GUI Apps now possible on A1200

I have translated into English base on Chinese content and put it in bottom part in same post in CCMOVE. I will update Chinese & English together.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
yan0, you are the one.
I have downloaded your files and compiled the example successfully with a litle change.

Hi dedraks,you are the most wonderful developer here.
Loved your unzipper and mynotes applications.
hope to see some more useful applications from you now.


just a hint,
maybe you can give us sheet(excel) and word applications.
a flat file database app.
an app which will show the audio spectrum and dB level using the mic input

Regarding cross compiling, it seems not to be a problem. The same cross compiling tools are available for both A780 and A1200.

Regarding the library, it is not a problem also, since we can alwasy copy the library files from our phones.

I can successfully compile and run command line (stdio only) program (hello world) by using public available tools and follow public available instructions. Both of them have been around for months if not years, and they are documented in English.

The problem, in my opinion, is about header files and understanding those functions. There are active A1200 developers in China, such as yan0 and bint. So, I wonder, if yan0 or bint can contribute their experience rather than re-packaging public available tools.

I am trying to make a very easy-to-follow guide on setting up cross compiling environment, in both English and Chinese. This will be done in a week.

For me this cross-compile package was very useful, as it is nice and self-contained. It also contains the ezx header files, which are the key ingredient!

The sample program compiled and ran, and for the first time I managed to popup a GUI element on the A1200! Very nice!

But the program popups up a ZMessageBox only.

Did anyone manage to open a mainwindow for an application, maybe with buttons or menus?
Did anyone manage to get ZMainWidget going? The few examples that I tried always give me segmentation fault.

For example, taken from: http://lists.openezx.org/pipermail/o...st/000744.html

#include <ZApplication>
#include <ZMainWidget>
#include <ZPushButton>

int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  ZApplication *app = new ZApplication(argc, argv);
  ZMainWidget *wp = new ZMainWidget(NULL, "hi", 1);
  ZPushButton *pb = new ZPushButton("hi", NULL, 50, 50, 0);
  pb->resize(100, 100);
  
  QObject::connect(pb, SIGNAL(clicked()), qApp, SLOT(slotQuickQuit()));
  
  app->showMainWidget(wp);
  app->showMainWidget(pb);

  return app->exec();
}

This returns immediately with a segmentation fault.
Did anyone get further? How? The recently released eKonsole for A1200 goes further - how was it done?

thanks!

Yes, cross compiling works. But I haven't compiled any "big" program yet.
I have a step-by-step installation guide on setting up the compiling environment here : http://zmhu.blogspot.com/2007/04/int...lt-to-set.html

tks, i will try later some stuff with that
