Hi, I have been working on porting gcompris 8.3.1 to N800, the Nokia Internet Tablet. gcompris is a suite of educational games for kids. Yesterday I released the second version in http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora repository. The project is still work-in-progress. I have not tried this on 770. *TO INSTALL* Run apt-get on your N800: apt-get install gcompris-sound-xx gcompris-sound-all gcompris where xx is your favourite language code. You might also want to test the music by installing gcompris-sound-music. *SOURCES* Sources are available in SVN of garage.maemo.org. Check the project page for instructions on how to access the SVN tree. The sources are also available in the extras repository. *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 SINCE LAST VERSION* 1. Dependencies fixed. 2. Audio code written by me was cleaned up by Bruno Coudoin from gcompris upstream project. 3. Music packaged. Unfortunately it's still advisable not to install it. 4. Released in maemo.org repository. *CHANGELOG FROM UPSTREAM* 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 took latest audio code from gcompris upstream with slight modifications. Unfortunately this work is still incomplete, and the background music is still sometimes stopping and preventing sounds effects from being played. *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
