iLiad CellWriter as an alternative to VisionObjects recognition?

[hansel]

@Ericshliao,
Do yo mean that your gcc is an arm executable (not a cross compiler)? I tried that once, but could not find a complete set of sources for the 'soft float' version...

I switched back to compiling everything with the Irex sdk. Most things go fine, but even if I tell configure to use arm-linux-gcc (with --host=arm-linux --build=i686, and setting paths), it still gets mixed up sometimes (it starts looking in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/arm-linux/oe...)

@all:
It would be great to have a stable and well defined reference platform for building... a platform capable of building the existing Irex apps and the newer stuff...

Something for a new thread?

IIRC, according to some info I got from Antartica, the GCC built by crosstool should not be an arm-executable.
I meant that I built a GCC to be used in ScratchBox by using crosstool as Antartica instructed. I just downloaded the GCC source code and used crosstool to create the binary. It took quite some time, but not tough. I remember that I have updated the process of compiling toolchain in Wiki.
Compiling in ScratchBox is quite convenient. I only use official SDK when building ipdf.
I am not sure if toolchain with libs not supported by original iLiad is proper. It is very easy to port apps, but it also requires additional storage space on iLiad. I estimate that the newer libs will takeup 100 MB. I am still comtemplating about whether to replace the original libs with my newly built libs on iLiad.

Antartica, your help is needed. Please check it. It seems that cellwriter won't work with xepdmgr. I always got "./xepdmgr: couldn't open display cellwriter" whether with or without "--show-window".

This is all available options for CellWriter:

Usage:
  cellwriter [OPTION...] grid-entry handwriting input panel

Help Options:
  -?, --help                    Show help options
  --help-all                    Show all help options
  --help-gtk                    Show GTK+ Options

GTK+ Options
  --class=CLASS                 Program class as used by the window manager
  --name=NAME                   Program name as used by the window manager
  --screen=SCREEN               X screen to use
  --sync                        Make X calls synchronous
  --gtk-module=MODULES          Load additional GTK+ modules
  --g-fatal-warnings            Make all warnings fatal

Application Options:
  --log-level=4                 Log threshold (0=silent, 7=debug)
  --log-file=cellwriter.log     Log file to use instead of stdout
  --xid                         Embed the main window (XEMBED)
  --show-window                 Show the main window
  --hide-window                 Don't show the main window
  --window-x=512                Horizontal window position
  --window-y=768                Vertical window position
  --dock-window=0               Docking (0=off, 1=top, 2=bottom)

You can get further explaination by "man cellwriter".

When I appended "--keyboard-only", I got a screen as attached. Now, the problem is: how to get this screen in text editor (such as LeafPad)?

The first parameter is the display in the version you are using, as in:

./xepdmgr :0 ./cellwriter

You are ommiting the :0, thus that error...

[ericshliao]

Ah! I forgot the parameter. Thanx.

To people who want to use cellwriter with xepdmgr, please insert the line in "run.sh":

./xepdmgr :0 ./bin/cellwriter --show-window

I should not forget the ":0 " parameter. What a shame of my memory.
