Mieru on the HP Touchpad@WebOS@chroot



I have succeeded in running Mieru on the HP Tuchped, under Web OS in Chroot.

It is using on-device compiled QtComponents (version from git, with libmeegotouch and other unnecessary dependencies disabled in configure, don't forget to change the hardcoded 854x480 screen size) with Blanco theme copied from MeeGo SDK. Other dependencies (Python, PySide, Qt) were readily available in the Ubuntu repositories.

It is unfortunately not very usable due to very slow and laggy page panning. Might be still quite usable for fit-page-to-screen reading though.

Android port
As Mieru is not very usable in chroot under WebOS (see above), I'm now trying to get run natively under Android, using THP's PySide port.

You can track my progress on the Android porting page on modRana project wiki.

Web OS native port
There has been some early work on a native Mieru port for WebOS. I don't consider it a priority at the moment - much more stuff would neet to be compiled + ported (Qt compile, Python compile, PySide port, QtComponents port) and WebOS seems to be going down the drain, at least for the Touchpad.
