Re: Announcing port of emacs for maemo
 

Sorry, I've just heard about that working for others. But I suppose that was in the past, when chinook was being used.
There is a version for chinook at

http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chi...e/libx/libxaw/

perhaps that will work.

Ah ha! Fantastic. I didn't think of looking at the older repositories (something I would never have done with Debian). I have found not only libxaw7 but also the dependencies it has (libxmu6 and libxpm4) there. They seem to have installed just fine.

I'm now off to try emacs with X but need to re-download the deb for that so it'll be a little while.

Thanks again,
eric

Re: Announcing port of emacs for maemo
 

Well, it works! Many thanks again!

Now I just need to figure out how to interact with non-hildonised X applications without a keyboard etc etc (but I think I have pointers to all I need).

Thanks again,
eric

Re: Announcing port of emacs for maemo
 

What pointers? I use the non-X version because I don't want to have to rely on a bluetooth keyboard, and I didn't think that the X version was usable on the N800 without one. (Although I'm perfectly happy with the non-X version, and probably wouldn't switch regardless. I am a bit curious, though.)

Re: Announcing port of emacs for maemo
 

By "pointers" I was referring specifically to the xkbd on-screen keyboard which allows for input to X applications. I've been playing with this and although it can be quirky at times, it does seem to work. I'm using a keyboard layout which puts all the keys on the left of the screen (overlaying the icons). I am also trying to track down the download for xvkbd, an alternative on-screen keyboard that may be more suitable. This is on-going...

xkbd works well for org-mode when I simply want to browse my agenda and take small notes but for larger text input, I am finding it easier to use the non-X version of Emacs with the full screen "finger" keyboard.

I'm also still trying to get wanderlust onto my N800 so that I can do email within Emacs.

HTH.

Many THANKS for emacs !

At the moment I try the X version (to shorten the learning curve).

Problem :
( N810, OS .43-7 )

Font size does not change with the font menu under Options.
"Font not found" appears at the bottom line.

When I type "emacs" in Xterm I get:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

Have I messed up my installation ?
Should fonts be installed separately ?

Thanks for any help !
