I have recently come in to possession of a brand new Eee pc. Te Eee pc is (at the moment) the only ultra-portable laptop available to the general public. It's relatively cheap and boasts 4gb of space, a 900mhz (underclocked to 640mhz) intel celeron processor, 512mb of DDR ram, and a 7" screen. It also runs a customized version of the xandros os.

Ofcourse, after buying one of these, the first thing I did was attempt an installation of OLX. However, ASUS seems to have decided that you don't need to run anything cool on the computer, just the apps that they have provided.

So, if you were to follow the "installation under debian/ubuntu" instructions for OLX, you would get absolutely nowhere.
However, once you know what you're doing, OLX is quite easy to install.
So, just follow these instructions and you should get it up and running in no time.

NOTE: omit the single quotes.

1). Open the terminal (ctrl+alt+t or, in the file manager, ctrl+t)
2). You are now going to have to install two missing repositories:
-Type 'sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list'

-Insert these lines to the text file:

deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2/ etch main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

-ctrl+s to save, then exit.

3). Type 'sudo apt-get update' into the terminal.
4). Restart the Eee
5). Install the dependencies for OLX (type these into the terminal):

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libgd2-noxpm-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

6). Restart the Eee again.
7). Download and unpack the OLX src files, which can be found on http://openlierox.sourceforge.net

8 ). Go into the unpacked files using the file manager, then press ctrl+t to bring up the terminal. Then type 'HAWKNL_BUILTIN=1 ./compile.sh' to compile the source (this can take a while). There are a couple of warnings at the end, but thats okay.

9). type './start.sh' to run OLX.

Well that's it.
If you're finding that it's running slow, it's probably due to the underclocked processor.
If you would like to fix this, theres a good guide here: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=211943

Please post any success stories or questions here.

Also, this guide may help people that cannot get OLX to run on any Xandros pc or other debian based OS. Please tell me if this guide works for more than just Eee owners.

Nice guide Nick

Hey nick, after you added the additional sources:
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2/ etch main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

Shouldn't it possible to install the regular deb-file of OLX now as it should find all needed dependencies now? Can you try this?

The advantage of installing the deb-file is, that you don't need all the *-dev-packages, also not build-essential (including GCC and all the stuff) and you also need to compile it yourself and you have it correctly installed in your system. You also save a lot of space on your disk.

(Of course, if you want to develop a bit on OLX on the Eee PC, all the points are pointless.)

[da_nick]

No, the deb file won't work.
The reason for this is the eee pc is using a different glib version to what the .deb file wants. I understand that getting the new version installed is a long process that takes up most of the eee's diskspace.

So, for the time being, building the source code is the only thing that will work properly.

[albert]

Yes, getting the new GlibC version is for a binary distribution *very* complicated, I would not try it. Only real possibility is to update the whole system.

But perhaps I will also create another package linked against an older libc-version.

Btw., which libc version do you have?

And have you tried also OLX Beta3? I think it was linked to an older libc-version.

I'm not sure what my GlibC version is.
I do, however, know that OLX 3 doesn't work either. My GlibC version is even older than what that uses.

(just got an eee pc)
From what i can tell i got 2.3.6 of libc/glibc, judging from /lib/libc-2.3.6.so.

Aand albert I would love to know how to compile for an older (specific) libc version - don't want the slow compile times from 900mhz nor the strain on the SSD disk (i don't want it to break down )

gcc wise i got 3.3,4.1. g++ is 4.1 only.

900MHz is enough for compilation, perhaps take up to 20minutes but still OK. It'll probably take you less time than experimenting how to crosscompile it somewhere else. I also don't know how to do it, you would have to use Google a bit, should not be that hard to find.

[SteelSide]

Well i find so much it's sad.
And the main concern is usage of the SSD, i don't want to kill it.
+ googling hasn't helped me so far with cross compiling :O

But anyway, for now i set up the eee os inside a virtualbox, and compile inside there. Simple enough.

[albert]

Have you checked this:

[SteelSide]

Hmm yes, looked overly complicated thou 
Suppose that's the way to do it however.
Well, if any EEE user requires OLX for their box, just send me a pm here and I'll maek a deb when i have time.

[Smexy Ligar]

i'm thinking about getting a netbook too- they are cheap and with an external usb harddrive they are pretty smexy
