 ===== GPE (GNU PalmTop Environment) =====
-The PsionLX staff produced images for the Netbook using GPE and incorporating a few major apps. These are built using the Open Embedded tools. Istructions on Building are in [[Open Embedded]]. The build is currently (21st May) in a state of flux as we try and get everything necessary in.

These were built using the Open Embedded tools. Instructions on Building are in [[software:psion:openembedded]]. The build was (21st May 2004) in a state of flux as it had been tried to get everything necessary in.
-Current issues are getting the touchscreen drivers/libraries to work well enough to test things sensibly.

 ===== Gnumeric =====
-Importing and exporting Excel spreadsheets was broken on ARM (all numbers are corrupted e.g. 1 -> 312x10-8). This was due to the ARM mixed-endian double format. (Bytes within words are little endian but the word sthemselves are big-endian - This is IEEE-legal but 'unusual' :-). It's actually libgsf that is responsible for the reading and writing of excel files. There is now a fixfor both import and export in cvs. A fixed (import only) .deb is libgsf-1_1.8.2-6_arm.deb. This change has now propogated to Debian (in version 1.9.1-2) so this version should be used:

 To get gnumeric running on top of the OE environment the following debian packages are required:

 ===== Abiword =====
-PsionLX staff was working on changes to 'Psionise' Abiword. Abiword is currently cross compiling under scratch box. Compiling was attempted under the Stag Framework, but this proved to be faily time consuming, and had various issues, the Scratch box system was much easier to set up and use.

 A change to abi's configure script was needed to get it to build using scratch box, line 11424
