[How-To] Thunderbird 3 Beta on N810
Spent the entire weekend working on getting this to compile, and it all came down a simple linker error that was preventing the executable from being compiled.

I'm currently writing up the how-to while a different version compiles as I expect some better results from this one, and if it works how I want then its another guide for that as well. Edit:Bah, new compile failed, here's the how-to: This for ubuntu 8.10, it may not work properly on other systems. A good portion of this is adapted from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/cs2007q3 Code:
#Need to install the latest toolchain Create a file called .mozconfig in the Thunderbird directory with the following: Quote:

I'm currently compiling with --enable-optimize, which makes the compile time take alotttttttttttt longer so I'll upload that when its done. |

Thanks for doing this! Do extensions and profiles work similar?

Never mind, did an apt-get remove arm-linux-cs2008q3-72* :) Thanks a lot for the target setup guide BTW, I used some convoluted copy & paste and merge method to set up my "DIABLO_ARMEL08" target... Also, I'd recommend enabling extras-devel after you've installed the required libs. Someone uploaded newer versions of libs (like libasound2) which can break things. I was unable to install maemo-sdk-debug for example. |

Another option is Mozilla Seamonkey Mail. They share a lot of code with Thunderbird and they've just released 2.0alpha3.
I've had no end of grief getting Thunderbird 2 and older versions of Seamonkey to run on the tablets, I hope your version 3 works better. Looking forward to testing the binaries! |

Finally got around to uploading a package compiled with --enable-optimize. Performance is a bit better but still bleh.
It seems a lot of the text input boxes do not take advantage/support the n810's keyboard and that something I'd like to look into perhaps developing a patchset for. I guess I should look into how GTK programs implement their input boxes so that they work with the keyboard and then look at thunderbirds input boxes and see whats going on. If anyone has some refrence material for input boxes that are supported that would be great. http://bsd-unix.net/~fagan/thunderbi...ux-arm.tar.bz2 |

I also compiled thundirbird and firefiox for N8xx.
Do any body have problem with typing password? For me neither firefox no thundirdird doesn't switch Fn and shift in password field. I have to use copy/paste to input password with Fn or shift like digits or special symbols. |
