For those who are alien to the Development of native SoftWare for our Motorola Z6 Mobiles - here is the Howto. To
be able to start we need to have Linux and Z6 SDK. It should be no Problem to use any Linux Distribution, but the
SDK is 32Bit and wasn't tested on any 64Bit-Distribution, so better use a 32Bit-Linux. Windows-Users can use, for
example, andLinux: >>http://www.andlinux.org/<< My self will examine Ubuntu, Debian and andLinux. Differences with
other Distributions are essentially mounting-Methods to the Program.

The 32Bit-SDK can get taken by a SVN-Client that should be avaible in atmost every Distribution. My self do, for
example, sometimes change something for the Compatibility with ROKR E2. Patches, corrected Variables and Extensions
are Welcome! *cheer* Who make Changes to his SDK can share them with others by uploading them. Who doesn't know what
SVN is should ask Wiki or google for it.

Download and install svn and ncftp:

#> sudo apt-get install subversion ncftp

Download the SDK:

#> svn co https://ezx.darktech.org/svn/trunk/arm-eabi

Upload the SDK:

#> svn up

From this Point i presuppose that you have already installed any Linux Distribution and the Network is ready, 'svn'
and 'ncftp' are installed and the SDK is downloaded and extracted to your Home-Directory.

Now let us examine native Programming the Z6 based on the example Z6SnesX (emulator SNES for Z6).
[url]svn co https://ezx.darktech.org/svn/trunk/projects/Z6SnesX[/code]


Here we go! At first let us examine the Makefile. These Lines are very related to the SDK:

TOOLPREFIX:    =    /home/abram/z6/arm-eabi
#TOOLPREFIX:=    /arm-eabi
#Remember to set TOOLPREFIX to your own specific Path!
QTDIR        :=    $(TOOLPREFIX)/lib/qt-2.3.8
EZXDIR        :=    $(TOOLPREFIX)/lib/ezx-z6
UPLOAD_PATH :=    /mmc/mmca1/bin/
CC        =    $(TOOLPREFIX)/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
CXX        =    $(TOOLPREFIX)/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-g++
LD        =    $(TOOLPREFIX)/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-g++
CFLAGS    = -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -DNO_DEBUG $(INCPATH)
CXXFLAGS    = -pipe -DQWS -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -Wall -W -O2 -DNO_DEBUG $(INCPATH)
INCPATH    = -I$(QTDIR)/include -I$(EZXDIR)/include -I $(TOOLPREFIX)/arm-linux-gnueabi/include
LDFLAGS    = -s
LINK        =    $(TOOLPREFIX)/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
LFLAGS    =    
LIBS        =    $(SUBLIBS) -L$(TOOLPREFIX)/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib -L$(QTDIR)/lib -L$(EZXDIR)/lib -lm -lqte-mt -lezxpm -ljpeg -lezxappbase -lezxtapi-xscale-r -llog_util -llighting
MOC        =    $(QTDIR)/bin/moc
UIC        =    $(QTDIR)/bin/uic

TAR        =    tar -cf
GZIP        =    gzip -9f            =    gzip -9f

…let us pass…

install: i (TARGETS)
    ncftpput - u of root - p "" 192.168.16.2 i (UPLOAD_PATH) i (TARGETS)

For the Compilation it's only necessary to edit the Variable TOOLPREFIX. Replace the Path of TOOLPREFIX (SDK) to
your own Installation matching Value!


Let us examine in greater detail the Makefile-Rule install. It copies everything needed to the Mobile through FTP and
it depends on the Purposes of Compilation. If we call 'make install', if necessarily this Call will compile the whole
Program and will get installed on the Mobile in UPLOAD_PATH. For that you will need the Utility of 'ncftpput'. The
Installation is aided by your Distribution's Package-Manager.


Starting the Program
--------------------
We have to connect to the Mobile by telnet, establish the necessary Environments, change into the
Upload-Folder, here /mmc/mmca1/bin/, and start the Programm.

Prepare the Environment:

 #> /etc/initservices/services/ezxenv.sh

Start the Emulator:

#> ./Z6SnesX

Thus we start and - voila! - we should see on the Mobile's Screen our Program - Successes!


Errors and Bugs
---------------
.. or we don't! May be we are seeing instead a Segmentation-Fault - nothing unusually to those who write Programs.


Other MotoMagx-Mobiles
----------------------
At Moment i don't know for V8 and others MotoMagx-Mobiles. There should atmost all the same as with Z6.
Any Feedback about programming these Mobiles are Welcome, too!
