OpenEmbedded is a build system allowing cross compiling build system for embedded targets. One of the first goal is to port OpenZaurus on the new build system (see status.
OpenZaurus 3.5.1-pre1 builds fine in OE since several weeks. Big showstoppers have been fixed during last weeks. I 'm running OpenZaurus 3.5.1-pre1 (cvsdate 20040818, gcc 3.4, opie-image, no uclibc) on my Collie (SL5500d) and it runs just fine. The performance is much better than previous versions (gcc 3.4?), all performance tests in system info except CF card test shows better results.
I use opie as I think it is still much more polished than GPE, but I agree that GPE is the better platform if you want easily port applications onto Zaurus. For now I will use opie during next weeks (I used to flash my Zaurus 10 times a weeks, now I need it again for productive work). but I will give GPE a try soon again.
I've moved my home and opt directory to SD card which gives me a 128MB for applications. So far, all applications I've build and installed (patience, important for my girl friend, libpcap, tictac, qpegps) run without problems from SD card.
Thanks to all people (mainly kergoth, mickeyl, zecke, ljp, pb, treke..) who work on this great build environment and opie.
