I want to develop on linux for linux !

[kundancool]

I am trying to develop applications for linux on linux (ubuntu as i use it)

I would at least ask peoples to explain what sdk to download and a little more precise question, like : how to have ubuntu ready to develop ezx softs...
Easy steps you know you will have to do, like wich scripts are you using at bootup to setup the environemnt...


Please help me regarding this .

I am trying to develop applications for linux on linux (ubuntu as i use it)

In the firmware development section?

I would at least ask peoples to explain what sdk to download

I would say a sdk for A1200 or E6 with some modifications. But it is hard to say which one. It depends if
you wonna go a legal way by using a reverse engineered sdk or a half stolen sdk with adaption. It is like personal attitude.
Also it depends on what you wonna do. If you want develop some applications you can start with every sdk. All will give you nice functions to develop applications. But when you want to improve some applications it would be easier to stick to the developers used sdk. Furthermore it depends on the libraries on your phone/firmware version maybe you need to reverse engineer some libraries
to fine tune your sdk.
In principle there is no standard sdk several people was working on different sdk's. There are different headers from:
samr7 foxe6 (ruthfox) blackhawk donga eakrin and others (forgot somebody sorry)

and a little more precise question, like : how to have ubuntu ready to develop ezx softs...

That is a realy global question. I think you not even started trying to make an enviroment for developing.
I think it is realy important to start to try there are some informations around, it is also good to read some
package documentation from released toolchains. To find solutions is the daily business of a programmer.
With some linux and compile knowledge it is not so hard to do it.

First you need a crosstool or a toolchain to build one. (samr7, kegel, mkezx, openembedded)
Second you need a sdk for your phone model now it doesn't matter which one.
Third you need the libraries from your phone.
Fourth you need to setup the enviroment for sdk/crosstool depends on where you installed everything.
Fith you need a hello world program to check if the enviroment is setup right.

Zero you need to start (include reading and trying) and then asking precise when you are stuck.
There are different ways and possibilities to reach the goal.

Easy steps you know you will have to do, like wich scripts are you using at bootup to setup the environemnt

I think it isn't a good idea to setup the enviroment at bootup. It could be that you want compile something for the host.
And if you have set advanced parameter in your enviroment script there could be different for other libraries or programs you want to compile.

In the end now I have talked to much so here is one example how to do it. The everything in one thread solution.
This is the fastest and easiest way with a precompiled crosstool and not so much knowledge is needed.
Keep in mind many people did a lot of work for each part that it makes so simple for you.

It is realy funny first there was a sdk for linux but no step by step tutorial.
Then eakrin made a realy good one for cygwin and then principle and structure was ported back to Linux.

So here Lubomyr's howto from motofanru:

1. package you will need

make
automake
autoconf
patch

2. Libraries from phone

 cd /usr/lib
tar zcvf /mmc/mmca1/a1200-lib.tar.gz *

3. The crosstool from MKEZX toolchain (Jeremy)

4. The sdk here it is from Blackhawk

5. games enviroment from Eug for easy sdl coding

6. Extract on Linux

It is done as su. (I would do it different but I will keep it simple.)

mkdir /opt/a1200
mkdir /opt/sdk
cd /
tar -C /opt -xzvf /a1200-crosstool.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzvf /games-env-linux.tar.gz
tar -C /opt/a1200 -xzvf /a1200-lib.tar.gz
tar -C /opt/sdk -xzvf /a1200-e2-e680i-SDK.tar.gz
cp -a /opt/sdk/a1200/* /opt/a1200

7. Set enviroment

source /usr/local/setenv-a1200.sh

8. Compiling (Eakrin)

http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/a...s-helloezx.zip

Goto /home/user

extract helloworld and change folder

this helloezx project contain 3 files. main.cpp, helloezx.h, and helloezx.cpp. first create a project file for helloezx by

progen -o helloezx.pro

create makefile for complier by command

tmake helloezx.pro -o Makefile

create helloezx 's binary file by

make

make the binary "smaller" (only after debug is done)

arm-linux-strip helloezx

testing your first app by copy helloezx file into your mmc and execute this commands via telnet.

. /home/native/.profile <-- this command start with dot and space too.
/mmc/mmca1/HelloEZX

oh, yeah!!! this is cool, Halftux >> thanks! And you should place it on setius.net's firmware sub-forum too! Hehe !
Well i place that on development section ( and probably i would make STICKY! so be carefull now, Kudankool...!!! now you have to ask smart hacker's questions as you will be one in a few hours probably )

[swifty]

Full ACK!

[Halftux]

oh, yeah!!! this is cool, Halftux >> thanks!

You are welcome.

And you should place it on setius.net's firmware sub-forum too! Hehe !

Yeah good idea for such a hot topic it is worth to make a new sub-forum.

now you have to ask smart hacker's questions as you will be one in a few hours probably )

When I started it took some weeks to get my environment running with everything qmake and tmake...(not working every day on it)
At this time it was twelve years ago that I coded something in pascal or c. And now I needed to learn c again and QT. I am horrible in programming but it works sometimes.

@swifty
sometimes I am nerved but I have a big interest that more people programming or porting apps...

@kundancool
take it easy and start coding

[kundancool]

A very big
THANKS!
to all of you HALFTUX for this great explaination this will really help me alot and SABROD thank you for this great IDEA !
few things i want is
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
this is really a big file 81 MB and not resumable you if you please upload to oron.com i would be thankful to you.
and this one too
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
as i can't download from rapidshare or megaupload some problem with my ISP

Question
I have "samr7-ezx-crosstool-foxe6-sdk-20080304" will this work for me.

THANK YOU MOTOROLAFANS !

[sabrod]

Hum the ideas come from Halftux and sam revitch... The rest is what i did: telling you i was lost in any cygwin environment, so that you would have better chances to ask in our forum...
Fortunately you were curious and we 'converted' you to linux and well, this is GOOD!!

[Halftux]

@kundancool

samr7-ezx-crosstool-foxe6-sdk-20080304

This one is crosstool + sdk and it is compiled under cygwin so I would not recommend to use it with real linux. It could work but I dont know. Also when you want to use it then you can not use this tutorial here. If you like you can use the foxe's header files but header files from blackhawk are more compatible to different a1200 versions.
So I will upload all needed packages to oron.

I could also create a tutorial with samr7 crosstool.

@halftux

thank you
waiting for the links and i am surely going to learn it deeply
