Hi, The compasschain plugin is proprietary and due to licensing problems we currently cannot publish that even as binary-only. I fear that getting it redistributable in MeeGo will take time Thus, currently the CompassSensor and MagnetometerSensor are unusable in MeeGo (unless you have access to the proprietary plugin). We should probably discuss about how to more easily support different magnetometer sensors. E.g. briefly document what is expected from the compasschain plugin so that an open source alternative would be easier to implement. CC'd sensorfw lead developer Timo Rongas who probably has good ideas. -- Markus _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
