Hi,
I'm trying to get ViewML to run on the Assabet. I
successfull managed to compile ViewML on my PC but the
thing is that the final ViewML binary file is a
whopping 6.5MB!!
Now I've tried creating an 8MB ramdisk but somehow I
can't seem to fit in ViewML and the rest of the basic
Linux files required.
I've got a couple of questions:
1. Am I right to say that the ViewML binary is this
big because the nano-x server has been "built into"
it?
2. Does creating such a binary mean that when it's
finally loaded into the Assabet, it's not going to
require any other files to run (e.g. libraries, etc),
i.e. I can just copy it into any directory and just
run the ViewML binary by typing ./viewml?
3. Suppose I don't create such a binary and I simply
compile the browser without nano-x included, then I
load the nano-x server and ViewML to the Assabet
separately. Would this require less space (so that I
can fit it into the ramdisk) than the original 6.5MB
binary?
4. How do I go about installing nano-x on the Assabet?
Does that mean I've to install Microwindows on the
Assabet itself? So I just copy the Microwindows gz
file to the Assabet and uncompress it? Or is there
some other file I need to install specifically for
NanoX?
5. Also, what instructions do I need to follow to
build ViewML without Nano-X built it?
Would really appreciate any comments/remarks!
Thanks,
Supriyo
