Re: Squeak on Zaurus 5500SLFrom what I am finding out, the Zaurus 5500SL is a different machine than the one Yoshiki Ohshima's instructions work for.

I did get Squeak running on my Zaurus with Dynapad using the instructions found at:
    http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2930
    and some help from the squeak-dev list

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this version actually has morphic running.  I wasn't expecting that.

Now I will have to learn the gesture interface so that I can bring up halos using a stylus, etc.

Who'da thought you could actually graphically program on a handheld computer.


Thanks,
Doug Mair

  Yoshiki Ohshima has this running. He can tell you more.

    I bought a Zaurus 5500 and am now trying to get Squeak running on it.

    I checked out the DirectFB Zaurus page on the swiki.

    The problem is that I don't know Linux (Unix) at all.  I'm a windows programmer with a strong DOS background.

    I copied the following files into the CF card of the Zaurus:
            squeak, dynapad-r01.image, dynapad-r01.changes

    I then booted into the OS and moved to the correct directory on the Zaurus:
            mnt/cf/Documents/application/octet-stream

    The Linux ls command showed all of the files that I expected.

    When I try the command shown on the page:
            squeak -calibrate -rotate -memory 10m dynapad-r01.image
    I get the following error:
            squeak not found.

    I also tried:
            squeak -calibrate -rotate -memory 10m Squeak.image
    and got the same error.

    I seem to remember (from my college days using Unix) that I have to set up a file as executable before I try to execute it.

    I would appreciate more specific directions about Squeak on Zaurus 5500 or Linux OS commands.


    Thanks,
