Hi! How was compiling on device? Is it fast? I am expecting it to be slow. How long does it take before you fully compile NXEngine btw?

for NXE.. no more than a minute. it takes more time than a computer thou.

DonQt not to be mistaken for Don Coyote

all buttons work. im having an issue with returning to the gui from osso-xterm. im trying to do it with d-bus but i don't know why my d-bus service file does not function. i figured that would be the best method. any suggest towards this is welcomed.

Release: DonQt
Coded in pyqt

Description: DonQt is a tool to set up “Maemo SDK” without risking any root space or destroying the system. DonQt is just a GUI, it uses commands developed and debugged by daperl, qole, Tigerite. To achieve a functional SDK in a chroot environment.

Known issues:

• No automatic returning to the GUI from osso-xterm.
  (if anyone has a solution to this im all ears).

• When entering Token this appears “code:QcoreApplication::exec: The event loop is already running. (but don't pay any mind to it because you enter token the same way).

it is attached in first post.

(if there is any name I did not mention who helped with development/debugging please step forward..i mean no disrespect).

Thanks for doing this, and if you're looking for ideas, have you seen the Maemo 5 SDK GUI installer for scratchbox? I could be wrong, but I think it's actually written in Qt Python. I've used it a few times; it really makes for a painless SDK install.

A feature request:
As option:
- Intergration of freepascal
(from this thread:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Compile_FreePascal_on_device
)

@daperl
i looked in to it, the code is well integrated.
i'd like to use there widow to enter the token (or make one).

@gerdich
could you elaborate more on this. when i read i basically get its a compiler for graphics development(games,etc)?

another question, do you personally use this?

@everyone
i have an update but it not a major overhaul. just fix a little issue.

Yes I use it.

Lazarus (Gui for freepascal) is like BORLAND DELPHI for Windows, but for Linux&Windows and it compiles with n900.

Lazarus is a complete development plattform to program everything including GUI. It has a GUI for developers and a designer for GUI's and it compiles on n900.
It's a complete development environement for n900 (even on device!!!)
Instead of C it compiles to freepascal. But it opens all the libraries of C, if the freepascal headers are given.
You can program sound, graphics, networking, ... everything, using the libraries of the n900.

It is based on GTK (like n900!!).


Yes! I am programming with it! And it works very nice!
I can use my delphi programs on windows. I can transfer them to lazarus (on windows). I recompile them on debian which crosscompiles to ARM. It runs on ARM and has QT-support.
It can even write python libraries.

In fact it is the ideal tool to develop for n900.

(It can also openGL, but I've not seen any adaptation for openGLES.)

I've got a compiler on n900.
But I would like to have an easy tool that installs all libraries and recompiles the Lazarus GUI everytime a new version appears.

@gerdich
now i like the idea better. i'll see what i can do(if any thing i'll ask you since you've done it before). maybe even switch up the GUI. i like what they did on this Thread. but in the current state of my code its not possible... or is it?

I thought that you could add an option-button for the freepascal SDK

The binutils are the same.
The source is here:
svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
(Following to http://wiki.maemo.org/Compile_FreePascal_on_device)

The only thing you have to add is the precompiled binary of "ppcarm" (crosscompiled on debian .e.g., I can send it to you if you want)

If you want also to add the lazarus gui you need
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus

and the instructions are here.

This would be a very nice extention of the DON !!!!
