Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

i did not use anything extra. I also use debian-squeeze. After installing easy debian i run apt-get update.

i did get error message and i forgot what it was. i think something to do with missing kde package.

what i did was keep repeating doing this in the chroot until it installed fully

after it is installed, just run kchmviewer in debian chroot.

This confirms my observations that qt-diablo is a bit slower than it should be. Maybe the overhead of using gtk to render widgets?

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

Ok, thanks... just updating the repository list via 'apt-get update' suffices. But for some reason, the first update did not complete succesfully... a second update try, though, went fine. After installing kchmviewer and fixing permissions of the /home/user directory tree, everything does appear to work fine.

Problem now is that the kchmviewer install drags in a lot of flotsam... flotsam which Qole had skillfully weeded out in the original debian-squeeze image.

Some magic to remember to avoid installing (some) "flotsam"

apt-get install --no-install-recommends <packagename>

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

eh hem... what is this "flotsam" and how to get rid of it.

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

Hey karatchov, just wondering what the status on this was.

Also, should I install and run this through easy debian instead of Maemo like asyik mentioned?

This program totally rocks but it seems like Qwerty's version was much more stable.

Anyway, hope to hear back from you on this.

Cheers! :)

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

So is this project no longer being worked on?

I'm thinking of going back to Qwerty's more stable build.

Cheers.

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

hello
I'm sorry for this late reply, it seems that I didnt subscribe correctly to this thread.

Anyway, I didnt tested the easy debian version, so I have no idea which one is better.

As for my build, I'm not sure what may have caused the instability, but I'll try to revert non-essential changes.

I've been a little bit busy lately, but I hope I can get a new update this week.

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

Thanks karatchov for your continued support with this release.

It's a total shame this thread isn't generating like a thousand responses.

It's one of the best applications to install for those who are looking to carry around electronic books for reference or reading.

No need to give yourself a deadline. My only hope is that you don't abandon the project.

Cheers! :)

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 

@Addison: I noticed today that kchmviewer_4.1-1maemo2(aka: my build) is more stable when downloaded with apt-get.

The deb file that I built (,uploaded to the garage project and linked in this thread) seems to be buggy.
I updated the link to point to the one in the extras devel repository.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I managed to get a new version correctly built, it has been queued for loading into diablo extras-devel repository.

With a special feature that you requested ;-)

I'll post the change log as soon as it's available ...
