Porting to 2.0 firmware

[dotslashlycos]

According to the iphone-dev guys it looks like a jailbreak for the 2.0
firmware will be announced in the near future. Once that happens,
I'll be upgrading my ipod touch to 2.0. Unless I am mistaken, that
will likely break compatibility with this application. Has anybody
looked into updating this app to make it compatible with apple's new
firmware? If not, I'll likely proceed on my own. If this is the case
however, I would be willing to provide any assistance I can to this
person as I'd really hate to lose this app.

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, there's currently no work under way to port this
-- and you're of course right that it won't work unmodified.

I'd love to see someone do so, though (unfortunately, I don't have
much time myself right now). I suspect it wouldn't be too hard (really
just the interface that needs to be touched), and am happy to help
with any questions or problems.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hey guys,
I'm also a BIG fan of wikipedia, and i would love to see it working
with the newer version 2.0. I tried to install it on my iPhone 3G, but
it just doesnt seem to work no matter what you do with the app. Any
advice to make this working would be appreciated.

Is the firmware 2.0 in iPhone 3G? does it mean I cannot use this on
iPhone 3G?

I have ported the app over to 2.0 and worked through some crashes and
changed some apps from the 1.x model the 2.0 model.
I am using the toolchain installed via Cydia and am signing with the
included ldid application.

I was running into issues with having the wp database in /var/root/wp
and I moved it to /var/mobile/wp. I modified the source to load it
from there, but I'm running into a crash at database load time. I no
longer have the tar file to validate the archive via md5sums, so I can
only rely on the files I have.

Here is my syslog output:

If anyone has any ideas why I'm getting this crash I will provide my
signed app and code modifications to Patrick for distribution.

[Patrick Collison]

Can you send the source? (Privately if you like.)

(PS Awesome work on getting this far)

Hey, very good job!

One Question: I Installed Cydia on my iphone and wanted to install the
"iPhone 1.1.1 Headers" package to get the gcc running. But It seems
like the "libsigc++" deb file doesn't exist on the server anymore.
Maybe you still have it in /var/cache/apt/archives and can send it to
me. That would be great.

Thank you

[Xandu]

So you guys porting it to 2.0 now?

Great! Good luck!

[Alex]

Felix,

I didn't install the 1.1.1 Headers... That package was gone for me by
the time I got to the repository.

The Cydia packages that I installed (that are being used) are:
Darwin CC Tools
GNU C Compiler
iPhone 2.0 Toolchain
libgcc
Make

Along with openssh and any dependencies the above included I was able
to transfer Patrick's source and modify it on the phone and rebuilt
until it worked (except for the loading crash you're seeing).
I'll be sending my current changes to Patrick, and anyone else that
wants it until we collectively get this working.

[Alex]

Well, I figured out that "make clean" doesn't delete the ../c/*.o
object files, so I was likely linking against 1.1.3 ubuntu compiled
objects that I copied over to the phone.
I now am getting bus errors upon running the app with /app and /c
built on the iphone.

Hi Alex,

How is working going with this? Is there anything that non-developers
(such as myself) can do to help you along with this?

[Alex]

I have pretty much stopped looking into it. I haven't had a ton of
time, and wiki2phone has been sufficient for me.
If anyone else makes any more headway then I may pick it back up...

Sorry about that...

[John C]

Nooooo . . .

Ahhh hope you're getting back into this because i'm (we're) REALLY
missing the locally-stored-wikipedia on the 2.0 iphone. The-world-in-
your-pocket feeling is addictive! ;-) Maybe - if you have no FREE time
- you should put some time into it and distribute it it on app store
for a fistful of dollars? i'd definitely go get it anyway!

[Steve Wart]

I think the maximum file size on the app store download would be prohibitive.

Maybe it could come with a bittorrent client that would grab the data after you installed the app, but I suppose that most people with expensive data plans wouldn't be very happy about that ;-)

Hey Alex, do you mind sending me the source to take a look? We ported
Wikipedia.app to portuguese (http://www.iblogeek.com/?p=1229) and was
a huge success, people are asking for a 2.0 compatible version and I'm
really looking foward to release it, keeping your credit and
Patrick's, of course!
