:oops: That's an interesting point, Lobster, I hadn't thought of that! I don't know if there is any way to do that under qemu?? My video card has an HDMI out ... I wonder ...

Anyway ... I have set up a swap partition for my qemu pi to use, so that may speed up the compiling side of things.

Here's an archive with the ARM leafpad

Unfortunately, my monitor only supports VGA and DVI connections. :?
I will look into the QEMU settings and see if it can emulate a HDMI connection.

Let me know if you get anywhere with this.
In the mean-time, I have compiled a couple more things.

Sure thing, you might want to PM Barry to let him know that you've compiled some apps for Arm, or maybe just create a reply in his blog.

The thing is; he's compiling his apps in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and you're compiling in Arch, so I hope there are no compatability conflicts.

Hi Tman, I've put a link to my ftp index on Barry's blog. I'll also PM him.

Hi Lobster,
I have tried using woof before and got very confused.
The Woof2 system only supports the Mele ARM device at present, so it is not yet applicable to Puppi.

Barry has updated the instructions

http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/wiki ... +with+Woof

This is 01micko's tutorial:

I haven't done much RPi related stuff this week. For one thing, I've had problems with my internet at home (we live in a rural spot and I think we are connected to the web by a bit of wet string :twisted: ).
Also, I haven't managed to get the gtk+ development libraries etc installed in Arch that allow me to compile some more of the GTK based programs. I need to spend a bit more time finding out exactly what I need (Arch doesn't have "dev" packages in the way that other distros do ...).

I have managed to compile Vim - my editor of choice!
I've spent quite a lot of time trying to do some basic assembly code in qemu. So far I've had nothing but errors from "as". At some point I am going to have to post up what happens on the RPi forum and get some help. But I might also try compiling a C program and saving the output assembly code - that might shed some light on what I am doing wrong.

I have been able to order a Pi this week, but I still might have a 3 week wait, apparently. :roll:

Anyway, I am posting a picture of my build of Leafpad running on my qemu -Pi ...

After a lot of false starts, I've had a bit of success with an assembly program. It's just a little "hello world" type thing. But I think I now understand a little better what some of the parts of the code do.
Anyway, I'll post up a couple of pics. :)
I'm really impressed that you can do this in a qemu emulation. It's re-assuring ...

Hi Guys, Fellow Raspberrians,

Tried QtonPi
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
Not my basket case (punnet) of fruitiness but some might find it qt [cute]

I tried combining the boot files from QtonPi to the img file created on Qemu by antiloquax. Need more knowledge and info on this boot procedure. It could be quite fiddly.

This is what I need compiled on Qemu, if anyone is up for it.
http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/

OK gonna put Arch back on my one reliable SD card. Then I can be sure that vala works - antiloquax again - many thanks. :)

Here is an interlude:
What is a variable? In programming we learn the concept early. When dealing with new hardware, a newish changing programming language, one variable is required. A better brain. I am trading mine in for a sieve. :roll:

Another thing to get ready is a case for your pi . . . mine is still cluttering up the TV room.

I'll have a look at gtkdialog.
My RPi has been dispatched! I hope it arrives today.

Don't bite the messenger. The tendency to bite the postman if he does not deliver is overwhelming. OK time to boot up into Rpi but it ain't . . . you will have one soon enough . . .

Do post a pic or record your reaction. I was quite blasé and then I had the wrong power cable and it would not boot . . . but when it worked I went into geek dance mode (not a pretty sight). :)

Good luck. Keep us posted!

Fingers crossed it'll be waiting for me when I get home from work!
I'm quite pleased today because the deputy Principal has told me they want me to teach some GCSE computer studies next year (I am an English teacher by trade). I'm also hoping the Principal will be getting a suite of RPis set up (I had a meeting with him a couple of weeks ago).

Raw JWM running on genuine Raspberry Pi hardware

The procedure:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppiArch

The good news (OK it is a dummy configuration nothing working yet)
is it is FAST. 8)

The next step is to populate it a little with progs and such . . .

Excellent - I hope you'll have the chance to test some of the stuff that's on my ftp site!

No pi today. Maybe tomorrow ...

Here's gtkdialog to try (compiled on Arch ARM).

Latest Puppi Arch pre-alpha pic above
- will try gtkdialog - many thanks . . .

Netsurf is not working very well and JWM is flaky
Do not use anything but a powered hub if possible

Arch is noticeably faster than Debian
I also got LXDE working - seemed OK but I immediately tried JWM
and that has me convinced that Puppi can be fast. Hooray. 8)

Do you know where the jwm config file is kept (if available?)
I should know this . . .

Gtkdialog working . . . Got my Buddhistyap program (see wiki) to run - only had to change one line of code . . .

This is very good for me (and the Buddhas may send me extra nectar points and a free pass to the AI Purelands) :roll:

Good! The thing is, does it render the widgets correctly? This was one of the big showstoppers in my armv7 compile on the Mele A1000, as I reported in my blog:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02809
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02808

If antiloquax's binary works, I will use that!

EDIT: from the picture you have posted, it looks like you have the same problem.
