Stardict port for IT OS2008

Finally did something useful for Open Source. It's 1:00AM now and I've just completed compiling everything I could find for my Nokia N800. Installing maemo chinook SDK was not without confusing things but I hope they will fix everything.

So the first application was of course Stardict. Just few fixes to code from trunk and it's ready:



Thanks to Gonzo for hosting. You can find 2 deb packages following this link. I'll commit my changes during next few days. In my To-Do list I have now Freeciv, my pacman game and mplayer's new GUI.

  1. hi, I tried to install that two packages into my N800, but it said these two packages are not compatible. Is there other package I have to install before these 2? Thanks very much.

  2. Hm, very strange. Have you tried to do that from command line? What is the error message from apt/dpkg? Anyway, I'll re-check it from GUI.

  4. I got it work finally, although I am quite sure why it work this time. However, I have another problem that after I close the floating window, how can I activate it again? thanks

  5. If you mean systray icon then it's a known bug. I'll try to fix it. I think the behavior should be the following:
    If [X] is pressed then just exit, not minimize to systray icon.

  7. >> port the 3.0 or above version please
    Yeah, may be you're right about it. There is already a newer version available. May be there are less bugs ;)
    Ok, I think tomorrow I'll first check it on my "Big PC", then try to compile under scratchbox. Thanks for the hint.
