/mnt/us/ is where you are when you plug in your Kindle and open it as a USB drive. Plug in your Kindle, open it, create your bin folder. It will be at the same directory level as extensions: Code:
/bin/ /extensions/frotz/bin/ /if/Planetfa.z3 |

This may seem entirely off topic, but is it possibe to get a C file to run on K5?
And i so, how? Last edited by icantbebothered; 03-16-2013 at 12:03 PM. Reason: added some stuff |

Greetings all,
I am currently trying to install this on my PW and I am having no luck. I can launch "Start Frotz" from Kual, and then I got a pop up to select which game I want to play. But after I select the game it just closes. The pop up disappears and nothing happens. Any advice? Don't know if it makes a difference but I am on 5.3.4! Thanks |

Ill test it on the PW tomorrow then
Haven't tried it on there yet. Hmm.. Will dig. EDIT: Hmm I just tested it. Sounds like it can't find the frotz binary by the crash you describe. Where did you put it? Last edited by twobob; 04-09-2013 at 12:44 AM. |

Hey,
I put it in the folder /mnt/us/bin. It's also got the dialog and .dialogrc files in there. I just tried it again and once a message popped up saying Story File Read Error or something like that but it flashed to quickly for me to copy it down. |

okay... I'll go read the docs again.
I got mine working last night with a little fiddling. Looking again this morning I managed to break it again lol. (But that's with the new KUAL testing - not frotz) Let me go look what I did. |

okay this is what I have
/media/Kindle/extensions/frotz/menu.json Code:
{"items": [{ "name": "Frotz", "priority": 1, "items": [ {"name": "Start Frotz", "priority": 1, "action": "bin/start_frotz_shell.sh"} ]}]} Which calls /media/Kindle/extensions/frotz/bin/start_frotz_shell.sh PHP Code:
so that RELIES on the binaries being somewhere "findable" in the $PATH and then... calls kterm, which in turns calls frotz/bin/frotz_shell.sh... Let's have a look in there... PHP Code:
And that's the ballgame. EDIT: You will NEED some "IF" files. Details here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=23 Last edited by twobob; 04-10-2013 at 08:59 AM. Reason: shiny colour! |
