For help with Tcl/Tk you might want to contact author of this project : https://garage.maemo.org/projects/gnocl/, see also http://www.geocities.jp/ono_tetsu/gnocl/. There seems to be Tcl and Tk packages for Bora release. Virtual keyboard won't work for Tcl/Tk applications, other than that you should not encounter much problems. > C) Would a straight C++ program have any problems with standard shared > runtime libraries on the N800 using either OS? > > Any help would be appreciated. > > -Will > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers > > // Tapani Pälli -- Software Engineer Open Source Software Operations _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
