1. How to use the Opie build system

====================================

For more complete instructions on getting started, please see:

  http://opie.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BuildOpie

There's also a tutorial document at:

  http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html

The API reference currently is at:

  http://opie.sourceforge.net/apidocs/

You will need qvfb, uic and (if you want to develop applications) designer

compiled and linked against Qt/X11. That means you must download and 

configure/make it:

  wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz

Alternatively, you can get static binaries from here: 

  http://www.bluelightning.org/files/opie/qt2-dev-tools-bin.tar.gz

You will need Qt/Embedded 2.3.10. Note that we don't support any

other Qt/Embedded version anymore. Qt/Embedded 2.3.12 is not recommended atm.

You can get it from:

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-embedded-2.3.10-free.tar.gz

Set QTDIR to point to your qt/embedded source tree, such as:

export QTDIR=/opt/qt-2.3.10

You need to do set the OPIEDIR environment variable:

export OPIEDIR=`pwd`

or

export OPIEDIR=~/projects/sources/opie

or wherever you placed the Opie sources.

You need to adjust your runtime library search path,

so that the Qt/Embedded and Opie libraries can be found:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OPIEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You have to apply the patches corresponding to your Qt/Embedded version

and copy the qconfig-qpe.h file to $QTDIR/src/tools:

cd $QTDIR; cat $OPIEDIR/qt/qt-<version>.patch/qte<version>-all.patch | patch -p1

cp $OPIEDIR/qt/qconfig-qpe.h $QTDIR/src/tools

You are now ready to configure and build Qt/Embedded

cd $QTDIR

echo 'yes' | ./configure -qconfig qpe -depths 4,16,24,32 -system-jpeg -system-libpng -system-zlib -no-xkb -no-sm -no-xft -qvfb

make

Note that the above command ( -qvfb ) compiles in the Virtual 

Framebuffer and is mostly meant for development on your host system.

For cross compiling, you will need to use the -xplatform switch.

See ./configure --help for details about the possible options.

Once you have these compiled, be sure to set the PATH to ensure your 

(cross)-compiler is available.

Then do the following in the opie source tree:

make clean

make menuconfig

Now you can move through the menu and select or deselect anything..

Exit and save the configuration and enter "make" to build everything selected.

Have fun!

2. Required Libraries

=====================

For a successful Opie build, you need to install the following libraries and

headers:

* libsdl >= 1.2.0

  http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

* libxine >= 1.0 && <= 1.1

  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xine/

* libpcap >= 0.7.2

  http://www.tcpdump.org/release/

* libetpan >= 0.34

  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libetpan/

* libsqlite >= 3.0.0

  http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

* One of:

  * libipk >= 138

    ftp://handhelds.org/linux/packages/ipkg (currently unavailable)

  * libopkg 0.1.8 with C++ patch applied (or 0.1.9 when it is released)

    http://code.google.com/p/opkg/

* libobexftp >= 0.19

  http://triq.net/obexftp.html

* libsword >= 1.5.8

  http://www.crossfire.org/sword

3. Required Programs

====================

For a successful usage of Opie, you should install the following programs:

* obexftp

* obexftpd

4. Supported Devices

====================

Note that device support is not limited to these devices - if the Linux 2.6 

kernel works on your device it can probably be supported with only minor

changes.
