Creating own native qte apps

[leopardus2]

what about a simple app like VI to edit files on the phone without haveing to telnet in.

I just mount the System folder on my host and use vi there

First of all, as it's my first post here, many, many thanks to leprechaun and the others on this site who gave me everything I needed to get started into this cross-compiling hobby.

what about a simple app like VI to edit files on the phone without haveing to telnet in.

After successfully producing my first "hello world" console program for my A780 yesterday, I gave cross-compiling ersatz emacs a try... However it requires libtermcap, which is not present on the phone. I quickly tried to cross-compile this lib, but I didn't succeed (I'm not sure where I got the sources from, maybe they're outdated, cause I kept having compilation errors on <strings.h> odd).

Anyway leopardus2 (aka Rick) is right, a text editor isn't really necessary since you can mount the whole system via samba.

So I give up on that "ersatz emacs" for now, and I'm going to try to get a graphical (qt) "hello world" running.

Unfortunately, just like leprechaun I don't have a lt of free time for these king of things these days.

Why don't you try to port XMAME-SDL?
Would be nice to have it on our little device...

lol youre kinda obsessed with xmame arent you? I agree though, would be nice, but i dont think the e680 is fast enough. For a reasonable speed you need a processor thats about 10x as fast as in the device you're trying to emulate.

Any hints or pointers so I can have a quick look?

And why are you sometimes "Rick" and sometimes "Leo". This is confusing! :P

[maxx_730]

Yeah it is. Maybe leo is his second name? Usually he says his name is rick.

I used to play MAMECE on my old XDA phone which had a slower processor and a lame operating system....
So I am sure it will run just fine on our phone. It does on the Zaurus....

xmame source can be gotten on http://x.mame.net, you also would need the SDL library, http://www.libsdl.org.

I do have many (nick)names.
Just look at the member name and you will never be confused again

Has this effort died?
