[Announce][Dead] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

This project is dead.

Why? I'm sick of fighting with the outdated software stack, examples here

The aim of this project was to run Harmattan apps on Fremantle.

This app was released under GNU GPL v3 license terms, without any kind of warranty. Although this should be safe, I won't be responsible for any damage done. You have been warned.

Source code is available on Gitorious: https://gitorious.org/meecolay
[links broken, will be updated]

CSSU is required, for newer Qt (4.7.4).
For problem with installing: read it before posting!

Compatiblity list: MeeCoLay Compatibility List

For user-friendly GUI look here

Workarounds: http://wiki.maemo.org/MeeCoLay/Workarounds

What works not (yet):

• For problems with Segmentation fault look here
• Many apps rotate while they shouldn't. Locking rotation to landscape is required. GUI would fix it but the latest hildon-desktop update breaks the only possible way. For more info: link
• Several libraries may still have to be downloaded manually, but all the most libraries should be just there
• dpkg might complain that dependencies aren't satisfied. You need to either force it (but it's no permanent solution) or edit DEBIAN/control. This is a rare case now but may exist.

Notice: do not use unofficial library packs such as amr.fayz's unless you know what you're doing. They might break meecolay.

DOWNLOAD:

The app meecolay is available in extras-devel. You can install it for example with
Or in a package manager install package MeeCoLay

Hey there,

I edit my post because i can't let it like it was, it made me feel i was disrespectfull of your incredible work on this.

Thanks a lot for you hard work and i look forward for the improvment this community will surely provide on this package.
(i even hope i will be able to help)

(before Edit, Post was:

Finally W*****p for N900 thank you so much you re a life saver!!!!

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Excellent! Long live maemo :)

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

[sarcasm]
fixed dependancy issue with libxau6? :D
[/sarcasm]

[sarcasm2]
when i first saw thread's title, i thought it is nicolai's new app :D
[/sarcasm2]

[seriously]
Great to hear you got some positive results and succeded in running few apps already :) That is one of things I'm looking forward to :) Tell me if you need any help with e.g. coding GUI or something (I know that low-level-stuff people often hate frontend coding)
[/seriously]

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Well, damn. This is cool. I'll test it out once I grab a few MeeGo Harmattan packages.

Side note: if this is a specially crafted chroot, then there's no reason a recompiled MeeGo-Harmattan libc6 wouldn't work.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

No, it's not a chroot. I didn't really try MeeGo CE chroot (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain proprietary pkgs by Nokia).

It's just putting libs to /opt/meecolay/lib ;)
Worked this way, so I sticked with it.

I PM-ed you about it.

I think I'll start with the low-level command-line program, then I'll add the gui. I need to learn GUI programming anyway! :)

EDIT:
<sarcasm> Yeaaaaah, now it requires libxau6 = 1.0.7. (MeeGo's is 1.0.6) and this will eat your children if installed :D
</sarcasm>

Only jokin' :)

Seriously: libxau6 stuff is a lesson learned for me. I'm happy it's fixed now.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

As you wish, you may stay with low-level command-line program anyway and then create separate program only with gui, which, after choosing some options, runs programs in cmd adding appropriate arguments (I think this is how psx4m is made - there are command line emulators and gui just runs them with parameters), maybe in this particular case it will be better than messing low level parts of code with gui (and then there would be less possibilities of conflicts if more than one person works on source code). But the decision is, like David Kitt said in his song, up to you ;)
Good to know you're not butthurt about that little immature joke :D Anyway, I'm glad you solved that issue, that is a lesson not only for you, but for other devs, too ;) And you gave a great reason to fix that ugly bug in autobuilder as soon as possible ;)

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

i did install this meecolay but couldnt run harmattan app. I tried to run eyrie but couldnt install because of missing dependencies. Just installing this meecolay would do or something else need to be done?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

I've tried CameraPro but failed, seems Qt problem. Anyone can post here which Harmattan apps we can run?
Btw, in every Harmattan .desktop file there are an 'invoker' command. Can we run apps without it? I've tried on Nemo 1.3 and it still works.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

i believe this is amazing really , please make it usable and in any case if we could manage to find the libc 6 alternatives or analouge ?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Please read the first post, it explains that dpkg will complain about deps.

type
Which version are you using?
Are u usin' cssu, which flavor?


Invoker stuff:
Just run
This worked for me. invoker is just some part of applauncherd.

You can try using invoker, I'll try it out when I'll have a bit time too (and 'll have nothing better to do)
You can do
This should work too.

Now I'll focus on library downloader.

My request to everyone who posts here about problems: make it precise. I cannot

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

marmistrz you rock man ! thank you very very much ;)

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Thank you very much man! You rockz! Please continue with the good work to make it more usable

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

thank you very much dear
you are a pro

please continue your wonderful work to make the secrept working very well


thankful man

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

You can run harmattan apps in Nemo 1.3?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Yes, as long as they don't require Harmattan-specific stuff or multitouch.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

i'll try quasarmx but missing "libqmsystem2.so.1" :(

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Ok, now could you post the depends?
You can get it also by
dpkg -f (debname.deb)
I'll try to put the library on the server.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Damn you people come out with amazing thins when i was about to try to sell my cell... not doing any more ove you guys.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

That's the power of the n900 and the TMO community Shinigamijim, there are too many brilliant minds here to let you go. Good to here that you've decided not to sell your phone.

This is brilliant work marmistrz, I am looking forward to trying this out :)

I was wondering if you may have plans for a Compatibility List (ala preenv) for confirmed running/none running apps?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Any chance of a version for N9? :D


Will be trying this when it develops into a more workable app.
Does this require any other mods to work,,, i.e CSSU; KP50 etc, or does it run under stock?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

are we gona be able to run Maliit keyboard using this?

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

i'll try duck_hunt (qml)... the games start but only black screen... i get "QtMultimediaKit" isn't installed but "libqtm" installed on my phone...

and treemaker-free need "libcapsule.so.1"

i'll test and report other programs and games here... (sorry for english)

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

cssu - maybe. KP - i dont think so


compatibility list is linked on the first post.

maliit: idk, try

If someone posts missing libs, please give me the app's depends too!

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

download meecolay-core from garage and send phone... and install with x-term... i extract tar archives manually and copy with filebox to "opt/meecolay"... its work for me...

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

i downloaded it again. even though same problem::

BusyBox v1.20.0 (Debian 1.20.0power1) built-in shell (ash)

root
apt-get install bzip2
bunzip2 -d applauncherd-launcher.tar.bz2
tar xvf applauncherd-launcher.tar
from that point you can manage alone

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

how to download and install those two apps in the compatibility list. now in my opt/meecolay folder there are two folders 'bin' and 'lib' and there are two files named applaunchered under bin and many lib files in the lib folder. is it okay? just being sure

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Sorry, I made a mistake, it should be -xvf

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

Yeah only two.

As soon as I receive some depends I'll try to add some more libs.

PS. Cssu Testing seems to be required. qtquickcompat may work.
I'm adding qt-components as a dep

update should arrive soon

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

How about setting up a meecolay repo? Apt-get would take care of the dependencies and people would be able to upload working apps there for easy download.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

where to download meego apps to test? whil whatsapp work? :s

i want that app which shows the scores of football leagues

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] MeeCoLay - run Harmattan apps on Fremantle!
 

I'm afraid I'd run outta space. I've got 1,5 GB of space, and libs will take plenty of that.
but it may be a nice way out.

If you wanna set up your own, you're welcome. But I think it's a too early phase to do it, as meecolay requires too much xterm activity.

I'm planning to allow using debian/meecolay, so that devs can prepare the apps to run under fremantle.

The update is coming 2moro or on tue.
is there something more than deps (qtquick, qt 4.7.4, qt-components) and the prerm script that needs to be fixed?


Use my-meego.com
You may need to login to ovi, but after you login and remember urself 4 2 weeks, you'll dl successfully.
you can get sth from meego obs and apps.formeego.com

And anyone reporting libs. please don't give me pure lib names, the depends too, if you want the lib to be uploaded. I'll ignore the ones without depends. You can attach DEBIAN/control if you prefer.

You can get depends
