trying to run XMAME.SDL on E680...

[leopardus2]

I managed to bring the xmame. SDL and all required libraries on the phone
and to start it under strace.

The app seem to be looking for a lot of files and fonts that are not there,
like "pics/MaximizeButton.jpg"...

Also, the app created a Settings folder and put a qpe.conf inside it
(with only one line "Appearance").

What exactly is QPE, what should be into this qpe.conf???

The app aborts right after "SDL initialized" with illegal instruction"
But it could be it's just missing required fonts...

qpe is the qt palmtop environment, read about it here: http://qpe.sourceforge.net/

if it exits with illegal instruction, then its not compatible

are you 100% sure?
it starts and does a lot of stuff (also draws something on the screen) before quitting. I would rather think it is missing some fonts or whatever...
what do you think?

I believe the app is missing some code (libs?). I tried to get forth (a programming environment) to the phone but had the same "success". Tried it with different versions.

I red also the other threads with opie. I suppose, the most successful way would be to have a toolchain environment as tried one user here in another thread and to cross compile the qt and opie apps for the native Motorola versions.

Opie and the handhelds site have much apps there (I knew since I used my Zaurus in the past) and they should be all runable with this method.

About the missing libs: did anyone try to compile anexecutable with the libs compiled statically (libs compiled into the executable)? This gives a muh larger executable, but this shouldnt matter too much since we all have 1 gb sd's, right?
