Thunderbird also requires X/Qt and works nicely as well if you have the X render update
[xqt-libXrender_1.2.2_arm.ipk]. Make sure you install it if you manually installed X/Qt. If you have
installed one of the xqt-jumpbopacks then there is no need to install it again since they alread
include it.
To install thunderbird you need either the original [thunderbird_0.6_armv5tel.ipk] or the modified
[thunderbird_0.6-3_arm.ipk]. If you are using the original package, you need to also install the
pdaXrom compatible libraries [libstdc5-compat-sharp_0.5_arm.ipk] and [libiconv_1.8-2_arm.ipk].
On a C3000, space on /home is quite scarce so it is better to move the thunderbird profiles to
somewhere else with more space as well.
# su
# mkdir -p /hdd3/zaurushome
# mv /home/zaurus/.thunderbird /hdd3/zaurushome
# ln -s /hdd3/zaurushome/.thunderbird /home/zaurus/.thunderbird
Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on Debian
As an alternative, the Debian build of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird can also be installed and they
work perfectly. You will first need to install PocketWorkstation. Once that is done installing Firefox
and Thunderbird is quite easy. From within a terminal in Debian:
# source /root/.profile
# apt-get update
# apt-get install mozilla-firefox
# apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
# apt-get clean
This assumes you are connected to the net. apt-get will download all the required packages and
then install the mozilla app you selected. The following is a list of files it downloads and installs:
cpp-3.3_1%3a3.3.5-12_arm.deb
expat_1.95.8-3_arm.deb
gcc-3.3-base_1%3a3.3.5-12_arm.deb
libatk1.0-0_1.8.0-4_arm.deb
libexpat1_1.95.8-3_arm.deb
libfontconfig1_2.3.1-2_arm.deb
