Hi, I have been working on porting gcompris 8.3.1 to N800, the Nokia Internet Tablet. Yesterday I released the first version in http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gcompris. The project is still work-in-progress. *TO INSTALL* Go to http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gcompris, and download the gcompris core package, data packages 1-3, common sound package and one localized sound package. Install them on your N800. *SOURCES* Sources are available in SVN of garage.maemo.org. Check the project page for instructions on how to access the SVN tree. I haven't uploaded the sources in Debian source format, because garage.maemo.org has a 10MB limit on file size. *WHAT'S NOT WORKING* - Background music. Disable the music, or it might be that all audio will stop. - Python plugin. - You have to tap twice to start a game. - I haven't filtered the list of games, so there are still games which require keyboard. - gcompris is somewhat slow. *CHANGELOG* 1. Debian control files. Unfortunately Ubuntu's debian files were not useful, as Maemo's Debian tools are of older version. I released gcompris as core, three data packages, common sounds package and localized sound packages. Autoconf and Makefiles required some removal of OS X stuff. I couldn't get it to work. 2. Removed chess. Unfortunately gnuchess is not available for maemo, so I removed the chess game. 3. Removed python plugin. I was not able to get gcompris to start with the python plugin, so I disabled it. 4. Converted all sound files to mp3, and almost rewrote the sound code. SDL for Maemo does not support playing of mp3 or ogg files, and the platform in general does not support ogg files. This is why I converted the audio files to mp3 and rewrote the audio code to use gstreamer. Unfortunately this work is still incomplete, and the background music is still causing me gray hair. *CALL FOR HELP* If you feel that you could help with any of the deficiencies, please don't hesitate to give a hand. Send me email, join my project, send patches, anything. Especially gstreamer and python gurus would be welcome. Enjoy! Best regards, Terje
