[maemo-developers] Announce: Applications for download available
Hello! Since the developer program's devices are being shipped now we have created an easy download web page for our application ports to the Maemo platform: http://oss.kernelconcepts.de/maemo/app-install.shtml There you will find step by step download links that will directly install the applications and depending packages on your new device! The applications provided are: GPE-Todo - A todo list application GPE-Contacts - A contacts database Plucker - The well known ebook reader More to come over time (e.g. GPE-Calendar is being worked on...) We tested the download and install procedure and it should work pretty well with the shipped developer devices. If you have any problem, please feel free to contact us! Also of course any other feedback is welcome too...

Also, as 'install' is an ordinary user, no files installed with Application Installer can be suid root. Couldn't maemo have a system service (app) to do request a new mirror to be installed? Maybe the final version could have a few trusted sites and some PGP keys to protect users. Or we could have some central place to put free maemo applications, this would come in maemo platform and we can have a review board to make sure the package offers no danger to people's software/device.

Give time some time, I believe it will only be a matter of time before someone (from the Maemo community) releases an AI++ (which installs software on the root directory). I don't think it's necessary. We could use the concept of self contained packages really easy, like Rox does and some KDE people wants to with http://klik.atekon.de/ Problem is always dependencies... however if we have a base of applications user may want to install, we can check common dependencies and after evaluating their size x benefit, decide if we provide it by default. Maemo being a single device/kernel by _now_ helps a lot. But I still want the former approach, using apt-get and a GUI to manage user packages (not system/libraries) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri --- Computer Engineer 2001 - UNICAMP GPSL - Grupo Pro Software Livre Cell..: +55 (19) 9165 8010 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 17249123 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: gsbarbieri GPG: 0xB640E1A2 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: [maemo-developers] Mono on Nokia 770
Hi, I tried to get it work on my device, but I got the following error message: # ~/mono/mono-nokia/mono button.exe -- The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded. It should have been installed in the '/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0/mscorlib.dll' directory. -- The next problem is, that I can't create a new folder under '/usr' to copy the needed files into, because I have not the permissions to do that.

There is a tarball of the binaries here: http://primates.ximian.com/~lupus/mono-nokia.tgz It includes a README with a couple of instructions to setup env vars. You should be able to just copy a Gtk# app and have it run. There is no support yet for Hildon-specific widgets.

To my knowledge the app-install does not eat tar balls and without shell it is almost impossible for a normal user to unpack tar. When the AI learn about dependencies this will become easier (hopefully).

Well, that is easily answered: You cannot buy it yet! The people here on the list describing their experiences with their devices are lucky developers that applied since about four months ago at Nokia for the developer program - which has ended about two weeks ago. Obviously the developer device program members get their devices earlier than regular customers - probably to beta test the software ;) But the official release must be any time soon - maybe next week, maybe the week after - but not very much longer, I guess/hope. After that you will be able to order the devices from the next Nokia web-shop. AFAIK there will be, at least at first, no store sale, i.e. you will only be able to buy the device online directly from Nokia.
