[Pixil-devel] pixil on familiar linux 0.7.2

[smoerk]

i tried to install the pixil_1.2.2-pre10_armv4l-strongarm.ipk package
on an ipaq 3130 with familiar linux 0.7.2. are this packages outdated
and not compatible with a recent familiar linux?

/mnt/ramfs/tmp # ipkg -V3 install pixil_1.2.2-pre10_armv4l-strongarm.ipk
pkg_info_preinstall_check: updating arch priority for each package
Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=pixil (arch_priority=0
flag=16 want=2)
pkg_info_preinstall_check: update file owner list
best installation candidate for pixil
adding pixil to providers
pixil arch=armv4l-strongarm arch_priority=0 constraint=1
Cannot find package pixil.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'
configuring unpacked packages
hash_table[pkg-hash] n_buckets=1423 n_elements=1556 max_conflicts=5
n_conflicts=428
hash_table[file-hash] n_buckets=1423 n_elements=471 max_conflicts=3
n_conflicts=68
hash_table[obs-file-hash] n_buckets=1423 n_elements=0 max_conflicts=0
n_conflicts=0

same problem with the microwindows package.

I'm not sure how compatible those packages will be, as they are suffering from a bit of bit rot.

Pixil *should* build in OE, but I'm not 100% if it does. If you have issues, bother me on the OE mailing list or in IRC and I'll try to give you a hand.

The above package is hopelessly outdated. You're far better
off to grab the latest source distribution off www.pixil.org, setup
the config file for your compiler and application options, and
recompile the new tree. This will build a full set of applications
(not all libraries, you should already have most of them, like libjpeg),
and install it all to run in /usr/local/pixil on the target machine.

i realized that i first have to build microwindows. i tried the
microwindows ipkg from pixil.org. first it di not install, but
unpacking it with ar / tar was an option. When starting nano-X i get
the error "Cannot initialise keyboard".

Which cross-compiler do you recommend. I've got compile errors with
3.3.2 and with 2.95 it didn't find some header files. Which one do you
use (url?)?.

As was indicated below, the ipkg is outdated. You'll need
to rebuild.

I don't have a url, I think we use a 2.96 cross-compiler. The
C++ source requires and older compiler. If you turn off
a few packages, PIXIL will build with a newer compiler.
Microwindows will build with any compiler.
