nanogui: Thread: IPAQ installation docs

Hello,

I am about to begin a prototype based around my 3600 series IPAQ.  I've read
back through the mailing list archive and have found smatterings about how
well Microwindows works on the IPAQ, but I have yet to find a comprehensive
document about installing/using it on the thing.

There was a reference to http://embedded.censoft.com , I found the
screenshots, but not the installation documents Jordan was refering to in
his May 2002 posting.

Thanks for any insight into helping me find this documents to bring
Microwindows right up.

Its really easy.  Given a standard linux installation on the Ipaq, all you need to do is this:

.5. (get a copy of Microwindows, preferably from CVS).

1.  Copy the config.ipaq configuration file from microwin/src/Configs to microwin/src/config

2.  Edit the config file as desired.

3.  Compile the code using your strongarm cross compiler (normally arm-linux-gcc).

4.  Copy the appropriate binaries (nano-X, and anything else that gets your fancy) to the Ipaq.

5.  Everything should work.  We have already handled all the bad parts (screen rotation, etc), so You should be able to immediately start developing new applications.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the Info.

I grabbed a new version of the source from CVS, copied the config and tried
to make.

The thing never completely builds -- it seems happy for awhile and
eventually gives up.  I've tried the config as-is as well as several
different items enabled and disabled.

Is there something else that I need to do?

Thanks for any insight.

Keith

Any interesting error messages?  It shouldn't just sit there without finishing the compile or erroring out.

Jordan

OK,

I just restored the default config.ipaq --> config

Here's the error:

Creating library microwin/src/lib/libnano-X.a ...
make[1]:  *** No rulte to make target 'microwin/src/lib/libmwengine.a',
needed by 'microwin/src/bin/nano-X'

Now, I really only want microwindows.  So if I disable nano-x, nano-x demos
and nanowm this is what I get .....

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'microwin/src/lib/libmwengine.a', needed
by 'microwin/src/bin/mdemo'. Stop.

Thanks,
Keith

Jordan,

The jpeg support was failing and causing the error messages that I was
seeing.  I removed jpg support and everything compiled OK.

Thanks,

Keith

Hmmm..  I just rewrote some of the functions for jpeg in devimage.c,
removing nested functions and other non-ANSI things.  What C
compiler are you using?  I would like to see the error messages
if you're using the latest CVS tree.

Regards,

Greg
