As far as I can see non of this really targets Corys question about how to get the _current_ version of Scid up on his Nokia. There was also some report while ago that it is actually within the packages for this device, but that is of course the 3.6.1. AFAIK the device in question is just a "normal Debian" so it should be no problem to get Scid up and running from the normal unix sources, no porting or stuff should be necessary at all, plus I'm actually not sure about Pascals hint to the CE version of scid (this would to my naive points mean to port Scid from Unix to CE, and then backport it to Unix; at least it sounds strange). Anyway, the crucial question is: are the necessary DEV-packages available for the device in question? Ie. gcc, tcl/tk-dev and so on. This was also my question while ago, but it still lacks the answer ;) As far as I understand it there is some sort of package managing tool like Synaptic. And as there is some developers support plus OS2008 seems to be just Debian. Therefore it should be sufficient to start this tool search for gcc, tcl, tk plus their respective dev packages like tcl-dev, tk-dev (searching by these names would work out on Debian, they have no fancy names; tdom would be required for serverside correspondence chess) to be able to just build from source. At least this is the procedure for a minimal Debian to get scid compiled. > As was discussed recently on the Internettablettalk.com > site, Scid works very well on a N800 or N810.
