[linuxdc-dev] hi

[Lorant T. <Lor...@gm...>]

hello,

I'm new to this list. So maybe that's a dumb question but I am curious. Did 
anybody ever try compile and run Qt/Embedded and qtopia/opie on the DC? 
Should work memory-wise, have no idea about the qt/e internals though 
(maybe it works with an fb-device?). I don't know but I'd love to see a guy 
with some nice applications. Although Opie might look childish and for PDAs 
I guess there are a few interesting apps like Konquerer running as well.

Regards

- Lorant

Find us a toolchain that can build and run both shared executables and the
C++ library, and we'll build Qt/E.

Ok, that is the problem, I see ;)

I guess that means there is not such a toolchain. Is the SH/4 anyway SH/3 
compliant or does it have a different instruction set?
I guess you already know that there is no such toolchain as described but 
if you're not sure I could *try* looking ;)

Such a toolchain exists, but we're having a hell of a time getting it to do
what we want (building/running shared executables).  GCC 3.2 + binutils
2.13 are what we're currently working with.

Both Marcus Brown and I were able to build static (ie total bloat) versions of 
the Qt/E apps, but some things wouldn't build and nothing would build shared.

Could someone give me a quick and dirty "here is how to compile the
checked out kernel code from cvs" howto? I can't wait to start working on
this.

[Lorant T. <Lor...@gm...>]

Bill Gatliff's article on LinuxDevices.com does give a pretty good 
overview. Should be enough methinks. I will try to recompile it too as soon 
as I get a coder's cable I think [and figure out how to use it to test 
compiled programs ;]. (I don't really want to burn a new CD each time) - or 
is there even another way to test LinuxDC compiled programs?

http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7466555948.html

BTW: Does anybody know a good (german, maybe european) source for a coder's 
cable?

*Or* does anybody know if it is possible to use the internal dreamcast 
modem with Linux yet? Is it a standard modem? B/c there are actually guides 
on connecting a dreamcast with a dreamkey browser to a Windows box to surf 
the internet -> networking between DC and PC w/o the BBA (which is really 
rare here :(   ) . That should be possible w/ Linux on both sides as well, 
right?!

A serial driver has to be written for the DC modem.  It's on the TODO list,
but of course patches are always welcome...

www.lik-sang.com - a favorite for years. the site's in hong kong but they ship to the US so i assume they'll ship to germany too. i got my Broadband Adapter there a while back. while they may run you quite a pretty penny nowadays, they are quite useful for development and general linux use. i also got my Coder's Cable there, and have never used it, but it's here if i do find the urge to use the serial port instead of ethernet some day. i assume you could set up SLIP for communications, but when linux is booted and [a]getty is running on the serial port, just plug the serial connector into a serial port on your PC, run [a]getty on that serial port, and you've pretty much got a console type link. 

by the by, does anyone have a binary of a ramdisk and kernel to be used to access things like serial and the GDROM without having the cd loaded? i'd like to... access certain gdrom disks of mine and previous methods have failed, largely due to my own incompetence.

The Linux GD-ROM driver doesn't support GD-ROMs by design.  You can only
use normal CD-ROM media.
