[More] this gap by creating a fast and easy to use news aggregator for mobile Linux handheld devices InstallationFor now, to install Frothing you need to compile it inside a Hildon compatible desktop environment. To create such an environment have a look at the Moblin site or the Maemo site Frothing was originally created for the Ubuntu Mobile Guide as an example of how to port an application written in C to the Ubuntu Mobile Edition. This guide is available online here and is good to read for background information. UME Maemo Compiling from SourceEither check out the source from svn or grab the tarball to compile The source can be checked out from the repositories by: svn checkout http://frothing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ frothing The tarball can be downloaded from the project page and extracted by: tar zxvf frothing-.tar.gz After unpacking/checking out the code, run the standard autotools commands inside your target: ./configure --enable-hildon make make install DependenciesOn Ubuntu the dependencies can be satisfied by: apt-get install libgtkhtml2-0 libgtkhtml2-dev libxml-perl libxslt1-dev libglade2-0 libglade2-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev libhildondesktop-dev xulrunner Maemo NotesThanks to Chris Malley libgtkhtml2-0 and libgtkhtml2-0-dev are not available (yet?) in the maemo repositories so you need to apt-get the source from debian/ubuntu and build it inside scratchbox with --disable-accessibility Also you need to add AC_CHECK_LIB(gthread-2.0, g_thread_init) into configure.ac and do a aclocal/autoconf/autoheader/automake To Do- Create armel and X86 debs - Create Maemo One Click Installer [Less]
