This app is designed to make your +budgeting fast, inuitive and easy. + +This file lists all the important files in the qashmoney CVS directory and how +to make the IPK file that goes on the Zaurus. When you checkout the +qashmoney module from CVS, it will create a directory on your hard drive called +qashmoney. These instructions assume you are in the directory. + +The first thing you need to do is have all the necessary cross-compile software +and Qtopia installed on your system. I assume you have already done this since +you are downloading CVS, but if not, go to: + +http://docs.zaurus.com + +and download the RPMS that you need for development. + +You also must have sqlite installed on your system to successfully compile +QashMoney. Go to: + +http://www.sqlite.org + +to download this progam. The SQLite library has already been compiled for the +IPK and is in the 'install' directory. So there is no need to compile SQLite +for ARM but you can if you want. There are instructions for that on the +website. + +After that, set the correct environment variables for the package you +are developing.Two scripts in the qashmoney are used for that purpose: x86.sh +andarm.shIf you are buidling for x86 type: + +source x86.sh + +and press enter. To make binaries that run on the Zaurus, type: + +source arm.sh + +Next, construct the makefile by typing: + +tmake -o Makefile qashmoney.pro + +tmake is Trolltech's program for constructing a typical GNU Makefile from the +project file (qashmoney.pro for this application). If you get an "error: tmake +command not found", you either don't have all the correct RPMS installed or your +environment variables are not correctly set. If all is well type: + +make + +and the program should be constructed and you will be left with a qashmoney +binary in this directory. If you compiled for x86, you can see the application +by using the Qt Virtual Frame Buffer which emulates the Qtopia environment on +your computer. First, copy all the files from the databasefiles directory within the +qashmoney directory. Otherwise, the program will not function. + +To run QashMoney in the Qtopia Virtual Frame Buffer, type: + +qvfb & +./qashmoney -qws + +and QashMoney should appear in the frambuffer. You can use and test qashmoney +here as you would on the Zaurus. + +If you compile the binary file for the Zaurus, another script in this directory +will come in handy. To automagically make the IPK file, type: + +su +./make_ipk + +You need to be the root user to set the ownership of the binary and other +files correctly. The IPK file will appear in the qashmoney directory. Now put +this file onto the Zaurus and install! + +Two other scripts in the directory may be of use. The make_x86 script cleans +the directory and makes the x86 qashmoney binary automatically. The make_arm +scripts makes the ARM binary. So you should really only have to type three +commands the make the IPK file: + +./make_arm +su +./make_ipk + +I hope the program can be useful. If you have any questions or comments, please +contact me at qashmoneyman@attbi.com + +Thanks! + +Allen + +Disclaimer: Altough I've tried to make this application tight and well +functioning, it comes with absolutely no warranty and I will not be liable for +any damage it may cause. |
