How to make Opera run on Familiar v.0.8.1 by Berni
Hello,

I have installed Familiar 0.8.1 some days ago. Great release thanks guys! I just plugged in the WLAN Card and it just worked. The integrated WLAN scanner in the Control panel is really useful. I didn't managed to get my D-Link 660W to run with WEP on Pocket Windows but it worked with OPIE without any problems......

There is just one issue that bothered me. Opera 7.55 from the ibm package doesn't work anymore. Seams that the Opie and Qtopia libs are now compiled with a new gcc version so I got missing symbol errors:

opera: symbol lookup error: opera.bin: undefined symbol: _7QString.shared_null

It took some time but I solved the issue with the help of the libraries from Familiar 0.7.2:

mv /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera.bin
 * 1) First of all, move the opera binary

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/QtPalmtop/libold export LOGNAME=0 opera.bin
 * Create a opera start script in
 * 1) !/bin/sh

Don't forget to. The LOGNAME stuff is required for the opie qcop communication otherwise Opera will complain that it could not talk to the message server.
 * Then copy the following files from the Familiar 0.7.2 release to
 * I also required
 * I also required
 * I also required

Thats it ... Berni

Useful Tips
Thank you very much to Berni. You make a Diamond on Opie... So great.

I have tested Opera v.7.3 from zaurus & v.7.55 from IBM are working fine.

By the way you may need also the additional command to make it run.


 * 1) ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera /usr/share/opera

Familiar library files you can get from here -

Also after recent changes it is possible that you get error like 'Use -qws option' then you should do the next:

ln -s /var/tmp/qtembedded-0/QtEmbedded-0 /var/tmp/qtembedded-root/

With Familiar 0.8.(3?) You need two more packages for Opera to work, its:

qte-font-helvetica-small and qte-font-helvetica-large (v3.3.3-r3).

Works like a charm.
