Hi Rob,
Thanks for your reply.
I had downloaded 0.8.2 and have tried to install it but failed. I had posted
the problem to this mailing list with subject Newbie: Error in make check and
make install.
Can you give me an example of a typical Gnash configuration build for handphone
or a reference where i might find an example. I have tried to search for
openmoko configuration sample but have come up empty still.
Also a reference to the simulations that you had mentioned if possible. Thank
you very much for your kind help
Czarina

The 0.8.2 release came out recently.

Generically, I've found that the there is no graphics acceleration, so
you need to use the AGG renderer. Most phones run a variety of GUIs,
Gnash supports some better than others, but the phone GUI list includes
Hildon, Hiker, Qtopia, and GTK. Most of these are using Gstreamer, but I
often use ffmpeg which works too.

Cross development and simulation are rarely a straight forward
process... The Trolltech Greenphone, OpenMoko, and Access Linux Platform
have simulations of the phone available. This usually includes a hacked
up version for native testing, and a qemu based versions for ARM based
testing on a "real" device. Some of these use a LiveCD, and some are
hosted as a fake "target" on the native system.

You can't the environments are different. Most phones are using ARM
processors, while most desktops are using Intel. Phones often have
special requirements, like GUI toolkits that are manufacture specific.
For the desktop, most people use the GTK or KDE GUI for Gnash. Phone
based browsers, don't usually use NSAPI or KPARTS, so getting an actual
plugin working may require writing code.
