Exactly as you suggested, I didn't have to make tarball. Linking the firefox file to required location did the job. It just required some minor modifications like os.execl('.launch.sh','DUMMY') and replacing "service_name" with "bundle_id" on activity.info file and I could run the "EPaath" activity perfectly.
Now there is just a minor problem and that is when I close the activity after using it is says "EPaath failed to start". I guess it has something to do with activity not being suitable with new sugar interface. -Basanta On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 2:59 PM, Peter Robinson <pbrobin...@gmail.com>wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 11:37 AM, Peter Robinson <pbrobin...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > >> > >> On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 6:47 AM, Basanta Shrestha > >> <basanta.shres...@olenepal.org> wrote: > >> > Hi all, > >> > > >> > In order to build OS and some other packages for XO laptop ( ARMv7 > >> > architecture compatible ), I am doing virtualization through QEMU > using > >> > Versatile Express.
