Hi everybody,
First, i'd like to introduce myself. My name is Eduardo and i am working in
INdT with application development and port for the maemo development platform.
Last weekend, Renato announced that we are working in the port of gnumeric to
the Maemo platform. So, now we have a preliminary patch.
To test gnumeric on the maemo SDK, follow these steps:
. install scratchbox-0.9.8.4
. create a target with the i386 rootstrap
- run scratchbox
. startup the UI
(detailed instructions for the steps above can be found at http://maemo.org)
. install the support packages needed to compile gnumeric, from:
http://www.indt.org.br/maemo/support/
(the maemo sdk is based on parts of debian/testing - and so are the
support packages)
. download the gnumeric source code to the /tmp directory
. extract the source (tar -xvzf /tmp/gnumeric-1.4.3.tar.gz)
. cd to gnumeric-1.4.3 directory (cd gnumeric-1.4.3)
. apply the patch (patch -p0 -s <
/tmp/gnumeric-maemo_support-2005-06-03.patch)
. extract the extra pixmaps (I will send the pixmaps in a reply to this
email, due to the size of the package)
. run aclocal (it will result some warnings, don't worry :D)
. run automake
. run autoconf
. run ./configure with the option --enable-hildon
. make && make install
. run gnumeric using "run-standalone.sh <path-to>/gnumeric"
(run-standalone.sh is used to load Hildon GTK+ theme for standalone apps)
. voil�!
Now, regarding the modifications we implemented: This patch adds basic
Hildon support to Gnumeric, but is not complete. (our objective is to share it
with you, hoping you can give us feedback on it)
Specifically, work is ongoing on dialogs - we are working on the UI
(generally diminishing the space used by all dialogs, moving previews to other
tabs, etc)
Finally, somewhere in the future, we would be glad if we could merge our
changes upstream. Of course, we understand that our code is still very raw, and
that it will be needed to work on it much more. (for instance, we are working
on the stable version of gnumeric - this code needs to be ported to CVS HEAD)
Thanks a lot, and have fun!
