SDL Libraries

If you do not already have this installed on your Zaurus you will need it to play Pipepanic.

• For SL-5X00 models libSDL_1.2.6cvs-1_arm.ipk
• For other models libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk

SDL Development Libraries

You will need the SDL headers for Zaurus development on your PC if you want to compile Pipepanic yourself. Extract to /opt/Qtopia/sharp/.

• SDL-dev-1.2.6cvs.tar.gz

Desktop Linux

Type 'make'. This will build a pipepanic binary.

Sharp Zaurus

Type 'make -f Makefile.arm'. This will build pipepanic_x.x.x_arm.ipk and pipepanic-x.x.x-arm.tar.gz. You can install the ipk or extract the tarball and run it via the console; the choice is yours.

Help with setting up the ARM development environment can be found here. As Pipepanic is an SDL application you will need the SDL development packages both for the Zaurus and your Linux desktop PC. The development package for the Zaurus can be found in Downloads.

Desktop Linux

On Linux I get this error when running make :- In function `_start': undefined reference to `main'
Remove -Dmain=SDL_main from CFLAGS in Makefile.

I have a C Series Zaurus and if I run Pipepanic via the desktop icon nothing happens until I press Enter! This problem doesn't occur if I run the game via the terminal, so what's going on?
This is a known problem with SDL as it is also mentioned in the Crimson Fields FAQ/Troubleshooting. It is not something I can do anything about so just press Enter.

On clicking the Pipepanic desktop icon, nothing happens!
Open a terminal and type 'pipepanic' (without the quotes). Any error messages will be displayed here, and you will have a better understanding of the problem.
