Does anyone know whether it is possible to connect to your Pocket Pc through Linux? I'm using Mandrake, and I can't seem to find any software which will synchronize and communicate with linux. Any ideas?
active sync with linux
Take a look at http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/
Excellent source!
I am porting some of the code for a LINDOWS box and it has worked well this far!
I am still debugging it and will make it available for XDA members interested in the XDA Linux project.

Is there anyone who's using his XDA with a Mac Computer?I'm using mine with pocktmac(for synchronisation with Adressbook and iCall).But ow can I install software into my XDA from a mac?
Any suggestions??

Copy the cab file directly to the device and run it from there. AFAIK you can't install without a PC where there is no cab-file option. You might be able to get something working in Virtual PC, but hey, who knows
How is PocketMac? I'm considering switching, but considering I review Pocket PCs and as such need to install lots of programs / make heavy use of synchronization, I need to know just how competent this solution is. Damn Microsoft for not making a Mac / Linux ActiveSync!
Mac
Don't know yet.Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.Most of the time it works fine...
It's a real drawback that you can't instaal from the computer....
I sync my XDA on my Mac (still os 9.2) with activsync through Virtual PC 6.0 and W98 and it works fine.
can you help please, i have got programon on my laptop which I need to run on my XDA II how can i convert it to pocket pc 2003 so i only need to take my XDA II with me in the week. ps im new to all this but i will try, thanks guys for all your help. plus guys i have got the new blue tooth up grade from o2 but i dont know how to install the files cheers.

Bad news: there is no way to 'convert programs' from Win98 (or any other versions of desktop Windows to Pocket PC. Most Pocket PC devices have an ARM processor, the desktop machines have Pentiums. If it's Open Source, or if you are/know the developer, you will have the "source code" to the programme, you may be able to (usually after quite some work) "compile" the program to run on Pocket PC. But my guess is this doesn't apply to you, so I'm afraid to say you're out of luck.
The makers of this programme don't offer a Pocket PC version? Otherwise, you could try to use MS Terminal Services or VNC to "Remote Control" your PC at home. Note that this is almost never an ideal solution, but I though I'd mention it.

When did O2 release the bluetooth upgrade, where can i get it from please.
Peter's right. And even if you did have the source code, you cannot simply compile it for the Pocket PC. Windows 98 supports many features that are not supported by the Pocket PC because of the Pocket PC's limited memory, screen size and processing power. You would have to modify the program's user interface so that it would be usable in the Pocket PC's 240x320 screen. And you would have to hunt down each unsupported API (Application Programming Interface) function call and reimplement each one using only supported API function calls. That may not even be possible. Plus, you would have to hunt down all routines that allocate memory and make sure that they don't allocate more memory than a typical Pocket PC can provide.
but one does come along way with the sourcecode
because if it's using MFC which many older programs written in
visual c++ is likely to do then with some changes of the dialogs
it could be run on a pocketpc which also support most of MFC

Hello,
i develop my apps on my pc, and they are synced with dropbox. So i can get the sources from my phone.
Sometimes i want to make some tiny changes on my mobile, but i dont know how.
Is there a way to compile my eclipse projects on android?

No (at least not yet). Probably the closest thing (related to that) would be this: http://www.appinventorbeta.com/about/ (still requires a computer).
I turn your question in another question, since I don't use any dev framework...
Can you compile your projects with a command-line tool ?
If you can get into that, you could keep your pc on and connect remotely with your phone (with something like netcat or ssh), and thru the shell compile your source in the computer, then send back the result on the phone (maybe with the aid of a FTP server on pc). That would speed up the process, as it happens on your pc and not on your device (and the new source would be already synced with your computer). Eventually, you can consider using VNC or RDP, though they will be more bandwidth consuming than command line and unpractical for small display devices.
No i asked for possiblities without using my own computer.
May there is a online service which compile the source for you or something like.
Edit: or may its possible to compile it via android terminal?

I have the solution, just download AIDE from Market

Ubuntu or another Linux distro in chroot without UI and you can compile whatever you need visit xterm.
I was just wondering. I know that Eclipse is the way to go, at least per the Android SDK website. But, I was curious what OS do most of you use? Windows or Linux? I'm currently setting up a Linux box and was going to use that to start learning Android development. I'm getting bored of doing .NET development at work and want to learn Android programming in my spare time (of what I have) and possibly to start developing apps.
What are some of the pros and cons of developing between the two OSes?
Thanks!
I stopped using Winblows when i randomly lost the ability to SBF with it.
Go Linux and never look back.
besides, virtualbox runs windows under linux better than windows runs by itself.
I used windows because it was my main OS and I used Ubuntu studio for audio recording. Windows has a lot of good tools available..like 5:1 with Linux.... Linux is good because you can Dev from source better/easier.
Now I main Ubuntu because I can play wow on it now...

I used to run Linux all the time, then when my kids got older and wanted to play various educational games from the library, I had to go to Winblows.
I do like Win 7 and now, with the kids tapped into technology at school, it's almost a given that I have to have Windows at home.
But, on my other machine (it's a p4 2ghz - ouch), I'm installing Linux and wanting to do some work on that machine so I don't have to dual-boot between Windows and Linux. Plus, I have WAY too many games (like Skyrim, Fallout, etc) on my Windows PC that I can't run Windows in a virtual machine, even though that machine is a quad-core with 8gbs of RAM and a high-end video card.
Anyways, as long as I can also SBF from Linux (which I googled and found out I can), it sounds like I'm going in the right direction in regards to using Linux for my programming Android apps.
Arch Linux, though I don't really do Android development, mostly because of the webapps I'm working on.
Gentoo/Funtoo are quite nice as well.

I've been doing everything with Linux since I first installed Red Hat 5.2 back in '98. Today, I run either Ubuntu, for whom I developed and bug tracked, and Debian, because I'm still a purist at heart..

Is there any android app that can compile and especially debug C/C++ code? Thanks in advice
I have a Nexus 7 16 GB Wi-Fi if that helps and I also used C4droid but there is no debugger
Normally what people do is to use a simulator, it is much easier as you can debug and run on computer instead of the small phone.

Ye I suppose. But I don't want to buy a laptop for work and I work just great on nexus and it would be awesome if there is. I heard that coderun.com has a debugger but it doesn't have C/C++.

Check out my project, just load Linux within Android and then you have access to your normal C/C++ compilers and tools
you can use DosBox Turbo.... its a msdos emulator...
you can run the Turbo C++ inside it...
I've been using it until now..
it just like ur using a pc... XD
