff on my Z natively or is this just for compiling on a desktop linux for the Z?  I have zgcc installed, and i would like to know what kinda stuff do i need to get to be able to compile some applications, such as X ones...

[datajerk]

Probably, the headers and libs are all there and native to strongarm.

Anybody else been able to get Firefox working with X-Qt? If so, please provide a little more detail  

I've tried several variations. I've got X-Qt working fine, but can't get Firefox to run in X-Qt. I've tried to install firefox  under Cacko to an ext2 SD and then fire up under X-Qt, no go. Then tried dual booting to pdaXrom installed firefox 0.9, then rebooted back to Cacko, ran X-Qt and tried to fire up, no luck  

Cheers,

Jerry
