There is a dependency map at http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/pda/files/GPE-dependencymap.pdf The recommended way to build everything is to use OE (openembedded). For more info check www.openembedded.org. OE already supports the at91sam9263ek. I do not know how similar this board is but it might make it easy to build for yours starting from that. Well contributions are more than welcome! Also take note that the GPE project has moved and is to be found on gpe.linuxtogo.org. Due to issues with the hosting there is still a GPE page on handhelds.org, so we apologize for the confusion. Cheers, Philippe

Hello Florian, Hello List! Sadly the SoC sugest time is over now and descisions have been made - I was not able to work "for google" this year :-/ I guess my ideas where too conservative - too much ground-work which would have made development easier or enhance the existing frameworks (my OOo proposal) - not enough in the spotlight than other proposals with "implement long awaited feature 1". Thanks for all your support :-) lg Clemens PS: However you made me curious, why did handhelds.org (or why do you think so) decide gpe is evil?

Peter Bart — 2007-04-23T00:18:42

Hi Graham, I just finished installing gpe-calendar, gpe-contacts, gpe-todo, gpesyncd, bora version from your repository onto an 800. Everything went very smoothly, many thanks. The libmimedir-gnome package did not automatically install, but I was able to select it from the list of installable packages in the Application Manager. The gpe-icons does not seem to be available but I'm none the worse for it?? Calender started and immediately crashed once, subsequent starts were good, even after a reboot. Contacts and Todo started and ran fine. Thanks to your instructions I copied over the .gpe (and .bookmarks) directory so I have my data. I have done nothing yet with gpesyncd. This unit will go out Monday with instructions to report it's behavior. Thanks again for your help, as well as everyone else's on the GPE team! Best Regards,

I have not tested it (except to install and run it) -- please report any bugs in the GPE bugzilla. It should also appear in the daily build repository after tonight. If there are other applications in SVN which can be built for maemo let me know and I will add them as well. Graham

Re: New libmimedir and new GPE for Maemo build

Graham Cobb — 2007-04-17T12:12:29

Ah, yes. I need to rebuild the opensync packages against the new GPE libraries. I have not got around to that because I have been working on other problems (I am still seeing a problem synchronising with remote opensync at the moment). And, I will admit, because I thought no one else was using them and have been too lazy! I will try to build new opensync packages using the recent opensync release. I don't think I will be able to get to this until the weekend, however. If you really want to try this out before I create new packages you could try fetching the packages by hand and using dpkg --force-depends (or --force-depends-version if that works). But I don't recommend it. I don't know. Is this time tracker a GPE component which I should add to the list of packages I build together? You may want to use opensync on the system running Evolution (connecting to the 770 remotely), instead of on the 770 itself. That would avoid the need for the maemo opensync packages. Graham

Problem creating a GPE image with OpenEmbedded for theNokia 770

New libmimedir and new GPE for Maemo build

Peter Bart — 2007-04-16T22:38:55

Hi Graham, I'm trying out your packages, mostly because you seem to have the only copy of gpesyncd left :-) So it would seem I'm your test subject. I've added your repository to my aplication manager but I'm having a problem installing your libopensync-plugin-syncml v0.20+svn20061128-1. The application manager is telling me it unable to install it because it's missing the package libsoup2.2-8>=2.2.98. I do have libsoup2.2 v0svn20070317maemo installed from your repository. The aplication manager won't let me install libsoup2.2-8 v2.2.93-1 from Florian's repository. Should I force the install from the CLI, and if so what commands would I use? I'm assuming I should avoid mixing these versions, but can I install the GPE time tracker from Florians repo to work with your GPE todo? I've been eagerly following your work because I want to sync with Evolution. It's come more to the front for me because I will soon have to transfer all the data from a 770 to an 800. I of course would very much like a GUI but the pr

Re: Handheld/PDA PIM Recommendations

Peter Bart — 2007-04-12T16:18:56

Hi Nils, Thanks for taking the time to answer, I was hoping either you or Florian would. I have been watching OpenMoko with a lot of interest but it is a little to bleeding edge for me. I'm looking in the Metro Detroit area of Michigan, USA. From what I've been able to gather about the Nokia's is that the 770 was the test device, the 800 is the more tweaked and refined device and much closer to what the the next device will possibly be. So hopefully there will not be the disparity between Nokia's OS2007 and the next device OS as there is now between Nokia's OS2006-07. I take it that audible alarms are available on the 800 and used by GPE calender? I gather power management is much different from the 770, is the calender able to "wakeup" the 800 to sound the reminder alarms? The person getting the new unit really wants them and of course I would inherit the other 770. Best Regards,

Handheld/PDA PIM Recommendations

Peter Bart — 2007-04-12T02:08:30

Hello Everyone, I own two Nokia 770's who have done their job faithfully until I finally scratched the screen on one almost past usability. I need to replace this device with something similar that of course runs Linux. I am looking for something that will have a PIM with audible alarms on the calendar and of course all the consumer applications we have gotten so used to on the 770. That would be email, games, xjournal, leafpad, sdictionary, desktop weather and search engines, SpotYah, media player(s), Gnumeric, and some sort of sync to Evolution. Would going to the Nokia 800 be a good idea or are there better options out there? Best Regards,

libmimedir broken in revision 9093

Graham Cobb — 2007-04-06T23:56:56

I have been travelling this week and have just noticed that revision 9093 has broken my automatic daily builds: libmimedir does not build. The actual problem is that the modified Makefile references mimedir-recurrence-rule.c (and .h) but those files have not been added to the SVN. I have removed the references from the Makefile again so that libmimedir can now build again. Before anyone re-does the patch (providing the missing files this time), please be aware that I deliberately did not include the mimedir-recurrence-rule.c patch when I created libmimedir because it does not seem to do anything. Although the OE patch creates mimedir-recurrence-rule.c it does not seem to ever cause it to be referenced by any other code, unless I am missing something. Recurrences are definitely broken anyway (for example multiple BY clauses don't work) but this patch does not seem to change anything! If this patch actually fixes something feel free to re-apply it, remembering to SVN ADD the new files. But

Re: Question about libeventdb

David Hautbois — 2007-04-04T21:35:13

Now, I understand... Since the beginning of my tests, I try exceptions with only one exception for one event I didn't understand how all exceptions are stored in one field and one value : 1175769000 I've just made a test with two exceptions for one event. I see now the exceptions are stored in the "rexceptions" fields (i know that) but separated by coma : 1175769000,1175769000 (until now, i didn't know that) That's what I'm looking for.

David Hautbois — 2007-04-04T20:19:41

Hi I'm writting a python application to sync GPE Calendar and Google Calendar. Actually it works fine with single events. Python has no module to use libeventdb. So, I write and read directly in the GPE Calendar database. Now I want to add the support of recurrent events. I don't understand how the exceptions of recurrent events work. I see it uses the "rexception" field in the "events" table. But I don't understand more... Can someone explain to me how this field works, or send me some good links ? Thanks. David.
