1QashMoney - Budget Software for the Sharp Zaurus
2
3README
4
5This file lists all the important files in the qashmoney CVS directory and how
6to make the IPK file that goes on the Zaurus. When you checkout the
7qashmoney-source module from CVS, it will create a directory on your hard drive called
8qashmoney-source. These instructions assume you are in this directory.
9
10The first thing you need to do is have all the necessary cross-compile software
11and Qtopia installed on your system. I assume you have already done this since
12you are downloading CVS, but if not, go to:
13
14http://docs.zaurus.com
15
16and download the RPMS that you need for development.
17
18You also must have sqlite installed on your system to successfully compile
19QashMoney. Go to:
20
21http://www.sqlite.org
22
23to download this progam.
24
25After that, set the correct environment variables for the package you
26are developing. Two scripts in the qashmoney-source directory are used for that purpose: x86.sh
27and arm.sh. If you are building for x86 type:
28
29source x86.sh
30
31and press enter. To make binaries that run on the Zaurus, type:
32
33source arm.sh
34
35Next, construct the makefile by typing:
36
37tmake -o Makefile qashmoney.pro
38
39tmake is Trolltech's program for constructing a typical GNU Makefile from the
40project file (qashmoney.pro for this application). If you get an "error: tmake
41command not found", you either don't have all the correct RPMS installed or your
42environment variables are not correctly set. If all is well type:
43
44make
45
46and the program should be constructed and you will be left with a qashmoney
47binary in this directory. If you compiled for x86, you can see the application
48by using the Qt Virtual Frame Buffer which emulates the Qtopia environment on
49your computer. First, copy all the files from the databasefiles directory within the
50qashmoney directory. Otherwise, the program will not function.
51
52To run QashMoney in the Qtopia Virtual Frame Buffer, type:
53
54qvfb &
55./qashmoney -qws
56
57and QashMoney should appear in the frambuffer. You can use and test qashmoney
58here as you would on the Zaurus.
59
60If you want to compile the app and make the IPK file, check out the qashmoney-build module and see the README file in that module.
61
62I hope the program can be useful. If you have any questions or comments, please
63contact me at qashmoneyman@attbi.com

65Thanks!
