Without them, I wouldn't be able to provide the port for OPIE to MacOS-X that fast.. Thanks to Juergen Graf to debug this very generic README ! Status: ------- The basic system works quite well. But a lot of applications and plugins, which are platform specific, need some work to be compileable. What is ready: libqpe libopie1 libopie2/opiedb pim-applications (addressbook, todolist, datebook, today) A lot of applications and plugins which are not platform specific. What will follow soon: -libopie2 +libopie2 (libopiecore and libopiedb works already !) + +ToDO: +----- +There are some functions in the sourcecode which are not yet ported to Mac. If the +MacOS environment should be used for real productive work, the following functions +must be implemented correctly: + +libopie/pim/otimezone.cpp: +Accessing of "setenv(...)" on Mac caused bus-errors. +Workaround/Fix: Unknown +Current-State: setenv() was just commented out. Thus the related functions may behave wrong! + +library/filemanager.cpp: +The sendfile() function is not available in MacOSX. Therefore a workaround must be implemented. +Workaround/Fix: Unknown. The function is available in the header files, but disabled by a +"#ifdef SENDFILE" .. and not implemented int the c-library. +If it will be supported, it should activate itself automatically by the "#ifdef".. How to compile Opie for MacOS-X: ------------------------------- Before compiling for MacOS-X, you need the following: 1. X11-Server+X11SDK (Provided by Apple) 2. QT-2.3.2 for X11 (Provided by Trolltech) 3. QT/E-2.3.7 (Provided by Trolltech) 4. Patches for QT-2.3.2 for MacOSX (take the one in this directory !) 5. Patches for QT/E-2.3.7 for MacOSX (take the one, provided in $OPIEDIR/qt) The Patch for QT-2.3.2 is provided in this directory and is called "qt232-X11.patch". The Patch for QT/E for Opie, including all other opie-patches is available in the qt-directory ($OPIEDIR/qt) and is called "qte237-all-macosx.patch". Please read further, how to compile the stuff. HOWTO COMPILE: ------------- Compile QT-2.3.2: |
