Ipk Setup For C3000

[nich]

I was looking through google and the forum on information on how to build/compile applications for a Z, in partiuclar for a C3k.

The best info I could find for doing a cross compile on a linux box was from: http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/669
Does anyone know of a better guide on how to build an IPK using a cross-compiler?

I remember seeing a post on the forum about how to compile on the C3000 however I cannot find this anymore. Is there a guid out anywhere on how to compile on an app on a C3000 and then turn it into an IPK package so it can be removed easily?

Is there a standard/community method for releasing IPK packages or just host them on a webserver and add them to http://killefiz.de/zaurus/

Thanks for any help.

Check out the Gentoo for Zaurus HOW-TO

Gentoo for Zaurus includes a tbz2ipk converter so you can install the compiled packages in the Zaurus.

If you are talking about compiling programs you wrote, it's probbably a very round about way of going at it since it relies on the gentoo "package" system.

In the scripts from handhelds.org, you may need to alter the code slightly to make the outer wrapper a tar.gz rather than ar archive (as the Sharp version of ipkg only supports the inefficient tar.gz outer wrapper).
