Seems like a waste of time since it's likely that many of the 2007 apps are likely to be ported over to 8OS pretty soon. IMHO, there's other stuff to look at and work on. Although perhaps providing buggy old version on 8os may push the process along so their namesake code does not get a bad rap. That kind of stuff can be hard to over come. > I made a script to allow me to run OS2007 apps directly under > OS2008 by installing the appropriate libraries. > http://austinche.name/maemo/compat-os2007.sh > > I hand picked the compatibility libraries to install mainly from > just testing various apps to see what they needed, so it's quite > possible more libraries are needed. > > I've tested and successfully run several bora compiled programs > including osso-xterm (the old, more usable version), fmradio, and > aisleriot.
