[edit] Installing Minimo web browser
Minimo is a Mozilla based web browser. It features full AJAX support and other goodies. Currently stock Openmoko build doesn't include Minimo.
[edit] Running on Om2009-beta
Follow the 2008 instructions, with two exceptions:
- you may not be able to unpack a .bz2 archive on the Freerunner, in which case download and unpack on your computer, and then ssh the files over to the Freerunner
- If you get a gtk+-fastscaling dependency error, run the following command for installation instead:
opkg install minimo_0.02\+cvs20070626-r0_armv4t.ipk -force-depends
"gtk+-fastscaling is just gtk+ these days, and you should be able to override it with -force-depends or something like this" [1]
[edit] Running on Om2008.8
From the Neo, download the minimo package:
wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/minimo.tar.bz2
Unpack it:
tar -xjf minimo.tar.bz2
Then install it:
opkg install minimo_0.02\+cvs20070626-r0_armv4t.ipk
If you get the following error:
- ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for minimo:
- libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.6) *
First try:
opkg install libfreetype6
If this does not install a libfreetype6 version > 2.3.6, you can download a newer libfreetype6 from the Angstrom repository at this location: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=libfreetype6
Ex:
wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0.1_armv4t.ipk opkg install libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0.1_armv4t.ipk opkg install minimo_0.02\+cvs20070626-r0_armv4t.ipk
Using Minimo with the stock Om2008.8 gets annoying because the keyboard always takes up half the screen. I recommend reactivating the Keyboard Toggle so that you can hide the keyboard while browsing.
I also highly recommend getting GPRS going so that you can browse on the go!
[edit] Running on Om2008.4
Download the minimo package:
wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/minimo.tar.bz2
Unpack it:
tar -xjf minimo.tar.bz2
and install:
opkg install minimo_*
If any packages are missing, just install it from repository.
[edit] Running in Xephyr PC environment
Here are instructions on how to run minimo in Xephyr PC environment and how to use other third party packages too.
These instructions should be updated to use a custom image rather than DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS -- see link above.
Alternatively, a binary ipkg was posted here[[2]]
[edit] Setup build environment
If you have built your Openmoko using MokoMakefile some of these steps might not be familiar to you.
Assume your Openmoko root is at ~/workspace/moko
First setup build environment variables:
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko/build$ . ../setup-env
Then checkout minimo from OpenEmbedded repository:
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko/build$ bitbake minimo
Edit local.conf and add minimo to build dependencies list.
MACHINE = "qemux86" DISTRO = "openmoko" BUILD_ARCH = "i686" INHERIT += " devshell" SRCDATE_eds-dbus = "now" DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS = "minimo"
After local.conf has added new packages, one must refresh bitbake tasks.
bitbake task-base -crebuild
Now, you should be able to rebuild root fs using MokoMakefile.
make openmoko-devel-image
[edit] Tips
The default Openmoko distribution lacks /etc/resolv.conf file which is used to configure system DNS look-up. Without this file, failing domain name look-up prevents web browsing. The easiest way to fix is to copy the host system resolv.conf to the rootfs.
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko$ cp /etc/resolv.conf rootfs/etc/resolv.conf
If build fails with
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible $OMDIR/local/tmp/staging/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/lib/libIDL-2.a when searching for -lIDL-2
(here minimo is installed in a Local Overlay, so your path will perhaps differ) try installing the libidl-dev package on the buildhost:
sudo aptitude install libidl-dev
Currently, nothing shows up in the Homebase page (under FSO, anyway). If anyone knows a solution, please update here. For this reason, there really are no bookmarks to speak of.
[edit] In chroot'ed environment
Following instructions in Getting Openmoko working on host with Xephyr to get yourself chroot'ed into Openmoko environment.
Start Xephyr. You don't need to start Openmoko session, minimo can run as is.
/ $ minimo
