Title: Maemo On Zaurus?
Post by: derekp on October 24, 2007, 12:32:49 pm

Has anyone managed to get Maemo (the UI running on Nokia N-series) going on the Zaurus yet?  Maybe by using pdaxrom and pulling in the stuff that runs under X from maemo?  I was thinking of getting the Nokia N800 or 810, but I figured a good way to test-drive it would be by running the OS on my Zaurus.

The base hildon libraries and extensions are already in the angstrom repository, so you'd be better of starting with that.

 Hi Derek, try looking at scratchbox and related bits and pieces. It lets you compile for the nokias, not to mention other devices. The point is that there is a 'simulator' which lets you pretend to be using a tablet in the compiler environment. Like used to be done for the Z when programming under QT.

This might be of use to you? hope so.
