Hi, Oookay...
I just spent four hours trying to find out how to integrate an application into the maemo environment. Now that was unneccesary and I'm giving up for now, hoping for help. I ported a nice little program to maemo (see http://www.scratchpost.org/nokia-770/packages/ ), and it worked fine, when started from xterm. When I tried to start by using the application menu, however, my osso_initialize call failed. By now I tried every single one of the ~ 43000 (j/k) combinations that could be valid in the - desktop file - service file content - service file name - osso_initialize call name - osso_initialize call version - osso_initialize call activation And it just doesn't work. For now I commented out the osso parts and now it can be launched from the menu. :) However, stangely enough, now the application icon of the menu entry is gone. It was there before I commented out the service stuff. I didn't comment out "Icon=", it's still there. Helppp :) And before I don't forget, a few nitpickings about the tutorial: - On http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html#LibOSSO-library there is no mention how the include file needed for libosso is called (until waaaay down). - the osso_initialize example uses a partial dbus service name only, and isn't the third parameter deprecated by now? - I sure hope the weird voodoo done by osso_initialize (magically prefixing "com.nokia.") is already gone? If not, it's not mentioned. - And the example doesn't use "com.nokia", but "org.maemo". Which would make it break in mysterious ways. - the valid chars in the dbus service name are not mentioned (and there is no NO DASHES warning) - "Icon – Name of icon that represents this application" (in tutorial) says: "Format of the file should be PNG and the prefix (.png) should not be defined." That is probably a suffix, and my voodoo detector goes off again. Don't ever do that. The file is called how it is called, no adding/removing stuff to *cough* "simplify" it please. Phiew... now I need sleep. Good night :) cheers, Danny -- GMX Produkte empfehlen und ganz einfach Geld verdienen!
