Get it here (or rather add this to your App Mgr):

In the short term, as my Packages.gz file is not quite right, follow the instructions in Yerga's post (bit further on in this thread, post #13) as to how to setup the application manager repo entry.

diablo
main

It will go to Extras eventually, but in the meantime I thought people might like to try it out.

Thanks to Qwerty for sorting out the qalculate-gtk Hildon desktop menu entry, making some adjustments for the screen size and helping with the wonders of Debian packaging. And for reminding me to get on and compile this app too.

One minor issue, the unicode support is slightly broken for some reason (this lies in the qualculate lib, if anyone fancies looking at it the source is a couple of dirs down). This means the multiply sign and full stop appear as wierd chars. There is a preferences menu to turn unicode off, but due to the screen size you can't see that option (patch anyone), so you need to edit the conf file by hand, found in there: ~/.qalculate/

If anyone fancies Hildonising this then please be my guest.

Enjoy!

If it wasn't in glade, I'd have added a scrollbar to it :(

My application manager complains: Unable to download qalculate-gtk. Application package not found.

I have a N810 with the latest Diablo.

These repos are more trouble than they are worth.

Putting my developer's hat on I say: do it from the command line with "dpkg -i"

Unless someone can diagnose the issue for me that is?

I installed it without success.
Via the application manager 'Incompatible application',
via the command line

Code:

 

pocketpenguin:~# dpkg -i /mmc2/download/Maemo-OS200x/qalc_0.9.6-2_armel.deb

Selecting previously deselected package qalc.

(Reading database ... 17875 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking qalc (from .../qalc_0.9.6-2_armel.deb) ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qalc:

 qalc depends on libcln5; however:

  Package libcln5 is not installed.

 qalc depends on libqalculate4; however:

  Package libqalculate4 is not installed.

 qalc depends on libreadline5 (>= 5.2); however:

  Package libreadline5 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing qalc (--install):

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:

 qalc

Actually, it's now half-installed.. try installing just about anything with apt-get install. It will then, additionally, resolve those missing dependencies for qalc (if possible, that is if it's downloadable.. that libclnl5 is part of qalculate, isn't it? Try first dpkg -i on that one, then try the apt-get install trick. E.g. apt-get install libreadline5)

I could take a look, but it will be on saturday (tomorrow I will be partying until late night :))

All those deps are also in the repo. I did mean to install each one individually as you came across it ;)

If anyone knows why the repo itself isn't working I'm all ears; likewise if it does work for you?
