Howto sync to the Zaurus from Linux
This is a quick explanation on how to sync the Zaurus from Linux using
TrollTech's Qtopia Desktop software. It assumes that you already have network connectivity with the Zaurus through usb, 802.11, serial or other means.
1) Download Qtopia Desktop from either the local mirror or from TrollTech. (Newer versions will be on TrollTech's website.)
2) Untar and unzip the tarball in a location that you with to install Qtopia Desktop.
The tar.gz will create a subdirectory "qtopiadesktop-personal-use-1.5".
3)This new directory contains, among other things, the "qtopiadesktop"
executable, as well as some shared libraries. In your .bash_profile, set
the appropriate environment variables to refer to both the executable and
the shared libraries. For example if you had unpacked that tar.gz into your home directory you would set up the following variables in your .bash_profile (or preferred shell variable file):
export PALMTOPCENTERDIR=$HOME/qtopiadesktop-personal-use-1.5
PATH=$PATH:$PALMTOPCENTERDIR
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PALMTOPCENTERDIR
Log out and back in. You should then be able to run qtopiadesktop.
Running Qtopia Desktop with KDE3 or Gnome
In the directory where Qtopia Desktop was installed create several links:
ln -s librsync.so.1.0.0 librsync.so.1
ln -s libpalmtopcenter.so.1.0.0 libpalmtopcenter.so.1
ln -s libqt.so.3.0.3 libqt.so.3
In the directory where Qtopia Desktop was installed create a small shell script with the following text:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
./qtopiadesktop
be sure to chmod 775 scriptnamehere
You should be able to run qtopiadesktop now by simply executing the script from a console.
