Please Help Me In Installing Fribidi On Motorola A1200 Linux Based Smartphone.
It has a 2.4.20 Linux and an Intel XScale 312 Mhz CPU. It's distribution name is Montavista.

Hi Sina,

I'm not anyone on this list can help you with that.  Basically you
compile FriBidi like you compile any other piece of software.  Depends
on your cross-compiling environment.  Nothing FriBidi-specific.

https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/projects/a1200 has the official
sources for the A1200.  They seem currently to only have the tarball
and forums with lots of discussion - it's not obvious that
re-compiling them [with fribidi added] is easy.  But it's definitely
worth checking.

http://www.mkezx.org/ also looks like a great place to start for
compiling (although it's unmaintained now).

An important question is how do you install software onto the A1200
once compiled?  Does it have a package manager?  SSH/telnet/filesystem
access?

P.S. AFAIK, Montavista distrubute just the kernel (configured for many
embedded platforms) distribution + cross-compilation tools.
Hopefully, the official sources will have everything you need.
