I'm working on documenting the process of getting a Plazes launcher application working on my Linux-based Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 PDA. These instructions need some work, but they should get you started.
Useful Tool
- Things can go a lot easier on your hands if you install OpenSSH first, and then SSH into your Zaurus from a PC.
Target Hardware
cURL
Assuming you have an OpenSSH server running on your Zaurus:
- Download zlib
-
scp zlib1_1.1.4_arm.ipk [zaurususer]@[zaurushost]:/home/zaurus/Documents
- Install the package using the Zaurus Add/Remove Software application.
- Download cURL to your local PC.
-
gunzip curl-7.10.8-arm.tar.gz
-
scp usr/bin/curl [zaurususer]@[zaurushost]:/usr/bin
-
scp usr/lib/* [zaurususer]@[zaurushost]:/usr/lib
OpenSSL
- Download OpenSSL
-
scp openssl_0.9.7c_arm.ipk [zaurususer]@[zaurushost]:/home/zaurus/Documents
- Install the package using the Zaurus Add/Remove Software application.
Settings for BashLauncher
Grab the BashLauncher shell script (wget can be useful here), and edit the defaults as follows:
- Set
OS="linux"
- Set
OPENSSL="/home/QtPalmtop/bin/openssl"
- Set
CUT="/usr/bin/cut"
Then upload the configured BashLauncher.sh to /home/zaurus
on your Zaurus, SSH to the Zaurus, and make the script executable:
chmod +x BashLauncher.sh
and run:
./BashLauncher.sh
