zooming is supposed to compensate the lack of choices you have for finer per tips.

Yes, that is why I wrote ball-pen. It does not have fine tip. It is almost comparable to M92 stylus.

Anyway, you are right that M92 is mainly the device for reading documents.

Web or sketching are suplementar features and as such should be taken.

My mistake too, the topic says "scribbling app" not sketching

I tried cloning your git and building it for ARM, but it says, it needs QWebHistory. So I added "webkit" to first line of scribbles.pro. This fixed that error. But now I'm getting:

Code:
/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.4.4-glibc-2.11.1-multilib-1.0/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/4.4.4/../../../../arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lonyx_touch
What does that mean? It means you have to read the _whole_ wiki page about M92 Software Development Just copy build/x86/libs/libonyx* files from booxsdk to /usr/local/lib/ ...

But now I'm getting the following when trying to ./build_x86.sh:

EDIT: Unfortunately, I have no experience with cross compiling. Can you explain to me, why we need to compile for x86 _and_ for arm even though our target device runs on arm only?

What does that mean?
You can remove the dependency on onyx_touch in scribble.pro. Strangely, it worked on my machine because the linker used the onyx_touch library compiled for x86 when linking an arm binary...

Ah, didn't see your reply, so made some changes to my post. Sorry for that I got another problem with build_x86.sh now, see above.

Your system uses the arm Qt environment. Please see here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=31

Though I am not sure how to correct this.

If I rename /opt/onyx/arm/include/QtCore/qatomic_arm.h, g++ looks for this header file in /usr/include/ and finds it there. But then it says:
Code:
/usr/include/QtCore/qatomic_armv5.h: Assembler messages:
/usr/include/QtCore/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %al,%bpl,[%rbx]'
/usr/include/QtCore/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %al,%bpl,[%rbx]'
[and so on...]
I don't understand what this whole message means. Do you think g++ shouldn't use any *_arm.h-files at all?

User kodomo in the linked thread says, he simply made a fresh checkout and built the booxsdk again with build:static instead of build:x86/arm:static - but that didn't work for me?!

EDIT: Oh by the way, I'm running this on a 64bit Fedora machine. It would be realy good to know, why we need the build for x86 at all, since our M92 runs on ARM anyways

g++ for x86 should not use any arm files. When building the scribbling application for the M92 you do not need the x86 sdk. It was an error to include the x86 onyx_touch library. The script build_x86.sh is for testing the application on you host machine. If you want that, please try a fresh checkout of the scribbling application and try to build it. It could be that there are some makefiles or environment variables around that need to be deleted.

Thank you very much! It would actually be cool to be able to run the app on my machine for testing before transfering it to the M92. But okay, for now I will have to live with the error since I don't see a way around it.

EDIT: I tried to work around it by replacing qatomic_arm.h with qatomic_i386.h which actually eliminates the above error. But now I'm getting: http://pastebin.com/WJH1dgGh ... No luck today, I give up.

Just one more question: Should I rather use qt4 or qt3? Because apparently your script wants to run "qmake", but on Fedora there's only either qmake-qt4 or qmake-qt3!

By the way, the reason why it's always using qatomic_arm.h is an entry in /opt/onyx/arm/include/QtCore/qconfig.h saying:
Code:
#ifndef QT_BOOTSTRAPPED
# define QT_ARCH_ARM
#else
# define QT_ARCH_I386
#endif
And this QT_BOOTSTRAPPED is defined nowhere (I made a recursive search through all non-binary files in /opt/onyx/ and in the opensdk-git!). I guess it should be defined anywhere inside of /opt/onyx/arm/mkspecs/, but I can't find, where it would fit logically. Can you maybe do a recursive search through your files, where this QT_BOOTSTRAPPED appears and makes the difference?

It's great if developers are looking into programming tools for the M92. But is this specific app worth it, since there was this great tip to use an empty PDF with blank pages as scribbling app?

I think there are at least two things, that make this alternative scribble app very valueable: at first we have xournal compatibility. That's awesome, since you can not only _add_ things to your existing scribbles on a computer, but also _edit_ what you scribbled on your M92.
But the other thing is: we now have some kind of sandbox to play with the general scribbling ability of the M92. Since we don't have source code access to Onyx' "official" scribbling app, we can't use that official one to try out things like implementing anti-aliased brushes, different colors, special drawing tools for straight lines, rectangles, circles, polygons or even complex paths, furthermore possibility to Undo/redo or maybe even pen pressure sensitivity. All this sounds really promising I think, since Onyx won't put too much effort into these things, that are not part of the concept of a "reader".

I afraid this wouldn't work, only black and white screen update is reasonably fast.

peterx, if I try to open file and then change my mind and close file explorer dialog scribble app will stop drawing. The following patch should fix it:
Spoiler:

Code:
@@ -236,9 +236,8 @@ void MainWidget::open()
 
     FileBrowser fileBrowser(this);
     QString path = fileBrowser.showLoadFile(currentFile.fileName());

-    loadFile(QFile(path));
+    if (!path.isEmpty())
