GUAKE - Can we port and install?

[kingoddball]

This is my favourite terminal emulator for Linux. To bring it up, press F12. Click off the screen to remove. Is there anyway for anyone to port this? I'd love to have this installed in my OS as a permanent fixture. https://github.com/bearnik/terminology-guake

It would make a great permanent fixture to SZ 1.5x... Fn+F12 for a terminal anywhere!!

Or.... Teach a man to fish....


How do I compile from source on Pandora?


In the download page, they have *.tar.gz with source. But I don't think OP has required tools?

Big download, but generally has all the important stuff..

There is also the older C dev tools..

Wow! CRAZY BIG!


THANKS!!


Can you tell me a rough way to use it?


Download the source / open in this über big program.


Build -


How do I install etc etc?


Sorry.

You should refer to the article on Pandoralive on how to build the Dillo Web Browser :

TTTHHAAANNK YOU!

Will see how I go, and hopefully I can get Guake running - Id like an anywhere and everywhere terminal!

This being said I took a look at guake in the past and I think the compilation was not straightforward. But please try it

Yeah, I don't think they have much time to support you. But there are many other people on the boards who do. Ask questions in the development boards if you have any.

Damn.... Missing Python-VTE library..

I can't find, or build from source. Errors out.

Are there anymore Pandora Porting Tutorials around?

It's called Quake, not Guake and it's a first person shooter .

 

[kingoddball]

Hmmm....


Missing another lib/dependency. Seems like too much work on a small device with no repo.


I'm going to look at how to use a cross compiler on my Linux box...


Ill be back!

If you can't even compile on the Pandora, I don't advise going to the compiler route

Take one step at a time. Find out what's going wrong with the compilation and go to next step. It's not that hard.

Well, cross-compile is nice, but you will stiil need to compile all dependancies yourself, because the "repo" on you linux distribution will be for x86, not for for Arm.

Maybe I bit off more than I could chew... I think I have to give up (for awhile).

Followed these:

http://pandorawiki.org/Setting_up_a_cross-compiler

http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=109 

Tried all different combos and setup's... Keeps failing.

Had similar probs with the old N900.

But I was able to get a kernel to compile for Pandaboard (Dualcore A9).

and my outcome was (terminal): 

Jason-i7-VM Code # arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc DisplayImage.c -o DisplayImage -l SDL

bash: /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc: No such file or directory

You give up way too fast
