Gentoo for Zaurus
This is the homepage of the Gentoo For Zaurus project. It is based on Cacko X11 Rom and The Emerde Project.
We are talking about this project on the Zaurus User Group web page, on this forum.
Features
- Gentoo environment: It can "emerge sync", "emerge package", "emerge -B package", etcat, ...
- Native compiler: Includes a native gcc environment for ARM based on the one from Cacko's site.
- Cross compiler with distcc: Includes the zgcc-3.3.1 cross compiler for the main PC with distcc configured so the main PC is who does the actual compiling.
- Complete linux system: You can install the applictions compiled over the environment before installing over the real system. Includes X11 so you can test applications on this environment instead of the real system.
- Native ipkg format: You can install ipkg packages over the test system.
- Conversion from Gentoo binaries to IPK binaries: We have developed a tool (tbz2ipk) to convert from Gentoo Packages (.tbz2) to Zaurus Packages (.ipk), so packages compiled on Gentoo can be used on other environments (such as Qtopia or OpenZaurus).
