After looking over some of the developer documentation I realized I didn't need a device to try porting my application so I decided to give it a try.
I installed the Scratchbox and Xephyr and compiled one of the test programs. I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to get started. After sorting out some issues with dependencies, I was able to get my program compiling and running in a pretty short amount of time. You can see the results in a few screenshots here: http://mike.yi.org/projects/quiver/wiki/QuiverForMaemo Now I have a few questions: I've seen some posts about cairo on the mailing list but I didn't see a package for it. Is it available or should I be looking for another way to fulfill my cairo needs? Are there any hildon_* functions to get the icon names for directories (home folder, trash , desktop, normal folders) and for mime types? I was using a libgnomeui function (gnome_icon_lookup_sync). Does the N800 have a way to emit the GdkEventScroll? Cheers, Mike Morrison On 1/11/07, Mike Morrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I was reading planet.gnome.org and saw many posts about the N800 device and I would love to get in on the Developer Device Program. I read a comment from MDK (here: http://www.mdk.org.pl/articles/2007/01/08/next-step-moon) that said posting a message to this mailing list is the way to sign up for the program. I have had a tiny bit of involvement in the open-source community: - I have been creating an image viewer in GTK+ 2.0 (http://mike.yi.org/quiver/) - I have filed several bug reports with gtk+ and other open source libraries. - I have helped my brother with his webcam_server project (http://webcamserver.sourceforge.net/) If given the opportunity to participate in this program I would love to try porting my image viewer to the Maemo 3.0 platform. I have not "released" quiver yet (except to a few close friends) so try it at your own risk (and if you have Ubuntu). BTW, Is the N800 even available in Canada? Thanks, Mike Morrison
