[PyKDE] PyQT : Zaurus building &licenses

[David Douard]

Hi list, hi Phil

I am quite disappointed with the new licenses. If I understand things, the 
Zaurus version is no GPL'ed anymore, is it ?

Cause my problem is : I would like to provide a little GPL soft I have written 
for the Zaurus with PyQt. But the fact is I would like to provide it, among 
others, as a simple ipk file, which then should contain a standalone exec 
file. I would like the  standard user not to have to install the full python 
and pyqt packages. More, I need some extensions to PyQt I have written for 
Qtpe (namely, support for documents in Zaurus, AppLnk DocLnk, etc.).
Note that I have sent a patch a month ago with thoses enhancements, but I had 
no answer for you, Phil, nor it has been included in PyQT.
And I would like to be able to compile only the Qt Classes I do use in my soft 
in order to minimize code size.

But it seems I cannot compile PyQt for the Zaurus, since, at least, the file 
qwindowdefs for the Zaurus (QtEmb) is not available.

Anyone has ever developped an application for the Zaurus with PyQt ? And 
provided it as a standalone package ?
My idea is to use Gordon McMillan's Installer to generate a standalone 
executable. Everything works fine on my Linux laptop (I can generate a ipk 
package for qvfb)... But to do the same for the zaurus is somewhat more 
complicated.

If I succeed, one day, in this quest, I'll provide some kind of "howto" : 
there are so many undocumented things I had to discover... (for exmaple : how 
to show te little "ok" button in the toolbar) etc.

Thanks for any tip (Michael Lauer maybe ?).
