Do not know enough to advise about compiling.
Good news is rxvt and clock working fine on Rpi (genuine raspberry powered hardware)
Yes will be great when you have a board.

That's excellent Lobster!
Now I feel I can go ahead and compile some more things.

Antiloquax,
I compiled Qemu over the weekend, but my internet was down since Monday and I haven't tested it with any images yet. I am downloading your Puppi image now.
Qemu is brand new territory for me. I would like to know the command parameters I would need to run your Puppi in qemu. Thanks in advance.
qemu-system-arm ??? ( I don't know the rest )

Here's my qemu command:
| Code: | qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu arm1176 -m 192 -hda <path to the file-system image> -kernel /mnt/home/RPi/zImage -append "root=/dev/sda" -serial stdio -redir tcp:2222::22
|
The zImage I use is here.
One other thing that may be of use is a virtual usb drive (please excuse me if you already know this!)
I make a partition whatever size I want (usually 512Mb) and put any files I want to access within qemu onto it. Then I dd it to an img file and add this to my start-up script:
| Code: | | -hdb <path to usb.img> |
You can then mount this as a drive and read /write to it. There may be an easier way to do this, but that's how I have been doing it.

Whilst I have been playing
http://lobster.thenewhive.com/puppi
and pretending to change the world . . .
. . . Mark has created an Ubuntu1 shared account for Rpi compiled programs. If anyone needs access or can provide more open storage let either of us know.
I am gonna have another go at testing Barry's compiled programs
because I have discovered the weakest link in the testing procedure [paws down please - yes it is me ]
Have you ordered your Pi yet?
Rpi is silent. solid state and inexpensive.
and . . .and . . . fun . . . just like Puppy . . .

Here are links for tar.gz archives for rxvt and rubix (hosted on Ubuntu One - you're welcome to share the folder as Lobster mentioned above, just let me have your email).
rxvtARMv6
rubixARMv6
I've had a go at compiling some other things (I think bcrypt is okay, but I haven't checked it fully yet). I have had problems with ROX - to do with some dependencies that I have not yet got installed.
Does anyone know if there's a suggested "sequence" in which to build packages. I'd rather not rely on much more from the Arch repo than I already have. I'm going to have another look at Barry's site and see if it makes more sense.

You seem to be compiling properly. I use src2pkg for more simple apps. I believe Amigo has a non-puppy src2pkg version as well.
For apps that don't work with src2pkg, I use the traditional:
./configure --help ( sift through the options and figure out what you need to add )
./configure [add your options]
make -jX
( where "X" represents the number of cpu cores you have, eg dual-core would be make -j2 )
make install DESTDIR=/pathname/of/your/choice
Create your own .desktop entry for the app, if it doesn't come with one
Then, trim the folders of whatever is not needed
Next, strip and/or upx if you want to make the binaries smaller
Also, Iguleder's "splitpkg" tool can split the folder into separate categories for DEV, DOC and NLS pets. I've read that new2dir has a similiar option.
Thanks for the parameters for qemu. I don't have much free time for it today, but will be sure to try it out sometime on the weekend.

Thanks for the compiling tips, Tman.

Are there generic options for ARM that I should look out for?
If compiling is considered a useful penguin skill
I come bottom of the class
Barry has provided user notes in the comments section here
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02805
no rhyme or reason every instance seems different?

Okay, I am trying to host these files on my website instead.
ftp PupPi files
account name: a3804781
password: puppi1
So far, it's just the rubix tar.gz that's there.
Edit
Adding rxvt, gfrename, bcrypt, xorg-server and puppi.tar.gz (the image of the Arch File system I've made look a bit like Puppy!)
By the way, I did a pacman -Syyu on the arch OS yesterday and lots of updates came through. I think Arch are about to release a new version ...
I am going to add a little text file here which shows the steps I take to get to a basic graphical environment from the arch image (using xorg-twm).

Here are generic .configure options for Puppy ( it varies, according to the Linux distro ):
| Code: |
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/MyPackage
|
The above should work for a lot of apps, as long as you have all of the needed dependencies for it installed. But adding or removing certain options can make the package less bloated, maybe more responsive, and sometimes results in less dependencies needed for the package to run.

Antiloquax, I tried your puppi.img in qemu and managed to login as root.
However, I can seem to get X running at the moment. And how did you get a window that says "Qemu" in the titlebar? This is just a quick report; I will try some more tommorrow...signing off after this message. When I run "startx", I get the following error messages:

Hi Tman,
I don't think the JWM warning is the problem here. I get that as well, I must have made some mistake in my .jwmrc, but it doesn't ususally stop X from starting.
I'll get back to you when I've seen if I can sort this out.

As for the "qemu" title bar. That's just how it has always looked since I installed it!

Hi Tman. I have just downloaded the puppi.tar.gz and unpacked it.
The md5sum was okay:
| Code: | | 66a141b3cb1f1c5b51007b6ae677c789 puppi.img |
I am using this zImage.
When I boot it up and login, X starts automatically.
I'm not sure why it didn't work for you. Let me know if you have any more information, or if you do get it going!
